A meme, and Niamh's consumer griping

[wordinista]

Dear Barnes & Noble,

I hate you and your substandard manga section.

Love and kisses,
Niamh

PS: Your Tazo passionflower tea? Naaaaaasty.



Dear Anime Pavillion,

I hate you and your geektastic staff of unwashed fanboys who still seem to ignore those of us with breasts. Please hire more females, or men who know how to deal with three-dimensional women. We don't like standing at the counter, money in hand, waiting for the gang playing D&D at the back of the store to notice that we have something we'd like to buy. If this is your way of letting us know that shoplifting is acceptable, you should put up a sign.

Also, your store smells funny. Like someone's been smoking pot and trying to cover it up with incense.

Love and kisses,
Niamh

Bleh. Booksellers of America have decided to conspire against me. No luck on finding FB #8.

5. Lyrics to a song. -
I had a job, I had a girl,
I had something going mister in this world
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
Our love went bad, times got hard
Now I work down at the carwash, where all it ever does is rain
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train.
6. How old you are. - older than you
7. How long we've been friends. - A long time.

[merith.livejournal.com]

Yep, thought that might be the clue breaking hint. (or something like that.)

4. I frisked a bit in lechery.

I thought it might be too obvious if I did my usual love note~ *cues lounge music* Gure-san...

1. One secret. - I own all three Dixie Chicks albums. And I like them.

2. One compliment. - Your indignance at receiving substandard treatment because you have two X chromosomes is entertaining. And mildly arousing.

3. One random thing. - I just ate three Cadbury Creme Eggs.

4. One love note. - You get me in teh mode.

5. Lyrics to a song. -
When you pissed yourself in Frankfurt and got syph down in Cologne
And you heard the rattling death trains as you lay there all alone
Frank Ryan brought you whiskey in a brothel in Madrid
And you decked some fucking blackshirt who was curing all the Yids

6. How old you are. - Younger than you!

7. How long we've been friends. - Hm...a few months? Longer? I have no real sense of time.

8. And a hint to who you are. You know...the mode.

*curing -> cursing Damn s key.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

1. One secret:

The pope died two weeks ago. The Vatican has just been playing Weekend at Bernie's with his body since.

2. One compliment:

I honestly believe that you help me to be a better writer.

3. One random thing:

I just ate three plates of nachos. With peppers.

4. One love note:

Dear TEH BUNNEH,

As I watch you through the window, sitting at your computer and reading this, I wonder what you're wearing underneath your clothes...

Love,

Your Stalker

5. Lyrics to a song:

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

6. How old you are:

I got mistaken for 18 three days ago.

7. How long we've been friends:

Are we friends?

8. And a hint to who you are:

"They say the lady is fair; 'tis a
truth, I can bear them witness; and virtuous; 'tis
so, I cannot reprove it; and wise, but for loving
me; by my troth, it is no addition to her wit, nor
no great argument of her folly, for I will be
horribly in love with her."

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

...The last hint makes me think it's Es?

[white-death.livejournal.com]

'twas!
XD

1. I used to bite my nails.

2. You are one of few people within the IY fandom who has common sense.

3. It’s windy outside.

4. Love note.

5. Hey your glass is empty
it's a hell of a long way home
why don't you let me take you
it's no good to go alone
I never would have opened up
but you seemed so real to me
after all the bullshit I've heard
it's refreshing not to see
I don't have to pretend
she doesn't expect it from me


6. Old.

7. Eh, not long.

8. 50000

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Tsuki_Youkai!

(Fuck. I just remembered the thing about 50,000. The "surprise" was supposed to be a plushie, but as you can see, my local anime store blows goats. So between the hurricanes and my being ignored... You will get it. *crosses heart*)

[tx-tsuki.livejournal.com]

Dammit, I knew the 50000 would give it away. At least you have a local anime store.

