OOC: meme!

(OOC: meme from
beetiger).
Perplexingly, it seems that my journal is not entirely private. Fortunately, most of the people -- you people -- who can read it are far away from Vheshrame, and I suspect that some of you are not prime.
In any case, you know all about me. Perhaps you would be so kind as to tell me something about yourself?

Date: 2003-12-15 01:33 pm (UTC)More seriously, yes, I am of a species that I believe you would call a monster, but a well-behaved one. I am extremely fond of chocolate, clementines, tea, and cats, and could probably eat Chinese food three meals a day indefinitely.

Further investigation showed that it told *everyone* they should be a bonstable, and I was forced to scrap the whole idea.

I like chocolate ice cream.
I can't remember what my natural hair color is.

Date: 2003-12-15 02:48 pm (UTC)I am a traveller, an itinerant, a fixer of unconsidered trifles that are wrecking the desert, a doer of hidden deeds, a hacker of raw data and a pacifier of wild clients.
I have shed tears for the passing of great birds, flying higher and faster than others these beautiful creatures touched my soul ... and one of these birds now rests near you, floating on a river.
I am married, though having no attachment; I am single, though attached.
Oft I write verses;
Though syllabic rules sometimes
leaves them sounding in..

Something about me? Well...I am...
Date: 2003-12-15 03:21 pm (UTC)As befitting one of my nature, I serve my government as a communications engineer in the US Navy. I have been to sea for five of this planet's rotations around our sun, and am now enjoying the privelidges of serving on a "shore-based" station, which is far more stable than being on a ship at sea. I have been enjoying this "shore station" for three of this planet's revolutions around our sun.
I am currently residing on the third major island in the chain, known as Oahu. The town in which I call home is named Wahiawa, which in the tongue of the original inhabitants meant "Place of Thunder", and it was the favored residence of ancient royalty. The air is cool and pleasant, the growth of the mountains lush and the bounty of the soil rich and plentiful.
The people living here are the same as people anywhere I suppose...some are nice, some not so nice. I seem to get along with most, if not all of them.
I do not know what it means to be Prime, so I cannot say weather I am or not.
Since my joining my government's military services, I have been to the Mid East and caught oil smugglers, and chased internationally wanted criminal vessels to the very edge of international incident off Iranian territorial waters. I have shopped in the gold and spice souks of Dubai and enjoyed the hospitality of taxi drivers.
I've hiked the jungles of Thailand on foot and ridden the Outback of Australia on horseback. Hired my own motorboat up the waterways of Burrard Inlet in Vancouver and felt the sting of fresh snow on my face skiing down the slopes of Portillo in Santiago, Chile.
I have enjoyed the hospitality of the American Consulate in Suva, Fiji, and felt the Mana course through me as I raced the wind and rain on horseback on Rapa Nui, aka Easter Island. I've eaten the world of Asia at Lau Pa Sat and dined upon the fare of Europe in Antofagasta, Chile and Pattya Beach, Thailand.
I have traveled far, seen much, met many and STILL...
I know so very little and seek to know more. *grin*

Date: 2003-12-15 03:32 pm (UTC)I don't recall whether I actually got things like the roulette wheels to *work*, but I remember I had a lot of fun building it. I think my parents were a little creeped out, though...

Date: 2003-12-15 07:31 pm (UTC)I like Enchantment well enough, I suppose. I have some skill at it and a good deal of familial advantage in that regard.
But I do not think I will ever enjoy it as much as I do sketching and painting. Then again, perhaps if I were expected to draw as a career, it would not be fun, either.

Date: 2003-12-16 06:08 pm (UTC)I am currently a resident of the kingdom of Andor. If ever you have the opportunity to visit, I would gladly introduce you to the local powers and nobility! The hospitality of the palace is legendary, and I'm sure that you would find no end of pleasant and stimulating conversation with the local enchanters and workers of magic.
Like your lady Strenata, I am afraid that I am something of an adventurer. It's only a hobby, I assure you! Most of the time, I'm only a thief and gambler, which I'm sure you will agree are much more reputable professions.
Now that I think about it, I am also employed as a performing artist and acrobat in the Palace. For some time now, I have been forgetting to show up to work, and they have been forgetting to pay me. Tch. I suppose that I should do something about that before they think to remove my belongings from my room in the Palace.
Well met, again...
Date: 2003-12-19 08:16 am (UTC)You knew me then as Argynos, a Champion of my god, though I hate war and find it distasteful. Glory leaves a bitter taste in one's mouth, I've found.
