Santa's making a list

And he needs your help. If you are a friend of PG, and have only known me for 5 years (to the day; I'm sure the margin of error is sufficient to not matter), could you post in this thread saying so, or PM me if for some reason you want to remain anon (you won't remain anon btw)

If you for some reason managed to know PG prior to 5 years (to the day), feel free to tell me so / remind me. It would be nice to have a second list, but I'm really just after the first list.

The topic, since EoFF isn't /b/ isn't what these lists are for. That's a surprise. Instead, I'd like to know if you mentally categorize your friends in lists. Not 'good friends' or 'females I'd like to sex' but just misc lists.

On facebook I have my friends categorized by certain parameters. For example by location, by eoff, by work, by internet...

It's pretty useful when I want to purge friends.

Just over five years, I guess.

I categorize facebook and IM people but that's about it.

If you should be on the list you aren't on msn unless I missed you.

The ones I put a question mark on I'm not 100% sure

Fairly sure I've known you for less than 5 years. :P

And I categorise my friends into groups, depending on where I met them. "EoFF", "School", etc. :D

I don't think I've known you for 5 years. I've certainly known about you for 5 or so years, but I don't think I've really known you for 5 years.

Pureghetto, I have known of you for more than five years; we have not become friends in that span of time! I wonder if I even edge into your awareness!

I love lists, groupings, and the trappings thereof! "Oh, do not categorize others," is silly once one realizes one does it all the time, but with whom do you associate and who is that you actively avoid or turn down for socialization?! Even if you have not a written/typed/memorized list, there is always one which actively pops up to deal with immediate people!

I categorize people by similar parameters as Pureghetto; "confidence" is one I do not see mentioned, but it is one I diligently apply beyond initial rankings! I think the normal titles applied are boring, so often my lists look akin to this:

Good luck with ever ranking as a Gun in a Cheap Suit!

Internet-wise, I have known you for about 9 years. IRL-wise, it would be around two years. :cat:

I dunno, I tried categorizing my facebook friends by location a while back but I spent forever on the list and then it was like TIMED OUT or some shiet so I was like I hate my life and quit. xD

I've known you for a long time, yeah. Have no idea how many years.

I've definitely known you for more than 5 years, since we've both been around EoFF for much longer.

I don't pay attention to time, but my wedding was over three years ago so there's at least that. You're coming out for Ashley's wedding, right??

My Facebook friends are just categorized as Family, Old People, or left uncategorized. I only have a couple EoFFers as Facebook friends so I don't have that category, and qualifying people by level of friend seems odd.

my IM contacts lists sorts everyone by where I know them from unless they're people I like to talk to, then they can be in the 'friends' group and people I talk to almost constantly are 'Good Kids'

I can't make it for Ashley's wedding because I just transferred to a new jerb. Also no monies to travel faster than a bus anyway, or I would.

This list thingie is coming along very well. I might wuss out and not reveal the point (it won't be in eoff anyway) though. Or maybe I will. Reverse birthday present.
