Leave a comment and I will...

1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with a song/film.
3. Tell a random fact about you.
4. Tell a first memory about you.
5. Associate you with a character/pairing.

7. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours [if it pertains].
8. If you like, post this meme in your own LiveJournal afterwards

Though I can't promise 2 or 5, since I don't watch a lot of films or television or listen to much music.

And I started to learn Klingon because I was a Star Trek fan and then I found that dictionary in a shop. At that time I would have bought anything Star Trek related. Thought it was a joke, but when I read it, I understood that it was really a language. Later on, when I found the KLI online I was so fascinated by the fact that I understood what they were saying on the mailing list, that I continued to learn Klingon. All the books that came out were really cool as well, though I didn't manage to really read all of Hamlet or paghmo' tIn mIS. Only ghIlghameS I read completely.
Being in the Khemorex Klinzhai (http://www.klingons.org) helped as well, there are a lot of people interested to learn, even though only a few managed to learn enough to talk to in Klingon.
Right now I'm not that much into Klingon any more, not that much going on in the KLI as well. Though I enjoy using it from time to time, and I'm still using pojwI' to improve my vocab. But I'm busy learning other languages.

even though only a few managed to learn enough to talk to in Klingon.

That was the impression I got as well -- many enthusiasts about Klingon culture, some of whom are interested in the language, too, but few of whom actually learn enough to carry on a conversation. (Though my sample size was, admittedly, small.)

[nitaq.livejournal.com]

I say the samples you got were as interested in Klingon as it gets in this club. They all SAY they want to learn Klingon, but when they notice it's a real language and not some kind of trick they don't want to put any effort into it.

1. I met you through support and liked you fairly quickly - an enthusiastic fresh volunteer whom I thought I'd take under my wing a bit.
3. I sometimes have to remind myself that you're not thirteen any more... it's like a cousin or niece that you only really see once in a while and you wonder how they've grown.
4. Talking to you about making out with C between the books at the library, and trying to point out why this could be a bit unfair for him.
6. What do you see yourself doing in a year's time? Three years? Five? Ten?
7. Hmmm... I don't know your current icons that well. Possibly .

[joyitude.livejournal.com]

4 - You were right about that, by the way. I'm sure that you know that, though. Even though I probably ranted and railed against you at the time, thanks for telling me that. :)
6 - Oh dear.
One year - In one year, I hope to be still taking some college classes, but not to the point where I'm actually enrolled in college full-time. I hope to be working a different job because the world of jobs opens up tremendously when you turn 18. Hopefully I'll be doing something like working at an organic food store or a bookstore or a candle shop or something else that I'd really enjoy. I'll probably still be living at home in a year's time, as I'll be 18, almost 19, and that's an acceptable age to be living with your parents. In a year I hope to have decided whether or not I'm going to do something along the lines of the Peace Corps or Mercy Corps or Americorps or something that ends with corps. :P However, I probably won't actually be involved with that in a year's time.
Three years - In three years, I'll almost be 21. This means that Daniel will be 19. If my relationship with him lasts that long (which I really hope it does), in three years we'll probably be living together. He'll be going to college by then, and I probably will be too. If I'm not, I'll be involved with one of the -corps programs, or I'll have just completed it. We'll have travelled the world by then, because we've both always wanted to do that. If we haven't travelled the world, we won't be in college yet. Travelling comes before college in our books. (Not in importance, but chronologically.) Beyond that, I don't know what else we'll be doing. Oh, and this is assuming that his band doesn't make it big or anything. (It actually has a decent chance of becoming something really big at this point...they're being approached about a lot of really awesome stuff that I'm not at liberty to mention yet, but it's definitely Really Cool Stuff.)
Five years - Probably roughly the same stuff as three years along, really. Hopefully Daniel and college. I'll be almost 23 and he'll be 21, so Daniel and college seems like a reasonable guess.
Ten years - This is the fun one. In ten years, I'll be almost 28 and he'll be 26. Again, assuming that we're still together by then (which, although it may not be as realistic as I hope, I really do hope that we will be), we'll be out of college and in whatever careers we decided to pursue. I'll probably be doing something in psychology, and I'm not entirely sure what he'll be doing. Ten years from now, we'll probably be married. Either I'll be pregnant in ten years, or we'll already have a child. I'm not sure which. Beyond that, I really don't know. I'm relatively okay with whatever my life holds, I just hope that Daniel's there. Even if he isn't, I'll still be okay and happy. :)

Me! Me! :-)

1. Ah, this one is tough! I think you were the second person I friended on LiveJournal (the first being the person who gave me the first invite code), so this was a long time ago. You were definitly still jerzeegrrl back then. I was someone else, though :) Didn't switch to this journal until after friending you (though I friended you again from pne). I don't remember for sure where I found you (though I suspect linguaphiles) or why I added you, other than you probably seemed interesting. I never hoped to be friended back, but after a while, you did. Can you remember why you friended me?
2. Notting Hill comes to mind, just based on American-woman-loves-British-man.
3. Goodness, this question is tough! This meme probably works best when people's flists consist mostly of people they know IRL. Hm. You seem a take your profession seriously and want to carry it out in a professional manner, which is good.
4. I can't remember anything specific from the beginning. The earliest thing that comes to mind is your Avatar-from-video userpic (which I see you still has), and seeing that for the first time and liking the face.
6. Do you have plans for children?
7. Your Avatar-from-video.

