Since I've just gone through to pester everyone else: Meme!

Reply to this and I will:

1) Tell you why I friended you.
2) Associate you with a song/movie.
3) Tell a random fact about you.
4) Tell my first memory of you.
5) Associate you with an animal/fruit.
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7) In return, you MUST spread this disease in your lj.

With caveat that the answer to 1) is pretty much always going to be "Because you friended me hi!", due to my lack of initiative.

Am now off to comb Palo Alto for rental copies of The Emperor's New Groove, as roommate has not seen it and library does not have it, both of which make me go >:O. Will respond upon return!

How did I first get into filking. Oh, that's a complicated question.

Filking in the sense of writing new lyrics to old songs ... my dad's been doing that since before I was born -- ask me about West Side Megillah someday -- and I've been doing it pretty much as long as I can remember.

Music that called itself filk, though, that wouldn't have been till my second year of college. The first filk albums I ever heard were Serious Steel, with Leslie Fish and Joe Bethancourt teaming up to sing SCA and SCA-related songs, and Frank Hayes Live. And it was shortly after that that I went to my first SF convention -- Lunacon, NY's local media con. And went into the filkroom Saturday night, and startled everybody by singing Frank Hayes's "Cosmos" without flubbing once.
(I didn't know it was impossible when I did it.)
