I thought of posting that 'ask me any question you like thing' again today.

But then I thought - why do I need to?

You can ask me questions any time you like. If answering them won't hurt anyone else, I'll do my best to answer them. You don't need special permission, a special post to hang your questions off. You can just ask them any time.

Of course, if you want to comment on this post with them, it's just as legitimate a place to put them as anything.

Okay, I have a question for you: what's the story behind that userpic?

Gorgeous song, by the way.

When you answer that Michelle, make sure you keep to your caverate and don't expand the story to include me getting attacked.

...sounds like the game 'taboo'. Right, in your reply, you're not allowed to mention:

Punk Party.

I mentioned two of them... but I could have avoided them all if I'd've read all this before replying, by just giving the link!

Claws?

I still have some of those... not the full set, though.

Oh, and *hands you a </li> tag*

http://pinkstuff.transformers.org.uk/~chess/me/icons.html might answer your questions. (Yes, the big table takes two years to load. If you know how to make it faster, let me know.)

The short answer is that it's from the XF2000 Punk Party.

I guess it's a starting point for conversation -- people don't just ask personal questions unless they really need to know, as the question may offend someone/mean their head gets bitten off/reveal something-they-have-been-wondering-about-but-fear-to-ask, or something.

If that didn't make sense, I know what I mean, honest. :)

And this post was trying to reassure ppl that they could ask questions anytime without getting heads bitten off etc.

How has CH/your feelings about CH changed and what caused that change?

Recently Crowded House has been more in-depth and good. Possibly most important is the fact that the two oldest guys who were always joking around during the entirity of the evening and kind of led everyone with them left, and two younger people came up who are more serious and like to debate stuff more sensibly. Also, I made an effort to be more relaxed and sociable, and so now I know everyone better. The 'prayer triplet' thing is helpful too.

I don't know how many questions you allow but I'll try for a second:

Why were you so unwilling to give that answer? (wanting to avoid being critical of those who left?)

Your other question was differently worded and would have required a different answer, detailing why *recent* CHs have been especially good, which involves several people giving words for other people which I'm not sure ought to be going out of that room.
