BASICS
Name, Age: Simon. 41. Geezus. How did that happen. I've apparently been on LJ for twelve and a half years. I suddenly feel ancient.
Current Location: Highlands of Scotland.
Hometown: Highlands of Scotland.
Gender identity & Orientation: Straight white male.
Religious/Spiritual Identity: Straight white... wait. Filthy pagan heretic.
Political Identity: Straight whi.... No. Filthy socialist.
Significant other, kids?: Not married anymore (hurrah!), no kids. (Hurrah!)

Major in college, if applicable: I'm British so I neither majored in anything nor went to college. I do however have an MA(hons) in Archaeology from Edinburgh University.

WHO YOU ARE
What are you passionate about?: Nothing. I am cold and dead inside.
What are you interested in?: It feels kind of redundant to copy/paste my LJ interests list in here. In truth there's not many things that I'm not interested in. The world is an interesting place full of odd and curious things.
What are your hobbies?: I enjoy the hills. Solitude ( ... )

I think we might get on as LJ friends. Want to give it a try?

Sure! Sorry about the delay, I'm just getting caught up on all of this now. This friending meme turned out to be a lot busier than I expected it to be. :)

Just adding you now...

I've been on LJ since 2000!

Here's my response from last year's friending frenzy. Wanna be friends?

Since 2000? Crikey, that's impressive. That must have been well into the phase where folks needed an invite code to join?

And surely, adding you now. Sorry about the delay, just getting caught up with the meme now.

Hah, yeah, I remember the invite phase.

Brad (the LJ creator) once had a party at his house for the first 5000ish LJ users. A friend of mine went to it (he said it was a beer-in-the-bathtub kind of party) and posed as me. My friend was a portly and fuzzy-faced young man, and his nametag said "Hello, my name is BratlingPixie." HEH.

Pleasure to "meet" you! :)

Ha, bravo.

I never heard that story before, I think I must have come onboard not long before Brad sold the site. Didn't realise it used to be quite as close-knit as inviting users around for parties. :)
