10. If you saw me walking down the street, would you offer me a ride?
A: Having met you once, I might recognize you enough to do so. If not, no.

Okay, I’m mortified. Somehow I failed to remember meeting you. (Happened before: agilebrit remembered me from the first WriterCon, but my memory of her was blank. It’s embarrassing.)

13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
A: Probably discuss politics, since you are one of the few people online who seem to mostly share my opinion there.

Nice to know that. I can be maybe a little more relaxed in commentary with you.

17. What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?
A: I'd invite you in and introduce you to my Hubby - I think you two would get along really well.

Because of similar social/political attitudes? Or just personalities?

18. What was your first impression of me?
A: Serious and intense

Oookay.

21. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
A: I can't imagine you doing anything that required a partner in crime.

You SO don’t know me.

The one I copied from you only had 34 items on it, though you numbered it through 36; #26 and #34 were skipped over.

Heh - we met at the second WriterCon. I was the short-ish chubby 40-something gal with auburn hair and blue eyes - I bet that makes me stand out from the rest in your memory. Not.

17. What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?

Both, actually. More the first than the second.

Huh. I usually count as I do stuff, but didn't this time - just copied and went with it. Glad someone caught that.
