EEEk!

So it's confirmed: an official case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis in a bird from the town where I work. Which means now I have to wear full body covering and insect repellent. No DEET for me! I'll go with the oil of lemon eucalyptus instead, thanks.

lj friendquiz - the manual version

I found this through vireo_blues, though I had to take the manual version since the online version is down. First, how to do this thingy:

1. Grab a notepad and number 20 lines from 1-20.
2. Go to your userinfo page.
3. Write down the livejournal friends that you know personally (i.e. have actually met in person), one on each line.
4. Answer the following questions.
5. Pass it on.

And now I present...

( my answers )

Technically I had to cheat with this since I only knew 10 of my friends personally. Thus I doubled them up and repeated the first ten on the list as 11 - 20. I guess I should get out of the house more often and get a life. Besides, I've been promising/threatening (depending on your perspective) to meet a couple of you in person so perhaps I'll make good on the promise/threat and revisit this at some point.
