Meme lineage:
mrlogic < vixyish < corivax < dakegra < ciciaye < rudestlink < [no specific attribution] Post anonymously, giving me three clues as to who you are. I will try to guess. (I won't check IP addresses.) I'll add my guesses to your comments, so you'll have to check back now and then. If I guess wrong, give me another clue. I'll continue until I get it or I give up in despair. I'll probably be hopelessly bad at this...if I don't know you half-decently, it might be good if your clues are either researchable, or if they offer me some smidgen of hope of coming up with the right answer. But if you're too obvious, it won't be any fun. On the other hand, post anything you like. What the heck.

I would probably qualify as a friend of 1_aga.
I know you from other than live journal.
I have not seen you recently but I will see you again.
To me they make perfect sence but they may be hard being so general…
My first guess…
…would be
Re: My first guess…
Incorrect.
1 clarrification in case it was not clear…
Based on your post earlier today “I would probably qualify as a friend of 1_aga.”
And for another clue, it is thanks to you that I am on livejournal.
Re: My first guess…
umm….nope 🙂
White sox.
Musicals.
AWOL.
At first I thought…
Chicago (White Sox), which made me contemplate who in Chicago I knew that liked musicals. Couldn’t place it…
Then I made a mental picture of “White Socks” (and if you’re reading my S&F board… no comments 😉
The mental picture made it easier, because that’s how I remember you…
My guess here is:
Re: At first I thought…
Gee, and I tell people I’m not easy. 😉
Re: At first I thought…
Darn, you’re gonna make me work at trying to seduce you, then 😉
hmmmmmmm…
I don’t live in California.
I have met you.
I have talked to you… on Messenger.
that narrows it down…
To about 200 people on my firends list. So… I’ll start with a wild stab.
umm, that leaves 199. More cluage :?)
Re: that narrows it down…
Nein.
Mass-ive clue….
We have the state bird of the Mosquito.
Only met in person once.
I watch the sun rise over the ocean.
I’m an abrupt little redhead.
I’m sooo old!
I’m going to go out on a limb here…
Clue one: East coast.. near the ocean.
Clue two: Red hair, below average height
Clue three: I don’t think you’re referring to yourself as much as a statement I used to make a lot when I was between 24 and 28.
I’m going to guess 🙂
Re: I’m going to go out on a limb here…
NOPE!!!
Another clue:
Your tea was a miracle!
Re: I’m going to go out on a limb here…
Eyes bugging out. I’m really not sure. I’m gonna have to call for clue #5 here!
Re: I’m going to go out on a limb here…
Thanks for the Mass.
Aha! (I think)
Aha!
I think the tea was to help the health of the adorable
Re: Aha! (I think)
Bingo!!!
Even though I try to be drama-free in my life, drama finds me and pops up with frightening regularity. I know you’ve personally witnessed some of that.
Who am I?
Oh, heavens…
I need far more than that 🙂 Hell, that could be most of the people I know… Including myself.
And it needs to be three statements…
A little more help here :?)
Re: Oh, heavens…
Okay, I guess I missed the “three clues” rule. Silly me for reading too fast.
I randomly express my emotions through odd noises (think Stitch).
Neither of us were on each others friends list prior to meeting in real life, though we’d communicated via this medium before that for specific purposes.
Re: Okay, this one…
I think is Because I remember coordinating via LJ and IM for the pre notocon get-together; before we met.
Re: Okay, this one…
I’ve been keeping the anonymous posts screened. I’ve been unscreening all of them. This is in the case one might pop up that would better fit in one of my filters.
This one that I’m going to not-unscreen I’ll mostly quote and then respond to:
No, that’s not me.
I was an unintentional xxxxxx to xxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxx xxxx.
I’m not sure if I should hate to admit it or revel in the fact, but there are more than one person on my friends list who can state this. (This why it’s more appropriate in one of my filter groups) If you’re currently friended and not on the filters see my administrivia positing
I’ll have to ask for another clue here.
Re: Okay, this one…
I am already part of the filter that would probably belong in.
Re: Okay, this one…
One of the worst things you could say to me is that I’m “overly sensitive.”
Re: Okay, this one…
Neither of us were on each others friends list prior to meeting in real life, though we’d communicated via this medium before that for specific purposes.
If that’d be the planning on for accomodations… That’d probably make you… . That and the suspicion that you were one of my mystery guests.
Though (and feel free to IM this if I’ve solved the quandry…), I don’t remember the filtered incident in question.
Re: Okay, this one…
Yes, that would be me. 🙂
No Joke!
You could be *me* for all of that. Um, to hell with it, wanna be me?
1 I had a Hamster, named Herbie when I was a child.
2 Om boor buvah suvaha, tat savatur, varenyum, vargo devasaya demahe, dee yo yo na pracho dyat. (phonetic)

