thought question

[katster]

for those of you who have met me, what were your impressions of me in person?

for those of you who haven't, what's your impression of me from what you know?

i'm thinking about something...and i want to see if outside impressions match inside ones.

I have not met you, and I have only spoken to you on the phone once, which is sad since you've known ari for 7 years now, but that is another story.
In the short time that we have conversed with each other, you have helped me a great deal. I think you are a very caring, thoughtful and intelligent person. you mean alot to me for all that you have done for ari. I will leave the metaphysical aspects out, but if you want to know tell me and I will share it :)

I haven't met you but I would like to someday. You seem strong and courageous to me.

Well, it's been like three years since we've hung out, but from what I remember, the kat has always been friendly, outgoing, supportive, and more than a little nutty. Self-deprecating sense of humor. More loyal to the Bears than I have ever been. Sense of honor. Dunno, what else are you looking for?

I honestly don't have an impression for the most part. I would like to meet you, and obviously I find you interesting enough to read your journal.

I guess my main impression is that you really put up with way too much crap from way too many idiots. Specifically, the sort of people to whom one would say "Out of the gene pool now please; thank you, drive through".

well, after so many years and *still* not managing to meet you in person... (the offer for this summer still stands, btw. and if that falls through, we may be driving into/through nocal on our way to see family this xmas so we could aim for kidnapping you for the day over the holidays and take you out for $eating_time.)

you've been my friend for a very long time. so long i don't really remember much of what it was like before we met. you've been my voice of reason, my moral support, and a great source of comfort when everything just seemed to suck and be ass. misery loves company? perhaps, but nothing is more comforting than knowing there's someone standing next to you. you've also been my partner in crime and a source of inspiration. when everything seems impossible, all i have to do is think about the odds you've overcome and how you've accomplished so much. it makes any excuse not to try invalid.

so, to me, you're creative, caring, strong, determined, a fantastic friend, inspiring, intelligent, and someone i'd gladly step into a roomful of cucarachas for. ;)

Adjectives...

It's very hard for me to associate an adjective with a person. When someone says "think of Person X", I promptly summon up an image with associated memories. So let me try to provide some selected facts which are hopefully representative of my impressions of you:

I was glad when you decided to join my game. I knew you'd contribute.

I'm saddened when you're depressive, or when something seems to come between us.

I've never met you personally and consider that a lack. Perhaps it will be remedied if I attend a conference at Berkeley, or get a postdoc in California and you aren't living in Canada with Zibb and having to get the Golden Bears on pirate satellite every fall by then. (If you are, though, be prepared to have us all lean on you two and Rob for Olympics tickets in 2010.)
