List Of Friends

[alias_sqbr]

So, here you all are! Yes, everyone who either I have friended or who has friended me, divided up by how we met. EDIT: This is ONLY people on my user info page. I have plenty of friends (and even more aquantances) not listed. Like, say, Cam :P

I was going to do bios until I decided this was a recipe for disaster (anyone who has seen me introduce people will understand why) so instead I have a series of hopefully fairly objective modifiers. Please let me know if I have any of these wrong! Also if there's any other things a lot of you have in common which might be interesting to record.

• S: can be seen at swancons.
  
• U: can be seen in the unisfa room
  
• If they live somewhere other than Perth I've mentioned it. Being on holiday doesn't count :P
  
• I've mentioned marriages but not other relationships because it seemed a good place to draw the line!
  

High School

• Part of the PLC girl Cabal I still hang out with fairly frequently: gelignite S; mandragora2003 S; nico_wolfwood S;
  
• Hung out with mainly in early/mid highschool: goth_grrl; haute_kitten London;
  
• Friends of friends who were not actually at my high-school because they're icky boys, also I didn't really get to know them till later: mexicanjewlizrd S; justadecoy S;
  

Unisfa

Note I'm only counting people I met 100% through unisfa, not people I may have met there but gotten to know elsewhere. The divisions are rather arbitrary.

My generation (96-99)

I met quite a few of these in 99, my favourite year at uni. Coincidentally the year I got together with Cam :)

• People I did classes with: myfyr; oliverm; col_ki S; dafwarg S;
  
• People who like maths (hey, they're my categories): alkland Canberra; ataxi Canberra, married to maxfenig; the_riviera_kid Phding in Sweden; tommmo S U ;tryce;
  
• Other: grahame S U; hipikat S U; miffy24; pedanther S; robthesilent; sonnlich S U; utopos S U; vegetus S U; anxiolytic;
  

The previous generation (pre 97)

• doctor_k_ S married to strangedave; dunq; emma_in_oz S; kitsune_iii; leahcim S; lilysea Canberra; loic San Francisco;rescviki Canberra; shigawire married to tandia; strangedave married to doctor_k_; wintal;
  

The next generation (2000+)

I may have some of these wrong, since my Phd ate my brain for most of this period.

• People I have stopped thinking of as freshers: fallimar; kadeton U S; lizbyrd U S; maelkann U S; maxfenig Canberra, married to ataxi; mpfl S;nephron U S; pooxs U; stephiepenguin S; velithya U S;
  
• Munchkins (born 1986 or later): auntpol U; blkgrphn U; elaran U; greteldragon U S; gyges_ring U;
  infamyanonymous U; nicholii U; penchaft U; evil_megz U; frenchiephish U; tajjster U; violetsquirrel U;
  

Ummm....

Mainly people who aren't younger than me (or not much) but I met comparatively recently, so I don't mentally classify them in any of the above categories.

• dabear S; dr_jekyl S; firefly21; miss_kittylix S U; tandia S U, married to shigawire; theducks S U; okuninushii America;
  

Non-unisfa perth circles

• Generic fandom/friends of friends etc: firvulag S; shrydar S; wolfhound;
  
• perthcomics people: tedprior; sonictail S; warpwind; (the latter two I actually met via Jafwa)
  

People I haven't actually met

• edible_hat A pen-friend from Double-Helix magazine who lives in Adelaide. The only person whose bio remains, because it's so unique :)
  
• Brights forum facilitators:furikoneko Sweden; profmoriarty England; stableglynn England;
  

Communities, feeds etc

These get bios because they can't get offended.

• numb3rs_recaps Very amusing slashy recaps of the show Numbers by someone I kind of know.
  
• beadwork and claymaker: self explanatory
  
• diy_weddings lowbudgetbride weddingplans: I don't actually go on these much any more, but they were interesting when I had No Idea what to do.
  
• incon swancon unisfa: Local SciFi club type stuff
  
• little_details Helps writers answer niggling questions. Great.
  
