Over the past ten years, many friendships have started and/or been renewed on LiveJournal. Of your current LJ friends, who have you known the longest?

I think its [info]prufrockslove which would have been VERY early in the eljay sphere. because i loved TS Eliot, especially in HS, and when I searched for him, I found shana.

also, [info]skirril though, i can tell how long we have been good friends, bc we have been friends as long as she has been married to [info]unwesen

oh, and [info]hakerh but that is because i know her in real life. so she is probably definitely my longest, since we have been friends since freshman year of high school :). same with

OH and [info]keibatsu bc i was friends with Kent BEFORE i got aim!. so in terms of JUST eljay, he might be the longest
though i dont talk to him anymore, which is sad. he is hilarious

and of course I am "closest" to [info]zoradiveteam as he is my life partner :)

Do you behave differently online than you do in real life?

Submitted By [info]tinysaur


View other answers



im not sure.
in real life i can be quiet and shy in places i dont know. but around friends or in situations i am comfortable, i can relax and talk and be fine.


but if i just pretend i am comfortable, then im still fine.

online, i just go straight to comfortable from the get go. if you didnt want to be somewhere online, you should leave so its pretty easy to go where you want.

Do you think people deserve second chances?

Submitted By [info]drea12301994


View other answers



as i am with justin after the fuckup year of 2006
yes i think people deserve second chances.

but it does depend on the person and on how they fucked up the 1st chance.

you don't get a 2nd chance just because. you get it because you are sad and sorry about how the first chance went about and want a different and better ending.

If you knew that a friend's significant other was cheating on him or her, would you tell your friend the truth or keep it to yourself?


View other answers



some relationships would still work even with the cheating. mine wouldnt. i would want someone to tell me.


i would probably tell. id like to think that in my group of friends we really dont have any cheaters... so i hope it wont be an issue

What's the story behind your username?


View other answers


Oddly enough, my boss asked me this Q today.

I was a freshman in HS (previously I was using Will O'the Wisp) and I needed a username for a 1st person shooter game to play with pat and mike. None of my ideas were available, and the computer suggested this one.

I have been GracefulShrimp since... 1997! go team me :)

If you won the lottery, what would you do with your newfound riches?

Submitted By [info]kimbereli09


View other answers


I had this all planned at one point.

I would make a 250,000$ donation to the local animal shelter. to be used for care and to add to the spay/nueter campaign.
I would buy a house (more of a modular/mobile home for my mother and brother and set up a "trust" to pay for all bills, so that basically she has 20k a year to live and pay bills but no real worries.
Justin and I would build the house that Justin wants, a Dome house. but on enough property that my moms house could be away but near.

I would become a silent partner in my horse stable to enable a new barn and facilities to be built there. Additionally the farm would enlarge to include a rehabilitation/training center for abused horses. that would be a sticky part. i might instead just donate to one of the current programs already running in NH.

i would create a vet fund, with at least enough money that the interest earned would always cover routine visits, and yet have enough money to cover emergencies.
I would do a LOT more with kayden.
i would not work, but would go to the farm more often and possibly take up more dog obedience and agility with kayden.

i would pay Katherine 30k a year to be my cook. so that she could have an easy life, but I could still enjoy her cooking :)

basically, I would set up my family, and any close friends that really need it (ie Katherine and Lynn), and set up the animals in my life, and the animals in my state, and then review.
the only real change in my life would be the working. but that would be fine because i would have the stables, and the dog work. i would love it


oh yeah, a FENCED IN BACK YARD.
if i could win 10k right now, we would pay off justins school loans and misc debt from the house (not mortgage because that is tax deductible) and BUILD A FENCED IN BACK YARD.
yeah

If you could live one day in your life over and over, which day would it be?


View other answers



I would say almost any of my days in Scotland. That was such an amazing trip. driving through scotland, stopping whenever we wanted and just taking a walk.


however, justin wasnt in my life then. i can remember 2 days in which i turned to justin and i said how much i wanted to remember *this moment* because i felt completely happy then.

and i also know exactly what day id like to not live over and over. but that wasnt the question, was it :)
