A little bit about me for Jim and Sam.. (FAQ)

[glowing_dragon]

This is for rogermellie, who wanted to know what my loves and passions in life were.

This is also for p1r4t3_k1ng, who wanted to know what was cool about me. (or not, depending on my outlook) They also have a last name in common: ANDERSON. :D


Here's a short list:

I'm a bit interested in twins (and other multiples; triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, sextuplets, etc.), babies and kids (I like them to a certain extent, but am a long way from having them right at the moment), reading, humor, true crime, comics.. the list could go on and on.

What I do for fun: reading, going to bookstores and the library, hanging out with friends, eating out with them, keeping in touch with people, listening to music, going to my friends' houses, looking after little kids, sometimes going places by myself, parties at friends' houses, etc.

Foods I like: some Chinese food (hot and sour soup, noodles, curry, wonton soup, etc.), pizza, pasta, chicken, sushi, turkey, Pho noodles, steak, etc.

Music I like: classic rock, some current rock, some pop (no BSB-type stuff for me)... that's about it, though I can stand most other types... even my brother's weird mix tapes of Monster Magnet, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and Mercury Rev. Some other groups I like include (but are not limited to): Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Everclear, Matthew Good Band, Our Lady Peace, Led Zeppelin, New Order, the Doors, Big Sugar, Creed, Nickelback, Collective Soul, the Police, etc.

Stuff I like to read: humorous stuff, some (auto-)biographies, Guinness World Records stuff (that Primetime TV show is cool), the Outlander series, Bathroom Readers, true crime, trivia, some fiction (and some non-fiction as well), comic strips, stuff about music... guess it all depends on what I feel like reading!

Any more questions? You can ask me in here if you want.. or email me. (that is, if you even know my current email address.. MWAHAHAHAHA)

Oh, and YES.. if you've heard all those rumors, they're true. I am indeed the birthday queen, and I have amazing birthday prowess. (according to my friends Jason and Keith)

Food

[rogermellie.livejournal.com]

If we ever met up we'd never argue about what food to eat!! Guiness world records are great too. Very interesting post.

:)

Re: Food

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Haha, no.. not unless you wanted to take me to an establishment serving band British food or something. ;)

Yeah, they're pretty interesting.. my dad thinks the TV show drags on for far too long. Hey, they have to show everything.. right? ;)

Possibly I'll tell you more in another venue.. right now, it's time to eat.

Holy crap

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

You rock more and more with each passing word. I love your bands list! I am aghast at how rockin' you have become in my book after reading this :)

You are definitely on the cool list (or uncool list depending on your viewpoint ;))

Re: Holy crap

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Hey, I do try. :D Thanks for that! :)

I don't think that any list you'd make would be uncool.. or at least, not that I can imagine. ;)

Re: Holy crap

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

awww thx I'll work on that list thing, maybe I'll even post it up in my journal for you, keep those eyes peeled :P

Re: Holy crap

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

WHat I say is true, y'know. :) Haha.. sure, I will. At least, if I don't need them for other uses. :P

Re: Holy crap

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

NO. They must stay PEELED. I have decreed this. What kind of second mate are you? Do I need to relinquish that second-in-command of silly island status? LoL
*grins*
I'm a dork LoL

Re: Holy crap

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Fine, be that way. :P Apparently, I'm a very weird second-mate.. you're going to find this out very soon, if you haven't already. :D

*laughs* That you are, but you know I love that so far. :)

Re: Holy crap

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

ah, but wierd is good! after all, I'm the wierdest f00l on this island muwahaha (I mean come ON, we're pretending we're on an island called Silly Island... of which we are the single two VIPs LoL)

aw, you love that? you make me feel special heh

and being wierd isn't a bad thing by any means, I'm a pretty wierd guy if you haven't figured it out yet :)

Re: Holy crap

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

When you think about it, that IS pretty weird. :P This pretending game is cool, though. :)

Yes, I do. Glad it makes you feel special, heh. Heck, you're the one who said that you loved how I increasingly rock. *grin* Thanks for that, and for the humor.. my neighbors may not like you much, but I certainly do! (and not in that way :P)

No, of course it's not bad. I've figured it out smewhat, y'know? :)

Re: Holy crap

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

Speaking of pretending, what are we doing for pretend food while we're stranded here on the island?