• mathsex More maths than sex :)
  
• news lj news, that is.
  
• perthcomics Mainly to organise monthly meetings of local webcomic artists. Fun!
  
• skeletor_hordak Open to anyone to make comics about skeltor and hordak. Also fun.
  
• sugarfreecomics Gives constructive criticism on comics. Seems kind of dead.
  
• mediawatch A feed of the ABC program.
  
• the_angriest A feed of a (mostly) movie site by a super-cool local guy.
  

Finally, skaggig_man is the travel journal of the_riviera_kid and spaced00d is the old lj of edible_hat. And I have no idea who hey_there123 is.

[alias_sqbr]

You know I only just got that.

In my defense, I'm sick :)

[velithya]

Re: OH COME ON

[penchaft.livejournal.com]

Tell us a story of the old days, Aunty Vel!

Re: OH COME ON

[alias_sqbr]

FIIIIINE I fixed it :)

Re: OH COME ON

[velithya]

^__________^

[pooxs.livejournal.com]

yeah, I thought you had to have had a job to be midguard, or at least have graduated (4months!!)

[pooxs.livejournal.com]

erm, have had a job = having a fulltime job.

[pooxs.livejournal.com]

I have not, nor do I ever think I will, attended a SwanCon

[alias_sqbr]

Fixed! I'm sure I got like half of those wrong, sorry.

[pooxs.livejournal.com]

oh, I don't care - just figured it should be correct.

you should also fix the part that says the people who started in 2002 and 03 are midguard, coz so not!

[pooxs.livejournal.com]

oh good, you did :D

[trs80.ucc.asn.au (from livejournal.com)]

Don't I exist?

[alias_sqbr]

Not according to my friends list you don't :P This isn't everyone I know(*), just everyone on my user info page. Unless you're there and I didn't notice, in which case sorry!

(*)You'll notice Cam isn't there(**)
(**)Crap, just told Cam, now he wants to be on the list(***) :)
(***)Cam: Well DUH! *takes back keyboard*

[elaran.livejournal.com]

munchkin? *grins*

[alias_sqbr]

It's what I call my younger siblings (born in 86 and 87) and thus how I see you all :)

[pedanther]

I'm not surprised about you not knowing where I live, because I'm not very a forthcoming person - but I know you know I can be seen at Swancons, because you've seen me.

[alias_sqbr]

You don't live in Perth? It also occurs to me that you may be in the wrong year-I-met-you category, which isn't the end of the world I suppose.

Also, cute icon :)

[pedanther]

No, I don't live in Perth, although I wish I did. (The Plan was that I'd come home until I worked what I wanted to do with my post-uni life, and then go back and do it in Perth. I'm still fine-tuning the details...)

I don't remember exactly when we met, but I can narrow it down enough to be confident that you put me in the right category.

Good, it's meant to be.

...also, I forgot to say: Double Helix magazine! Yay!

[loic.livejournal.com]

San Francisco! (though I'm actually in Vancouver at the moment)

[sonictail.livejournal.com]

This is pretty bloody cool. Actually it looks to be meme material for those with no attention spans (read, me)

Hope to see you tommrow!

[alias_sqbr]

Sorry, was sick (thus I take a week to reply) Anyway, it has always been my dream to start a meme, (and failing that one these internet things people call memes) but I can see this being too much work for most people.

[edible-hat.livejournal.com]

w00t! I get a bio! Take that, everybody else :P

[shrydar.livejournal.com]

Well remembered :)

FWIW (and I realise that this doesn't affect your categorisation of me) I met doctor_k_, strangedave and emma_in_oz through being a member of UniSFA from 1989 to 1995. (although in Dave's case I suspect the UCC should also share some of the blame).

[alias_sqbr]

Well see, if you'd hung around till 1997 you'd be in the same section as them :)

[shrydar.livejournal.com]

I know I shouldn't have moved to England! ;)
