aliskyeGakked from several others :)
I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. (Some I know too well. You know who you are.) I read some of your journals, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you for your interest in my words.
But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...they listen in rapture to the love-music of she-turnips." I might feel compelled to mock your musical taste, but I'll certainly remember you.
I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear.

Date: 2007-12-18 04:31 am (UTC)I was looking at some photos of me in 12th grade, and I saw that I called myself "fat" back then. But I look at those photos, and look at myself today, and I want to bitchslap my younger self - She was so not "fat" - sure, at the high end of most retail clothing stores, but not quite Lane Bryant-sized (which I'm at the low/middle range, now). Sure, I was larger than my peers, but not by any significant margin!
What was I thinking?!
