Delurking Day!

[crazydiamondsue]

Shamelessly stolen from 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. :)

Not strictly a lurker, but meh *g*

I wrote an awesome one for karabair so I shall try to repeat the awesomeness without blatently ripping myself off...

About me: A single 22 yr old who spend too much time on the computer...oops. Not 10 words...heh.

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.

I have no answer, but I suspect it too would be Ultimate *g*

So...no gay dead porn before finding fandom?... *g*

I wouldn't consider someone I exchanged Christmas cards with to be a lurker, per se, no. I haven't read all I'd like lately too. Funnily enough, this time of year last year was my big influx of fic. Don't why this year is so different.

And somehow the segue of my online activities from recipes and acid free stickers to "how many times can Xander act shocked that Spike wants to shag him be believable" was so gradual I barely noticed the change. Which could have made for some funny recipe postings, if you think about it...
