haha, Ali, my dear, my actual initials aren't GD -but you know that, I get exactly why you'd think of me, and it gives me warm fuzzies. <3

(116!)

Everyone who's anyone knows your actual initials are PG.

I was walking in the mall today past one of those "ingrave your name on a bunch of stuff" places and three of the examples were Will's (Ender1) name. Not just your first name - you full first name and last name.

It was weird. I'll try to get a pic next time I'm at the mall.

Why are you the sample??

Who is John Galt?

(I'm not really sure why; I guess because of the Randian conversations that have come up here, although this isn't the only place I've seen those.)

I shouldn't talk about it... but I'm really famous in Canada...

Now, is my last name spelled correctly? 80% of people never spell it right, even if I spell it for them.

I am now suddenly curious what your surname is.

I saw a bumper sticker with that on it. I got a kick out of it.

Tell. He's actually very old.

Spelled the same as on Facebook.

There's probably no need to say of whom this reminded me:

*laughs* Is there anything Wicket can't make better?

Postby **Eaquae Legit** » Thu Dec 02, 2010 1:34 am

Before I noticed Wicket, I was thinking of Kirsten...

starlooker · Postby **starlooker** » Thu Dec 02, 2010 5:18 am

Yeah, I totally thought of myself, too.

Reading "The Best of James Herriot" makes me think of Kimmie.

Petrie · Postby **Petrie** » Thu Dec 02, 2010 9:19 am

I saw that movie last year, I believe, but I couldn't remember; is that the same one that has Kirsten's cat-that-nobody-could-make-out avatar? I thought of her and Fred and whichever of those two has the cat named Cat.

This makes me really happy! I love James Herriot. (Of course.) Though, the model of the everything-to-everyone vet has largely fallen by the wayside (And I really can't complain because I really want nothing to do with cattle or horses, for example.)

starlooker · Postby **starlooker** » Thu Dec 02, 2010 10:47 am

Fred has the cat named Cat. As my location would indicate, I have largely foregone my identification with Ms. Golightly.

But yes, it's from Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Petra456 · Postby **Petra456** » Thu Dec 02, 2010 11:18 am

I miss Cat horribly, he was one of the best cats I have ever known. I do however have a cat named Lulamay now (I know, wrong spelling).

I am reminded of P-Web by pretty much anything to do with Canada, really. P-Web was pretty much the only place that I ever interacted with oop there, despite living in a state that (just barely) touches it for most of my life. But now I have several Canadian clients (who are kind of jerks, by the way) and whenever they do anything to remind me that they're Canadian, like use the letter u where it doesn't belong, or call parentheses "brackets", I'm like "Ha, I know some Canadians, and they aren't you, and they're pretty cool!"

I don't tell them that, though.

I held a 12 year old bearded dragon today! I couldn't help think about Nomi!

Postby **Luet** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 4:46 pm

Aww! Was it in your vet studies? Was he/she sick or healthy? If sick, what was wrong? So cool! Pheeny is 4.5yo and healthy as can be!

powerfulcheese04 · Postby **powerfulcheese04** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 7:00 pm

Yep! It was in a lab at school! Luckily, he was not ill. He's the pet of one of the technicians in the Zoo Medicine department who has a crazy number of reptile-y critters.

While discharging the outdoor bookdrop items, I came across this movie. I saw the gun first, then the crazy eyes, then the title. How could I not think of Satya? It made me, gave me no choice, really.

Postby **Luet** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 8:10 pm

That is too funny.

Postby **Eaquae Legit** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 4:41 pm

I have a cartographic history seminar to teach tomorrow, and the section on ancient Buddhist maps of the world and Buddhist cosmology reminds me of Satya.

Satya · Postby **Satya** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 8:21 pm

Guess I need to see that.

Postby **Eaquae Legit** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 7:12 pm

I learned something further about Buddhist cosmology and cycles of reincarnation. It was kind of neat. It also confirmed the "people are really not that different" thing, since the Buddhist and Christian maps (and the Aztec and Navajo and...) had little usefulness for geographical navigation, but were well-constructed for spiritual navigation. I can't remember the author, but it was all from a book called Maps: Finding our place in the world.

The steampunkish Jules Verne Google logo made me think of Linus and Rei.

I loved in particular how you could direct the view through the portholes

I'm working on an application for a conference/"summer school" and one of my first thoughts when looking up where it is on the map was "But if I go all the way out there, I want to go to the island Jayelle talked about that's governed by France!"

LOL

Awesome.

I was cutting out fake tattoos for work (I'm getting an influx of child clients, lately, and they're nice rewards) and I came across two awesome, awesome abstracty lizard tattoos that made me think of Nom. So I know have a red lizard fake tattoo on my forearm. (Long-sleeved shirt, so I'm the only one who knows it's there, but still.)

Postby **Luet** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:27 pm

Aww, I want one!

There's this ridiculously cute redhaired girl in my Social Dance class, always reminds me of Human.
They look like they could be sisters.

Don't say things like that, people will start to "ship" you. If they haven't already!