Heh, your neighbors hate me? :) that's no good, they're not invited to Silly Island... which is bad 'cause the monkeys are getting restless and need playmates :)

And that's good, I'd hate to think that you didn't think I was wierd... 'cause I am. LoL

Re: Holy crap

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

I just read most of Life of Pi, but that applies to lifeboats stranded in the middle of the Pacific. So.. pretend food. I supoose we could pretend to fish, and use the resident vegetation and animals to supplement this diet. *shrug*

I think they only hate me because your comments cause me to laugh hysterically (as my friend Eric puts it) at the computer screen every time one of them pops up in my email. :) But don't worry.. it's good for me.. they say laughter is good for the soul. :D

All right, we have it established that we both think the other is weird in a good way. Better now? :)

Re: Holy crap

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

yes, much better. ;)

... I don't think I've ever made anybody laugh hysterically before... :) w00t!

And I suppose I could always wade out into the water, and allow the ambient sea life to acclimate to my presence, snag a couple of sea turtles and tie them together for a raft... although, we're gonna need rope, I don't have any backhair ;) hehe

either that... or see if there's a stash of rum on this lil' island of ours heh. Go Tortuga!

Re: Holy crap

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

It was either that descriptor, or the one where they think I'm on crack. :P

I hear sea turtles are heavy, but yes.. we shall need rope. Suppose we could always use the vegetation around for rope.. who knows? Hehe.. ;)

Tortuga.. sounds very familiar for some reason. Stashes of rum.. yup, reminds me of the ol' pirate saying: "Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!" (that's SO stereotypical, but it's true..)

Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

Tortuga? You mean to tell me you haven't heard of the greatest little city this side of the Panama Canal? Goodness luv, we've gotta educate you once we get off this island! *sidles up to a tree, begins counting paces away from it, hoping to hear a hollow wooden sound, looking for some form of secret stash of rum*

You should know the captain's tricks by now, but first... to find that hidden stash of rum that every deserted island has to have...

hrm, vegetation, good thinking, while I find this rum, you go out and get us some vines and flowers or something... heh

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

When I read that whole thing about Tortuga (especially the subject line), why do I hear it in a Johnny Depp voice? Irish (?) accent and all.. you're going to have me in a rare swivet by the time this is over, love. ;)

Vines and flowers, eh? Right on it..

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

*watches you run off into the woods, at which point he steps onto wooden planks. Peeling him back, he finds an entire treasure trove of Rum. Tears come to his eyes as he realizes he's now truly a pirate*

Now... to keep the monkeys from stealin' the rum... if only I had a sword... d'oh!

*seals up the entrance to the treasure trove, noting that it is fifteen paces from the palm tree*

FOUND IT! *wades out into the water*

now then... to find a pair of sea turtles...

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Rum will indeed make you a pirate, mate.

*watches him from her investigations into the flora and fauna of the island, noting his movements carefully.. and is determined to find something suitable amongst the vast undergrowth*

What did you find, love?

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

find? er... uh... coconuts... lots and lots of coconuts... *picks one up* yes... definitely not rum... no... *looks around, slips on one of the planks, falling into the hole*

well... except for THIS rum... *smiles wide*

and what have you found? (just make sure those monkeys don't find our rum!)

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Um, lessee.. plenty of long grass and flowers. Nothing in the way of real vegetation yet, but I suppose I don't expect it on islands.. I'll keep looking, though.

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

Yeah, better keep looking, we're gonna need some vines... if nothing else though we could just drink ourselves into a drunken stupor... *grins*

Well then, I'm off to see if I can find a ship-wrecked boat to scavenge for sword-like objects to keep those monkeys away from our rum :)

Good luck with those vines, luv.

