Juniper Berries, vol. II

[Betong Åsna]

No idea bout the lyrics.

Now did I actually know you when you were here last? I'm not sure I didn't miss your stay. I think I would've remembered your overt sensibleness.

[Kataja76]

Mr. Betong, I believe we have never earlier directly addressed each other. However, I have known you by reputation since my very n00b era at AnimeB. I'm sorry I've never learned the background of your rather interesting nick.

*****

Now how was it again? *some browsing in my personal files* I had a heavy LH addiction in late 2005. My diary entries suggest I most probably discovered AnimeB for the very first time on December 16th, 2005, but it might have been some days earlier or several days later.

I registered on January 8th, 2006. My active-newbie time lasted for the first months of that year. Back then, my top interests were fanfic writing and other creative stuff such as making sigs.

Then I had another period of increased activity during the Autumn of 2006, concentrating on membership of the Kalmar Union, getting some practice in Swedish and the other Scandinavian languages. (Ikke bare det! Jeg havde det så sjovt med jer kalmarister.)

ORIGINAL MESSAGE, August 15th:

Recording an avatar text change for historical reference.

The earlier text: "'En finne igen!'"

The new text: "Verta nenästä".

EDIT, the same day (in Finland after midnight though):

Removed from my sig the line, "'I just filled up ten pages with pulp mush!' - Motoko Aoyama". I've been a terribly lazy fiction writer since early June.

EDIT, August 16th

EDIT, August 21st:

No hip-hop l33tst3rz around. The mysterious second lyrics reference was "Loungin'" By GURU featuring Donald Byrd, 1993.

The excerpt was slightly modified. The original says, "Everybody knows they have times when they wanna just lay back, kick their feet up, y'know, listen to some good music and just lounge." (Thanks to OHHLA.)

Wanna check out the track? Currently it is featured here.

EDIT, August 23rd:

As regards farewells, soon I'm going to be off for a while. The plan is to spend the weekend with a good friend at his summer cottage, which is a wonderful place. No Internet, no traffic noise, just the nature all around and some delicious food. Hopefully I'll be more energetic after that, which means less time online daily than in the past weeks, and more real life. We'll see.

Before I leave, I'm finally changing my avatar for the second time. The next Juniper Quiz is about the source of the new pic. Participate!

If some of you are good with graphics and have too much spare time, you might want to try to add a double nosebleed burst to the picture. I am extremely choosy with my avatars though, so there is NO guarantee I will actually pick up any of the possible modified versions. I could pay, um, 500 points for an accepted modification. (Who on Earth needs 500 points?!)

[LonelyLittleAngel]

I wish I could make out more than a couple of names in wolf's post

[Kataja76]

The Hokey-Croakey is Back in affect. That weekend did me some good, so I live more IRL now. Present with a lower frequency, I'll be a King of the Low Frequencies, a Justified Ancient. Wonder if anybody here gets the reference.

RT, ya representin', man? I saved your 4 Elements sig pic, thanks-a-lot!

Here's some dope new Finnish hip-hop for you to check out, rhymes in English, high quality s**t with a simple yet classic message. DJ Mobster featuring Paleface and Redrama: Still in Charge. Gotta love it. No wonder Jurassic 5 is the biggest new name for me since 1995, eh?

[KC]

Enjoyed your hip hop mr kataja!

in return i give you

[wålf-kun]

I still think the best music to come from Finland yet is Ievan Polka

Og hyggelig å se deg tilbake ^_^

[Kataja76]

Wow, Ganesha. White rap from 1986, that's HC. The embedding doesn't work but I went out to YouTube to check it out.

How about this answer?

My berry-flavoured rap vid blog!

[KC]
