aggienaut | Friendzy!

I thought I'd do something the lovely boxsofrain did a bit ago, and declare a Friendzy (Friending frenzy!). Actually I'm not sure she intended for it to work out quite like this but it did: (1) answer the following questions in a comment; (2) As Boxes says, "Also to make this more fun, feel free to read other peoples comments and reply to them with something nice about them. ... Make friends, add each other, mingle, just please be nice." (3) extra points if you mention the Friendzy in your own LJ and send people over to the party! (=

also, I really feel the urge to randomly comment on people's pictures with "you're hot," but I won't.

Yeah I have that effect on people ;D

Where's your picture from?

Rocky Mountain National Park, Labor Day Weekend

Sounds fun. You got more pictures from the park?

Yeah...most of them are here.

And other pictures from the same time frame are here, just down a few posts.

Most engineers I know are only funny by accident. You must be a special kind...?

way to stereotype people!

I'd say I'm more of an engineer by accident.

Me? Stereotype? Never. I do come from a family of engineers, though, and I made the mistake of dating one as well. Although I think the problem may have had more to do with him being a Scorpio. *shrugs*

I recently bought a shirt thats green witha big shamrock on it and it says "STEREOTYPE ME, I'M IRISH" (=

Seriously, just because I'm Irish doesn't mean I like to drink stout and wear a jaunty cap ... thats pure coincidence! haha d=

Don't forget the peacoats!

Hahaha yes, which I also wear whenever the temperature warrants it (ie I practically lived in it in Winter in Davis). Sometimes I really do feel like I'm TOO stereotypically Irish and I really don't try to be!!!! d=

Both my grandfathers were full-blooded Irish. No dearth of beer or corned beef at our family gatherings...

Stout or at least ale I hope!

Of course. That's only after they get tired of cognac, of course.

Hahaha. I haven't had much exposure to cognac. I know I dislike whiskey (which is counter-stereotypical I guess). When I was younger I used to swill vodka like water but now I'd say.. I don't dissslike it but I prefer spiced rum. Sailor Jerry for the win! But best of all my liquor of choice is... Ouzo!

stereotyping by career and astrological sign now? maybe this desire to categorize things and fit them into neat compartments is a symbol of YOUR inner desire to be an engineer.

Odd, isn't it? I need to call my therapist.

I'd call mine, but I think today is the day he goes bobbing for buttplugs...

*falls on own sword*

Oh, he's a big fan of falling on sword games, too...but typically not his own.

Honestly, I'm just happy I remembered that was your post. I'd say it was just because you're a photogenic female...but, really, I don't even remember who writes what among that group.

Ha. I think most people will remember that was MY post for a long, long time, unfortunately.

hmmmmmm considering the comments preceding this one I'm highly curious what this post of yours you're referring to is about.. o_O

yeah, I keep waiting to see if you top the 8000 comments you got. I'm not sure there is any way you can do it. It's a delicate balance to upset people in a way that they feel the need to spout off, as opposed to just write you off as a crazy. That onfire4thelord dude wrote something about being gay means you're going to hell once and it mostly went ignored.
