Telecon fodder

(yawn) I'm sitting here in my office, listening to a 7:30am teleconference with a large aerospace company and the folks at NASA-Marshall. They're doing a software demo... over the phone. I guess one has to be there to appreciate it... so I'm going to play with this list instead.

Number of people on my lj friends list: 35. Three of them don't have me on their list, so I'll excuse them from further consideration, except for [livejournal.com profile] elisem who doesn't have one. (Running total =33)

...whom I've met in person: 25.

...whom I've met in person more than once: 20.

...whose house I've been to: 7. (Can't complain, considering the next line)

...who have been to my house: 2. (I think that my kids scare everyone away... no one wants to visit) And one of those visits didn't go any further than the driveway.

...whose precise geographic location I know offhand: 25.

...whose full names I know offhand: 17.

...whom I've followed/been in touch with for more than 3 years: 10. (Counting contact on alt.poly... )

...who live outside my country: defined as the US, 7. (Significant overlap with the previous item)

...whose journal I consider myself "addicted" to: hmmm... probably 5 or 6.

...whom I've lived with: 0.

...who's an ex: 0. (but I have only one lifetime ex, anyway, and she's not on LJ as far as I know)

...who I'd do: under the right set of circumstances, possibly as many as 15. (gazes admiringly at the collected list) Under any likely circumstances, far less.

...who I've done: 0.

...who I have a secret crush on: 7. (collectively... these have flared and faded and re-flared periodically over the years. Generally without overt communication with the other person)

...who I have a not so secret crush on: 2, unless I'm far more transparent than I believe (blush)

Telecon has just ended (8:30am), so it's back to work...

Datapoint on visits to your house: OH and I invited ourselves to your house once, and figured any subsequent invites to your house should come from you rather than us, and never received any.

True, and you're the lone person on the list that's been actually in my house (albeit a different one from where we're living now). Given the long-standing issue that OH has had with me since AP4, invites since then would seem... awkward, I guess. At least as a couple.

(sigh) Otherwise, I enjoy your company...

Yeah, it's a drag

and thanks.

FYI, I have been known to socialize separately from OH.

I've been told I know you...

I've been told I know you, tho I don't recall the email address off the top of my head, nor does the picture above clue me in... Can you help?!

(grin) I would have thought that my prior entry (about the "poly for introverts" class) would have been a tipoff... I'm the Brian that doesn't run flirting workshops (as anyone watching me at social events would immediately ascertain ;-). The one that has never picked-up anyone... email is brian1789@telocity.com on the PPP list?

The picture to the left may be a better one...

LJ stats

Did you make this quiz up?
It is getting around.
If you did, I guess you have achieved legand status in the LJ community.
Who'd'a thunk it?

(grin) actually, I got it from [profile] therealjae, and who had seen it in the past.

I'm more likely to be infamous than famous in the LJ community, I think... (wink)
