"I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Some of you I don't know at all because I didn't friend you back (yet?). Perhaps you haven't been around for long, 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..."

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."


So, dear f-list - give me some fun random facts about yourselves!

I'll start: I don't like memes. It's like when I find a greeting card that says exactly what I want to say to someone. I feel like I have to apologize for being trite. But I really would like to know you people.

Hi! Honestly, I can't remember who friended who first. I liked something you wrote, and I think maybe vice-versa, so we friended. I like short memes, I love storytelling, whether it's through writing, or music, or visual arts...I play a bit in each. I live in the Boston area. I followed a bunch of my favorite writers into the SGA fandom when I was just a lurker. I've only been posting my own stuff for about a year. I'm also dabbling in Torchwood, but I haven't posted anything yet. I'm 41, Wiccan, and I pay my bills working in insurance.

I friended you because of your writing and because you seemed to come on the scene around the same time I did.

I love storytelling too. The stories are what first attracted me to opera though a lot of opera librettos are, um, kind of stupid. But I like the operas with cursed rings and magic potions, heroes and dragons and all that.

I have mixed feelings about Torchwood. I'm a romantic at heart, I guess, and all this seemingly random jumping from bed to bed bores me. I guess I like the show overall since I keep watching it. I haven't read any Torchwood fanfiction that has really wowed me yet, but I'd like to.

Yeah, I've read a handful of Torchwood stories that I've enjoyed, but nothing's really hit me hard yet.

I'm looking forward to seeing what folks will come up with for torchwood_big_bang in the summer
