There's a huge chunk of you out there whose LJs I read every day - but in a lot of cases, I don't know how old a lot of you are, or where you live, or basic, normal things.

This is the problem with LJ - we all think we are so close, and while we know about the day-to-day, there's still a lot we don't know about each other. So let's rectify it.

I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. I promise, I will not make fun of you, or say who asked what and I'll try to answer everything - personal, fandom - whatever.

I then invite you to do the same. Remember, seriously basic stupid questions, don't be embarrassed, you would be really shocked what I don't know about you.

Don't worry about offending or insulting. If you're on my friends list, I friended you for a reason.


Lifted straight out of [livejournal.com profile] karlita's LJ...

Go ahead - give it your best shot!

What ethinicity do you consider yourself and why? i.e. Black, African-American, whatever...

Hmm...I try not to fall into the whole labels thing much - too much chance for non-intelligent discussion. But what it all comes down to is:

I am an American.

I am Black.

My ancestors are from Africa.

In that order...

Do you have siblings?

I have one brother who is about 9 years older....I was definitely a surprise. My mom had been told she couldn't have any more children...

...oops. :)

With that big an age difference, were the two of you close?

We really didn't get close until after I was in college...

I get a lot of my outlook on life from him - that it is too short of a time to not have fun and live for yourself and your happiness.

What makes you happy?

Hmm...

Hanging out with close friends...

A good book that makes me lose track of time

Cats and kittens

My family

A gesture that shows someone actually cares, not just full of words.

(Maybe more later)

What do you like to do in your alone time? How about in non stress time with other people?

Great, fun conversation goes a long way with me. I like going to parties where the people (not the music or the movie) are the entertainment.

I like to read, but I'm falling behind - I think I have 3 books half-read.

I love dance music - if I go to a club, instead of on the dance floor, more than likely I'm listening to the DJ's mix - wondering who they sampled from or where I can get a copy of the remix playing.

TV is rarely the focal point in my alone time...especially daytime TV. Probably on the computer, listening to an Internet dance station, checking news, emails and LJ.
