Best. Quiz. EVER!!

I'm not sure my results are very accurate. But just about everyone I know wants to take it, don't you?

What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?

Even some people you DON'T know - it's irresistible! Apparently I am doomed to sink in a mire. (As for the chicken fat - no comment!) :-)

Well, may I be the first to congratulate you on your ignominious demise!

And out of curiosity how did you stumble over here? Do we know someone in common? Or random link?

It was through [livejournal.com profile] mertuil's post regarding Afro-Celt Sound System. I'm a friend of [livejournal.com profile] ag_unicorn, and found her post through him, saw your comment and was curious - you sounded interesting (anyone that determined to dance sounds good to me, even though I am severely lacking in the grace/co-ordination department myself).

When the first thing I saw was an Edward Gorey quiz, how could I resist having a look?

Hope you don't mind.

Ah, got it. No, of course I don't mind! [livejournal.com profile] ag_unicorn isn't someone I know, but lots and lots of people have [livejournal.com profile] mertuil in common. [livejournal.com profile] mertuil and I are both part of a fairly extended Bay Area dance community, and like her I'm bound and determined to die dancin'.

As for Gorey, I'm afraid I'm not nearly the fan that some of my friends are. There are, however, some pictures of a couple of Gorey-themed parties we had available at my friend's page (scroll down a bit to see 'em). Actually, that's where this b&w one I use as my lj icon comes from! :-)

Hmmmm, Brit expat. Nice!

Ok, I just spent WAY too much time at your friend's page. Great pictures! Those looked like some pretty out there parties. Do you always have that much fun?

I'm not a major Gorey fan, but what I've seen of his stuff I've really enjoyed. Gorey-themed parties - marvellous! And the resulting icon isn't too shabby, either... ;-)

Do you always have that much fun?

Well, um.... yes. I'm blessed with a very cool and creative circle of friends. And most of those folks at the Gorey parties aren't even dancers!

And the resulting icon isn't too shabby, either... ;-)

Why thank you, ma'am!

Not dancers? Say it ain't so!

But they look like so much fun, I'm sure you can forgive them that minor failing. ;-)

I hope you don't mind my saying so, but I'm really enjoying talking (?) to you. Would you mind if I added you to my friends list? (A bit presumptuous, I know - sorry!).

I'm afraid it is so. They are mostly the people I game with. My dancer friends have websites with pictures of them in entirely different costumes: Regency, Renaissance, Empire, Dickens, etc. :-)

I hope you don't mind my saying so, but I'm really enjoying talking (?) to you. Would you mind if I added you to my friends list? (A bit presumptuous, I know - sorry!).

No, of course I wouldn't mind! That would make you my first official "random person in 'net-land" to lj-friend me.

Well, there had to be a first. Shame it wasn't a dancer, but there will be more - you can work your way up, given time.

*smirk*

And the deed is done!

(Well, a friend of [livejournal.com profile] ag_unicorn on lj, haven't met him, so that might have been a bit misleading. Sorry!

You might want to check out his journal sometime - he's an absolute gem. A complete and utter reprobate, in the best possible way! He found me through a mutual friend of ours and added me to his friends list. Very kind of him! :-)
