Do we know each other outside of LJ?
Yes.

What’s your philosophy on life?
No regrets.

Would you have my back in a fight?
Yes, but I probably wouldn't be very effective.

What is your favorite memory of us?
The first moment I met you, you were dressed as Frankenfurter.

Would you give me a kidney?
Yes.

Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you.

Would you take care of me when I’m sick?
Yes.

Would you drive across country with me?
Probably.

Do you think I’m attractive?
Platonically. :)

If you could change anything about me, would you?
Nothing.

What do you wear to sleep?
Nothing.

If I only had one day to live, what would we do together?
Whatever you want, you're the dying one!

Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you?
Already done.

Do we know each other outside of LJ?

Yes.

What’s your philosophy on life?

I don't know. I think my philosophy is changing but remaining the same, and it will take me another few months to be articulate about which parts are still there.

Would you have my back in a fight?

Yes. I might get pretty annoyed with you if I saw you headed for what I saw as a misguided fight, but once there was no going back, I'd be there.

What is your favorite memory of us?

I don't remember. I remember you being happy, with a certain kind of smile, a few times. But I can't place which things we were doing went with those smiles. You getting elected President of the Coalition certainly ranks up there, though.

Would you give me a kidney?

If I was a substantially better match than any other available, yes.

Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you.

I lack normal binocularity. To some extent, my eyes work abnormally independently of each other. Sort of like an iguana :)

Would you take care of me when I’m sick?

Yes, if needed, or to give Chris a break.

Would you drive across country with me?

Yes, but I'm not sure you would with me. I think you'd find me too boring under those circumstances. But I'd be happy to find I'm wrong about that.

Do you think I’m attractive?

Yes.

If you could change anything about me, would you?

I'd have you remain more conscious of the difference between truth and intrinsic value on the one hand and appearance and saleability on the other.

What do you wear to sleep?

Nothing.

If I only had one day to live, what would we do together?

Shouldn't that be for you to decide?

Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you?

No, because then I'd have to answer everybody else, as well as you. But I'd enjoy seeing your response here or by email.

[awfief.livejournal.com]

Do we know each other outside of LJ?
yep!

What’s your philosophy on life?
One makes a living by what they get, they make a life by what they give. (will rogers)

Would you have my back in a fight?
metaphorically, yes. I'm not a physical fighter, so I might advocate running or getting help if we actually got in a fight, but who knows in the moment? As part of an argument, heck yeah.

What is your favorite memory of us?
Eating Ben and Jerry's in your kitchen. That and you espousing the wonders of Tivo naked while we were in bed together. You're very geeky and that's very sexy.

Would you give me a kidney?
yep.

Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you.
I've bought 15 copies of your time management book and 3 copies of TPOSNA: volume 1.

Would you take care of me when I’m sick?
yep!

Would you drive across country with me?
yep, we likely have similar styles of "what to do" and stuff.

Do you think I’m attractive?
yep!

If you could change anything about me, would you?
I'd have you live closer by, and maybe have us be in more similar fields so I could look up to you as a mentor more often. Or so we could take over the technical world together.

What do you wear to sleep?
My birthday suit.

If I only had one day to live, what would we do together?
Probably talk a whole hell of a lot. Figure out what things we'd want to buy or see or do, since after death credit card bills are meaningless. But I gather most of what you want to do you find the means to do. Maybe egg some folks and just be nasty without fear of retribution just for the sake of doig it, because there are no repercussions (unless you believe in heaven....)

Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you?
I think I posted it a while back, so no, but you can fill it out as a reply to this comment if you'd like.

[n5red.livejournal.com]

Do we know each other outside of LJ?
Yes. We had dinner at an elboid gathering several years ago, I think I still had long hair then

What’s your philosophy on life?
Peace, love, caring, reponsibility

Would you have my back in a fight?
Yes, whenever I have the chance

What is your favorite memory of us?
Dinner with folks from "that mailing list"

Would you give me a kidney?
Maybe if it wasn't mine

Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you.
I seem to have the sex appeal of Quasimoto.

Would you take care of me when I’m sick?
Yes, if I could do it without destroying myself

Would you drive across country with me?
Gladly.

Do you think I’m attractive?
Very attractive, but not my preferred gender.

If you could change anything about me, would you?
Only if it was something you dearly wanted changed.

What do you wear to sleep?
nothing

If I only had one day to live, what would we do together?
Whatever you wanted that didn't take me with you

Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you?
I can try

[polydad.livejournal.com]

1. Yes, we know each other.
2. In ten words or less? You've got to be kidding.
3. I have a very hard time imagining you getting *into* a fight. Argument, certainly, but you usually don't need help with those.
4. Hanging out at your place or Marah's whilst parties were being thrown.
5. Possibly, if you had need for one. For personal use.
6. I get seasick while cooking, but not while fixing black-water plumbing.
7. If you get sick in LA, sure.
8. I think we'd both have to start out on the same side of the country for that to work.
9. Moreso than I am, though I'm not sure how descriptive that is.
10. I don't think I have permissions on that system.
11. Skin.
12. If you had only one day to live, I think you have people closer to you than me that you'd prefer to be spending that time with. If you were here and wanted me to call the activity, I'd probably take you sailing.
13. No, but if you want to fill it out for me, go ahead and do so.

best,

Joel

Do we know each other outside of LJ? Yes

What’s your philosophy on life? Don't make the same mistake twice.

Would you have my back in a fight? Depends on what the odds of winning are.

What is your favorite memory of us? IRC, circa 1993.

