Fun With Memes

[chess]

I should be doing supervision work. But I have done some laundry, and some work. So here is a meme, courtesy of senji.

1. When did you first "friend" me?
2. Why did you first "friend" me?
3. What posts of mine do you like to read the best?
4. What would you like me to write about that I don't?
5. Do you think we would be friends in real life?
6. How often do you read my journal?
7. What do we have in common?
8. Will you post this in your journal so I can answer?

As for the other meme going around ('ask stuff!', basically), if you want to ask me anything at any time feel free to put a comment on whatever entry you feel like. I'm generally quite open (if you can't be open, I find, then you're obviously doing something wrong and should stop until you can be open again) and am very hard to offend by questioning, although I do unfortunately find myself with a growing list of things which are Other People's Business and so I can't promise to answer every possible question.

1) A couple of months ago.
2) I noticed you added me and liked your clear and thoughtful style of writing.
3) I like reading about your course and university life in general.
4) Walruses? Owls?
5) I don't see why not :)
6) Whenever it comes up on my flist, so, about two or three times a week I guess.
7) An interest in computing and Neil Finn..though you're probably more interested than computers than I am as I never actually did a degree in it!
8) No, because I'm afraid people will say nasty things about me and I've already posted two memes today...

I ought to go to bed, but I like this meme....

1. In the Christmas vac, last year, so almost a year ago now.
2. Um. Stuff. You were interesting at me at various CURS events.
3. The odd few in which you actually seem happy. Although admittedly the other type can make me feel better during work crises.
4. There isn't really much you don't write about that I can think of.
5. Maaaaaybe.
6. Well, my flist is pretty unbusy, and gets checked daily, so I generally read everything you write.
7. Roleplaying, geekery, and suprisingly little else.
8. Still no, because I don't have any non-RL friends...

1. When did you first "friend" me?
Not sure - soon after I started out at LJ.

2. Why did you first "friend" me?
You made some interesting comments in a mutual friend's journal and your own journal looked pretty interesting.

3. What posts of mine do you like to read the best?
The genuinely reflective ones - there was one particularly good one a couple of weeks ago.

4. What would you like me to write about that I don't?
It's up to you. What you write about is your business. Whether I read it is mine.

5. Do you think we would be friends in real life?
I think we would either be very good friends or else hate each other.

6. How often do you read my journal?
I read everything in my friends list. Occasionally I will refer to your journal by itself.

7. What do we have in common?
Mathematics, Christianity, jaq as a friend, nervousness about success at a mathematics degree, purity

8. Will you post this in your journal so I can answer?
Yes, but I doubt if you will

1. About a month ago or so.
2. You friended me first!
3. I haven't read enough posts to be able to say.
4. Um, cute fuzzy things?
5. We've been in the same city for almost two months now, hm.
6. Whenever I feel like catching up with my friends list and.
7. We're both compscis?
8. Mmmm... Possibly ;)

1) Apparently the 19th of July, 2003.
2) I think I agree with you that GROGGs was involved somewhere :)
3) The ones with thoughts in, rather than just dry "I went to this place, I went to that place". Fortunately most of them have this property.
4) Err, dunno.
5) We are, I hope :)
6) Whenever you post something in it (or rather whenever I see something from it on my Fiends page)
7) Stuff and Things. What you said. Uh, and we're both Christians (although I get the impression that we have our differences in theology)
8) Have done!
