(I filled this one out already days ago, but I never came around finishing it!)
1. Your LiveJournal "user name":
silversolitaire
Explain what it means:
Silver is the name I chose to go by a long time ago. I *think* I had the idea for it for the first time when looking at my silver painted fingernails. 'Solitaire' was added because I needed a last name and it sorta fits me, being a loner and all...
2. The "name" that you chose to use (if not your USER name):
See above.
3. Explain how you picked / why you selected the user picture(s) that you have?
I'm into Gravitation right now.

- Your Journal -
5. Why do you have a Journal page?
Because I'm tired of explaining myself all the time, and of updating people on my life.
Do you have a Journal page for yourself, your friends, strangers to know you, and/or everyone?
Hmmm, myself, to remember my life. Because I never ever keep journals for myself. Tried it dozens of times, never worked. For friends, yes, so they know what I'm doing, strangers to get to know me, too... All of that. I don't much care actually. I've met quite a few nice people who got to know me through the LJ and we became friends, so that's a good thing.
6. Why did you pick LiveJournal (LJ) over another service or handwriting?
Oops. Well, see above about the handwriting. I don't ever write ANYthing by hand. Just can't. And on my own I'm too lazy to keep a journal. Other service... I think Blogger is too confusing and kinda sucks.
7. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest) how well does your LiveJournal represent who you actually are?
9
8. How do you think your LJ represents you the most;
Factually: ... o.o Uhm... 7? 6?
Emotionally: 9
Intellectually: 6... heh... I've got a lot more depth than I usually show. Too lazy to type my actual thoughts.
Sexually: 10
Religiously: 5. I don't think I ever mention it.
Artistically: 10
9. How much about your life do you post to LJ?
Gods... no idea! Never thought about it, really. Depends, I guess... hmmm... Oh my... I really don't know.
Is there anything you refuse to post about?
Sure...
10. On a scale of 1-10 how interesting do you think your own journal is to others?
Uhm... no clue. I usually think of myself as lowly and utterly dull.

think I saw the link to
Tariana's LJ in a post to Master_Apprentice... way back then... Oh my.

A year and couple of months.
14. How often do you post to LJ?
Several times a day.
15. What proportion of your posts are friends only?

Hmm, probably 2 or 3 weeks, whenever I'm on vacation, traveling around.
23. What's the longest you've gone without reading LJ since you discovered it?
The same. But probably less, since I usually try to log on and read as much as I can. So... a couple of days I guess.

29. Have you ever played the "add a sentence to my post" game?
Erm... no.
30. Have you ever lied/fibbed in your journal?

- Friends -
34. Who are your favorite LJ friend(s) and why?
*thinks* I really don't want to pick one. I love them all. There are some people's LJs I always want to read as soon as they post. People I care a lot about personally or who write very interesting stuff. Maybe you know how you are.
35. How many of your LJ friends are your friends in "real life"?
Weeeeeell. Since I hardly have RL friends at all and I try to keep the few ones I have away from my LJ
like hell, I'd have to answer "none". But since I regard some of my OL friends as such close friends they almost are RL, I'd have to say.... hmmm... 5? 6?
36. How many of your LJ friends have you actually met (but you don't see them regularly)?
None. The ones I have met aren't on LJ.

The ones I filter out ^_~. But usually, if they annoy me, I kick them off my friends list. And LJ users I don't like or don't know I simply ignore! Teehee!
42. How do you USUALLY find new friends on LJ; Interests, Communities, Directory, cool name/username, reading someone else's friends page, they find you, or random selection?
They find me or they're into anime I begin to like.
43. Why are you MOST likely to add someone to your friends list; Gender, User Picture, Specific Interest, Combination of Interests, Community, Geographic Location, Web Page, Specific Entry in Journal, Overall Journal, they comment in your journal, or they add you first?
Hmmmm... things that are important are... Interestes, what they write in their LJ, whether they commented on mine (not necessarily) AND the language they post in. I only add English written LJs.
44. Do you automatically add friends to your journal if they add you first?
Nah... sometimes. After I checked their LJ. Usually, I add them right away, but don't include them in my Inner Circle filter.
What is the most likely reason you WOULDN'T add someone to your friends list?
Wrong language they post in, wrong sexual orientation (*snickers* okay, I'm joking, to a certain extent... hehe), boring blabla journals. Or I just didn't come around doing it yet.
45. Do you care if someone adds you to his or her friends list if you add him or her first?
Yes! Of course!
Would you remove them from yours if they didn't?
Hmmm... I guess. If I feel ignored and not appreciated, then yes.

When they meet the criterias mentioned above.

If not, do they know you post on LJ?
Yes, she knows I have a public journal but I told her not to look for it and I trust her.
48. OTHER than your S.O., who are you the most attracted to on LJ (those who think this question means an instant argument with your S.O. may pass on this question, if you don't have a S.O. just answer it)?
I feel attracted to a lot of them, friendshipwise, but I don't want to answer this anyway.
49. Who is the sexiest person you know on LJ?
I don't think I know one... and even if I did, I really don't know.
