This could be difficult

Reply to this post and...

1. I will tell you what song reminds me of you.
2. I will tell you what celebrity/public/fictional person you remind me of, either personality-wise or looks-wise.
3. I will give you one word that I associate with you when I think of you.
4. I will tell you what color(s) I associate with you.

Then steal this for your journal and make someone else's day as well if you so choose.

One caveat, my answers to #1 will not be restricted to songs (I may also use instrumental pieces, entire operas, etc.). Also, I may not restrict myself to one item, either.

edit: This is a lot harder than it looks. It's probably going to take me a while to respond to everyone, so please be patient. Thanks.

Hell, I'm game.

1. Sheena is a Punk Rocker by The Ramones, Rock the Casbah by The Clash, and the album Dixie by Avail.
2. This one is really hard. The best I can come up with is some combination of Death from The Sandman and the "filthy assistants" from Transmetropolitan.
3. artist
4. A warm, rich brown, like polished wood.

What fun! I couldn't ask for better than Death + filthy assistants! :)

Now I have to see if I have the ooomph to post this in my journal and see who turns up.

Sooon. Maybe if this weekend goes well....

Hmmm.... I'm curious... fire away!

1. Almost anything by John Dowland, because I think you'd sing his stuff really well.
2. This is a really hard question regarding you. The character I most associate you with is Alavon, of course. But I don't think that counts. The main character in Cecilia Holland's Jerusalem reminded me somewhat of you. And the main character from Judith Tarr's The Hound and the Falcon. Yeah, Crusades-era knightly types.
3. honor
4. spruce green

[apintrix.livejournal.com]

sure. :-)

1. "The Whole of the Moon" by the Waterboys, "Bonny Swans" by Loreena McKennit, the viol da gamba music of Marin Marais and St. Colombe.
2. Various characters from Patricia McKillip books, particularly the bad duke's mage daughter in Song for the Basilisk, whose name I cannot remember.
3. mythopoeic
4. violet with a touch of gray

[jila.livejournal.com]

I'm curious as well.

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

1. "Lovecats" by The Cure; Sweeney Todd
2. Minerva McGonagall; Vivien Leigh
3. Fierce
4. Black with a warm gold sheen to it.

1. The Hornburg music from The Two Towers Soundtrack
2. Morrolan from the Dragaeran books by Steven Brust (ok, I confess, Other Kenjari suggested this)
3. steadfast
4. silver

Me too, please!

1. "El Grillo" by Josquin DesPrez, various songs by Jonathan Richman.
2. Kivrin from Doomsday Book, and spunky heroines wherever they may be found. ;)
3. springtime
4. a rich purple

[ladybird97.livejournal.com]

Yay Kivrin! With any luck, my dissertation defense won't be quite so arduous...although I have my doubts sometimes :)

And I don't think I actually know Jonathan Richman, but now I'm curious. Any recommendations about where to start?

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

The Berserkly Years CD - it's a compilation of a lot of his best stuff. You've never heard "Road Runner" or "Pablo Picasso"? Those are his two most famous songs, but not necessarily the ones I was thinking of for you.

[ladybird97.livejournal.com]

I don't think so - if I have, I don't remember them. But I'll definitely try to check him out now. Thanks!

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, the song I was particularly thinking of was "I'm a Little Dinosaur" - had to wait until I got home to check the title and that it's really on that CD.

[mmeubiquitous.livejournal.com]

Go for it :)

1. The Dona Nobis Pacem from Henry V.

It is tricky, innit? I'm in, if you can. If not, don't worry.

[kenjari.livejournal.com]

1. The Gladiator soundtrack. Or maybe "Telephone Call from Istanbul" by Tom Waits.
