Friendzy!

[aggienaut]

I thought I'd do something the lovely boxsofrain did a bit ago, and declare a Friendzy (Friending frenzy!). Actually I'm not sure she intended for it to work out quite like this but it did: (1) answer the following questions in a comment; (2) As Boxes says, "Also to make this more fun, feel free to read other peoples comments and reply to them with something nice about them. ... Make friends, add each other, mingle, just please be nice." (3) extra points if you mention the Friendzy in your own LJ and send people over to the party! (=

Hey, just read a few of your latest posts. Interesting stuff. Mind if I friend you? :)

[superhappytime.livejournal.com]

way to stereotype people!

I'd say I'm more of an engineer by accident.

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

LOL well apparently Belgium is so unknown most people gloss over the fact ;)

You're more than welcome =D

Re: My Answers!

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

LOL you sure are an exception :P

Re: My Answers!

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

Neither can I. I've seen where they were battling, visited trenches and all that, and ... there's just something unreal about it all.

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

OMG you have no idea! Granted this was ten years ago, but ... yeah, I still could ;)

Sure, I just friended you too.

Name: Lili
Age: 45 (yep, I'm getting ripe)
Location: Middle of the Navajo rez, AZ
Occupation: RN
Story Behind Your LJ Name: I was hiding from my then-13 year old niece, who had decided I was "too old" to be on LJ, so I picked a fangirly name that was unlike anything I'd ever used before. I like LOTR, and Pippin is my favorite hobbit, and I was hiding, so- Pippin's Rosy (as in Rosy Cotten, Sam Gamgee's wife). It worked.. but now I'm kinda stuck with it...
Favourite LJ Community: ask_me_anything
Oddest Pet you might like to have (but don't): I'd like a blue-tongued skink, but the Navajo have some issue with pet reptiles- there's a clause in our lease saying no snakes or lizards, period. Its a cultural thing apparently.
Favourite Historical Event: The great Chicago fire.

I'm married, an animal nut (2 pit bulls, 2 basenji mixes, 1 boxer/shar pei, 1 pit bull/blue lacey, and 1 red husky mix, plus 3 cats), I love to garden and read and roadtrip.

I never know what to say on these things.. but this seemed like fun, so I did it. =)

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

Me? Stereotype? Never. I do come from a family of engineers, though, and I made the mistake of dating one as well. Although I think the problem may have had more to do with him being a Scorpio. *shrugs*

[spiderlilyfairy.livejournal.com]

Your pits must have a really high prey drive. I have 2 pits and a pit mix.. plus 2 basenji mixes, a shar-pei/boxer, and a husky mix. The apha dogs are the basenji mixes (and they're the oldest and most decrepit- go figure). The one at the bottom of the pack hierarchy is the pocket pit (she only weighs 35 lbs). We also have 3 cats.

Granted, the pocket pit has a very high prey drive and will kill any strange cat that wanders into our back yard.. but ours are safe in the house with her.

I do love my pibbles, tho. =)

[extoria.livejournal.com]

One of my pits is half lab, and she's the one that likes to chase small things. The other one is just super territorial and a total alpha pack-leader. Neither of them has ever actually killed anything... ::knock on wood:: I just know that they are already a handful and I don't need any more stress in my life from my "kids" !!!

Re: My Answers!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Yeah I think its one of my favourite stories of any kind.

Re: Late as usual

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Trinidad! Thats one you don't hear every day. How's life in Trinidad?

What is this deadbrowalking?

I read about Operation Mincemeat on Damninteresting.com awhile ago, funny shit!

One More Question

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Oh whats your favourite movie?

Re: One More Question

[helloautumn.livejournal.com]

shaun of the dead. (i love zombie-based movies. no joke. i also love anything that simon pegg, nick frost and edgar wright touch. altogether.)

of course, there's lots of good movies that i adore. but can't narrow down a favorite, but this is the one that makes me feel better and i can watch it over and over and feel better.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

I'm still amused that we bumped into eachother here deep in the blogosphere but already met in real life and such. Crazy coincidence!

As to pets, I think my mum presently has a tarantula (she's a science teacher so things that will enthrall the students is a plus), I had.. many generations of pet rats .. many other random things including a possum and chickens at various times. None of the three you list as would like to have but I definitely agree those would be fun!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Whats a basenji mix?

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

I recently bought a shirt thats green witha big shamrock on it and it says "STEREOTYPE ME, I'M IRISH" (=


Seriously, just because I'm Irish doesn't mean I like to drink stout and wear a jaunty cap ... thats pure coincidence! haha d=

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Aw. Possums actually make pretty good pets. Smarter than cats, can be potty trained, etc etc.

[extoria.livejournal.com]

Wow, this sounds really silly to say, but...

Hey! I'm an addict too! Or, was... clean since June '05. Heh.

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

Right on!! I've been clean sine February '04. Pretty sure I'll always be an addict though, however long it's been! Nice to "meet" you. :)
