Cthulu:
1. something random about you.
You’re a damn good writer. I’ve always loved your short stories.
2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
Try and drink Apfelkorn. I’m sure you’d like it.
3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
Green.
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
I love how you refer to your daughter as the Weenit. It’s SO adorable!!
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
For some reason I always think of that avatar you had with Edward Norton’s bloody mouth. It’s one of the clearest visuals I have.
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
A squid. Damn avatar again!
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
How the HELL did you survive tech support for so long, while you’re obviously so much more than that?
8. If I do this for you, it would be appreciated if you posted this on yours.
Would you post back here with the one you have for me?

Lannie, sure:
1. Something random about you.
You are far more dedicated to your writing than I am to mine :p
2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
You gave me an alcohol, I’ll give you one: Alexander Keith’s. Best beer in the world. Try to find it, if you can.
3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
For some odd reason, yellow comes to mind. Could be the blonde hair you’ve sported in the past, could be your association with the sun, could be anything.
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
You always seem to manage to find the fun in any situation. When you get going, you tend to cheer me up.
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
Wow… probably the rainbow hat.
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
A cat. Likely, a combination of the sun-worship, playfulness, and intelligence that you exhibit.
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
I honestly can’t think of anything. If I want to know something, I usually ask it right away, than hang onto it.
8. If I do this for you, it would be appreciated if you posted this on yours.
Irrelevant, at this point :p

Kat:
1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
- You’re not a camping person, because camping life starts way too early for your comfort
2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
Try beating “Six” on guitar hero in expert mode.
*laughs evilly*
3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
-Blue
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
- I like your laugh. It’s so sudden when it comes, and it always cheers me up to hear you laugh.
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
- First memory: a chat regarding nightmares in 2003. First visual memory: that hug on Schiphol – you spotted me before I saw you. And clearest memory: a picnic on the shell beach with ame wine and croissants.
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
It’s the name!
- a cat. Sorry
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
- I don’t know if I asked already, but now that you’ve been here for nearly two years: do you like life here better than what you might have had over there?
8. If I do this for you, it would be appreciated if you posted this on yours.

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
- I like your spunk and your humour.
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
- First meeting: Our meeting in the train. And, later that day, our discovery of our mutual love for the Gathering, and that we decided to go see them as soon as the opportunity would arise. Little did we know that it was the week thereafter…
- Clearest memory: in a cabrio Peugeot, on the highway, singing along with Rammstein and the sun shining down on us. I’m sure you remember that day too.
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
- A lion. Duh!!
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.

Olli: (okay, this is weird… haha)
1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
- You’re a bed-hogger, prone to lying diagonal through our bed. You need two hours to wake up in the morning, but if there’s no stress involved, you do not have a morning temper. You’re a sweetheart. You give the sweetest kisses and hugs in the world. You can be a real asshole. You’re the funniest person I know. I love you to pieces. Is that random?
2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
- Try and answer these questions for me, Olli!!
3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
- Dark green. Probably because you usually wear earth tones?
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
- Oh, the list is unending. Mostly, it’s your humour, intelligence, wit, and your sweetness.
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
- Atheneum 3, 1994, math class. “So like, are you any good at maths?” I asked.
You looked at me with big blue eyes. “No, you?”
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
- A lion, too. But mostly the lion as it is in the Kenya song.
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
- What do YOU think is ‘our song’? Couples usually are supposed to have a song together, but I can’t hink of any. What do you think?
8. If I do this for you, it would be appreciated if you posted this on yours.

1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
- At Werchter 2003, you had a salamander henna tattoo put on your arm that you called Chris Martin.
2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
- Try to have lunch with me! I’m in Rotterdam four days a week. I’ll be sure to drop you a line through Hyves
3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
- Lightblue/babyblue.
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
- Even though you are the worrying/overanalysing type, you do know how to enjoy yourself thoroughly. Good for you!
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
See number one. Strange, how you can remember such things! Also, the picture that Olli took of you at Amstel Station.
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
- A deer. It’s probably because of your big brown eyes.
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
- Will you and Matthijs marry at some point?
8. If I do this for you, it would be appreciated if you posted this on yours.

