From [livejournal.com profile] ume_yuki.

I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your fic, 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.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

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.

When I was in seventh grade, the nun who taught our class religion would never get my name right. Every day, she'd abbreviate it, and I correct her.

This went on for about a month of so. Then one day, she get's my name wrong, and before I can open my mouth, the entire class (sans me), who were apparently as sick of it as I was, corrected her. At the top of their lungs.

(This was in a Catholic school. It didn't go over well, but she DID get my name right from then on.)
