"Do You Remember Meeeeeeeeeeme"

[dr4b]

Hi, I answered in zqfmbg and megami's journals so in theory I have to post this here. And in turn if you answer, like every other ANSI Standard Meme, you post it in yours. Etc.

"Add a comment to this journal telling me what you remember about first meeting me (online most certainly counts; if you have a choice between online and in person, I'll request the most amusing :-) I'll respond to each comment with my memories of you."

I was visiting CMU, and I thought you were one of the reasons why shawn was Not Interested In Me Again, so I was all prepared to be intimidated by you. Then you had a really cool shirt and really cool hair and you weren't intimidating at all, so I stopped being scared. :)

Oh no, you're kidding... I never knew about the Shawn half of it. Especially since he wasn't interested in me as far as I knew. I remember meeting you mostly as "Shawn's cool friend Wednesday who draws anime people", back when anime still meant Ranma 1/2 to me.

But the funny part is, you met me while I was still coming off of four months of virtual anorexia; I remember you describing me as "tall, skinny, long hair, wears long hippie skirts a lot" on that random "Do you know Deanna?" thread on the BOFH or Linux or whatever mailing list... and at the time I was not skinny at all, had short hair, and had given up on skirts. I hadn't heard anyone describe me as skinny in at least 4-5 years at that point :(

I couldn't be certain of that one way or the other now. What I know was that he talked about you enthusiastically and glowingly, and I put two and two together, because that's how it tended to go.

I remember that thread now -- it was on a bofh.* newsgroup of some sort. But. Y'know, every time I see a picture of you now, you still look skinny to me. Or, at least, "definitely not fat."
