There are a lot of people on my flist that I don't know so well (and even those of you I do know pretty well should do this *g*), and this seemed like a good way to get to know everyone a little bit better. Meme stolen fro snickfic.

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: ( Read more... )

I am a scientist! Well, a grad student, but since I get paid to do science, it still counts. Anyway, I study lakes in the Midwest of the US, so I get to spend a lot of time wandering around bodies of water in row boats collecting water samples.

Oh cool! That sounds like it would be fun.

um...interesting fact... lets see....
Before I was married I had 5 names. Is that interesting?

If you could own any exotic animal what would it be and why?

that is... quite a lot of names. And it is indeed interesting!

If I could own any exotic animal, I would probably own an otter. I think they're adorable, and they're so playful, and they seem like they'd make really fun pets?

Hai! *waves*

I'm so very late to this meme, I don't even know if it's still appropriate for me to comment. But I feel sad at the idea of creeping out again, so here I am :)

I'm Eléonore. I'm from France and I am very in love with Antonin Artaud (see icon). I've been terribly bad at livejournal lately because real life has been a brat and also I fail at multitasking. But I hope that now that I seem to have it under control again, we'll get to know each other better!

Can I call you Cate? :D

Hi back!

There is no such thing as being too late to comment. *g*

I am not from France. But I took five years of French, at school, and retained very little of it. I can occasionally puzzle out the gist of things that are written in French, and I can count to 100. Not that either of those things comes up all that often....

I hope that now that I seem to have it under control again, we'll get to know each other better!

I hope so too! I've also been fairly LJ negligent recently, but I'm trying to stay on top of things, so hopefully I will.

You can absolutely call me Cate!

Counting is always of importance /nods
And I'd say that is excellent news, as I tend to have the abnoxious habit of quoting French things everywhere! :)

Oh! Something that has amused me for years, that will probably also amuse you: There is a gated community near where I grew up, and it's also near some horse farms. The name of the suburb is on the gate, along with a brass horse head. So I'm pretty sure they intended to name the suburb something to do with horses, and decided to fancy it up by making it French. But I guess Cheval wasn't fancy enough so they went with Chevaux. Except no one double checked the spelling and what they actually ended up with was a gated community named Cheveux.
