Okay, another interesting meme.

01. Reply and I will write something about you.
02. I will then tell what song/movie remind me of you.
04. I will try to use a word or phrase that best describes you.
05. I'll tell you the most memorable interchange I've had with you.
06. I will tell you what animal you remind me of.

A bit modified, but there you go. Stolen from privatemaladict.

*very curious, yet restrains herself from posting the name.* It's rare and can almost work as a unique identifier; doesn't exactly preserve what's left of my supposedly-anonymity. :D

Would it work without the name?

You know, I'm so used to LJ life that it did not even occur to me that it was asking for a RL name. I've modified it now. I like the anonymity of LJ, and I would never ask anyone to reveal their name to me on LJ.

Okay, that out of the way...

01. Reply and I will write something about you.

You are a fascinating mix of demure sweetness and dark depths.

02. I will then tell what song/movie remind me of you.

Now this is a serious question to me. Off hand I can't come up with anything because it requires research. Let me think for a moment...

Perhaps "Say Anything" with John Cusack? You have that subversive mental energy about you...

04. I will try to use a word or phrase that best describes you.

Smart, and secretly pining for the fjords.

05. I'll tell you the most memorable interchange I've had with you.

Oh, our chat last night about Mary Sues/OFCs was fascinating.

06. I will tell you what animal you remind me of.

A jaguar, mystical, yet at the same time shy and smart.

07. I'll then tell you something that I've always wondered about you.

How deep the hakker spirit runs. ;)

Ahh. Gotcha. Whew. < / paranoid look> :)

Wow. It's always fascinating to read what someone thinks about you. :) *looks up Amazon's record of "Say Anything"* Unfortunately I haven't seen that movie so the reviews will have to do for now. I second that about the MS/OFC chat! Definitely was interesting. A jaguar? Heh. I've always pictured myself as a bug, a small, buzzing computer annoyance.

How deep the hakker spirit runs. ;) *chuckling* Born with it.

Just to return the favor and because I like this meme.

01. You come across as dignified and daring and someone who follows through with what you've started.
02. You're probably going to laugh, but it's Secondhand Lions. Not just because of the title or the image of the lion running through the cornfield, but the atmosphere: quirky and fascinating and very, very human.
03. Uh-oh. This one gave me the most trouble. Probably: a student of human nature.
04. Hmm, probably when you said that you liked my habit of always mentioning your LJ handle whenever I replied. My jaw dropped and then I started laughing. It was just one of those silly things I've never noticed that I did automatically.
05. This one's easy. A lion, of course. Actually there are times when I have to reassure myself that you don't really look like a grey lion sculpture.
06. Why the lion sculptures and are they a not-so-subtle hint at Gryffindor?

Wow, thank you so much! *preens* Of course, I hate to dispel #1, but I am an enormous procrastinator...heh.

#6: I don't particularly like lions. I like art that depicts lions, because when we try to draw something, we consciously or unconsciously end up enhancing it somehow. When we try to depict anything through art it seems like we pick certain traits or feelings and bring them out a little more than they might really exist. When someone has lion statues on their lawn, or when someone picks a lion as their national image, it brings out something in the lion that they identify with. No matter that the lion does or does not have that quality.

I'm fascinated by the ideas behind certain beasts. That the male lion is King of the Jungle amuses me because of what we've learned about their behaviors in our present sciences.

Anyway, the origin of the lion statue pics is a trip I took to Venice, where their symbol is the Lion of St Mark's. You can find it in unusual places. I loved it, and took so many pictures of lions. That started an entire discussion in my head about why I was taking pictures of art, which seems unusual when you think about it, and it just kept going. The trip ended up bringing out some really relevant thoughts about art and life and such. So I kept thinking about statues of lions.
