Peer pressure

Yes, I finally succumbed. Don't be disappointed if I never write anything interesting here, though; it's just for the friends list.

However, as a reward for anyone who notices that this is here, I'll try to do that meme where you comment and I reply by telling you (1) whatever randomly comes to mind about you, (4) something which doesn't make sense to many people other than you and me, (5) my first clear memory of you, and (7) something I wonder about you, as well as what (2) song, (3) flavor, and (6) vowel I associate with you. Well, I'll try, anyhow.

Yeah.

—AJD, finally back in Philadelphia

(Update: I suppose I've stopped doing this by now.)

Whyever not?

1. So far, you're the only person I've seen doing this meme who actually used (7) to tell people what you wondered about them, without necessarily actually asking it. Thank you for mine, by the way.
2. "Come Up to My Place".
3. Cinnamon, I think.
4. Maybe some Lunchables?
5. Well, the earliest thing I can actually think of is you and Matt singing "Come Up to My Place", at the tech week run-through. But I had already known you for many months by that point; I'm not sure why I can't remember anything specifically earlier.
6. I feel like I want to give you a syllabic sonorant, which is pretty much equivalent to a vowel for most purposes. In particular, [ɱ]. (It should look like an m with a tail.) This is a nasal like [m], but articulated with your top teeth on your bottom lip (as if it were [f]) instead of with your lips closed together. Some people use this sound for the first syllable in the word emphatic.
7. I guess I wonder, do you know what you intend for your next, like, major step to be? Or are you playing it by ear for a while?