Re: #6

[sparkofcreation.livejournal.com]

Well, a year ago I've had said absolutely, definitely, positively not, but lately the idea is slightly less abhorrent than it was.I've never really wanted my own kids, but I've thought of adopting once in a while, so maybe. But still leaning towards no. We'll see how things go with the apnea treatment before we make a definite decision.

[bluewingedcat.livejournal.com]

Yar!

[pne.livejournal.com]

1. Your postings in customers_suck from your time at BK.
2. Some superhero film (maybe Superman), because I sometimes think of you as Sarah on the outside, with a secret identity on the inside. (I've occasionaly fantasised(sp?) what it would be like to come up to you with a magic mirror that shows your reflection as a blue, winged cat and wondering what your reaction would be.)
3. You seem to have bad luck occasionally with your housing situation.
4. Reading about you asking someone not to mention your real full name in connection with your journal. (They spelled your last name wrong, though.)
6. Nothing comes to mind just now.
7. Your default. Partly because it's been your default for so long that I've come to associate it most with you. I generally like things that stay the same.

[lnbw.livejournal.com]

Ooh, me!

[pne.livejournal.com]

1. You have the same birthday as I do! And I found it an interesting coincidence to see a name on ZBB that I had seen before on LiveJournal. I think you were one of the first half-dozen or so friends I made on LiveJournal, too. (Under your other username back then, of course.)
3. I think it's nifty that you knit.
4. Nothing specific comes to mind.
6. Tell me about Mina Yi and Minakochan, and I think there was someone else with a similar name. They seemed to show up a fair bit in journal entries but I never quite figured out who they were. Roommates? Friends? From where?
7. Your "Eowyn" picture.

[lnbw.livejournal.com]

I don't have too many icons these days, so I guess #7 wasn't hard. (Or was really hard!) :)

minayi is a friend of mine from high school, and she was also a roommate in college. minakochan is an LJ friend; someone asked if I knew her, and said that we had a similar tone in our LJ posts, so I friended her. This was... several years ago; it's been a while!

[pne.livejournal.com]

Haha - I'm glad I read the comment notification email first, since apparently she's renamed her journal, and I totally didn't recognise that username.

So there is no connection between the two, then.

[lnbw.livejournal.com]

Whoops -- I forgot about the name change. redshoeson used to be minakochan. I'm not sure who the third is.

[lysora]

hello :)

[pne.livejournal.com]

Hello there!

I friended you because you friended me, and because of the help you gave me back when we both still did support. I remember asking you questions fairly often, mostly about customisation (back when that was "custy gunk"), and that I learned a fair bit from you.

I know rather little about you.

And I thought that satiredichotomy (underscore?) was easier to remember how to spell than liliaceous.

[leighbug]

Me!

1. I first met you in a community we both comment in (probably mock_the_stupid: I noticed your name was Amy, just like our daughter's. So I poked around your profile and journal a little and found your Flickr account, with pictures of little Zoë (also a name I rather liked) and things that pointed to German descent -- lots of little things that we kind of "had in common". So I decided to add you.

2. Fly Away Home (http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0116329/), because the protagonist's name is Amy. (I think the film is also partly responsible for Amy's name, since Stella knew the name mostly from the film, called Amy und die Wildgänse "Amy and the Wild Geese" in German.)

3. I find it nifty that you nursed Zoë even after the age where many (at least here in Germany) stop (around five or six months old, perhaps).

4. Seeing your picture "Three generations of Goschs".

6. How do you pronounce "Gosch"?

7. . Though your precipitate/solution pic strikes my fancy since that tagline is one I used as an email and Usenet .sig for years (I just don't like the image that much).

[leighbug]

The 'o' is long, like when you're saying the English alphabet. It's pronounced like 'gauche'. Or like 'left' in French. That's probably the best I can describe it, since I don't know all the pronunciation symbols like you do! It's definitely not 'gosh'!

*comment*

Didn't you have a meme about the favourite user pic only a short time ago?

[pne.livejournal.com]

Didn't you have a meme about the favourite user pic only a short time ago?

That's possible; I know I posted such a meme at some point but don't remember how long ago it was.

[elgrande.livejournal.com]

Ok. Please also tell me the answers to this meme about me as far as applicable.

[pne.livejournal.com]

I feel that I don't know you well enough to do so.

[elgrande.livejournal.com]

Ok.
