Nobody likes you when you're dead

[venta]

A new sheep, as invented by cardinalsin:

In the future, scientists will be able to resurrect human beings - but not using DNA. Instead, they will rebuild you from the collective memories of people who know you.

So: Please post a comment describing one thing you know about me. Preferably something interesting, but factual. One day internet archaeologists will use this information to bring me back to life, so make sure what you say is accurate!

Oh yeah, then post this to your journal. Go on, you know you want to.

You have a marmite fetish.

Bzzzt.

[venta.livejournal.com]

Factually inaccurate.

Being something of a goth at times, you have several collars, at least one of which is an over the top, full neck one.

This was very useful when you were suffering from whiplash as it meant that you had something that was effectively a neckbrace but more fashionable to wear whilst on holiday

[stegzy.livejournal.com]

You are far too fond of that muck that goes by the name of "Marmite".

[venta.livejournal.com]

Are you in league (http://www.livejournal.com/users/venta/126215.html?thread=1755911#t1755911) with wimble ?

[sushidog.livejournal.com]

You are fond of fruit cake, even when it's just the slightly singed and misshapen bits that over-flowed in the oven.

(At least, I believe that was how we met? :-)

[venta.livejournal.com]

Er... er...
I don't think I remember that bit (though it's quite true, so maybe I've just forgotten). Where/when d'you think this happened ?

I think I met you at a joint party you and grahamb had in Cambridge 3ish years ago. I could believe I'd met you before that, though.

You believe that Christmas cake goes with Wensleydale and cannot be persuaded otherwise.

[lnr]

She's *right*.

[lnr]

You're really good at cats cradle.

[venta.livejournal.com]

Ye gods, where are people dragging these titbits out from ? How do you know that ?

Alright, if you insist

[wimble.livejournal.com]

You're ability to get out and have fun is only limited by your ability to keep track of it.

Alright, I admit, that's not a limiting factor either.

(contrast this with this)

You know all that can ever be known about music (listening/creating/vetting)..I've that on good authority, and your LJ music tastes seem to verify this.

[venta.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you :)
Sadly, I suspect there are people much better muscally educated than I am - but if I were to be resurrected as a musical fount-of-all-knowledge... well, I guess I'd cope :)

[marjory.livejournal.com]

You are too clever and disgraced the good name of Darlington by getting 666 grade A A-levels (or something like that...) :)

You like people who wear big black cardigans.

Is this what you want? I couldn't comment on your marmite proclivities...

[venta.livejournal.com]

You like people who wear big black cardigans.

I should make it clear this is not a causal relationship :)

[bateleur.livejournal.com]

You are a master of the art of leading an eclectic life. Due to finding far too many things interesting and/or entertaining, 168 hour weeks are nowhere near adequate to stuff in all the random things you get up to.

Roasting a whole camel is particularly notable amongst the list of things you aspire to but have yet to attempt.

[onebyone.livejournal.com]

But not as notable as putting a sofa in a tree.

On the basis of no knowledge at all about rapper, I have an interesting mental image of you with a sword (modelled on smiorgan's swords), wearing something like morris-dancing costume, with clogs on your feet. This mental image does have your face (taken from your LJ icon, since I see that far more often than I see your real face), but probably bears no other resemblance to what you actually look like ;-)

[venta.livejournal.com]

Wow, traditional fusion :)

My dancing clogs (which I don't wear for rapper, by the way), are bright purple with celtic knotwork all over them, if that helps.

My LJ-icon was recently described by a colleague as "some lens flare someone stuck a nose and eyes on".

You like avocado, even if you lack skill at ordering it in restaurants. You also like tomatoes and mozzarella but are rather more ept at acquiring these foodstuffs.

[mejoff.livejournal.com]

is 'ept' even a real word?

[cardinalsin.livejournal.com]

You always use song lyrics as a title for your LJ posts.

(it would appear I know very little about you, too - but now I know slightly more, albeit mostly frivolous details...)

[broadmeadow.livejournal.com]

Some random thoughts (and not just one like you asked for - I can't read):

. You like good music, and can be relied upon to provide a good recommendation.

. You are both intelligent and attractive. You are modest about both of these things. You don't much like having your picture taken.

. You have loads of friends. You are part of a very close family.

. You are not especially tidy.

. You eat weird stuff.

. You come from Yorkshire but you don't have a Yorkshire accent.

. You name inanimate objects.

. U txt, IM and blog. But you don't like to use a telephone if you can avoid it.

. You're being a bit brave in asking people to do this!

[venta.livejournal.com]

You come from Yorkshire but you don't have a Yorkshire accent.

Nah, I'm from County Durham :)

[leathellin.livejournal.com]

Your room has a pale green colour on the walls and you clearly need more bookshelf space.
And you once made a wonderful fairy tale princess.

And you once made a wonderful fairy tale princess.

Out of what?

[mejoff.livejournal.com]

you're better at cars than the AA

[lathany.livejournal.com]

venta is allergic to toddlers and copes well with cats (or was that the other way around?).

[eostar.livejournal.com]

Been beaten to the camel memory by bateleur. That was the first thing that came to mind ...

But I also remember you confessing on one occasion to being very bossy toward your teddy bears when you were little ;)

And you enjoy "proper" ale

[(Anonymous)]

You are stonkingly allergic to oranges

You do NOT come from Yorkshire

[broadmeadow.livejournal.com]

[assuming I am addressing Venta's mum:]

Um, yes - sorry about that rather apalling gaffe. I guess I have managed to upset the entire family in one fell swoop.

I shall be quizzing Venta ASAP to try to establish why I had it in mind she hails from the northernmost end of (ahem) Yorkshire, but I suspect my appalling grasp of geography is entirely to blame.
