It’s been a while since I did this one, and I rather enjoyed it then. Lots of new people on my friends list since then, and I’m sure those who participated last time have new questions to ask.
So basically, the rules are: ask me anything you like. No subject is offensive or off limits.
Discworld: Which Ankh-Morpork City Watch Character are YOU?

Real content soon, promise! If I can just kick this damn cough!
So the big buzz today is how the person who put together the “Secret Crush” meme is now offering to reveal the contents of zir database for a mere $4:
Who has a crush on  autographedcat?The below numbers indicate what sorta crushes autographedcat‘s friends have on him, as taken from the results of the original LJ Secret Crush Meme.Questions? Please read the FAQ. |

2 people have a Secret Crush on autographedcat. 3 people have a Public Crush on autographedcat. 1 people have an Ex-Crush on autographedcat. |
| How many people have a crush on you? |
As I’ve commented elsewhere, I’m not entirely sure whether to be amused or disgusted. On the one hand, the person didn’t disclose when they collected this information that they would offer to release it to third parties. In fact, I don’t even recall if they indicated that the information would be stored. So there’s a certain amount of justification to feeling that somehow this person is doing something a bit underhanded to raise cash. And their FAQ makes them out to be a complete prat.
On the other hand, I just can’t quite manage to get all up in arms about it. I mean, when I took the meme in the first place, I didn’t really take it very seriously — no more than “What LOTR Character are you?” — and I don’t think anyone else did either. Anyone who’s really upset that this info might get disseminated needs a quick tutorial in “Not Giving Personal Information To Anonymous Parties On The Internet.”
So yeah, it’s wrong. But it’s wrong in a very small potatoes kind of way. I doubt if there’s enough low-self-esteem casualties desperate enough to pay for the names of their “secret crushes” to make the guy more than about a hundred bucks, so I don’t see any reason to expend too much energy in getting upset over it.
On the other hand, I admit that I am *curious* who the folks who listed me are. (Hey, i’m just as shallow as the next person! *G*) Don’t think I’m curious enough to spend four bucks, though. So let me know if you wanna.

Seen a lot of people doing this list of the 100 Top Movies from imdb.com. So here’s the list of the one’s I’ve seen — goodness, but I’ve watched a lot of movies.
So I saw this bit in agrumer‘s journal, suggesting that a person take a random line from each of the last 50 non-private/screened entries on your friends list and arrange them into a poem.
I quickly abandoned the original rules — there’s a lot of fluff on my friends list that doesn’t lend itself well to the idea. But I did find 20 lines scrolling through that made a nifty sort of sense, so I thought I would post it here rather than abandon it all.
Meandering
I’ve become pretty good at guarding my heart,
But all of that is beside the point, I guess.
As you can see, I am not making much sense;
That said, I think I need to spend some time writing.
I had meant to write lots of things yesterday —
I might make more sense the following day.
This weekend I did nothing.
Today, I’m probably just hanging out at home.
You have nothing better to do with your time?
I need to get work done before I can sleep for the night
But I am left with one question:
Do you see wave-patterns every time you close your eyes?
It was quite cold last night,
and skim ice formed in the wheelbarrow outside.
Now i want to paint my walls silver.
So that’ll be fun.
Tomorrow, a quiet day ideally intended for reflection
but if I am honest with myself probably mostly spent asleep,
I pray that You find yourself within yourself;
Today I’m going to try writing instead.
I did this one back in April, but since it’s going around again, I figured I’d reprise my answers from back then. The only ones I’ll change are the ones where the question has changed since last time:
…found in bardling‘s journal:
In a comment sum up your thoughts about me in one word. Then put this on your journal to see what everyone else thinks of you.
A meme! A palpable meme! Taken from gridlore, who obviously has his finger on the pulse of the cool kids these days! (Slight addition to question six, to make it less “yes or no”).
1. How did you first find my journal?
2. Why did you originally decide to friend me?
3. What’s your favorite part of my journal?
4. What’s your least favorite part of my journal?
5. Ask me a question. Be as random as you want.
6. Have you ever met me in person? If you have, what’s your favourite memory involving me?
