Writer's Block: Celebrating Friendships

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Okay, this one is easy for me. [livejournal.com profile] rebmommy.

Duh.

For me, I guess it would be [livejournal.com profile] fauxklore, whom I knew many years ago from Usenet, but only recently on LJ.

[identity profile] bercilakslady.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Similarly easy for me. [livejournal.com profile] skillethead

[identity profile] bercilakslady.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[livejournal.com profile] skillethead hasn't posted in years, but I've known Dad longer than anyone but Mom, who doesn't have an LJ. :)

Tie between [livejournal.com profile] rosemom and [livejournal.com profile] charlesplatt. Runner-up is [livejournal.com profile] afcahn, since my kindergarten best friend doesn't have an LJ.

[identity profile] xiphias.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I gave it to [livejournal.com profile] rebmommy, on the theory that Dad only met me at birth.

Mm, fair. Depends on what you mean by "met". I consider talking to a fetus to be about as much "meeting" as, say, getting to know someone online: distance causes loss of nuance but you can still gain some familiarity.

*collapses in delighted laughter*

This discussion is SO YOU. BOTH OF YOU.

[personal profile] rosefox 2009-04-24 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
*grin* Glad to provide entertainment!

[identity profile] xiphias.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's kind of the obvious discussion to have when one or more of one's parents have LiveJournals.

I mean, I think there are actually four or five people on my friends list who have been friends of my parents continuously since before I was born, and therefore might be able to be considered to have known me pre-nataly.

Of course, this whole discussion is NOT counting people who've known each other in past lives and so forth -- THAT could get even LONGER.

[identity profile] dancing-kiralee.livejournal.com 2009-04-25 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, especially if the two people in question don't agree about having met in a past life (or which one).

And what happens if you don't consider the timeline to be continuous, so one could live in the 16th century after living in the 19th?

I mean I get what your saying by chosing [livejournal.com profile] rebmommy, but I think I've known you in a previous life (and will know you in a future one too); but I'm pretty sure you don't think you've known me...

Well, if we're going to be technical about it (and you just know that I am), your Dad isn't on LJ, so he's not in the running anyway.

[identity profile] xiphias.livejournal.com 2009-04-25 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, true. However, you ARE in the running, since you ALSO met me pre-natally.

Just not QUITE as early as [livejournal.com profile] rebmommy.

Maybe more data than you need to know, but I mentioned to your mother the next morning that we weren't alone anymore. You didn't get to daylight for another eight months. Still, i don't have a LJ account, so maybe she still has the honor. Duzzy

[identity profile] yehoshua.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Not so easy for me. On one hand, there's [livejournal.com profile] lokitrickster who was in Aggressive Youth starting in about 1988 or '89. But he hasn't posted anything in years and years, and I think the account is fallow now. He's the guy in the middle of my userpic.

OTOH, there's [livejournal.com profile] zachkessin, who was the second or third person I met at Brandeis who wasn't a camp counselor AIDE Group leader.

If it's "who did I meet first?", it's [livejournal.com profile] jim_p, who I met when I was 13 and once again at (I think) 18, but then forgot he existed until I met him again over a decade later. As for who I've known the longest continuously, it's [livejournal.com profile] docwatson42, who I met in my junior year in high school. ([livejournal.com profile] kalessin remembers me from the same timeframe, but not I him.)

[identity profile] browngirl.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I *think* [livejournal.com profile] clauclauclaudia, via whom I met you, and I met you and WD at around the same time, and [livejournal.com profile] spinrabbit and [livejournal.com profile] sparkymonster my sophomore year.

[identity profile] wcg.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Obviously, for me it's [livejournal.com profile] pagawne. I've known her for just about 37 years now, and we've been married for a bit over 36 of them.

[identity profile] xiphias.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
You must have fallen in love pretty darned fast, to be married within a year of meeting.

[identity profile] wcg.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed we did.

[identity profile] nolly.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[livejournal.com profile] lylemullican is my brother, who I've known all his life, but he doesn't really use the account. Next would be [livejournal.com profile] trendywendy, who I met in our junior high drama club.

[identity profile] ailsaek.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
My sister's on LJ, so there's no contest.

[identity profile] jehanna.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
In my case it has to be [livejournal.com profile] lagaz, since we've known each other since we were 13.

[identity profile] micheinnz.livejournal.com 2009-04-25 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Probably [livejournal.com profile] browngirl.

[identity profile] felis-sidus.livejournal.com 2009-04-25 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[livejournal.com profile] rebmommy for me, too!
