I'm sure I've done this one before, but it seems longer and some of my answers have changed, so why the hell not.
1. Your Live Journal "user name" & what it means:
I would have liked to have "Raven" but it was obviously taken long ago, and I would also have liked "lonewolf" as a fairly accurate description of my personality, but I've grown very fond of the combination -
loneraven. It's a very simple play on words, it suits me, and I like it.
2. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest) how well does your Live Journal represent who you actually are?
About nine, I think, because I post just about everything, as most people know. It's not ten because I'm not at all outgoing in real life.
purplerainbow once asked me if it was true that Raven and me are the same person, which just about sums it up.
3. How much about your life do you post to LJ?
Everything. I just like keeping a journal, and paper ones don't work for me, so I use this online one. I don't know how it happened, but I ended up just writing down everything, which I like.
4. Is there anything you refuse to post about?
I do try to limit the TMI factor. Other than that, I don't bitch about people when I know they can see this!
5. On a scale of 1-10 how interesting do you think your own journal is to others?
God only knows. I'd say about five, as I mainly do nothing but ramble.
6. From who/how did you find out about LJ?
_detroit, back when she was
sprog. I'm glad she told me about it - it was one of those "your life will be different after today" moments.
7. Has anyone ever joined LJ because of you?
Yep.
cucharita got my original invite code. Apart from her, there were
chanandlerbong,
shipperkitten,
purplerainbow,
osiris13 and
hathy_col.
8. What proportion of your posts are friends only?
I would say about one in ten. I try to keep this a public journal as far as is possible, but sometimes I just know whoever I'm bitching about is going to stumble across the relevant entry and I figure it's better to be safe.
9. What is your favourite interest on LJ?
Not sure. Maybe slash.
10. How many missing questions have their been on this survey that you've had to make up yourself?
Um... what?
11. How often do you respond to/comment on other peoples' journals?
A few times a day. I do like making comments, when I have something to say, that is.
12. Do you prefer to write in your journal, read other journals?
I like doing both, I think. They're both parts of the LJ experience(!)
13. Have you ever had something mean said to you or been stalked, harassed, or got into an argument/flame war on LJ (or did it to someone else)?
Flamewar, yes. Back in the mists of time.
14. Have you ever banned someone from your journal?
Nope. Never had reason to.
15. Who are your favourite LJ friend(s) and why?
This is not a fair question. Um... I'm going to exclude my RL friends from this, and say
captain_kruger (he's a sweetheart)
scarlatti (for so mnay reasons), and
disc0nnect (she's so sweet, but she's been quiet lately). Have a sneaking fondness for
dixsept, too. Canoes and lemons and shotglasses... what's not to like?
16. How many of your LJ friends have you actually met?
A few.
_detroit,
chanandlerbong,
cucharita,
emerald_embers,
flickgc,
hathy_col,
kittysplitter,
lilka,
osiris13,
purplerainbow,
sexy_saba,
shipperkitten and
xtremeriotgrrl. Thirteen out of sixty-four.
17. Of all of the people on LJ you know of, who is the most like you?
That's another weird question. The answer can only be
purplerainbow, and I am not trying to be offensive...
18. Why are you most likely to add someone to your friends list?
Initially, I added people I knew in places other than LJ, because they added me first, they looked interesting, but I don't add people any more.
19. Do you automatically add friends to your journal if they add you first?
As in the previous question - I don't usually add people any more, even if they do add me. I do check them out, and if they prove to be very, very interesting, or perhaps people I already know from elsewhere, I add them, but that's not very often. It's nothing personal, it's because even sixty-four friends, which is how many I have at the moment, is too many to keep up with as well as I'd like.
20. What is the most likely reason you wouldn't add someone to your friends list?
They rite lyk dis!!!!111!lOMGLOL
21. Is your "significant other" on LJ?
Huh.
22. Have you ever wanted to meet someone on LJ?
Um... yes. Right at this moment I would like to meet just about everyone on my friends list.
End of meme, whoo-hoo.