Danielle:
1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
- You’re a better writer than you think!
2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
- Try going to Lowlands this year! We’ll probably be going, too
3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
- Dark brown. While that does not sound very appealing at first thought, it’s also the colour of chocolate
I couldn’t tell you why, though. This whole colour thing is very intuitive.
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
- You’re a total sweetheart. Even when your friend (S) can be a total bitch, you stick with her. Such loyalty is very rare.
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
- You, sitting at the Florin pub, just raking your hand through your hair. I don’t even know what Nano meet it was, I think the last one. For some reason that image sticks.
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
- A bird. (don’t ask me why!) It would be a bigger one, though, one that’s not very scared.
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
- Will you ever write in english or will you stick to dutch?
8. If I do this for you, it would be appreciated if you posted this on yours.

Perine:
1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
- You like beer.
2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
- Pff that’s hard! You’re an adventuring type, I can’t think of anything to challenge you with.
3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
- Red, the colour of your hair.
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
- You’re funny, sweet, and a damn attractive young woman.
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
- That picture we took in the Hoorn harbour together, on the euromeet in 2005. For some reason that image sticks.
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
- A spider. Not because it’s you, but because of the tattoo that you have.
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
- Ack, don’t know if I can ask that here in public, so I’ll keep it vague. But you kissed someone in my apartment in Hoorn. Was he a good kisser?
8. If I do this for you, it would be appreciated if you posted this on yours.

Annemieke:
1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
- I think it’s SO cool that you can ride a motorcycle
2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
- I challenge you to a blindfolded liquor tasting test. Because Hooghoudt is not the best one out there. Berentzen is better! .;-)
3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
- I’d be inclined to say blue, but it has to be yellow. See number 5 for the reason.
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
- When you’re relaxed and in your element, you’re a bit of sunshine to be around.
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
- My clearest memory of you is borrowing you my yellow shirt and necklace during my bachelorette and deciding it looked better on you. You, my dear, were radiant that night.
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
- A kitten.
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
- So what did it feel like to have a men luxury problem all at once, last year it was? I so remember you pouting that you had no interesting men in your life, and then they all but fell over one another. How did it feel?
8. If I do this for you, it would be appreciated if you posted this on yours.

Lya:
1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
You know, you’re damn efficient in getting yourself ready in the morning when you wake up and you have to go somewhere. You do that so fast! It’s always amazed me.
2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
- You know what we should do sometimes? Just go away for the weekend, the two of us. To a spa or something like that. That’d be great
3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
-Bluegreen. Like aquamarine.
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
-Your warmth, your genuine interest in people, your loyalty and the way we often can guess eachother’s thoughts.
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
-My first memory was you getting out of your car in Amsterdam, and me telling you that it was great you were here and how much fun we’d have. We were going to have dinner with Aurelie.
-Clearest memory has to be a tossup between the shooting stars over the lake, and plotting for Cranna on my balcony in September 2003.
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
- A cat. Because you’re such a cat-lover.
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
- In hindsight, do you feel that something has changed between us since our argument in the summer of 05 (shit, has it been two years already?). And if so, how?
8. If I do this for you, it would be appreciated if you posted this on yours.

Before I do the whole meme thing now, I’ll answer that question you asked me at nr 7.
The answer is yes, but not necessarily in a bad way. I think I had you way too high on a pedestal than any normal human being deserves
. When you came off it, you turned into a person with great sides and flaws alike, and I think that is a lot healthier.
20 Lyanna said this (31/5/2007 at 11:04 am)

22 Devlyn said this (31/5/2007 at 12:22 pm)
Question answer: How vague a question that was btw, but the answer is: yes, I think so. Though as alcohol had it’s part my memory tends to fail me.

