The Tim Tam Tammy from Tasmania
Are we friends?
Nah, we're *mates* mate.
If we've met, when and how did we meet?
We met in the upstairs of a shady dive. It was late, it was smokey - they'd stopped serving food. But then I saw you and I just wanted to SQUEEZE ya! Hope you've recovered.
What social event or place would you like to go to with me?
The Unconvention!!! Oh please, please, it would be so cool!!
Would you kiss me?
Of course I would. I'd give you a great big smackeroonie. Well, a married-man version of that, anyway :)
Describe me in one word.
Intrepid
What was your first impression?
I quote from the Bookcrossing Forum, my first post to Skyring:

Re: Another funny username
Why thank you Skyring, I am feeling all warm and welcomed. :) And you are so perceptive! I like you already, now I am going to see what's on your bookshelf!
Do you still think that way about me now?
Yes :)
What reminds you of me?
Tim Tams & Bilbo Kiwiberry & Ring Bound Notebooks
If you could give me anything what would it be?
A free world travel pass that never expires.
How well do you know me?
I'd say I know you about 2% and the rest is rumour and hearsay :)
When's the last time you saw me?
A month ago. I'll rely on your estimate.
Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
I wanted to talk to you a lot more but I had to share you with all the other Bookcrossers. Still, next time. :)
Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you?
You already did me!

Oh joy! Yoko and I get to *do* Skyring (her words, not mine, but it is my czukles you hear)
Are we friends? For Life!!!
If we've met, when and how did we meet? Only in cyberspace, though we did chat on the phone...or I chatted and you fretted that you 'd be late. Humph.
What social event or place would you like to go to with me? Exploring anywhere- I love your take on life and the world. As long as you let me catch my breath from laughing.
Would you kiss me? Before or after you sweep me off my feet?
Describe me in one word. Wonderful. In two words:absolutely wonderful. In three words: Utterly, absolutely wonderful. I think you catch my drift here.
What was your first impression? This bloke is funny! (But I kept reading your name as "SkyKing: and kept thinking of Texans and Airplanes...prophetic, I suppose.)
Do you still think that way about me now? Now it's only one in a string of characteristics that you bring to mind
What reminds you of me? Tim-tams, bookabouts, clever puns, and the ping of IM starting up
If you could give me anything what would it be? Books written by you being successful enough to carry you and Kerri wherever you wish to go- and time in your day to do all you want to get done.
How well do you know me? Better each day
When's the last time you saw me? Silly! your picture's on your page! I love the smile!
Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't? Not yet
Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you? You already put a smile on my face this morning with what you wrote, you devil! (Oh yeah....you're an Aussie bloke...same thing.)
Re: Oh joy! Yoko and I get to *do* Skyring (her words, not mine, but it is my czukles you hear)
Am I too late to play?
Wren
Are we friends?
Absolutely
If we've met, when and how did we meet?
We met in Fort Worth last month. We met at breakfast, but I think we became friends on the Archer City adventure.
What social event or place would you like to go to with me?
An Aussie Convention
Would you kiss me?
Maybe after the 3rd meeting--but I'd hug you again.
Describe me in one word.
funny
What was your first impression?
My first impression was that you were quiet.
Do you still think that way about me now?
No. I figured out that you aren't really quiet. You are just waiting for the perfect opportunity to make one of those subtle remarks that slides right into the conversation, but makes you stop about 5 seconds later and realize how funny it was.
What reminds you of me?
DQ
If you could give me anything what would it be?
Hummingbirds
How well do you know me?
Better than I did a month ago.
When's the last time you saw me?
April 17
Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
No
Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you?
Sure, why not. ;-)
Re: Am I too late to play?
Oh, but I'd love a hummingbird. And a Wrenhug.
And how can I thank you enough for that great photograph of me amongst the bluebonnets?

Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
-- That you are my hero. Did I *really* say that to you on our first meeting?
Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you?
-- We're even-steven now
Re: Cripes, Wren! Where's that closing tag?
Just added you to my AIM buddy list, FWIW
me too
Re: Cripes, Wren! Where's that closing tag?
I pretty much don't take passengers, but having added 3000 miles to my riding experience in the equivalent of three weeks, I guess I might have a few more skills kicking around these days. We'll see.
Did you really say that I was your hero?
EXTRACT: Raven's Roads, (c) 2005 Linda Raven Moore
So the first ice-breaker of the 2005 North American Book Crossing Convention was a Book Crossing baby shower for Marina, which started with a casual, only half-serious comment by email. It was a delight. I had asked people to contribute books, which in keeping with Book Crossing style did not have to be new, and should be registered; there were many books, and also many presents of a more general style, including a baby cowboy suit, which took the biscuit. People showed up a few at a time and there were hugs and helloes as new friends were made and old ones were renewed.
Most of us don't see one another except for online during the year, and it was wonderful to put faces to screen names and find out what the real names were. Pete-Skyring from Australia wandered in and immediately recognised me. “My hero!” he cried, having been following my adventures on Live Journal all along, and immediately scopped me up in a big hug and kiss. I was incredibly touched.
Often, people recognised me long before I recognised them, mostly because I post lots of pictures and am perhaps a bit more open about sharing my life online, at least with my friends. I have been playing in the online world since 1992, and I guess I am not nearly as shy as most...I save my shyness for the real world. Feeling like an unutterable geek, I frequently had to ask people what their user name was first, but with Pete the soft-spoken Australian accent was an immediate and dead giveaway.
Re: Cripes, Wren! Where's that closing tag?
I've been following your life for a year or more now, and in that time you've gone further afield than I ever had, and you've persevered with learning to ride a motorbike in difficult conditions. You've done or are doing some bold and magic things and I've sought inspiration from you in my own life, though not to the extent of riding a motorbike. Fair suck!
You've gone whipping off to the UK at the drop of a hat, and maybe that was in my mind when I decided to fly to Washington in January. Your joy in travel and taking photographs and Bookcrossing and general geekiness matches mine, and it was YOU I wanted to see most of all in Fort Worth.
We both seemed to be having adventures on the way to the convention, and I might have flown two thirds of the way around the globe to get there and had a wonderful Bookcrossing adventure of my own, but it was all comfortable chairs and cities and a roof over my head.
In comparison, you were out there in the vast wilderness, just you and a bike and a couple of saddlebags. I was enormously impressed at your courage, and even more so when I flew to San Francisco and looked down on the great deserts and mountains you'd crossed.
I scopped you up in my arms, did I? Looks like that manuscript needs proofreading, and you may send it along as soon as ever you like!
Re: Cripes, Wren! Where's that closing tag?
no subject
Are we friends? Sadly, just acquaintances. I love following your adventures and journal entries though.
If we've met, when and how did we meet? Again, sadly, nope
What social event or place would you like to go to with me? Toronto Convention, that's near me!
Would you kiss me? Probably, but then you'd go, who in the world is this lady????
Describe me in one word. Funny
What was your first impression? Boy, this guy makes journaling an art form!
Do you still think that way about me now? Yup. I've even tried making my journal entries a bit more interesting after watching you and Bookchuk
What reminds you of me? Books released in large areas of water...and attacked by birds!
If you could give me anything what would it be? A ticket to Toronto next year
How well do you know me? Well, I know you are funny, and very nice, but not as well as I'd like.
When's the last time you saw me? Last time I looked at your icon
Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't? nope
Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you? Mines already up
