Spent midday at PoA with sff_corgi, like_bunnies and Jenna Who Has No LJ And Also Wore Pink (We Didn't Plan It). I think when tabithajones and I go next week, I will bring a magrarita.

Gacked, variously:


There's a huge chunk of you out there whose LJs I read every day - but in a lot of cases, I don't know how old a lot of you are, or where you live, or basic, normal things.

This is the problem with LJ - we all think we are so close, and while we know about the day-to-day, there's still a lot we don't know about each other. So let's rectify it.

I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. I promise, I will not make fun of you, or say who asked what; I won't divulge any social security numbers and stuff, but I'll try to answer everything - personal, fandom - whatever.

I then invite you to do the same. Remember, seriously basic stupid questions, don't be embarrassed, you would be really shocked what I don't know about you.

Also, do you like my new default icon? It's all thanks to friede! Look! I'm pink!

My parents are both longtime democrats, although my mother went through this really weird Oliver North Is Great phase, but it only lasted a month or so. My mother's grandma, who I am very close to, is also very liberal, although she'd been a registered republican since voting for Eisenhower. She changed during the Clinton impeachment, because she was so revolted by the whole thing.

But it was probably watching the 1984 and 1988 debates and conventions, which I saw in their entirities because of debate class (1984) and working for the local NBC affiliate (1988) that caused me to register Democratic when I was old enough, in 1989. I fell in love with Bill Clinton during that impossibly, incomprehensibly long speech he gave at the 1988 convention, and I wrote his name in red and blue on my keds. I wish I still had them...
