friends 'r' us meme

[donutsweeper]

stolen from a bunch of people....

COMMENT HERE AND I WILL:
a) Tell you why I friended you.
b) Associate you with something -- a fandom, song, color, photo, etc.
c) Tell you something I like about you.
d) Tell you a memory I have of you.
e) Ask you something I've wanted to know about you
f) Tell you my favorite userpic from your list
g) In return, you need to post this on your own

As a side note, I should probably admit right off that my answer to 'why I friended you' will be the same to everyone- I never friend anyone until they've friended me.   I'm far too shy (yes, really) to randomly friend people.

I never friend anyone until they've friended me
hmm I'm prety sure that isn't true for you and me...

Me please?

Either version of me - I'm not fussy!

Actually, I probably did friend itsarift_thing, but I think of fic LJs as extensions of the person.. so you did friend me first...
b) You're 100% responsible for the "whistling" verse- so that
c) You're utterly evil with the way you get me thinking about story ideas
d) Seven's bear commentfic!!! God that was fun
e) Have you always lived in the UK? In just one place there, or many?
f) I most associate you with the it's a rift thing and walking doodle ones, but I love your 'magnificent' Master one

Always lived within about four miles of where I live now. Except, because my mum wasn't always in the best of health even when I was really young I got farmed out to relatives in Manchester until I went to boarding school when I was 11. Still came back for holidays and log weekends and stuff, though. It wasn't a bit like Harry Potter.

The bear was FUN!!

And I still think you friended MJ before I friended you...

stupid question but is Manchester far?

I'll repeat what I comment below to Rusty- I feel stupid friending people. Asking if it's okay and whatnot (but I'd feel stalkerish if I didn't ask) so I don't.

Not counting people's alternate LJs I friended a grand total of one person without being friended first and then dropped them because I felt unwanted and dumb

Manchester is about 250 miles away - it used to be further (no seriously, Motorways are a great invention). My sister used to take me on the train the first time I went I was 3 so she would have been about 15... It was a very long train journey complete with having to cross London on the Underground.

I'd feel stalkerish if I didn't ask
Yeah - me too - and then if you ask you're sure to spot a rant somewhere a few days later about how only newbies ask if it's okay to friend someone's journal *facepalm*

it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't sort of thing isn't it? Not friending is easier. Sort of.

That is pretty far! Especially for the UK!
