Ten Things Meme

[frostfox]

Most of it is name dropping though!

1. Swam in Anne McCaffery's swimming pool.
2. Delivered Alan Garner's milk (and helped to milk the cows which supplied it too).
3. Had a tooth transplant.
4. Had a picture hung in The National Portrait Gallery.
5. Been filmed as an English Civil War Prostitute for The Royal Armories Museum.
6. Had Neil Gaiman declare that any concept of beauty not wide enough to encompass you is obviously flawed (swoon).
7. Poured chocolate vermicelli into Ian Bank's beard, causing him to choke on said chocolate sprinkles, nearly causing death of Scottish National Treasure.
8. Had Terry Pratchett, Bohemiancoast and Madeline Tyrell re-enact an entire Dutch fetish show on beer crates. And I have the photos (threat).
9. Stood at the pointy bit of The Flatiron building in the Tor offices.
10. (looks around for The Langford) Won a Hugo.

Sue, who has had an interesting 42 years.

I suspect you'll find a lot of us who have done 9. But 4 remains impressive, and Neil is absolutely right about 6.

Why thank you, number 6 is still the most flatteing complement I have ever had.

Numbers 4 and 10 are my proudest achivements. Particularly 10. Nothing will ever top that.

I am one of the many millions who has done 9. So are autopope and, rather obviously, pnh and tnh. I have yet to get anywhere near killing any of Scotland's literary treasures, though.

A Hugo is good! What for, if I may ask?

[frostfox.livejournal.com]

Fan art, of course, what else could I win for?!

[slovobooks.livejournal.com]

Must admit my unfortunate total ignorance of all this. I'll pay more attention to the Hugos next time. Where do you keep it?

[frostfox.livejournal.com]

On the music cabinet. It's very beautiful.

And it's MINE!

10. (looks around for The Langford) Won a Hugo.

But he doesn't count - he hasn't won A Hugo! {wink}

[frostfox.livejournal.com]

Very true. Good point.

interesting 42 years.

No way! You can't be 42. I thought you were like 35. Okay that was two years ago, but still...

[drplokta]

Actually, she's only 41 at present. She can't count and has to rely on me to keep track, as we're the same age (give or take a couple of months).

Thank you, Captain Pedantic.

Why, what a nice well brought up boy you are, you can make comments like that any time you want.

[mishalak.livejournal.com]

I have this thing where until proven otherwise I tend to think of people as either just a little older than me or a little younger. And these days my age seems to lag my actual age a bit.

And you appear in published several novels, I believe?

[frostfox.livejournal.com]

Well, Diana Wynn Jones seems to think that I am a secret mistress of the universe. I couldn't possibly comment.

And pTerry dragged me the entire length of a dealer's room to show me a statue of one of his characters (the opera singer one, forget the name) telling me smugly that he had described me and the sculptor had got me just right. Still not sure wether to be flattered or not. And Magrat wears my jewellry, but then pTerry is a magpie.

Don't *think* there are any others... looking over my shoulder nerviously.

Richard the Rampant has a spaceship named after him, now that's impressive.