Re: Hrrrmmmn,
no
5. My favorite opera (singspiel) is “Die Zauberflöte”
Re: Hrrrmmmn,
Next guess…
This one has really got my brain rolling
Re: Hrrrmmmn,
6. The Lion is my favorite animal
Utterly lost, I don’t even have a gender on you now…
Anything else that can help :?)
Re: Utterly lost, I don’t even have a gender on you now…
7. I am a sister.
Doh!
BUSKER! Now I think I remember…
Re: Doh!
~laughing~
You got me! That was a lot of fun. Thank you for posting such a diverting game. I thought for sure “busker” would have given me away long before. It is listed on my user info page. ~grin~
Well gosh who could that possibly be :?)
Re: Well gosh who could that possibly be :?)
*pppbtttttt* i didn’t think my clues were that easy!

1. I am adopted.
2. I am divorced.
3. I am a Leo.

Big guess
I think this would be someone in the crew of.. Right now, the best I’m coming up with is,
Re: Big guess
*ding!*
correct-o! =D
I stick out in a crowd
You think I have a Hebrew education
You’ve given me a very nice foot massage
My first guess…
.. albeit with my track record today, probably very wrong…
Re: My first guess…
Nope. I don’t stick out in a crowd, I have a hebrew education, and you’ve never given me a foot massage. 🙂
Re: My first guess…
Wow 3 for 3 wrong. But I did say I didn’t think I’d given you a foot massage. Well, if you want one next visit…
In the meantime.. definitely more clues.
Re: My first guess…
there’s only one of me
I whatched the Dr.Who spoof vidio at your old place
about a year ago
I have spent the nite at your place 3 times
( twice before Heather came along)
Re: My next guess…
how about
I have brown curly hair
I have beautiful brown eyes
I live with cats and fish.
See, I would call her hair straight…
… but at least one of the people with absolutely beautiful brown eyes and I know has cats and fish (for a fact) would be the ever lovely,
And if this isn’t her. I mean no disrespect to you 🙂
Re: See, I would call her hair straight…
No disrespect taken. 😉
I love horses.
Re: See, I would call her hair straight…
Curly brown hair, beautiful brown eyes, Fish, cats, loves horses…
I have no ideas, but eyes are a weakness and if your female and we’ve met, I’ve probably noticed them and wanted to hit on you. (Ahem) That said, as I’ve no idea who you are. I’ll wave a flag for another hit off the clue-pipe.
Re: See, I would call her hair straight…
we havn’t met.
I’ll continue this until you cry uncle. 😉
Tattoos, gearhead, never comments worth a shit but still reads. Oh, swears and gets pissed.
Well, I think I’ve got this down to 2
The problem is one of my picks I don’t know if he’s tatooed, the other.. I don’t know how much of a gearhead he is. So:
Gearhead… but I don’t know if he’s tatooed:
Tattooed… but I don’t know if he’s a gearhead:
Does this narrow my choices to 2, or have I got 2 wrong answers here?
Re: Well, I think I’ve got this down to 2
You got it right my friend. Gearhead and heavily tattooed.
Lives on the east coast.
Has known you in at least 3 different contexts.
Ice cubes.
Random guess…
The only east coaster who I can name (off the top of my head) with 3 phases of my life….
Though I don’t remember where ice cubes come into play.
Re: Random guess…
Nope.
To clarify, not 3 phases of your life, but at least 3 different contexts. And it should have actually been 4 since I didn’t think to include LiveJournal.
Would it be too much clue to list the contexts in which I’ve known you?
3 Contexts…
Well, someone who’s known me socially, as a Scadian, and as a director might be
If this isn’t right, maybe the contexts in question might not be to much. 🙂
Re: 3 Contexts…
Sorry about the delay – been away from the Interweb.
The three contexts are SCA, work, and House of Fuzziness. I’m sure you’ve got it now. *g*
You know…
“Ice cubes” alone feels like a memory job, but it’s not coming out.
The problem is that SCA + House of Fuzziness opens up a large number of people on my list, but then adding work really trims it down.
Re: You know…
My own memories of the past are a bit hazy so it’s hard to come up with additional clues (though that may be a clue in and of itself). The only other things I can really add are to narrow the SCA context specifically to Thursday night dance practice (which probably doesn’t help, but I seem to recall you were involved with more than just dance practice) and that the ice cube story is from SCA dance practice on a particularly hot Thursday.
Re: You know…
Wagh? I’m gonna definitely need some clues from the other contexts then. Wow!
Re: You know…
We worked together at Pitt and I’m friends with Amul.
Re: You know…
Let’s try going out on a limb:
Re: You know…
Dingdingding – you get teh cupie doll.
And here I thought the ice cube story was pretty infamous, too. There isn’t much to say about it other than it was me, one or two other dance rehearsal regulars, and a couple of ice cubes on a very hot Thursday. heh
1. We have chatted but never met.
2. I feel like I already know you.
3. I want to climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears’ Tower and look down to see people drying venison in the carpool lanes of some abandoned super highway.
Clue 3…
I’m going to take the hint from clue 3 to associate from Chicago.
So my first guess would be someone who’s heart is definitely settled there.
Re: Clue 3…
Dang too easy. And I thought I was so clever.
1. The Sun is roughly in the same east-west position for each of us. But, where you are, it appears somewhat further to the north.
2. For the purpose of presentation, you were the candidate.
3. You introduced me to your Sidekick.
Well actually…
… L.A. is farther east than I was prepared for. There are actually not 2 but 6 US state capitals west of our coastal city. See if you can guess those (if it is your will) then check here.
But I think I get what you’re suggesting. My read is that you’re pretty much very north of me. I’d say that puts you either in Oregon or Washington.
So clue 2, I think I figured out. But that now gives me a choice. If the presentation was at your house then it probably is. On the other hand if we both went to someone else’s house then I’d have to go with
Clue 3 is a wash. Had it been You didn’t introduce me to your sidekick that’d narrow it down 🙂
Another couple clues
OK you got #1.
#2 – it was not actually at any house, apartment, hotel, or other dwelling. Nor am I either of your guesses.
Replacement clue for #3:
Among blackberries and libertines, in white and yellow, I delivered a recitation of festivals and rites.
Re: Another couple clues
White and Yellow suggests that you may have Deaconed a Mass. I’m not sure about the blackberries and libertines. So… I’m gonna have to call for more clues 🙂
Hmm…..
#4: Conspired to trick-or-treat my LJ en masse, and I think I tricked you.
Ariche’s unofficial partner in crime…
I’m thinking
Bingo! 🙂 Whew I’m glad you got that because I was running out of ideas. (Blackberries and libertines, btw, was a reference to NOTOCON.)
Re: Another couple clues
Hee! That last clue could be a nice rhyme if you switched the colors around. 🙂
gearhead
swears like a stevedore
doesn’t live in LA
Hmmn, tricky.
I gotta start with my gut, but this could be anyone…
Granted, this could be someone in Glendale or Burbank trying to throw me off the path 😉

