01. Your live journal “user name” & what it means:
Melintur — It means (in my ingnorant old use of Tolkien’s Sindarin) The power of loving music. It was the first monkier I came up for myself ages ago and it has stuck when I need a handle. I actually prefer to go by Craig — I’m getting to old and fussy to play pretend name games, though I do like nicknames. A true nickname has to be given to you, not made by you. A few of my nicknames? Cringe, Puff, & Cute.
02. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest) how well does your livejournal represent who you actually are?:
As far as I know myself, a 10. No, a 9 since there is some amount of censure, but not more than I give close friends.
03. How much about your life do you post to lj?:
About 1/3rd I’d say. I’d like to do more.
04. Is there anything you refuse to post about?:
Nope. There are things I haven’t posted about, but I don’t think I’d refuse to post about anything.
05. On a scale of 1-10 how interesting do you think your own journal is to others?:
Well, that’s too broad a question to answer really – for my close friends, a 6-7, to acquaintences, 2-3, for causal LJ people, 0.
06. From who/how did you find out about lj?:
From

11. How often do you respond / comment on other peoples journals?:
As often as I can (when I feel I have something funny or informative to say).
12. Do you prefer to write in your journal, read other journals?:
I prefer to write, but end up commenting more.
13. Have you ever had something mean said to you or been stalked, harassed, or got into an argument/flame war on lj (or did it to someone else)?:
No flame wars yet, I put pre-emtive extinguisher on one before it became one.
14. Have you ever banned someone from your journal?:
I did once, temporarily, but I wouldn’t do it again unless I had to.
15. Who are your favorite lj friend(s) and why?:
Well, you’re reading this, so if you don’t know why you are my LJ friend, ask me.
16. How many of your LJ friends have you actually met?
23 of 54, though all are pre-LJ friends, or added after meeting them.
17. Of all of the people on lj you know of, who is the most like you?:
Um, most likely

19. Do you automatically add friends to your journal if they add you first?:
Mostly.
20. What is the most likely reason you wouldn’t add someone to your friends list?:
Laziness.
21. Is your “significant other” on lj?:
22. Have you ever wanted to meet someone on lj?:
Yes, of course – they mostly live to far away, or I fear my lifestyle/opinions/personality would be to ascerbic/uninteresting in person. 😉
