Re: From Tilis

Political chats don't really make me "happy", the way I see it, -- I think I'm drawn to them for obligation's and frustration's sake and frustration is the main thing that results from them for me.

I always tend to offer the minority opinion and it's difficult for me to see what I perceive as ignorance or stupidity or even plain bigotry and not react to it. Especially when there exist so many plain *twisted* attitudes either in Greece especially, or in the world at large...

*g* But yeah, Science fiction and fantasy can make me happy.

"Huh? Where am I posting? Who am I? Hellooooooooooooooooo..."

*g* Who are you? That's not a very well kept secret, given the title of your post, and the numerous answers that identify you precisely... ;-)

2. How long have you known me?

God, it's been a long time. Several years.

3. When and how did we first meet?

Gargoyles fandom. You had sent me reviews before and all was fine, and then you totally trashed a fic I did. I still remember "If anyone else had written it, I would give it 4 stars. But you wrote it and you can do better, so only 2 1/2."

4. What was your first impression?

"Owwww....and he's right." I mean, i couldn't even get mad, since you were *right*.

5. Do you still think that way about me now?

*lol* I still think you're too smart for my own good sometimes, if that's what you mean.

You are always there for you friends.

Tolkien. And trying to fanpush Tolkien.

9. What makes me sad?

Women.

Stupidity.

11. What reminds you of me?

Anythign Greek. And Gargoyles. And Tolkien.

12. If you could give me anything what would it be?

A hug. ^_^

13. How well do you know me?

Pretty well, I think.

14. When's the last time you saw me?

Alas, we've never actually met in real life. I'll have to rectify that some day.

15. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?

Nope.

16. Do you think I could kill someone?

Maybe if put on Battle Royale Island.

17. Describe me in one word.

SMART.

18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?

HArd to tell. I know we don't talk as much as we used to, but I blame myself or that.

19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?

Yes. You have in the past, after all.

20. Are you going to put this on your livejournal and see what I say about you?

*lol*

8. What makes me happy? - Tolkien. And trying to fanpush Tolkien.

*g* Very accurately spotted.

-"Alas, we've never actually met in real life. I'll have to rectify that some day."

*g* I would truly, truly *LOVE* to have you here and show you around. And hopefully not just for one day or two but for a whole week, atleast. The longer the merrier. :-)

-I know we don't talk as much as we used to, but I blame myself or that.

I really don't think you should -- last couple months I've been often busy and so forth and have hardly ever been in Instant Messenger and such...

One of these days, I *will* get to Greece, honestly I will. After all, I have week-long vacations three times a year now.

[katsaris.livejournal.com]

Other than (presumably) the one now on Christmas, when do your other week-long vacations occur, btw?

*g* And, ofcourse, let me know well in advance when you decide to come and visit. Purposes of planning and all. Can't show you Greek nightlife without first learning about where such Greek nightlife is taking place. ;-)

You'll have plenty of warning, don't worry. ;)