Real life has been a bitch to you so I wasn't worried about a prize. You'll get to it when you get to it. And, I'll still be around. *grins*

1. I lost my passport in a move 4 apartments to go and I'm embarassed to tell my family about it because I didn't put it in the lock-box like they wanted me to.
2. You're one of the most intelligent, well-grounded people I've ever 'met' online.
3. There's a flash flood warning for the local metropolitan area tonight and tomorrow.
4. B natural.
5.
Well there's one thing
that I'll never forget
It's the beauty of a friendship
that's not over yet
I know how just one smile
can be planted like a seed
And I want to do that for somebody else
the way it was done for me

I want to have a little faith
there's something better at the end of this path
but these memories get old and flat like photographs

Oh, if we never meet again
if goodbyes remain unspoken
I will glorify our past
but our bond remains unbroken
if we never meet again

6. Younger than some, older than most.
7. I don't really know that we're friends now. I think you're pretty keen but we really don't chat or anything.
8. I'm thinking of going to the tea shop tomorrow.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Are you DQBunny? *feels like she's doing really badly at this meme*

[(Anonymous)]

Nope, sorry! :)

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Lystra? AKA: MsCongeniality? :D (The tea shop reference was like a lightbulb over my head. But I'll feel like a dunce if I'm wrong AGAIN.)

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

Yep, you got it! :)

I honestly wasn't sure what to use for a clue and figured the tea shop made just enough sense.

[(Anonymous)]

1. *puts stick of deodorant on Niamh's desk*

2. You are one of my favorite people ever.

3. The bitter almond smell of cyanide is not detectable by everyone.

4. I dreamt you while I slept and love
Meant more to me than life -- meant more than blood.
The sunlight sought me deep beneath my stone
More dead than any corpse, but still a dream
Until I woke as vapour into night
And sunset forced me out into the world.

5. Some boys kiss me
Some boys hug me
I think they're okay
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away
They can beg and plead but they can't see the light
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash is always Mr Right

6. As old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth.

7. In which life?

8. Oh, like you don't know already.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

EVVIE!!!!! *HUGS*

For the record, you're not too bad yourself.

[everstar3.livejournal.com]

Aw, shucks. :)

The love note is from "Vampire Sestina" by Neil Gaiman, in case you're wondering. I wonder if it feels very odd to be next to "Material Girl."

1) I have double jointed thumbs.
2) Among your many good qualities, you are an excellently helpful beta, and you write damn good OCs.

4)I want to have 10,000 of your explicit yuri scenes.

1. One secret.
I hate rabbits... I was bitten by one and think they are best served in a stew.

2. One compliment.
You fucking r0x0r5!!! Your eloquent and articulate smack downs have been the death to many a wank sessions.

3. One random thing.
Our cat is very dirty right now >_<

4. One love note.
If I had a million dollars, I'd buy some goons to "fix" the issue with financial aid services folks at the uni you're attending.

5. Lyrics to a song.
Heads of state who ride and wrangle
Who look at your face from more than one angle
Can cut you from their bloated budgets
Like sharpening knives through chicken McNuggets

6. How old you are.
I can't remember... Mommy!

7. How long we've been friends.
For a while. Well not long... No clue...

8. And a hint to who you are.

You're SAYA! THE DARK LEMON EXTORTIONIST! MWAAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

1. One secret.

I haven't showered since Friday.

2. One compliment.

I have yet to find someone as well rounded in character as you. No one can compare to the lovely mix of ability, charisma, intelligence and knowledge.

3. One random thing.

I ate an entire plate of cookies and a half gallon of milk.

4. One love note.

Dearest,

I dream of you as a dying man wishes for Heaven.

5. Lyrics to a song.

Pussy got bank in her pockets
Before she got dick in her drawers
If brother didn't have good 'n' plenty of his own
In love Pussy never did fall
And this fool named Trick wanna stick her
Uh, talkin' more shit than a bitch
'Bout how he gonna make Pussy a star
If she come and sing a lick on his hit
Pussy said "Nigga, U crazy if U don't know
Every woman in the world ain't a freak (Pussy)
You can go platinum four times
Still couldn't make what I make in a week (Pussy)
So push up on somebody that wanna hear that
Cuz this somebody here don't wanna know (Pussy)
Boy, you better act like you understand
When you roll with Pussy Control

6. How old are you.

Old enough to realize you're to be respected.

7. How long we've been friends.

Perhaps over a year.

8. A hint to who you are.

If you haven't gotten it by now, you'll probably get it in a few months.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Hrrm. This one's got me stumped, and I have it narrowed down to two possibilities.

Is it Aoi?

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, no!

I thought for sure the "few months later" comment would have reeled it in.

Keep guessing!

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

The last hint makes me think you're darth_snuggles, since we'll be in the "same neighborhood," so to speak, in a few months.

[hypocricy.livejournal.com]

No cigar, sweetheart.

Sorry!

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

AGH! You screwed me up! At first, I figured it was either Aoi or YOU. And then emphasizing that last hint got me all fouled up! *whangs head*
