"Been So Many Places I Can't Remember Where or When..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Write 20 random facts about yourself then tag the same amount of people as minutes it takes you to write the facts.

1. I am the shortest person I know, and I have never met a person who did not think Waen was my older sister.
2. I got vitamin B poisoning once!
3. When I was a small child, I did numerous dreadful things to myself, including impaling my head on a long-spined cactus, eating poisonous mushrooms in the backyard, and splitting my forehead open on a coffee table; and nearly drowning in both the fishpond and the swimming pool of a friend of Mum.
4. I have 'Florian/Zara' written on my hand and outlined in hearts right now, possibly an indication that I am taking this all much, much too far.
5. I have never read 1984, but I have read Clergyman's Daughter and Down and Out in Paris and London, which is, by the way, the most annoying book I have ever in fact read.
6. I used to sit in the hall at midnight and write letters to the ghosts who lived there. Mostly I told them about school and how I ought to be asleep right now.
7. I once wrote a Watership Down Mary-Sue, or, to be precise, four Watership Down Mary-Sues.
8. It took eight years of getting thrown from horses before I finally realised I don't like them.
9. I have sproinged erinpuff's curls.
10. I swam in a hot spring in Iceland, and, being bored, started singing 'C'est La Faute a Voltaire'; at which point a French gentleman who was bathing behind me somewhere starting laughing at me and singing along.
11. My hobby is finding bad adaptations of Jekyll and Hyde to watch. <3 Lor'.
12. I am a terrible, terrible drama-whore.
13. I refuse to throw anything away.
14. Ahem. Zara, I still haven't been introduced to Jane.
15. I have made my Mum promise that if I die, she will make a post to my LJ explaining the fact, and am in the process of writing instructions so that she knows how to make said post.
16. I only cheated on one test in school, and it was partly by accident, and I was so distraught I came home and cried all over my Da'.
17. When I get letters, sometimes I keep them for two or three days without opening them, just being so excited that there is a letter that I have to wait a while before I can see what's inside. This is why I sometimes appear to get mail on Sundays, and why it sometimes seems like something is taking an awfully long time to get to me.
18. I cannot write this fic, which is why I am doing this meme.
19. I have never, ever, ever had a dream with Waen in it, and she says she has never had a dream with me in it; but we both dream of Mum. Mum, in turn, has nightmares about us lots.
20. I fall in and out of love like Jean Prouvaire.

I shall be fashionable and not tag, either. La!

1. I am the shortest person I know, and I have never met a person who did not think Waen was my older sister.

I know people shorter (grown-up people, even!). And *I* didn't think Waen was your older sister, but that may be because I knew she wasn't before I met you two in person.

9. I have sproinged erinpuff's curls.

And that makes you special. :-D

11. My hobby is finding bad adaptations of Jekyll and Hyde to watch. <3 Lor'.

You still need to see the dreadful video of the musical. Bwahaha.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oooh, really? Also, you knew she wasn't ahead of time. I should clarify: anyone not previously informed of the fact that I am older.

^__________^!

I desperately would like to. Oooooh...!

Also, *hides* the CDs are still not working. I'm so many kinds of sorry.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

I'm shorter than you. Do I not count? ;___;

And you've now been introduced!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

My bad, you're shorter. :P All right, usually the shortest person I know.

^___________^!!

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

XD I win at short! Also, I forgot to point out that Olivier!Horatio was taller than Olivier!Hamlet. That amused me.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

...He SO WAS. XD

[bewareofitalics]

1. Um. Me? ;) And I know at least two people shorter than me. Not counting my grandmothers, who are only shorter than me because they've shrunk.
6. That is so cute.
10. As is that. Yay random French people who know Les Mis!

[bewareofitalics]

(Also, wanna make Viola and Sebastian switch bodies, if the body-switching day should ever come to pass? Viola's typist likes the idea! And it would thoroughly confuse poor Olivia!)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

(XD Sure.)

[bewareofitalics]

Woohoo!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

You don't count, you're in Massachusetts.
^_^;;;
I was rather exceptionally pleased and embarrassed. He said they sing that song in France a lot.

[bewareofitalics]

Oh, fine, discriminate against me because I'm in a state where I'm legally a midget! (Or at least that's why my driver's ed teacher told me a few years ago...)

That's absolutely wonderful.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

:P :P :P :P (...That was cruel).

