meme stolen from corivax
post anonymously, giving me three clues as to who you are. Then let me try to guess.
And if I don't get it right, please tell me I'm wrong and give me another hint. Since the comments are anonymous, you'll have to check back to see my attempts to figure you out.
Except if I eventually give up, and you don't educate me, I will be very very very stompy. So be prepared to out yourselves!

I'm going to bet on doctorpepper, but I suspect there to be many options.

[(Anonymous)]

Nope. Do I give another clue now? I have two sisters and a brother.

[maribou]

Hm. mynuet? I know she has sisters, and the original three fit... is that you?

[mynuet.livejournal.com]

Yup, it's me. :D I was being all tricksy.

I own a teddy bear named Adams and a kewpie doll named Susie.
My lone coordinated skill is being able to juggle.
I love maps of places that don't exist.

[maribou]

Is it possibly theohara? I seem to remember something about juggling...

4) I have never met you.

5) I like cucumbers in apple cider vinegar with kosher salt and black pepper.

[maribou]

eeyorerin?

[eeyorerin]

C'est moi!

The hell! I didn't know you could juggle! I demand a demonstration. On the beach. With cabana-persons.

[eeyorerin]

You bring the cabana boys, I'll bring the balls.

Ahem.

1 - I once wrote you most of a letter with extensive bibliography explaining why, in my opinion, you don't exactly have a soul the same way the rest of us do. Also, I've drawn naked sketches of you.

2 - A life goal of mine is to see sundogs or a parhelic circle.

3 - I have one hobby that could crush my body in an impact, another that could literally scald me to death, and a third merely likely to blind me.

I don't actually think you're corivax but you arguably *could* be, if I were lacking enough knowledge; a plausible corvid could be constructed around those clues. And if you aren't who I think you are, I'd feel really stupid for guessing wrongly. So I guess corivax. (If I'm wrong, crow, just remember how you felt about guessing who had a *crush* on you, and imagine how awkward I'm feeling at this exact moment, and grant me forebearance.) Really, I'm just still turning over that first clue in my head.

Ach! I'm wounded to the quick! Fetch the swooning couch!

I can't fool anyone.

I was deliberately being tricksy and deceptive, here.

With regards to drawing you naked: Whenever I am drawing someone in any real detail, I tend to draw the person in nekkid first, because I find it's a lot easier to get the way the body moves, to see it not as 'this joint at 90 degrees, this joint at 47 degrees', but the way people curl themselves like question marks around the weight of their words. It's never that detailed - nipples are just dots to make sure the chest isn't horribly misproportioned, genitals nonexistant. Then I draw clothing on top. :)

I have a rough sketch or two of you, drawn from memory, that I used when trying to figure out how to convert the way your personality shines through your motions to a comic book character who doesn't look a whole lot like you. I drew clothes on all of them as soon as I was satisfied with the flow of lines.

With regards to the soul thing: it was one of those desperate spiny metaphors, and I decided it didn't entirely work for what I was trying to say, and the letter sits half-finished and likely will be for quite a while.

[maribou]

Ooh! My feint was actually a touche!
I think it may have been the scalding hobby that gave you away, though I'm kind of curious about the other two hobbies.

I'm rather relieved to know it wasn't THOSE kind of naked sketches.

I am not fond of most people I encounter.
I love the way books feel, smell, and sound (haven't tasted them...yet).
I have an inordinate amount of affection for shit cars. Not classic cars, just shit cars that you can buy for under $1000.

[maribou]

Wow. This could be a lot of people also. Since I don't know much about how people feel about cars.
p7a77? Is that you?

[(Anonymous)]

alas, tis not.

I am inordinately fond of the state in which I live, and despise the state immediately to the south, even though I am about to move to it.

I have set foot in eight nations in the past four months.

[maribou]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm. violentblue?

[(Anonymous)]

alas, still no.

I like cacti, and also cats.

Food is one of my great loves.

Not that this needs to be pointed out at this point, I suppose, but we are relatively unknown to each other. I don't think either of us has ever commented in the other's journal, prior to this.

[maribou]

boredinsomniac, maybe? That was one of my first guesses and then I thought, "nah, anybody who would comment on this would be someone I at least have some background with"...

[boredinsomniac.livejournal.com]

yeah, you'd think that would be the case, but I was curious as to whether you would guess it from having read my journal, despite not knowing me that well. I guess, since you did think it could be me at first, that the answer is yes. congratulations!

I have made money from two of my favorite hobbies.

I have watched things be set on fire with you.

I consider myself to be only *sort of* a geek.

[maribou]

Hmm. vixyish perhaps?

[vixyish.livejournal.com]

Man oh MAN. I have not fooled a single person YET!

That does it. I'm making my clues harder from now on...

I have worn the same piece of jewelry for the past decade.
I am more sensitive to wasp and bee venom than most people.
My least favorite activity is public speaking.

Also I call shenanigans since "Notice! This user has turned on the option that logs IP addresses of anonymous posters."

[maribou]

I was thinking! Poorly, as I am still highly uncertain. entelein, maybe? Is that you? I confess that not only am I at a loss, but I'm pretty sure I should *know* this one. So I've been wibbling. If I'm wrong may I pretty please have another clue?

I attempted to use reverse lookup on exactly *one* of these, and it was of absolutely no use. In general I've been abstaining from it, and have no plans to do it again.

[(Anonymous)]

But if I give another hint, it would end up being fairly specific and you'd guess it off the bat.
Your guess does amuse me but I must say you're colder than a former two-term president.

I have yet to make money off of my hobby and I would like to profit from it someday. This is a hobby I have been maintaining with my own money for several years.

[maribou]

It's raisinbottom! I suppose discussing you with it in person is even more cheating than reverse lookup though.

[(Anonymous)]

Ahem! Clearing throat here.