Would you give me a kidney? Sure, why not? Oh, one of mine? No. Probably not.

Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you. I can't think of anything interesting enough worth mentioning.

Would you take care of me when I’m sick? Definitely.

Would you drive across country with me? If I had the opportunity, absolutely.

Do you think I’m attractive? In some ways, sure!

If you could change anything about me, would you? Not in any serious way, no. I'd make you blonde, but that's just because I really like blondes. :-P

What do you wear to sleep? Nothing, usually.

If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? Design a system that could scan my atomic structure and store it in a very large scale data warehouse, in case technology could some day "print" me a new body and/or clone me back to life. Hehe.

Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? Nah, I don't typically post these things.

[mhalligan.livejournal.com]

No
http://www.resiliencepunx.net/lyrics/Lyrics.html see the lyrics to Unity.
As long as you were in the right, or at least the other was in the wrong, or if I was just in the mood, then yeah.
Me reading your book.
You wouldn't want it.
If I could make 1/3 as much playing punk rock, I'd quit tech for life.
I make a mean chicken soup.
Will my fat ass fit in the car seat?
No comment.
Make it possible for you to write twice as many books in the same period of time.
Feety pajamas, of course.
I hope you wouldn't spend it with me, a total stranger.
Sure.

[codemonkey2841.livejournal.com]

Do we know each other outside of LJ? Yes

What’s your philosophy on life? Live today as if it were your last

Would you have my back in a fight? you bet

What is your favorite memory of us? Sitting at the Ambassador in Houghton, MI and you stopping mid-sentence to announce that your lips were starting to go numb

Would you give me a kidney? I really like my kidneys, but I suppose in a life or death situation I might just.

Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you. I've gone surfing with Joshua Jackson.

Would you take care of me when I’m sick? If you were in my neck of the woods.

Would you drive across country with me? I bet that would be an interesting trip!

Do you think I’m attractive? I'd say so

If you could change anything about me, would you? No, because then you wouldn't be you

What do you wear to sleep? PJs

If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? I have no idea

Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? Consider it done

[codemonkey2841.livejournal.com]

I hate when I miss a close tag...

[stitchinthyme.livejournal.com]

Do we know each other outside of LJ?
Yes.

What’s your philosophy on life?
Do whatever makes you happy, because you never know what will happen tomorrow.

Would you have my back in a fight?
Depends what the fight was about, but even if I did, I doubt I'd be able to help much!

What is your favorite memory of us?
Hmm, seeing Rocky Horror maybe? I didn't like it much at first, but it grew on me. :-)

Would you give me a kidney?
Yes.

Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you.
I'm not sure there is anything interesting about me...I'm a pretty boring person.

Would you take care of me when I'm sick?
That would be impractical since I live 200 miles away.

Would you drive across country with me?
I don't think I'd want to drive across the country with anyone. That's why they invented planes!

Do you think I'm attractive?
I stopped thinking about whether you were attractive, oh, about 17 years ago. :-) (Aside: geez, has it really been that long?)

If you could change anything about me, would you?
Now? Probably not. 17 years ago? I could probably have thought of a few things. :)

What do you wear to sleep?
Satin pajamas.

If I only had one day to live, what would we do together?
I guess I'll steal someone else's answer and say whatever you wanted, as you'd be the dying one. Within reason, of course.

Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you?
Probably not -- posting these kinds of memes makes me uncomfortable.

[yesthattom.livejournal.com]

17 years? OMG! We've not been dating for longer than your age when we first dated. (if that makes sense)

[stitchinthyme.livejournal.com]

Not true, though pretty close -- I was 18, almost 19, when we first started going out, and 19 when we broke up. :-)

[babbage.livejournal.com]

Do we know each other outside of LJ? Yes.

What’s your philosophy on life? I don't have a belief system. Any consistency observed in my behaviour must be a result of my personality. There are still things I do because I believe that they're the right thing to do, but rarely because someone else told me that was the case.

Nothing matters very much, and most things don't matter at all
-- Arthur Balfour

Would you have my back in a fight? I haven't been in a fight in more than half my life. Frankly, I'd be a liability.

What is your favorite memory of us? Sitting in the Long Stone when you visited, having a drink with a bunch of my oddball friends. Given the shortness of the remainder of your stay you were probably having an insufficiently fun time, and I reflected that you probably had much more definitively oddball friends, too.

Would you give me a kidney? Of course! Whose did you want?

Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you. I was christened in an electric frying pan.

Would you take care of me when I’m sick? Yes.

Would you drive across country with me? Actually that would be interesting.

Do you think I’m attractive? Yes, but not my gender preference.

If you could change anything about me, would you? I miss working with you.

What do you wear to sleep? Whatever I arrived at the meeting in.

If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? If you only had one day to live, I'm sure I'd be the wrong person for you to spend it with. Besides, if we found something really fun to do, perhaps I'd feel guilty that the whole thing would be made bittersweet because you'd know it was the last/only time you'd be doing it. But maybe I could choose something so fun but impossible that it'd be OK. Like painting all those phallic Manhattan buildings as if they were actual phalluses. Or go-karting down Lombard Street.

Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? Sure.

[yesthattom.livejournal.com]

I had a great time at the Long Stone. My only concern was that I felt like the straight-laced guy at a punk concert. The reality is that I think of myself much more oddball-ish than I dress, and people assume that I'm not oddball-ish.

It's nice to hear that you miss working with me. I miss you guys too. I always felt like the outsider that nobody liked.
