Oh, why not?

From ladyjestyr and elissa_carey: a meme.

I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.

Hey ... Patrick, here. I'm that angst-ridden freak from Toronto, with the pathetic sex life. :)

[electricland.livejournal.com]

Cool. Although that doesn't narrow it down very much. *ducks to avoid missiles aimed at head by her other Toronto friends*

[mickeytor.livejournal.com]

damn you Montrealers, with your cold weather, your orange hair and your lax liquor laws!!!! ;)

[elissa-carey.livejournal.com]

My girlhood crush was on Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran. It was pretty pathetic. :)

For someone I've never met, we seem to have a surprising sense of humour in common.

I like making fun of silly, pretentious cultural garbage, I'm terribly fond of horses and rode for around 12 years, am a massive geek, and am another angst-ridden freak from Toronto with a poor sex life.

I think I know you through Pariah and Niccibear and co.

[electricland.livejournal.com]

That, and this (http://www.livejournal.com/interests.bml?int=ruthless+pragmatism).

[whimcomic.livejournal.com]

*snickers* True! I thought it was a handy and accurate interest to add.

I'm a newly minted Toronto-phobe

There must be a really low birth rate there.

My eyes squeak when I rub them.

To stay with the food theme you suggested for one second, how about this: I'm allergic to chocolate, strawberry's, banana's, blue berry's, eggs, coke, pepsi and a few other things that are fun to eat :(

To change my sharing, how about this... yet another Toronto person with a pathetic and strange sex life and such and such :P

[alierakieron.livejournal.com]

I'm a caper junkie. Those little pickly thingies on Chicken Piccata? I ate half a jar once. Seriously. They're like crack.

[pariah-ink.livejournal.com]

I'm a not so angsty toronto native with a good sex life. Just to be different.

Oh, and I'm your cousin.

Item #2 means that I really really really don't want to know anything about item #1.

[pariah-ink.livejournal.com]

DOn't blame me. Blame the two angst ridden eunuchs.

[punmeister.livejournal.com]

I'm a night owl, I function much better from the afternoon on.

[anaka.livejournal.com]

I named my dog Anaka so I would never name a daughter that (it was after a character in a game).

[raithen.livejournal.com]

I'm a BC person with a pathetic sex life. But I am not angst ridden, because I don't live in Toronto. And I have horses. And I am writing a diss. And you know ALL of this.... :D.

[fic-slayer.livejournal.com]

I hate blueberries and turnips.

Since I had my wisdom teeth removed a couple years ago, I have to floss several times a day.My dentist would be so proud.

[valancyjane.livejournal.com]

I only like spinach in pizza. Chicago stuffed pizza, preferably. :)

I briefly met Paul Simon (RIP) on a family trip to D.C. when I was 15.

[nellisir.livejournal.com]

I'm an American. I like the Canadian flag. If I didn't live where I do, I'd shoot for Nova Scotia. And I'm married, so no sex life.

[freerider.livejournal.com]

I am far sillier than I often appear, enjoying and enacting classic slapstick humour around the place. I wanted to be a clown until I found out just how much hard work clown collage was, so I went to law school instead.

It's all right, I know the ropes. In the nick of time, I'm going to turn a new leaf and then take the bit between my teeth and the bull by the horns. This is a no holds barred kind of deal--there's no middle of the road and I'm certainly not pulling your leg. But it's all a moot point really, so I think I'll just nip it in the bud. As a parting shot, I think you should know it's red letter day.


I...ahem...really love idioms.

ok, here's the short scoop.

[javahousejihad.livejournal.com]

-I like to write original fiction, just no one's gotten around to paying me for it yet.
-I don't avidly dislike what I do for a living(dispatch for a concrete company) I just hate everyone I work with :)
-I'm a Taurus born in the year of the ox.
-I love wine, rice and grape. I fully intend on doing some home brewing, but I unfortunately work to much and am lazy the rest of the time.
-My best friend just moved to San Fransisco, and I want to move out there as well.
-I still don't know why you friended me first, but I'm glad you did.
-I think WAAAAY faster than my hands can type(which is a big disappointment when it comes to editing).
Oh, and I like coffee.

Re: ok, here's the short scoop.

[electricland.livejournal.com]

I don't remember why I friended you either (I should record these things). Possibly I was going interest-searching and your username stood out (as it tends to). I'm glad I did too!

San Francisco is lovely.

Re: ok, here's the short scoop.

[javahousejihad.livejournal.com]

Does my username stand out?
