Okay, I partook - it's only fair

Vis bigbigtruck:

This is the problem with Livejournal: we all think we are so close, and we know nothing about each other. I'm going to rectify it. I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me; something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. then post this in your Livejournal and find out what people don't know about you.

So what would you like to know?

Hmmm... I don't really know what to ask, and probably wouldn't even if I did, more because of who I am than for not being interested, however I think I will carry this over....

Aw, give it up. What?

[musicalchaos.livejournal.com]

I honestly don't know... I've ingrained it into myself to not ask anything beyond what someone willingly shares... *shrugs* I just ummm... well... *chuckle* I really don't know... Ok, here's one... what got you into Anime in the first place?

I honestly can't remember a time I didn't like anime.

I can remember seeing "Alakazam the Great" in the theater and had the soundtrack - and that film had a copyright on it of 1961 - and I was born in 1960. (I get a kick out of the current Saiyuki running around in anime these days and snicker when I remember that Jonathan Winters voiced Hakkai's role, and Goku sang like Frankie Valli.)

Growing up in Southern California, I got to watch a lot the Tetzuka anime in B&W on television - The Amazing Three, Kimba, and then Gigantor and others.

Can not simply remember a time without anime. I love the stories, the characters, the art - and as the newer stuff comes over with the choice of hearing the original voices or not having the stories re-edited (*cough* Robotech *cough*) to suit someone else's taste, I find I prefer it to a lot of network television. I never watched Buffy - ever. Shocking.

Kimba rocked!

*raises fist*

Yo, I'm hip!

well, ok, i have two questions:

are you an LA native or a transplant from elsewhere?

what exactly do you do for a living?

:)

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

I am a native Californian, born and raised in the teeny hamlet of Hemet where I graduated from Hemet High School in 1978, and went to school at Mt. San Jacinto Jr. College until 1980 when I migrated to San Bernardino and finished my AA at San Bernardino Valley College.

I then went to the California Polytechnic University at Pomona and took a Bachelor of Science in Communication Arts, Broadcast Option and matriculated in June of 1984. I had intended to write for television, but I quickly discovered that a college degree doesn't prepare you to look for a job in that field - and I found myself back in the secretarial business that had kept me fed going to school.

The degree has opened doors to me that would have remained closed, but after holding down two separate jobs "in the business" I've decided that if something comes up, I'm ready - but I make better, more consistent money working with computers as an EDI Administrator.

THAT job description defies me - the hardest thing I have to do is explain what I do for a living, I swear it. To keep it short, I'm the human glue that keeps programmers and end users at both ends of the vendor/supplier pipeline together. I take specifications and interpret them, troubleshoot and negotiate changes. I spend more time with our customer's version of me than I do with my own coworkers -

Think data geek goddess. I'll be happy with that!

What would your last meal be?

What do you think of men who play golf? ;)

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Last. So final. *sobs*

I really don't think I want to know my last meal is my last - just like all the "last times" in life, the pathos just kills the pleasure of it all.

My favorite meal is Shake n' Bake BBQ chicken (dark meat!) with corn on the cob and smashed potatoes. With plenty of butter - you can keep the margarine. Follow that with some fresh apple pie in bowl, heated, with heavy cream and some root beer (a good brand) and I'm a happy camper.

Out of Shake n' Bake? Curry. Anything. Hot as you can stand it.

Golfers. That would be both my brothers, my sister and her husband - who have never taken me and won't teach me. *grump*

They spend lots of money on ruining their walk in the park with a little white ball. And until I get to go, that's my story and I'm sticking with it. *nods firmly*
