Date: 2003-11-30 08:58 am (UTC)I'm not going to answer all of this, since I don't feel that I'm qualified to - certainly, I've not seen you in person for quite a few years (despite bumping into the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dammerell at infrequent intervals and knowing a lot of Cambridge folk).
Tough. It's a toss up between 'carwash' and 'harlan'. I can't remember who coined them (Helen Steele or myself), but the former relates to an act of desperation committed behind a carwash in Leytonstone, while the latter was probably something to do with ttba. All horribly unfair, of course ;)
Yup.
Since sometime in late 1994 or early 1995, at a guess.
At a CUSFS meeting in New Hall bar, sometime in the date range above (I can't remember if I went to my first CUSFS meeting before or after Christmas 1994)
That you were one of the more sane members of CUSFS.
Yes, you're still one of the more sane of those members of CUSFS that I knew during that time.
Purple kryptonite? Cheese?
It seems fairly likely.
Same thing that reminds me of a lot of your contemporaries - remembering the parties in Scotland Road. I miss that house...
Less well than I think I did seven years ago, but that's hardly surprising, given that answer below.
Not sure. I think that I've seen you since 1996, but can't be entirely sure. I've certainly seen people who have seen you, and that's almost as good.
Depends on how much they've been taunting you about carwashes and editing fanzines. Probably not, except in extraordinary circumstances.
Very, very tempting.

Date: 2003-11-30 10:55 am (UTC)Duck Boy, and no :)
2. Am I lovable?
I'll leave that to
3. How long have you known me?
Since about mid-2001, I think.
4. When and how did we first meet?
I have no doubt it was some drunken SGO do, but I couldn't tell you which for the life of me.
5. What was your first impression?
Obviously rather sketchy :)
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
No, someone's drawn round you in pen since.
7. What do you think my weakness is?
A certain potential for bitchiness.
8. Do you think I'll get married?
I can't see why you keep putting it off, personally. What are you waiting for?
9. What makes me happy?
Closure :)
10. What makes me sad?
An intimate knowledge of Lisp? Oh, you mean *that* kind of sad. Divided loyalties?
11. What reminds you of me?
Sexy Losers, it having been you who badgered me into reading it.
12. If you could give me anything what would it be?
Some flesh on your ribs *wince*
13. How well do you know me?
Reasonably. I'd say I still have a fairly good general picture of your responses.
14. When's the last time you saw me?
Last Thursday in the pub? Or was it Tuesday.. can't remember..
15. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
Not that I recall. Mind you I've never been exactly good at keeping my gob shut when I've got something on my mind.
16. Do you think I could kill someone?
I think all humans are capable of that if pushed far enough.
17. Describe me in one word.
Cromulent.
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger, weaker, or staying the same?
Settling nicely :)
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
I feel I'd be happy to talk to you about a lot of things, though your love of gossip occasionally makes me wary :)
20. Are you going to put this on your livejournal and see what I say about you?
No, since the tone of it is bizarrely familiar and I think people would (a) not know or (b) feel strange answering it about me. I feel a certain scientific curiosity though :)

"That's not a real word!"
"It's a perfectly cromulent word."