I knowwww! ^___^

[bewareofitalics]

(Nah, not cruel. I think I was complaining about being short, and she asked how short, and I told her, and she said something like, "That's so cool! In Massachusetts, you're legally a midget! You can get handicapped parking spots and stuff!")

#4: *giggles* Oh, Lordy.

#10: That is AWESOME.

#15: ^_^ You're so sensible. Mind you, she'd better not have to.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Er, yes. Well. I have nothing to say in my defence, actually...

It was pretty brilliant, although I think I was melting with embarrassed at the time. Omg my LM geekery paid off in a hot spring in Iceland.

Thank you. Well, I hope not, but considering how accident-prone I am...

[fish-bananas.livejournal.com]

Wow, do you know, I think about #15 all the time too. XD Except she doesn't know about my LJ, because she'd probably kill me if she knew, and if she killed me, what would the LJ post explaining my death look like? "DEAR FRIENDSLIST. WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT WE HAVE DONE AWAY WITH THE OWNER OF THIS JOURNAL. SINCERELY, THE ROYAL PLURAL." And then it would not be pretty, I think. But how did I get here? I'm rambling. XD

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Really? I just worry that if I died, I'd have a huge flist who wouldn't know what had happened to me, and I wouldn't want to worry anybody, so I'd want people to know--I'm not sure that entirely made sense, but.

*flails* Ohdear. I keep forgetting that everybody's parents aren't like my Mum, who not only knows about my LJ but also knows all of my friends by reputation, and where they live (usually) and why we're friends. ^^;;;;

[fish-bananas.livejournal.com]

That's precisely it! So I've been wondering if I ought to have some sort of automated program or you know, anything like that. XD But I suppose she'd look through my computer if I died, since that's where my life is, and you can't really look through my computer and not notice DF and LJ in general, so... XD Or, you know, the friendslist could just decide that I packed up and left for somewhere without warning. And eventually it'd be forgotten, maybe that would be better than a death notice...

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

That's curious. Do you think you can get an automated programme? That would be--really very useful-- Perhaps you could make a file that explains how, and then she wouldn't see it until after you were dead--

Don't die, Miss Fish.

No, I'd want a death notice. Then I could give you flowers (sweets to the sweet).

[fish-bananas.livejournal.com]

I won't die. I promised to live forever. >:D

Flowers will bloom in the wild, there's no need for you to pick them. Leave them rooted -- and maybe, one day, simply dedicate them to me. I'll dedicate the miles of cosmos flowers along the road in front of our school to you.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Good.

Cosmos for Soujin! You have cosmos! Brilliant. Cosmos are beautiful. But I shall dedicate the violets to you, and the bachelor's buttons.

[fish-bananas.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, bachelor's buttons...! :D :D :D And violets! They're called 'swallowflowers' in Korean, I think. Hurrah -- >:D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

That's beautiful. That's utterly beautiful. *squees softly*

[lasucette.livejournal.com]

Dear Soujin,

1. I don't know your exact height, but I am five foot one and sadly, done growing. My sister is three inches taller than me and not. Also that number of years younger than me.

Once this lady at the airport asked for "the seventeen year old's ID" and when I started digging in my purse, she started laughing and explaining (needlessy) between guffaws that she thought I was the fourteen year old, etc. etc.

Love, Fleur.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Five-foot-one here. Do not think I will get any taller. Sister one year younger and about four inches taller. Pah.

Oh, Lord. *clings* Oh, awful. Dreadful woman.

[erinpuff]

Oh, we're the same height. I'd forgotten. All I remember about how tall you are from when we met was that I was glad you weren't taller than me. ;-)

My brother is taller, but he's a guy. My sister is only shorter because she's nine. She'll be taller than me when she grows up.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's right! ^_^ Yes, I was pleased about that, too. Tall people make me rather nervous.

Nyeh. Sisters are evil that way.

[entanglement.livejournal.com]

You're seriously one of the coolest people I've ever met! ;)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*giggles* That's what you think after reading that list?

[little-lady-d.livejournal.com]

if you do die, can me and ros come to your funeral? we promise we'll behave ourselves. well, i promise i'll behave myself.

...

... love you. XD

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course! I should hope you would there...! It would make me feel a lot better about the box.

...No, there will be no box. I shall be cremated.

...I love you too. *cling*
