1. Why I friended you. Well, I could just say I saw you around the dog communities and thought you sounded cool and intelligent and had pretty dogs, but that would be dull. The truth is that I added you because a phantom graffiti artist left messages from here to Borneo that you'd posted the secret recipe for KFC in a friendslocked entry. So I added you because of the eleven herbs and spices; only you must have deleted the entry by the time I met you. But hey, you taste better than chicken so I kept you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, a word etc. Firefly, Discworld, yarn and that Lily Allen song you sent me. It's still on my playlist, I still laugh and remember you every time I hear it.
3. Tell you something I like about you. Your particular brand of hardass softness, and your accent.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you. I'll give you a true one: you called me on the phone and although I recall almost nothing of what we actually talked about, it's a lovely warm memory of lying on the couch, lapped in dogs and giggling with a friend. I don't experience that nearly often enough.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. I hate this one. I want to find out everything about people I care about, but I never like asking them. I enjoy finding out in the normal course of interacting with them. So I pull something random out of my arse instead: Do you have a totem animal, and if so, what is it?
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours. "You don't fix faith, faith fixes you"
