Yes, I've hit the last few friend-ofs!

It's party time! *passes out the cake and cookies*

Wow. Two posts on the same subject in one day. I'm getting repetitive. So I'll ask a question I *know* I've asked before:

Who are you?
How do you know me (if at all?)
How did you find me?
What's one interesting fact about yourself?
What's your least deep and dark fear?

I'm Uly, but if you know me in Real Life you call me Connie.
I am myself, so I don't really know me.
I found myself by looking down.
I'm not that interesting. Seriously. Um. I can count to 103 by primes.
I'm scared of lightning. Everyone knows or should know this.


Oh, and something else. I've long since disabled comment emails, since I rarely check my email, so if you say anything on a post that's midway down the page, it can take me a few days to find it. If it's off the page, I probably won't see it. If it's really important, please, don't worry about it, just put "I posted here" with the link on my most recent post.

I'm Spartacus. Erm, I mean Emma/E/EofS

I know you through Neocolours

I found you by following a link on lenny day last year. Well, not *you* specifically, Neocolours in general. You I found by reading your posts and finding you interesting and articulate. Which is why I started reading your journal.

Hmm... I think I've done the birthmark in my eye one before... Let's see... I have Osgood-Schlatter Disease in my right knee and have done since I was 10. Online sources tell me that it's temporary and usually clears up. News to me.

Least deep and dark fear? To many my spider/bug/worm/moth/creepy crawly fear would count there, since they'd view it as irrational and all that crap. But it's perfectly rational :0P So... Umbrellas I guess. I don't exactly fear them, but I go out of my way to avoid using them.

[conuly]

I have Osgood-Schlatter Disease in my right knee and have done since I was 10.

Even if I didn't know you were British, I would after that sentence.

What's that mean, anyway, Osgood-Schlatter Disease?

[eofs.livejournal.com]

Even if I didn't know you were British, I would after that sentence.

Did you know Sam once said almost exactly the same thing to me. May I ask why precisely that identified me as British?

What's that mean, anyway, Osgood-Schlatter Disease?

As far as I'm concerned, it means that when I was ten the cartlidge at the base of my right knee became swollen (ow ow ow ow ow ow) forming a bump. This meant that I had to give up all sport for a while and in a more longterm way that certain activites remained painful/difficult for some years. Over time it has ossified and I now have a lump of bone there. These days it doesn't give me any pain *but* it is prominent and therefore bruises well (if you track my journal over time, or ever talk to me in person you will discover that I more frequently complain of bad bruises on my right knee than left.) Striking it is considerably more painful than striking my other knee.

I only recently realised just how much it has impacted my life though. I *still* favour kneeling on my left knee over my right (for some years I couldn't kneel on my right at all) and if I kneel on both I put my weight on the left. But the most seemingly innocuous way is when I do falls on stage. This was highlighted in my recent theatre project when I *had* to fall to my right. Previously I had assumed that I always fell to my left out of a combination of habit and knowing how to do that. After being forced to fall to my right I discovered that it's also because my left is used to it, so it doesn't hurt any more. Let me tell you, having to fall (well, be slammed down) to my right repeatedly... that HURT. I got some very nasty bruising. It's nice though because after about three weeks of this treatment my right leg became accustomed to the falls, so I can do them either way. But I did get absolutely horrendous bruising to my knee where I was falling directly onto the bone (I skinned it during one performance *winces*

That's what Osgood-Schlatter Disease means to me. If you google it the top couple of articles both call it temporary and make no mention of ossification. *Shrugs* I don't call 8 years temporary...

[conuly]

Ow. Are you sure it isn't something else entirely?

As for what identified you as British, you said "I have done since I was ten". An American would never say that, we'd say "I have since I was ten". I am 87% confident that this is the useage in Canada as well, though I can't speak for Australia/New Zealand/anywhere else.

[firingneurons.livejournal.com]

I'm Ashley, though more commonly known as Ki in the online world.

I met you on Neopets, a long while ago (1 year and.. 3 months ago to be pretty much exact)

I found you looking through Cait's list of friends, wondered where you'd gotten to too! (I've missed you :()

An interesting fact.. Would be.. Hmm, probably the fact that although I'm a 17 year old girl I have more computer accessories than I do 'girl' accessories, such as make-up, purses, shoes (one pair going on two years, woo!), etc..

I am afraid of spiders, and beetles, which are both rational, I had a couple spider stalkers over the summer (that was fun.. ish..). And I am also 'scared' of ants, I hate them, I hate them with a passion, they creep me out.

[eofs.livejournal.com]

Interesting. Languages are fascinating, aren't they.

Ow. Are you sure it isn't something else entirely?

Well until about an hour ago I'd never questioned the diagnosis ;0) So... I dunno. I guess it could be something else. *Shrugs* It never occured to me before.

[conuly]

I missed you too! Y'know, Xiggy's on here as well. And, um, other people.

[padawank.livejournal.com]

Who are you?--Kersti A. Francis
How do you know me (if at all?) Erm... Through LJ?
How did you find me? Seeing someone on my friends's list link to you.
What's one interesting fact about yourself? I have many acedemic achicments, and I can make farting noises with my hands.
What's your least deep and dark fear? Fear itself

[polaris-starz.livejournal.com]

I am polaris_starz, because at the time I got my journal I was madly in love with stargazing and Sirius and Polaris are my favorite stars. The "z" now annoys me, and I think it's only there because it's the same as my AIM account, which had the "z" because "polaris_stars" was taken.

