Friendslist Meme

[willowisp]

Borrowed from (and started by) colubra. Modified slightly; I've also added the casting done by the sitcom meme.


Please note: I did not do the casting myself. If you don't like who you are, please don't hunt me down with pitchforks and torches.

Those users with an asterisk by their names have had the misfortune of meeting me in RL.

------

I removed communities from this (though I am endlessly amused that the feed officialgaiman was cast as Meg Ryan). However, I felt I had to mention one other due to amusing irony.

Community hp_ootp, created by and for a Harry Potter MUSH, was cast as Emma Watson.

Why am I always Wayne Brady? (I do watch Whose Line, so he is one of a very small number of actors whose name I'd recognize, which amuses me. I thought the sitcom thing just assigned random actors, but I'm Wayne every time.)

I met you at David and Colleen's wedding; I'm Kite on Druidmuck. I generally prefer not to say so, though, because if enough druidmuckers know about my journal, I'm probably going to crawl in a shell and stop writing. (It sometimes makes me uncomfortable to have people I know too well RL reading; it's mostly because I'm afraid I'll inadvertently say something to embarrass Hawkeye, since they all know him too.) I found you as a friend of either Tyee or Halsted's journal, and only later realized who you were; I hope you don't mind. I like cats and shiny things, so I like reading your writing.

> I thought the sitcom thing just assigned random actors

Nope. I started suspecting otherwise when several people with actors whom I managed to recognize kept showing up as the actor in any journal they showed up in, then confirmed it when I tried the toy a few times. I'm Sammy Davis Jr. Let's see; short, thin, male of non-European descent who was an extremely talented actor, comedian, dancer, and singer. Cast to play a tall, fat, female of mostly eastern European descent who wishes she could act, make people laugh, dance without tripping herself and everyone else on the dance floor, and who could probably sing again if she took voice lessons. Yup, sounds about par for course for Hollywood casting.

> I found you as a friend of either Tyee or Halsted's journal

Ah-hah! Way back when, when you first friended me, I looked at your interests and saw fireflies. Since it was right around when I started talking about my fireflies and assorted other critters on my walks, I though that maybe that's how you found my journal.

As a side note, it's mostly you who got us into geocaching; I'd vaguely heard of it but really started paying attention when I read about the various expeditions in your journal. Then when Andy mentioned getting a GPS I mentioned geocaching, and next thing I know he had a GPS and had thoroughly researched caching.
