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.

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.

*grin* Glad to provide entertainment!

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.

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