*saunters off*

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Being largely practical in this scenario, I say we save the drunken stupor for later on, love.. like, after we find some vegetation / swords / whatever we need to ensure our survival. Sounds like an idea, though... *grins*

*wanders off further on the island, looking for patches of vegetation and little animals*

Good luck to you too, luv. You're going to need it, especially with those monkeys!

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

Wait... I had to wait to drink the rum? ... that would probably have made the search for sword-like objects easier, ne? :)

*wanders drunkenly farther down the beach, keeping his eyes peeled for anything resembling a sword.*

*farther down the beach, a derelict shipwreck is seen out in the water, the name of the vessel reads "SS Minnow 2"*

Luv, methinks we may be in more trouble than I thought... ever hear of a lad named Gilligan?

*picks a stick up off the beach for a walking stick*

(hey, this is sword-like! now to find one for you...)

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Yes, waiting to drink the rum would have made it easier. :)

Yes, I have.. haven't read up on his adventures lately, though I do believe we should be a wee bit concerned.

*finds some vegetation in surprising abundance futher down the island*

Hmmm.. that's interesting. Such surprising abundance here.. with the animals, to boot..

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

abundance? lovely! At least we won't have to try Monkey Stew :) *does a jig*

Now then, if only we could get out to the Minnow and see if it's salvageable, or at least scavengeable...

*picks up another stick, weighing it in his hand* Here, I got you a sword-like object too :)

*begins wobbling back to the rum cache.*

I'll just sit here until you come back... and let the world stop spinning...

*the sounds of monkeys in the distance puts him on edge*

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Yes, monkey stew sounds perfectly horrible.

*goes back to where you are, carefully noting the location of veggie patches*

Thanks for the sword-like object, luv.. I'm here with you now. :) *puts reassuring hand on your shoulder, as much to let you know where I am, as to calm both of us down*

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

*raises the stick to strike at you in paranoia, stops after looking up* oh... sorry... those monkeys have me on edge...

*shouts into the woods* THE RUM IS OURS! heh

I wonder who left the rum here in the first place?

Hrm, I suppose we'll have to wander into those woods and start lookin' for meals, eh luv? Veggies are nice and all but a Coney Stew is sounding mighty tasty.

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

*flinches a little, but understands* It's only me.. but you're not the only one these monkeys have on edge.

Heh.. maybe that'll work. No idea who left the rum and planted all the veggies... but that'll be good for us.

Yes, I think so.. I did see animals around. Not quite sure what they are, since the monkeys distracted me...

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[p1r4t3-k1ng.livejournal.com]

hrm, after we get to the ship and set up a base camp we'll go huntin'! besides, maybe that ship'll have provisions for us?

Enough of this sea turtle nonsense! we swim! *begins swimming out to the SS Minnow 2.*

comin'? bring that rope! :)

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean, love.

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Maybe it will, we can only hope! So let's swim then!

*starts swimming out to the ship, bringing the rope since it may come in handy*

[intravenous.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to let you know that I received what you sent.
I'm not at my house now so I cannot tell you how much I like it, but my mother called to tell me it came.
Thanks for your thoughts!

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Oh good, I sent it out last week.

You're welcome!

[cagekitten.livejournal.com]

Hi I'm from the Question Club. Can I add you?

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Hi. Any reason why? Just curious.

Oh, and what's your name? :)

[cagekitten.livejournal.com]

I can relate to the jealousy issue. And I just wanted to see if we have other stuff in common as well. I'm at a temp job this month with tons of down time and I'd love to spend it getting to know some new folks that I can relate to. I know that's not a fabulous reason to add me or anything so I won't take it personal if you say no.

I don't actually ever use my real name, not even in filtered posts.

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Well, we can give this a try. :D

Fair enough.

[weatherguy80.livejournal.com]

Thought i would say hello here. Might as add one more thing to your inbox, haha. Feel free to add me if you want :)

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Haha, sounds good!

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm talking to my brother here! ;)

[weatherguy80.livejournal.com]

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. He used to love Garfield because of Jon Arbuckle. :D

[sunsetcloud.livejournal.com]

I do get comment notification via email but there were like 100 pages of comments; it didn't show our ones specifically on that Lj pirate post.. :P

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. :P
