All right, the payback meme

[hobgoblinn]

Yeah, you know the drill. I did this meme several months ago, but recently new friends sucked me in while I was diligently not working on my novel.

Reply to this entry and I will...

1. Tell you why I friended you (if I can remember, that is).
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4.Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LJ. (recent meme-ists are exempt)

If you have my response from a previous version of this, it might be entertaining to see if my recollections have changed. Old Age does that to one, or so I am told.

5. In spring of 1989, I started dating a guy who was a Mac engineer at a business software company. Early in the relationship, he warned me he was headed to California someday. I said great, let me know when to pack. Sure enough, Apple brought us out in '92 and we got married in either '95 or '96. I really need to remember which before our next anniversary. Yes, I come back somewhat regularly because both of our families still live there.
I started using nemain as a login for the unix at UC when my friend studied in CCM's broadcasting division and wound up in charge of their honking big unix system. Nemain is one of the Celtic battlefield goddesses- part of the Macha. Specifically, she's the goddess of chaos and panic, which was pretty fitting for me during my college years. (late eighties) Nemaihne is an off-the-cuff misspelling of nemain. I made it up over a decade ago when I couldn't remember my Yahoo password for nemain and I was giving random false information for all online accounts so there was no way to recover it. For some reason nemaihne stuck and I tend to use it now, which is fortunate because nemain has since become the name of a heavy metal band and I'm not a fan.

I only have one userpic because I only need one userpic. Probably says something about my personality, huh? ;)

goddess of chaos and panic?? That's wonderful. I love it.

Let me know next time you're in the neighborhood, as it were. Sadly, with gas and plane ticket prices being what they are, I don't get to my hometown much at all, so I'm usually here for the holidays. I'm sure we can find some neutral location somewhere in the area.

Neutral location?

Bwah-hah-hah. My brother's family lives in Batavia, my father in Cold Springs, everyone on my husband's side lives in Harrison, and almost all of our old friends have congregated north of the city. When I'm back, I think I spend half of my trip in the rental car.

So, what I meant to finish with was: 'Don't worry. I can certainly find my way to KY when I get back next.' ;)

Hee! yes, indeed. I know where all those places are. I'll look forward to a meet up eventually. I met nwhepcat over the labor day weekend, and it was very, very cool. Have you been following her latest serial? She is amazing. I want to be like her when I grow up. Except, you know, the growing up part....
