Chacham's Journal: Nonsense: [Meme] This is more interesting than Digg...

Well, i responded to insanecarbonbasedlif's JE and he responded first. (I also reponded to stoolpigeon's, smitty_one_each's, and Degrees'.

To repeat, basically

1. Tell you why I befriended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc..
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. In return, you must post this in your Journal.

Because i responded, i have to post this. I ought to read *all* the instructions first. :)

Anyway, my answers wouldn't be interesting. Because in general,

1. I don't remember
2. there's very little association
3. i don't remember
4. i doubt i have one
5. i'm not sure i want to know,
6. i don't care if you post this in your own JE.

But, i will try. However, i will offer a second set of items, to make up.

1. Associate you nick with something.
2. Associate your uid with something.
3. Ask something you've always wanted to know about me.

is the best policy. This has been a fun walk down memory lane for me though - this little meme.

*sniff* taking me to task like this.

Ok, Ok, lets have some fun.

Tell you why I befriended you.
I don't remember

I can only guess because i enjoy reading your posts. Um, not the flurry of JE of late, but your comments. I just befriended he who seems nice or interesting.

I rarely think of your nick as it is. Currently, your are associated with those annoying never-ended flow JEs, which i feel compelled to take not

I see everything as a part of my religious life. I just had a discussion with someone about that the other day- kind of funny. I don't believe in sacred vs. secular. I think everything is sacred. We were discussing a part in the Bible that talks about doing metal work as a spiritual thing. (Exodus 35 and 36 - building the tabernacle)

I also don't like the distinction of clergy vs. laity. I think everyone who comes into a relationship with God is a priest. I think of whatever I do as ministry -

Nice answer.

I do not mind if you go longer. I just don't feel i could actually ask for that. And i might not be willing to do the same thing myself.

Do you mean *for* a spiritual purpose.

I want them to know that if they are interested, I'm always willing to share my view on things - but don't want them to think I'm going to shove that down their throat.

I think i am mostly of the same approach.

Thanx for responding. Y

It's definitely hard

[insanecarbonbasedlif]

And memory plays tricks - but it's been fun. I already got to ask you a question, so I don't really feel the need to ask you another one right away. Maybe I will someday, and I'll bring it up again. I'm interested in the associations, though!

I just remember your posts. You probably got technical at some point.

Other than the lesser amount of JEs, i probably think of you and stoolpigeon the same way (nick on slashdot wise, not other interests). Though, he seems more sympathetic.

Note, that is just a feeling i get. Whether or not it has basis in reality, is irrelevant, and similar/dissimilar in my mind a

If you were able to reprogram the Ark of Truth, and have it affect everyone on Earth. Would you use it, and for what?

If there were a way to forbid people from physically or emotionally harming other people without destroying the rest of free will, then I would - I'm not sure there's an unassailable set of "values" I could put in the Ark of Truth that would result in that, though.

That's an end, not a command. :) Besides, no harm would impede doctors or divorces, and who knows what else. Though, i think i get the gist. Thanx for responding.

How about "Respect others as you want them to respect you."?