I don't know you very well, but I found you through [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and thought your journal was interesting, and you welcomed me when I friended you so here I am. ^^

One interesting fact... I plan to be a professional writer and/or editor, and move to Ireland when I've got enough money. I don't want to marry, and want to have a giant library.

My least deep and dark fear is my fear of spiders, which I'm sorry to say cause me to leap as far away as possibly and gibber until someone kills or puts the spider outside.

[joeymew.livejournal.com]

I am the fuzzy purple Joey.
I think I know you pretty well. Not nearly as much as other people, but you're not a stranger.
Neocolours, I think. I believe I met you there before I started I/Sing.
I can speak chibi.
I think it's my fear of needles. Everyone knows about it.

[morganne13.livejournal.com]

I am Morganne, cause I love arthurian legend and anne is my middle name.
Just on lj.
I don't remember. Probably in response to you saying something interesting or funny somewhere.
I collect keychains and I have about 378....I think....or 379?
Fear of heights......

[feathered.livejournal.com]

I wanted to reply to this, but I've been thinking about it for the past hour or so and can't come up with a satisfactory interesting fact. Maybe mine can be that I can't even come up with something interesting about myself that hasn't already been plastered everyone. That's interesting .... right?

Anyway, yeah. Clara/Figment. Know you from NC, met you there, don't recall how I found the site to begin with but I've been there a while. My least deep dark fear would have to be of orange, naturally. I was going to say moths .... but I am deathly afraid of them, making it pretty dark and deep.

[conuly]

And yet, you brave it to post here. *hugs*

[neotino911.livejournal.com]

Who are you?
My name is Augustine, but I go by Tino

How do you know me (if at all?)
You use to post on neoitems. Haven't seen you on there for ages though. I sure do miss ya over there~_^

How did you find me?
Err...

What's one interesting fact about yourself?
I'm partially nocturnal ^-^;;

What's your least deep and dark fear?
Least? Um...heights

[conuly]

How do you know me (if at all?)
You use to post on neoitems. Haven't seen you on there for ages though. I sure do miss ya over there~_^

I had some... issues with the webmistress. And now I'm a mod over at Neocolours so that's where I go more of the time.

[strangelette.livejournal.com]

Who are you? I'm Anne, although I usually use Nemoricultrix most everywhere I have no qualms about people calling me Anne online.
How do you know me (if at all?) Via neocolours intially
How did you find me? I was bored so I clicked through all the LJs on the NC thread, you looked interesting and it looked like we had at least a few things in common.
What's one interesting fact about yourself? Err, I really dislike this question. I'm very dull.
What's your least deep and dark fear? Bugs. If you know me at all you've probably heard me reference my dislike of crawly things.

[rachelkachel]

I'm Rachel/oogabooga, Moose Advocate.
I know you from Neocolours.
I found you by finding NC, which was recommended to me by Kelly who's in my guild. I found my guild, if you're curious, by reading the Neopian Times. And I found the NT by finding Neopets, which was recommended to me by my cousin from New Jersey...
I can solve a Rubik's cube. Is that interesting?
I have a fear of talking to strangers, unless I never have to meet them in person.

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

Who are you? - oloriel, obviously. Or do you mean, who I really am? I'll tell you if I ever find out...

How do you know me (if at all?) - Hm... I know what you wrote in your bio. I know what you wrote about the last few days. I suppose I don't know you at all...

How did you find me? - I found your live journal because you were metaquoted,

What's one interesting fact about yourself? - I'm not interesting. Well, maybe that I can learn poems and whole passages from books by heart without much trouble, but don't have a memory for vocabulary. Strange but true.

What's your least deep and dark fear? - Institutions - for no reason really. I'm just afraid of anything official.

[staircase-wit.livejournal.com]

Who are you?
I am Kaiden Fox, the Super Sexy Satanic Savant.

How do you know me (if at all?)
I've spoken to you on AIM, and of course read your journal for a while.

How did you find me?
asperger

What's one interesting fact about yourself?
I enjoy adultry.

What's your least deep and dark fear?
Pickles. I hate, and fear, pickles.

[eofs.livejournal.com]

You were on Neotiems? In which case, I probably met you there. I never remembered that (I'm awful at remembering people.)

[joeno.livejournal.com]

Well, to add to the list. I'm Joeno (IRL: Jeroen). Not Joe, which many people seem to think by looking at my nickname. I'd probably use a different capitalization then.
I know you from Neocolours originally (under the same nick), read about the Livejournals there, looked through some, found out that you didn't need those sign-up codes anymore, signed up, joined the NC community here, and we ended up on each other's friends lists eventually.
Interesting? Me? Well, I could say that I like physics, and am planning on becoming a physics teacher currently, but some might call that insanity instead.
A fear.. well, I've got this strange, irrational fear of birds. I don't know why, but it's just there.

[parashiggy.livejournal.com]

Who are you?:In the Real Wrold, they call me Sophie, Soph or Phi.
How do you know me (if at all?):First met you I/S, then, came to Neocolours.
How did you find me? When we shared the LJ names :)
I hate skirts, but, there is a single occasion I wear one. You guessed it, it's in...gym class. It's a small red pareo with dolphins prints. I hate shorts.
What's your least deep and dark fear?:I have the fear of heights. Really. I'm afraid of animal-transmitted diseases also.

What's one interesting fact about yourself?
I can paint using acid mixtures.
What's your least deep and dark fear?

Ohh, I see. I thought that might have been the reason you left. Oh well, I understand how that is. It's hard to enjoy things when you're having some issues with someone.
But i've heard Neocolours is a good forums. I just might give it a try:)
