If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want, either good or bad. I promise not to come after you with a spatula, either way.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.

Well, the only memory I have of you in person is meeting you at last GAFilk, where I mentally filed you as "friendly large teddybear with a cool hat who likes filk. Cool."

But mostly these days I have memories of you being friendly and willing to chat online, and I enjoy our chats.

Snuggled up watching movies on the old futon, or walking behind you with Brittany on your shoulders, watching the two of you have a lovely time at the zoo.

Meeting you on a grassy traffic island near BU.

Gosh, which memory to pick? The one where you told me, "If you bring that thing to a filk, people will listen to you"? Maybe the indelible memory of you kissing me through the open window of my car, at a stoplight, late at night, after a housefilk. Or how about when I had to take you out of my house to tell you something terrible? Hm. You know, I'll settle on one that you might not even know about.

At the 2001 OVFF, where TWS were Guests of Honour, you played "Con Spent in a Circle" at the Pegasus Awards concert. You did such a great job and were so nervous and happy to be there. ladyat turned to me and we were so proud of you we had to hug each other. I think she even said, "Our boy's grown up!"

I recall spotting your name badge at an OVFF, probably last year's, and thinking that this man looks nothing like his userpic, and asking if, like The Brain, you were in fact inside a large man-suit. You did not deny it.

That sounds like an interesting song.

/pokes over to your journal to see who this person is. Whoa. Welsh filker harpist knitter breadbaker... Whoa. Oooh, you like Guy Gavriel Kay and Susan Cooper. Oooh. There's stuff I love that I didn't think to put on my interests list.

The wonders of LJ - letting you find fascinatingly interesting people who live too far away to meet.

Exchanging rather interesting stories sitting in the bar with a bunch of friends at Gafilk :-)

[gnomedude.livejournal.com]

Not much of a memory. At the one OVFF I went to I remember passing you by in the hall and exchanging a "Hi" as either Pafuts or Bardiclug was wisking me from one place to the next introducing me to all the people they knew.

Schmoozing with you and kitzani at more than one OVFF on a Thursday night.

"Do you think it would help if we released the Parking Brake?"

The time it took us two days to get a wheel off the Nissian so I could change the brake shoes...

I remember when both of us were helping [Unknown site tag] move all her stuff onto a huge crate bound for England. I recall you teasing me a little bit and making me giggle. I like to giggle.

Being introduced at GAFilk and my eyes just going up and up and up. You're so tall! Stunty little dwarf that I am, I was very impressed by how darned tall and wide you were! Of course, the "friendly" gene was given to you in amounts to match the "tall" and "wide" part as well :-)

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

Well, that's not always accurate. Sometimes, I don't wear the hat. :)

I enjoy our chats too. Looking forward to more of them.

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

That really was a wonderful weekend. I can't wait until we have another one.

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

And somehow we've managed NOT to see each other again, which is really too bad. I remember meeting you at the Copenhagen performance earlier in that same week and finding you strikingly attractive. Later, we all walked home and stopped for ice cream.

We really *do* need to make some new memories, sometime, don't we?

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

Awwww. Thanks, hon. I have that indelible memory of that kiss, too. And a few others that I won't discuss here and now. *hugs you tightly* Love you.

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

Nor do I deny it now, though I shall also refuse to confirm it, for form's sake.

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I remember *that* conversation. :)

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

That's often the problem with OVFF -- once it's in full swing, there's always something (and usually 3 or 4 somethings) going on. It was nice to meet you though. You should come to Gafilk some year. :)

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

I was glad to be back for Thursday this year. The last year or two, I hadn't been able to make it up early, and that was a bummer.

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

Heh, oh yeah, we'll never live that down, will we?

I will never forget the day we FIRST met, when you knocked on our door on Sunday morning, and said to my bleary-eyed approach, "Hi, I'm an old friend of Kim's. Can I borrow a couple of gallons of water?"

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

And you're terribly cute when you do. ;)

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

"It's not my fault that I'm the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise!"

Of course, that's not true anymore, since we started going to the gym. Oh well. :)

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

telynor is one of the wonderful people in the world. She's well worth getting to know.

[magid.livejournal.com]

Any chance you'll be at Arisia this year?
