Self-indulgent as it is, I kind of like this one...

Taken, word for word, from agiel:
Part of being on lj is that you end up gaining a number of lj buddies. Unfortunately, as age and the drink wear away at our brains, it's easy to forget where they all came from. Post this in your journal and have your friends respond with how they recall first meeting you.
(online meeting counts!)

Sad thing, I think. This is making its way around my friends list today, and I'm realizing that there are a lot of people about whom I quite care, but of whom I don't have a distinct memory of first meeting. Perhaps not so sad, it's not as though I don't have memories of them.

First meeting, hmm? I know I have early memories of having lunch with you in ACDC, though I suspect our technical first meeting was at some NSO event or dinner or movie.

What? Somehow I thought I was reading someone else's LJ entry. How strange. No, our first meeting was certainly you with the alien tophat, behind the NSO table at my freshman Activities Fair.

i'm not really sure how i met you. it could have been at the first NSO dinner of my first year here, or sneaking up to emergent's room a few days later.

Founders Day 2003, apparently. ;)

But I really have the feeling that our paths probably crossed before that day...

I remember you being in your Ren outfit at the Org fair. *grins*

That and the general hubub of the first NSO meeting and watching Real genius.

Easy. My last visit to Vassar as a high school student, after I had been accepted, before finally deciding what school to go to. It was NSO social dinner night, only it turned out that it was also someone's birthday, and you and Marie were the only ones still hanging out at ACDC. We ended up playing a couple of hands of Frank's Zoo, and life was good.

Playing Egyptian Ratfuck while waiting in line for "Chamber of Secrets" and finding we had a similar (very successful) method of slapping the cards. Though I only really got to know you during DL's first GURPS campaign.

[marcmagus]

*laugh* That's right, and we discovered the risk of injury when two people are using that method, particularly if they have fingernails.

I believe E and I were half way through a bottle of schnops and then this really skinny guy with a rather drunk Kris Macgrath wandered across my vision...

I have no earthly clue. You hung out at conventions, I hung out at conventions. We passed each other in hallways and smiled in recognition. Eventually we sat down and played Zendo at the same table :)

I'm almost certain it was my first Lunacon (2001, I think), in the boardgame room. I seem to recall I watched you guys play a good portion of a game of Starfarers of Catan (German copy, imported, with a printed out translation).

*laugh* this one is easy...

camp vassar, my freshman year - dancing at the Eddie from Ohio concert ;) then later that same night, checking my mail in the college center. it wasn't until i saw you again checking my mail that we actually managed to exchange names such that we could both hear each other *smile*

Whoa wait. EFO was at Vassar your freshman year??

[fadedpaladin.livejournal.com]

Yer 8th, my 7th grade homeroom. Ms Alfano, wasn't it?

[jhadania.livejournal.com]

In Keri's room, fall of 96, you and E were introduced as her new fencing buddies.
Me = punched in stomach feeling, trying to stealthily figure out if you and E were an item and getting (understandably) mixed signals.

And why am I not on your friends list, anyway? Hmph. ;)

[okusama-kumo.livejournal.com]

Well, I know that it was somewhere during my first Vassar Rocky. Don't remember the exact specifics tho. :S

[debkitty.livejournal.com]

First meeting was at Lunacon 2004. I have some wonderful recollections of being scritched in the Con Suite. Purrr.

[tymothytoastman.livejournal.com]

I met you when I showed up to Rocky auditions my freshman year. For some reason, your personality put me at ease. Needless to say, of course, I was awfully concerned with impressing you. (c;

Oh goodness...most likely one of the games of LARPC? Yeah, that's got to be it...

Hmmm. *checks notes*

Mwahaha! Apparently I met you at my first game of LARPC, which was on Thursday night origins 04. Who says being anal about my writings is such a bad thing? (Quoteself< "Also in my first game, one of our priests was this interesting guy named Marc. Marc is awesome. Marc is beyond awesome, he is VERY cool." So, apparently I liked you or something. *grin*)

...Okay, maybe I *did* go through and stalk you a bit when I first found your journal. Just a little.
