4 years and 500 journals later...

Not only is this finally my 500th journal, but it's also a little known fact that I've been on this site for over 4 years now. I hit the big oh-four on August 31 and I feel great. Except for that whole grad school thing and being extremely busy. But I digress.

Originally I signed up and started sponsoring immediately after a friend had shown me a few of the videos from the first season. I thought they were great and I had to see them all RIGHT NOW so I joined. I think that was in the middle of the second season...or was it the third? Either way I didn't truly, honestly become active on the site for another couple of years, starting around January of aught-seven. Up until then I pretty much watched the videos and perhaps browsed through some stuff from time to time.

I'm not really quite sure what drove me to become active, but I am most definitely glad that I did. I have a couple of pre-RvB RL friends on here but the vast majority of my friends are from relationships that I've spent a good while forging. Some of you are still relatively new, and others I've known as long as I've been on the site. No matter the length, you all are awesome and I enjoy hearing about your lives.

*group hug*

I don't plan any large fanfare, and I do have other things I could talk about (like the awesome fun I had last weekend and how school is going) but I'll leave that for future regularly scheduled programming. In its stead I've decided to borrow a cue from Kyla and allow you all to ask me questions. Anything. Doesn't matter how personal it is. I promise I'll answer it. Just note that if I think it's too personal then that answer will be PMed to the questionnaire rather than being posted in a (more than likely) friend's only journal. Anything is game. Choose your questions wisely. I expect LOTS of them!

My only question for you is WHEN DO I GET TO MEET YOU ALL IN PERSON???

tl;dr version: My 500th journal and my 4th anniversary. Read the last paragraph for my celebration and large fanfare.

Be in Champaign (or Waterloo) January 11 or 12. Then I will see you.

-OR-

Find a Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday when the Wild play at home that you could make it to St Paul, and I'll secure tickets.

Can you play any instruments? And if so, how proficiently?

What are your three favourite bands?

Is it OK to go ass-to-mouth?

What brand of deodorant do you use?

How do you get the smell of bad milk out of a carpet?

I'm coming to IL already! Geez! Like, maybe next year sometime... when I set up shop in Toronto, I'll definitely be roadtripping to meet folk.

In Love

We live in the same state; there's no excuse not to visit at some point.

<3 for the shout-out, and congrats on the milestones! As you know already, I'm one journal away from my 500th and three weeks away from being on this site for 5 years (!). What the hell have I been doing that whole time?

Ok, question time!
*Favorite college moment?
*Do you own a library card? (No lying; I have connections and can find out if you are.) If no, when are you going to get one?
*Why is the local news still talking about Michael Jackson?
*Boxers, briefs, boxer-briefs, man thongs, or commando?

congrats and congrats

but it's also a little known fact that I've been on this site for over 4 years now

Little known and little cared about.

WHEN DO I GET TO MEET YOU ALL IN PERSON???

When you've had all your shots.

My question:

How can you spend 700 bucks on a camera lens but not 300 on a 360?

500 journals? no wonder you're just now getting done with grad school. Also, come on out here anytime, but if you wanna meet the twins, some time next summer is best. Last: worst high school memory? Best high school memory?

Well we get to meet in real life as soon as we can make it happen, you were awfully close to me here a little while ago though. My questions for you: 1. What are your plans for the future? 2. What is your ideal vacation? 3. Do you really feel like the world will end in 2012 :)

Raslin Kevin

We're going to be in the Cedar Falls/Grundy Center area in 3 days.
Otherwise... I'm still right here waiting for your call.
Sat Oct 3rd is Oktoberfest celebration downtown by the I-Cubs ball park.

If everyone chipped in to get you a tattoo of your choice, but the only restriction was that it had to include a person's name in the tattoo... what name would you choose?

To make it interesting - Chris/Christopher are not acceptable choices but other variations would be.

Aww, awesome journal. Question time!!! Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Will you go to your HS/College reunions? Do you subscribe to any magazines? Which ones? What would you do if you won an obscene amount of money in the lottery?

We get to meet eventually, no worries - I've met over half my friend list - so it's A COMIN'!

Congratulations on the journal, and an even bigger congrats on the school stuff

You're awesome.

Also, as far as my contribution to digging through your head and life:

What was(is?) your favourite childhood toy?

Have you ever been in a serious physical fight?

What is the proudest moment of your life, so far?
