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. :)

Am I the first to post? *looks around* Squee! I'm first! But I'm not a lurker...I'm more of a stalker...oopsie! *runs away*

[tx-cronopio.livejournal.com]

Me! I lurk, I lurk. Mostly I just don't think I have oh so much of interest to say. Let's see... I'm 40 something higher ed bureaucrat in Texas. Mostly when I think of you I associate you with La Stoney and Dovil, always good company to be seen in!

I'm off fics right now, lord knows why, but I'm generally partial to Giles and Wesley, with a soupcon of Oz.

Most interesting thing about me? I can use the word soupcon in a sentence, although I don't know how to put the little hangy down thing on the C.

*hugs*

-> who you are in 10 words or more
julia_here because I am Julia, and I am, if not here, then at least not there or at least not right now.
I am a person whose spouse has been doing a hardware upgrade which I do not know how to spell and as a result my sense of day and night, up and down, and right and wrong are all jumbled. He got home from work at 3:45 this morning.
I do, however, know that the woman behind me in the grocery store line this morning was absolutely insane. Some things are easy to understand.

-> a fun thing about you (or 2, or 3, ...)

I am not afraid to say, when someone attests that Europe kicked all the Christian's out 400 years ago, "I understand now I've just wasted ten minutes talking to someone who is certifiably insane" and turning my back.

-> what fics you are currently reading (mine or other people's)

Um.. all of them? Except I need to catch up on "Sunnydale Passions" by speakr2customrs when I'm more oriented in time and space, for his funny is of the sort that turns me right round.

-> what the answer to the Ultimate Question is. (no numbers)

"Waking someone unnecessarily is not a capital offense, but it should be."

-> and ask any question you want.

What was that again?

Julia, ARGH

Hi Sue!! I just got back from seeing BRENDA. Dropping the boy off. SHe was disarmingly charming (her number one poison) but I saw the real her waiting to eek out. We drove like the WIND home. I have to start painting now.

But first: who I am in 10 words or less: Eye ham sofa king wee todd it. With nice tits. (ten - hee!)

Fun thing about me? My ability to call plants by their scientific names. Wheeee!

Fics I'm reading: Anything good with Obi/Ani or Ewan/Hayden. OBSESSED. (like things by imadra_blue)

The ultimate answer is: LET IT GO. Or possibly: YOUR TASTE IN MUSIC BLOWS. (not YOU you, you understand. Ewe.)

Desert island: how long until you cook Caza's feet and slather them with mango chutney?

[cityphonelines.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... did you just sneeze?

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

ell me:
-> who you are in 10 words or more: I'm just a lonely pilgrim, I walk this world in wealth; I don't know if it's you I don't, cause I damn sure don't trust myself (what, is quoting Bruce cheating?)
-> a fun thing about you (or 2, or 3, ...) right now I have an ice cream headache; Nick Hornby knows my name; I hae a bobble head doll of JC from NSync, for some reason
-> what fics you are currently reading (mine or other people's). fanfic-wise, inlovewithnight just posted a hilarious Galactica/Firefly crossover. Otherwise, I'm actually open to suggestions. I've been thinking I'd like to find some kind of meaty, multi-chapter fic, though I'm not sure beyond that. You know what I like (and, cough, don't). do you have any suggestions? In a minute, I'm going to log off and read a book with pages -- History of Love by Nicole Krauss, most likely, unless I get sucked back in to Hornby.
-> what the answer to the Ultimate Question is. Don't be an asshole. I really think that if more people lived by this simple philsophy, the world would be a much better place.
-> and ask any question you want. cliff, shag, marry: Zoe, Inara, Kaylee

Hi sue:) I am a lurker. I admit it. I am shameful. *smacks self* I really should post more. lol

Who am I? I am the crazy chick in the grocery store who talks with her mother - while in line - about how well Spike and Xander get along and what plot points we want to cover in Titans. Yeah. Creepy.

Fun thing or 2 or 3? Die hard Gator fan. Love to fish, and I quote movies in normal conversation. Iknow, weird.

current fics:
The road to Sex, lies and Duct tape, Provocation, Amazed, Irrisistible when you..., Kept, manservant, Obsession, His Pet. and dammit, a bunch of others.

Answer to Ultimate Question:
There's a shortage of perfect breasts in the world. Twould be a pity to damage yours.

My question: Why did God make the day only 24 hours long?

[paynbow.livejournal.com]

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*

[smashsc.livejournal.com]

1. big-sister, friend, sober, liberal, duke grad, hoop-jumper, organizer, photographer, planner, music/tv/movie/book/basketball fandom geek, storyteller, roadtripper - so not in that order.

2. I collect non-tangible things and photos are my memory.

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. (Carrie already quoted Bruce so how about some Ani.)

5. What does home smell like?

[brynspikess.livejournal.com]

Heh. I get emails from Free Condoms too.

-> who you are in 10 words or more

I am a pyromaniatic pessimistic procrastinating Spander-loving Ohio chicka.

-> a fun thing about you (or 2, or 3, ...)

I write Spander fic.
My eyes are cool... You know the colored iris...and inside them are the black pupil...well, inside my pupil is a tiny white dot in each eye.

-> what fics you are currently reading (mine or other people's)

Whatever I happen to stumble across when I have time to read. Right now I'm also trying to track down fics I read ages ago.

-> what the answer to the Ultimate Question is. (no numbers)

Fanfiction.

-> and ask any question you want.

Circle, square, or triangle?

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.

drags self out of lurkdom*


-> I lurk too much, i read too much fanfiction *not according to me according to others* im swf* hehe had to say that* from aussie, whos obsessed with btvs and angel and who loves slash.

-> never say never by pet and Salustra

-> do u belive in god?

[tgray.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... ten words or more? I'm not that interesting. I am the person who pimped 'Rodeo' to every LJ person I could think of. Hee hee (notice how I got that off of me and it became all about you?)

I'm not afraid to try just about anything once. I write gay porn! I think that's fun!

I'm reading just a few of them. Probably more than I should be because I tend not to write when I'm in read mode. A few: Kept, Irrisistable when you... , FLTOMB, uhm... there are others, but I'm blank.

Answer to the ultimate question: Spander. always Spander. (Okay, so i have a one track mind)

You're coming to see me, right? (I have to keep checking every now and then)

[savoytruffle.livejournal.com]
