Shamelessly stolen from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladycat777 who shamelessly stole it from elsewhere, so feel free to steal it from me. Do I have lurkers? *scratches head* I mean besides the people looking for Pink Floyd fans?
New to my journal, been here a while but never comment, or hell, comment all the time -- answer the questions!
Tell me:
-> who you are in 10 words or more
-> a fun thing about you (or 2, or 3, ...)
-> what fics you are currently reading (mine or other people's)
-> what the answer to the Ultimate Question is. (no numbers)
-> and ask any question you want.
I was trying to find an email address today and knew it was on the contact list on one of my emails. I dug around and then remembered that I had another hotmail account but I'd stopped using it once I got into fic (because it had my full name) and started using Crazydiamondsue. I couldn't remember if I had deleted it or not, so I opened it and low and behold was the detritus of Pre-Buffy Sue. It was like a time capsule!
Where my crazydiamondsue@hotmail.com emails tend to read from: "LJ user" or "Excessant" et al and tend to have Subject Lines like - Sue! Beta this or I'll cut you, hor! and RE: Your fic Rodeo - I Never Used to Read AU, but... and Fic Update! Spike/Xander, NC17, FB please!!!, pre-fandom Sue went a little something like this:
E!Online - Sue, have you read the latest on TomKat?
Pier 1 Imports - Sue, we have hurricane glasses!
Classmates.com - Suzanne, 4 new people have viewed your profile!
CooksIllustrated.com - Suzanne, the secrets of Jewish cookery can be yours!
Brighton Collectibles - Sue, buy a matching watch for only $49 with a purchase of...
D.Marie Scrapbooking - Suzanne, it's a been a while. Stickers on sale!!!
Poetry.com - Suzanne, we're looking for new poets. Could that be you?
And, oddly enough - Free Condoms.com, as well. *looks confused*
So there you have it - before the vampire porn and the sudden regression to 14 year old boy ("Dude! Did you see my fic?" "Duuuude! Your fic kicks ass like whoa!") and lengthy discussions on homoerotic subtext, philosophical debates on artistic expression ("to leaking cock or not to leaking cock") and vast numbers of 100x100 pictures of pretty men smooshed together with my name scrawled across them, I was...gasp - a suburban, married 30-something who liked to buy lamps, cook, scrap and read celebrity gossip. I don't know where the poetry thing came from, though, that's just odd. I pretty much don't do any of that anymore (well, except the celebrity gossip, but I get that from Salon now and I occasionally cook. When I can't talk Caza into it.)
So, anyway: delurking day - tell me why you're reading this crap. :)

Re: Ultimate question - Caza and I have new cell #'s. I attempted to call him yesterday and a person with a gruff, sleep roughened voice answered and said, "Why the hell are you waking me up?" I snorfle and answer, "What are you doing asleep? Isn't this your Deep Space Nine viewing hour?" A brief pause. Then a *woman's* voice says, "Excuse me?!" Nothing against Caza - she sounded like Bea Arthur. Note to self: check cell # before dialing when you have a crap memory.

However, I did hear the words "Book of the Dead" and "Mark of the Beast" in the first couple of minutes, I just sort of... my reflexes are gone today, Franklin has worked 24 hours of overtime since last Friday.

Or that he's a man-whore for a few minutes. And BOONE is a man whore with him. OMG! Dirty Rotten Sister Fucker! My fandoms are COLLIDING.
There are coconuts, but there are no implements to open them. And if you ate his ass (I'll give you a moment...) then you'd have to kill him. You could Annie Wilkes his foot and keep your
pet, food sourceman alive.I'm writing an additional bit to my Ewan/Hayden RPS, I have an Obi/Ani (Padme) fic I'm writing, I have FOUR MOPeathon fics looking at me, two mPregathon fics....

Princess Bride!!!! 'Tis how I first bonded with Tgray, so lots of wonderful memories there.
24 Hours - The origin appears to lie with the Sumerians, over 4000 years ago. Interestingly, the Sumerians counted by twelves (called ‘base 12’) instead of by tens (base 10) like we commonly do today...oh, wait, was that a time management question? :)

Not too much in the way of fic these days. I'm expecting that to change come July when allt eh ficathons happen, but at the moment jsut reading Eats, Shoots, and Leaves so as to such less at The Grammar.

3. I'm current reading a good amount of the stuff that pops up on my flist - a few days late usually - and not much else.
4. Maybe you don't like your job; maybe you didn't get enough sleep. Well, nobody likes their job, nobody got enough sleep, maybe you just had the worst day of your life but, you know, there's no escape and there's no excuse so just suck up and be nice.

Well, anyways I just came over to tell you that I was looking for a fic I can't really remember, and I happened to stumble over your reccs list, and I passed out with pure glee when I saw GGI on your recs list ^_^ So yeah. Thanks for giving me a happy.
no subject
Date: 2005-06-17 03:44 am (UTC)From:Circle. No beginning, no end.
I was talking to a friend not too long ago about rec sites and her wish that she had been contacted before she had been rec'd at a site. I kind of gulped, because other than a people who regularly visit my site/LJ, I'd just rec'd what I liked, figuring that if it was a pubic post, and I wasn't actually archiving it, it was okay. I decided to leave my recs alone and remove them if people let me know it bothered them. I'm glad you got a happy from it! (As I got from the story.) I would like to archive the story you wrote for me in it's entirity, though, which is why I asked the other day. :)

Wow - that's a post of its own! Er, I could go with an easy "kinda," but I'll try to answer it without having to use more than one comment window. I was raised Prostestant, both Pentecostal and Southern Baptist (both known for their over the top fundamentalist interpretations of the Bible.) For most of my youth (through 20s) it was more of a cultural, familial thing than any sort of lifestyle focus. I sort of figured that once I "grew up" (i.e. stopped wanting to have fun - see: sinning) I'd go back to church. I did, eventually, in my late 20s. And I threw myself into a Baptist Church. However, I had a very difficult time reconciling my social beliefs (which are progressive in the extreme) and the strict teachings of my faith. The harder I tried to marry a belief in the goodness of Christian teachings and the divinity of Jesus Christ with my beliefs that men and women were intellectually and socially equal and that sexuality was something that one *is* rather than what one *does*, I found it harder to separate the metaphor from the reality. Even if I added liberal filters to all of the social stuff, did I really belief in a world ending that involved the literal, physical return of Christ that resulted in the salvation of *only* the people who believed that Jesus was the true path to heaven? And that eternity, after millenia of all too mortal and detailed existence that involved death, love, lust, pain, joy and the everyday blah was going to be spent in some sort of bland, hazy Utopia where man only lived to mindlessly worship? Well, not so much.
I don't believe that Earth is all there is, but I don't believe in a hard and fast Earth/Heaven/Hell totality, either. I guess I believe in possibility. I believe that the love displayed in the teachings of Jesus exists in humanity, and I truly hope that *something* is guiding us, or at least that we get second chances. I guess that's a kind of sort of "maybe"? :)
