Flist meme

Nicked off half my flist:

Comment and I'll...
1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, 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. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LJ.

1. Tell you why I friended you.
Er - this is where I get very embarrassed and admit I can't remember. It's weird, because we haven't really talked very much, have we? But I always read your entries. I'm just not very good at commenting. Sorry! I think maybe you commented on some of my fics and I'd been noticing you over at Becky's at the for a while and decided to friend a fellow Buffy fan?

2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
Tara, because of your journal theme.

3. Tell you something I like about you.
You like Buffy and Doctor Who! Great combination!

4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
You posted about the Whoville party thread - and I was all high from playing some really great threads that day and we squeed together!

5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
Is your name really Anna?

6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
Oooh, you have so many gorgeous ones! But the Numfar one has to get top place. I love the dance of joy. *g*

That's okay--I tend to be awful at commenting, too.

Is your name really Anna?

My middle name is, yes. Anna1 was my username over at TrekBBS--I posted there for a few years, before discovering LJ. I stuck that in the subtitle so people would be able to figure out who I was, if they were from there and found my journal. Hated that username, too. I went through a dozen trying to register over there, tried that one, and it actually got through.

My first name is Rachel.

And here's that Numfar icon for you.

Ah, right. Anna's not a particularly common name, so I thought the chances of having an Anna on my flist were fairly low. Actually, I don't think I've ever seen it used as a middle name.

Rachel, though... I had two best friends called Rachel at school. Rachels and Annas seem to go together. :-)

My Mom actually almost named me Lacey. The woman giving birth in the next bed was naming her kid Rachel. However, they each liked the other's name better, so Mom took Rachel for me, and the other lady took Lacey.

Later, Mom discovered that there are at least two or three other Rachel Anna's in the family, so it's apparently freakishly common for us.

Sidenote: She used the Biblical spelling of the name, so that I wouldn't have to spell it for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, every other person named Rachel spelled it as Racheal, Rachal (someone actually spelled it that way), Rachell, or Rachael, so I pretty much do have to spell it for everyone. *laughs*

Hee, that's funny! :-)

And maybe spellings like that are more of a US thing? Virtually every Rachel I know spells it like that - and I know a LOT of them! *g*

Or it could be an age thing. You're nine years younger than me - maybe everyone got fed up with spelling it the normal way!
