First batch of
poll answers - I'm hoping for more:
surrdave - a bag of chocolate kisses and a sappy card. I left them for ACat to find after my first visit down here. :)
sdorn - A couple reasons, actually - my name means smiling one in Greek, plus I have a habit in social situations of becoming invisible if I'm unsure or uncomfortable. A friend suggested that nick as an alternate to Kitanzi, and found the picture which I later resized as an icon.
browngirl - On top, yes. *G*
nrivkis - Yes. :) Dunno if anything will actually come of it, though. Waiting is.
drishnak - Doesn't that depend on how pickled *Peter* is?
tigerbright - Nope, my loss. I think I would have been far better off if I *HAD*, but I was pretty much a mess back then. I suspect it would have had a bad ending, and that would be a shame for right now.
delennara - Oh yes, most of my life. My parents both kept cats, when they were together and when apart. I think right now is one of the only two or three times I haven't had a cat living in the household, if I'm remembering rightly. I've had/lived with siamese, himalayan, calico, tortiseshell, short hair tabby, and unidentifiable mixes, both short and long haired. I don't think I could pick a favorite, but I took Kitanzi as a handle when the cat I named that disappeared. *shrug*
folkmew - That's a hard one. I'm really not sure! I read a LOT, and not always very discriminately, so it's hard to say what writers affected my own writing. For lyrics, I can't write music so by definition I swipe other folks' tunes to filk, and their lyrics naturally help form mine. Of that, I think the best I've done is When We Go, to the Dave and Tracy tune When I Go. Does that count?
