Oh, go on then

I'd like to sing with you, definitely, and also go to a concert/gig or maybe a play with you. And, in general, just see you more often, now all my awkwardness is gone. :)

[rbarclay.livejournal.com]

Hmm, maybe meet you sometime, since I only know you from/via the 'net.

[hairyears.livejournal.com]

Treat you, and two friends of your choice, to a leisurely meal in the kind of place where they don't mind you taking three or four hours from the aperitifs to the port and brandy. Failing that, Carluccio's will do, if you can cope with Bitter Chocolate Ice Cream and strawberry.

One day, someone's going to take me up on this.

[mouse262.livejournal.com]

Meet you. You've emailed me before about maybe meeting up someday, but
we never have.

[j4.livejournal.com]

Okay, now I'm trying to match up names/nicknames/aliases/etc...

[karen2205]

Meet you and talk about Chalet School books/computery type things/other stuff.

[j4.livejournal.com]

'twould be good. I keep meaning to have a Chalet School gathering, I mean of CS fans who are still talking to me after the GO debacle... *sigh*

Host you for two weeks [ minimum ] in Montreal; to include, wandering around the Biodome [ beavers! penguins! piranhas! bats! sturgeon ! sloth ! database-designing porcupines! ], wandering around the Botanic Gardens given it being the right time of year, looking around the Musee de Beaux Arts [ very pretty non-European stuff of wide origin, including some amazing Inuit art ], looking at a couple of cool churches [ three-quarter scale reproduction of Notre Dame cathedral, main space done in Laura Ashley Gothic, rear chapel unbelievably Mithraic ], wandering around the trendy bits of the Plateau looking in all the second-hand CD shops, eating in lots of cool places [ multi-course three-hour Japanese, Peruvian, Russian if it's the cold part of the year, combinatorial Italian in the Village, jazz-infested steakhouse, maple ice-cream, tiny little BYOB French places, local Chinese and Italian where they know me by sight.. ] and most likely some theatre, given the likelihood of good theatre in any random two weeks here.

[j4.livejournal.com]

Coo. That sounds quite overwhelming...

(I have to ask: database-designing porcupines??)

This is possibly going to sound weird, but I'd like to have a really intense, no-holds-barred discussion shading into argument with you. So that by the end of it you'd have challenged some deeply ingrained assumption of mine and I'd have to take into account your ideas as part of my world view. And I'd have convinced you of how much I look up to you so that I could in future interact with you without being afraid of coming across as either patronizing or insulting.

I would have kept quiet, except that the meme says anyone and everyone who reads this and I have a tendency to literalism with meme instructions.

[j4.livejournal.com]

And I'd have convinced you of how much I look up to you

Eeek. Look, I'm 5'1-and-a-bit": nobody looks up to me unless they're sitting down. :)

But seriously. That sounds like a great idea. And hopefully you'd challenge deeply ingrained assumptions etc. of mine as well -- only fair, after all.

(FWIW I don't think you've ever come across as patronizing or insulting to me!)

This is possibly going to sound weird, but I'd like to have a really intense, no-holds-barred discussion shading into argument with you.

Gosh, I want to be a fly on the wall for that. I hope it doesn't come across as patronising to say that knowing both of you as I do I'd love to see how you spark off each other.

[besskeloid.livejournal.com]

I'd like to sit in a loveseat with you, with a serving of tiramisu for each of us & Ellington's 'Far East Suite' on the stereo.

[j4.livejournal.com]

Swoon!

My suggestion (in your journal) of meeting and hugs now seems so simple and naive. I can only hope you think it was cleverly deliberate artlessness. :)

[truecatachresis.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I'm not sure there's anything in particular I'd want to do that we haven't already done, but we've certainly not done any of them for a long time. So, I'd like to do them again.

[j4.livejournal.com]

Heheh. Heh. That sounds dirty.

Fancy a game of M**?

[hoiho.livejournal.com]

Buy you a pint of Plain.

(That'd be a trip here (http://www.porterhousebrewco.com/coventgarden.html), then...)

[acronym.livejournal.com]

Lunch some point next week? :)

- A (unambitious but ruthlessly practical...)

[j4.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me! I was going to suggest it for this week but then I realised it was Wednesday -- [checks clock] -- I mean, Thursday already. Where the hell does the time go?

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Something. Anything! But in real life. Possibly involving good food, or good music.

Oh, and what are you doing on 12th November?

[j4.livejournal.com]

12th November? No idea. That's ages away. I don't know what I'm doing next week, I can't plan that far ahead!

[juliet]

General catching-up. Ideally over FOOD. (but then I just like food).

[j4.livejournal.com]

Food is good. Catching-up is good, too. Come to Cambridge & I will take you to the Rainbow Café (http://www.rainbowcafe.co.uk/start.html). :-)

[addedentry.livejournal.com]

Learn about jazz. (You did once promise me a beginner's tape, but you appear to have become more advanced since then.)

[j4.livejournal.com]

Oh, crikey, sorry! I had forgotten. (I remember now that I was supposed to be doing an introduction to folk for CRB, too. Why do people see me as some sort of authority? I just 'know what I like', and bluff a lot.)

Dunno if I'm more advanced, I've discovered more jazz that I like, but I'm still hopelessly insecure about whether I'm listening to the right jazz, so I don't feel like I'm in a position to educate other people. I mean, basically the first rule of jazz is that you're not allowed to understand it unless you play it, and even then it's not something you can learn, it's just a gift from the Gods of Infinite Cool. Beyond that, y'know, I could just do you a tape of the stuff I like.

Or I might ask my dad for help.

[jiggery-pokery.livejournal.com]

Go on a large spending spree where by some mechanism neither of us needs worry about the cost.

[j4.livejournal.com]

Heh. That would be ace. How do you propose to work this? :)

[(Anonymous)]

Have a natter and catch up, and generally talk about intellectual geeky things in some pub with food + good beer. Preferably that place between Jesus and Parker's Piece which does massive doorstep sandwiches, or the Mitre.

Crikey, where have you been hiding?

[imc.livejournal.com]

OK, that settles it:

I'd like to join in the game of M**. Though, it's been so long since I've played that I've forgotten all my good rules…

(I'd also like to win the lottery, pay off your debts and hire you as smallclanger's nanny, but that is somewhat less practical for the time being.)

[ewx.livejournal.com]

I've said this in a similar sort of context quite recently but this sort of question leaves me with the same sort of difficulties that I Have Never... produces, in a way. With a lot of people I know there's no one thing that stands out as a best thing to do with them, they're just nice to have around and will enhance many different kinds of experience. It's not that I don't want to do anything with them, quite the opposite, it's just ... impossible to pick anything.

(It's 00:45 so I don't feel I have to care if this doesn't make much sense to anyone but me.)
