I like this meme:

Comment here. I will try and dig out my favourite memory of each commenter, or make something up if I can't figure out who you are/haven't ever met you IRL.

I shall, however, have rather limited Internet access for the next week or so (until the 30th), so I may be slow to reply. (Going to Lincolnshire to spend Christmas with tienelle and family, then to visit my family.)

Also, I should be packing. This is obvious from my muchness of spodding and not very muchness of packing.

Comments

No! No packing! Say a nice thing about me, possibly invented.

As I have yet to make your acquaintance in real life, I shall have to leave you with the pseudo-memory of that time I came to steal the large black furry melon on legs that occasionally pesters your house, and you woke up to the sounds of agonized yowling when Savage Gordon had decided to investigate...

Aw how lovely, the Fat Cat seems to have stopped coming recently (he has been replaced by a shy tabby) but I'm glad he lives on in your "memory" :D

I don't know, I'm spodding a lot, and not packing, and I'm putting off work. Only tonight will I spod a lot and not pack and be putting off packing :)

Neutronium kittens.

Thanks. We *have* to make that a catchphrase.

[phlebas.livejournal.com]

Go on then.

[chess]

Actually, my favourite memory of you is an online one - your 'yay, Haylar!' comments whenever I managed to get another webcomic out.

[marnanel.livejournal.com]

Oo, go on.

[chess]

Mm, that's difficult; probably when I was getting ready to leave XF one year, and you were wandering around upstairs looking slighlty dazed in just a towel.

Comma, comma, comma, comment-com-com.

[chess]

Definitely when I was being stressed for no good reason and you came and gave me hot chocolate and hugs.

[darnn.livejournal.com]

Awesome.

[chess]

The kittens-eating-toes usericons. They still give me nightmares from time to time.

[darnn.livejournal.com]

Ha! But they're adorable! Kittens AND toes! How can that be wrong!

[mdavison.livejournal.com]

Go on then.

[chess]

We were walking back from Newnham, I think, and you said that it was midnight, and you were eighteen, and that everything seemed to have just shifted for the better.

[rochvelleth.livejournal.com]

Do me, do me!

[chess]

It occurs to me that I don't actually know you very well, but I'm not sure that anyone does.

The time I met you at a CUWoCS meeting in the Castle comes to mind, although I couldn't say why.

Have a good Christmas

[chess]

When you'd stayed over at Oblivion one night and then I showed up the next day and everyone just sat around talking for hours.

Whilst I might possibly have met/seen you at DWCon, my only actual memory of you is when we met in marble's house (or more accurately, the train station). I actually remember the bit at the train station (as opposed to having memories replaced by photographs), so I'll go with that.

Meow?

[king-of-wrong.livejournal.com]

Just to make life difficult ;-)

Have a good Christmas!

[chess]

I remember meeting you in Cockroft and having no idea who you were, but being happy that someone would help me out with these wretched Java ticks anyhow.

[foreverdirt.livejournal.com]

Make something up! Make something up!

[dr-vannacutt.livejournal.com]

I hope you have a fave moment of me? ;-)

This comment intentionally left boring

[passage.livejournal.com]

Personally I think you should have required something amusing in the comment; demanding flattery, or an instance of some suitably groan worthy joke (like a Tom Swifty or Chicken-crossing road) would both have been promising options.

Incidently, baring people you've met only a couple of times how do you figure out your *favourite* memory? The only way I can see of working out it (baring having bizarrely recorded the information as going along for some unknown reason) would be to review every memory with the best so far (so find an ordering of the memories, then take 1, compare with 2, keep the highest, compare with 3 etc). That's an enourmous amount of mental effort! Just to figure out my favourite memory involving you would take like, all day.