I am not on the West Coast.
I am chronologically younger than you are.

That being said:
Now that we’ve started with Michigan and Arizona, I’d like to draw another from that pool of ‘a few’ 🙂
Re: Hmmn, there are a few, but I’ll start with…
I will put a guess in:
Though I don’t know if she ever lived in Arizonza.
Re: Hmmn, there are a few, but I’ll start with…
Nope.
Next clue; While pagan…I am not OTO. But, many don’t know this…I am a priestess and legally defined cleric in my own right. And I am decended from a long line of pagans.
Re: Hmmn, there are a few, but I’ll start with…
Yigh. Well one guess was eliminated by it not being OTO.
Let’s try:
Re: Hmmn, there are a few, but I’ll start with…
Do you need more clues?
Re: Hmmn, there are a few, but I’ll start with…
probably 😉

When my family is all together, we have; six cats, one dog, two bettas, three kids and four adults.
Re: Hmmn, there are a few, but I’ll start with…
This would have to be the ever beautiful
So, why shouldn’t I go into an airport with you?
Re: Hmmn, there are a few, but I’ll start with…
I screwed myself and forgot to hit anonymous earlier…I tried to delete but I’m sure you got the email.
You finally caught me.
1. I like cocoa
2. I’ve known you by two names
3. You’ve never been to my home, but I’ve been to two of yours,
Cocoa, eh?
Even in lower case, I’m not gonna think chocolate here. And while #3 limits it down, #2 cuts that list to a VERY small number.
I’m gonna go with
Re: Cocoa, eh?
Bother. Too easy.
Re: My first guess…
I live on the east coast and I am currently having problems with my job.

Well okay… Let’s try then. He’s actually seen my Pgh house BEFORE house of Fuzz. (If he remembers)
Re: This would have to be one of the older burgh’ers
Hmm… I don’t think I’m on your friends list at the moment.
Re: This would have to be one of the older burgh’ers
Then I’ll definitely need more clues to narrow it down.
Re: This would have to be one of the older burgh’ers
long ago ma2c := CMU MUG

The infamous 7, the OTO, or APO. Now. The interesting thing is
sister: Not counting the one by blood, that’d be OTO. So the person would have to be APO and OTO.
A tech, but not computer. Mayhap something like theatre.Camped with me. SCA.. probably war.
APO + OTO + theatre tech + Pennsic = going round for a second shot :?)