Devlyn:
1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
- You tend to get VERY incoherent when inebriated; more so than people usually get.
2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
- Hmm a challenge… you’re usually very quick to try new things (even if they are a bit odd) so challenging is a bit hard. I’ll just challenge you to be befriended to me for the next fifty years
3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
- Green, because of your last name.
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
- You’re such a sweetheart. You are also extremely loyal and dependable.
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
- My clearest memory of you is on the beach, oddly enough. It was on the day of the beach party and totally clouded and the water was damn cold and my bikini top was malfunctioning so I tied it around my wrist as we played catch with a ball.
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
- A puppy. For the cuteness factor!
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
- Do you feel I’ve changed a lot in the past seven years that we know one another? And if so, in what ways? And is that a good or a bad thing?

25 Aurora said this (1/6/2007 at 9:48 pm)
@Aurora:
1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
The first random thing that comes to mind is how much of a Japanophile you are. Anime, the country, the films, the culture.
2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
I don’t know you very well, but you seem like someone who keeps himself under control at all times, who is always on top of things. I’d like to challenge you to let loose, run with things and see where you end up. Not that being in control is a bad thing, but it might be an interesting thing for you to experience.
3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
Silver grey.
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
You have a genuine interest in the world around you, and you have a keen eye on it. I think you have the l33t powers of observation, which is cool.
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
I can’t even remember clearly when we met, it must have been in Delft on one of Lya’s birthdays, I guess. At that point I’d already heard a lot about you, so things are blurring a bit.
Clearest memory: you and Annemieke sitting together on Lya’s couch in Breda in the morning sunlight after her birthday — was it her birthday?
The other one is in Delft, some morning after one of Lya’s parties, when you showed me anime music video’s on your laptop.
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
Something fluffy. A cat, I think.
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
If true love would knock on your door tomorrow, would you be ready to embrace it?
(this is a philosophical one! I’d be more than willing to embellish on stuff. I hope it’s not too direct or too much in-your-face)

1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
- During Pinkpop you never spoke once about your job, even though we hung out and chattered for 4 days straight.
2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
- If you challenge me to befriend you for the next 50 years, then I’ll challenge you to not die on me for the next 50 years. Should be doable eh?
3. I’ll pick a color that I associate with you.
- purple. A struggle between the fiery passion of red and the stable calmness of blue.
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
- Your flexibility. When you judged someone wrong or made a wrong decision in your life or job, you tend to shrug it off and switch very easily.
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
- My clearest memory of you was when we were sitting on my own bed. I have no clue what we exactly talked about, but I do know that we made it all the way to 3 am with just some chattering and booze.I’m not sure how long ago it was (2003 perhaps?).
6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
.
- A squirrel. Always busy, always exploring, preparing and for some reason I think the furry quality of a squirrel relates to you
7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
- Do you still feel as much ‘out of the loop’ as you did ~3 years ago?
7.yours. Do you feel I’ve changed a lot in the past seven years that we know one another? And if so, in what ways? And is that a good or a bad thing?
). In the old days we haplessly partied, did stuff and said everything to everyone. It had plenty of good sides, but we also did a lot of damage with it in retrospect, I think. In addition, when I got to know you in 2000 you were the center of attention universe, with plenty of people talking with and about you. That changed somewhat I think when you got a full-time job a couple years ago, and due to that you changed a great deal. At least, I am seeing wholly different sides of you nowadays.
- Long message alert!
Most definitely. Like most of us, you got more moderated and a bit more reserved (oh wait, you actually grew up more
And I think it’s a good thing, I’ve been in the center of attention myself at some point, but frankly it’s not a lot of fun when you feel pressured all the time to be PC and diplomatic. I think we’re better off with nobody in the center of attention
.

Aaaw, that was so sweet!
I’m not sure about Lowlands, since I probably messed up yesterdays exam and I think the resit is on the first day of Lowlands (and besides that, Sophie is going too
) but I’ll give it a thought!
As for the question: I really don’t know. My goal for last years Nano was to write in English, but in the end I clearly didn’t do it
I think it’s mostly because writing in English makes me worry about the grammar so much, and the worrying won’t do the writing any good.
Maybe I’ll try it in 2008/2009, when I’ll (hopefully) be in Great Britain.. but we’ll see.
