I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you for your interest in my words.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself? Any old thing at all, the more trivial and fascinating, the better. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...they enjoy eating brownie batter while watching old disco movies."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear.

This came about from something on the radio this morning. One of local stations here has started doing a "list" at the top of every hour. They throw out a topic and then play back 4 requests that somehow fit in with that topic. Today, one of the topics was anger and one of the songs played back was Rammstein's Du Hast. This then inspired an argument of whether Hate is Anger, etc. I believe Yoda's quote was thrown out at one point. But then some guy called in and said "Du Hast" doesn't mean "You hate me." It means "You have asked me a question." Well, that's completely different than what everyone assumes it means (just another example of what assuming does). Anyway, I thought I would look up all the lyrics and see if there was an English translation. There is!! So, behind the cut I give you the real meaning of Du Hast )

So, a completely different song than what I thought it was. More interesting though, I think...
