[lcohen]

how weird. i didn't read other people's responses before making mine. interesting what we come up with for stuff that makes you angry.

[leback.livejournal.com]

Am not looking at the other responses, because I want to see how many of these answers I know already. :-)

Where did we meet?

Online, I first encountered you on alt.poly; that's probably where you first encountered me, too. We met face-to-face at the Redwood City Poly Flock in 2004. I was thoroughly intimidated, in that stunned-fangirl sort of way. :-)

Take a stab at my middle name.

I can't begin to guess what it might really be, but if I were choosing one for you off the top of my head, I'd pick Elise. Don't ask me why; it just sounds nice. :-)

Do I believe in God?

Hell no!

How long have you known me?

I have been reading things you wrote online for probably five years or so now. (I lurked on a.p. for a good long time.) We've been mutually acquainted for a bit upwards of a year, I guess.

Do I smoke?

Nope.

What was your first impression of me?

Online, I honestly have no recollection. In person...something about your manner seemed more polished, somehow, than I was expecting. I can't quite put my finger on it.

What color are my eyes?

Gosh. Blue?

If we ate dinner together, what would we have?

You would probably volunteer to cook, and I would happily agree. We'd have something simple-and-elegant, made from whatever was good at the Berkeley Bowl just then.

Do I have any siblings?

A sister and a brother, I think.

What makes me angry?

Injustice. Prejudice. Oppression in the name of religious ideology or blind patriotism.

What's one of my favorite things to do?

Spend time with your partners and other dear ones.

What's one of the first things I said to you?

Damned if I remember.

What's my favorite type of music?

Your tastes are awfully eclectic, but if I had to pick one favorite type, I'd go with individualistic folk/pop singer-songwriters.

What is a good feature about me?

You're good at being happy, and at spreading it around.

What's a good memory you have of me?

I was ever so pleased when you posted to alt.poly expressing happiness at having met me after we encountered each other at the polyflock. I was so caught up in fangirl mode those couple days, meeting people like you and stonebender and wild_irises and nolly and and and... (you get the idea), that it hadn't occurred to me to think of myself as someone to *be* met. And I figured you'd picked up on how shy I was feeling, so your post seemed like a really kind gesture.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Gosh, I really like you, and for someone I've met in person a total of maybe a half a time (we didn't really converse, just kind of met, wouldn't you say?), I sure feel known by you. Thank you for all of this. I'm sitting here pleased as punch.

[leback.livejournal.com]

You say some of the nicest things... "Half a time" sounds about right to me--I remember hanging around in a group that you were also with, out under the nice tree, but I don't think we talked directly much at all. Maybe next time, if I can find my tongue. :-)

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

By the way, I think you'll make a great lawyer. So observant. :-)

[wild-irises.livejournal.com]

Where did we meet?

At the Englander.

Take a stab at my middle name.

Jean?

Do I believe in God?

No.

How long have you known me?

About two years? Or is it forever?

Do I smoke?

No.

What was your first impression of me?

I wanted to like you and I wasn't disappointed.

What color are my eyes?

Brown.

If we ate dinner together, what would we have?

Asparagus pasta with pine nuts and lemon juice.

Do I have any siblings?

Yes. Either two or three.

What makes me angry?

Injustice. Lack of respect for others. Being treated as invisible or inaudible.

What's one of my favorite things to do?

Walk.

What's one of the first things I said to you?

"I'm so glad to meet you!"

What's my favorite type of music?

Pretty eclectic, I think.

What is a good feature about me?

Your ability to deflect controversy.

Most of them.

Take a stab at my middle name.

Jean?

You're the closest so far. It's Joan.


How long have you known me?

About two years? Or is it forever?

Yes.

If we ate dinner together, what would we have?

Asparagus pasta with pine nuts and lemon juice.

Yay, you're cooking. :-)

What makes me angry?

Injustice. Lack of respect for others. Being treated as invisible or inaudible.

I never realized until this moment how true that last one is. It's funny, because I simultaneously (and more consciously) feel I talk too much/loudly/tactlessly a lot of the time.

What is a good feature about me?

Your ability to deflect controversy.

You take that back, you! ;-)

What's a good memory you have of me?

Most of them.

Aww. *smooch*

Re: Do me!

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

I love "renaissance poison".

Thanks, I think. ;-)

Absotively!

Do I have any siblings? -- yes, i think two; a sister and a brother.

Two brothers and a sister.

What makes me angry? -- injustice.

So many people have said this. I had no idea they would, but it makes me pensive and a bit proud of myself, if that makes sense.

What's one of the first things I said to you? -- *swoon*. or *sputter*. i think. it was something complimentary! :)

That's 'cause I'm an utter fangirl. :-)

What's my favorite type of music? -- progressive singer/songwriter.

You are so observant.

What is a good feature about me? -- your optimism. it isn't naiveté at all.

This is the best compliment ever.

What's a good memory you have of me? -- i don't have any bad ones, how to pick one...i suck at this.

How about the time I unthinkingly sent you an executable file without asking first? I still cringe when I think of it. You didn't slap me down or anything, but I was so pissed at myself the second I had hit "send". (This was years ago.)

Re: Do me!

[pir-anha.livejournal.com]

That's 'cause I'm an utter fangirl. :-)

*awww*. you're just trying to get me to blush.

i'm not surprised that so many people feel injustice makes you angry -- you're just not an easily angered person in general, and you don't spend much time ranting about this or that thing, so when the shit hits your personal fan, it's really obvious.

How about the time I unthinkingly sent you an executable file without asking first?

see, i don't even remember that at all, not even now that you've mentioned it. are you sure it was me? :) that's not the sort of stuff that stays with me in any case, so if that was the worst thing, it's all pancakes with maple syrup from here on out.
