The point is you should have discussed it with her first. Because you didn't, she can't go to London etc. I'm not saying you had malicious intent, I'm saying that you can't use anyone's contact information without consulting them.

vs.

It's a stripped contraction of versus and so needs the full stop. The "s" is optional, but I use it to avoid confusion with v.v. (vice versa).

On your answers:
1. Okay.
2. Why only potato soup and why only when you are sick?
3. Well, think about what you understand to be learning. Then think whether it is significant, and describe any significance it may have.
4. Well, think about it.
5. How so?
6. Why? Are you?
7. Okay.
8. How so? Why so? What does this have to do with the question?
9. How so?

Let's see.
1. I like them, though I don't like sour ones.
2. I like them much!
3. I think that learning is the only constructive path of human advancement, and thus highly significant.
4. I think so, yes.
5. It's interesting and mutagenic. I think I'd like to grow mutant fungi one of these days.
6. I think I am, though some of my friends find it ridiculous.
7. I think I could do with more discipline.
8. Fairly low. For instance, waiting for a reply from you is more important than finishing my dinner, though it is delicious.
9. People I want to talk with.

I think it's just a family thing. When I'm sick, we make potato soup.

This seems like such a silly question. I don't even know where to start.

5. How so?
It was a joke. That's another one of those, "How do I answer this..?"

6. Why? Are you?
Because. And no. I just can't/won't be.

8. How so? Why so? What does this have to do with the question?
I'm just a selfish person, therefore it would be a high priority... wait, are you joking? How does this NOT pertain to the question?

9. How so?
I've moved several times, and changed schools each time. As soon as I leave, my 'friends' are not so friendly anymore. I do try, but it's hard to keep a friend when they don't find YOU important enough to keep. Bitter, me? Never.


1. Why not? Do you like other sour things?
2. 'Them'? How odd.
3. Well, you couldn't very well say that learning is not important. You learn constantly. There's really no other answer than yours...
7. Why/how so?
8. Then, I'm sorry I type so slowly. ^_^
9. So friend = acquaintance? I want to talk to everyone, yet they say a friend of everyone is a friend of no one. Do you agree?

Mmm, okay.

This seems like such a silly question. I don't even know where to start.

How does it seem silly? I suggest starting by contemplating the concept of learning.

It was a joke. That's another one of those, "How do I answer this..?"

Well, you could learn about it and formulate a response based on research.

Because. And no. I just can't/won't be.

Because what? How can't you be? Why won't you be?

I'm just a selfish person, therefore it would be a high priority... wait, are you joking? How does this NOT pertain to the question?

Well, you could be selfish and not care about comfort-type issues! Thank you for clarifying.

Not in general.

Oops! It.
3. Well, you couldn't very well say that learning is not important. You learn constantly. There's really no other answer than yours...
There are! Would you like me to find you some?
7. Why/how so?
It would help me deal with people. Not getting angry so easily would be a good start, as would dealing with emotional reactions in a more constructive manner than outright dismissal.
8. Then, I'm sorry I type so slowly. ^_^

9. So friend = acquaintance? I want to talk to everyone, yet they say a friend of everyone is a friend of no one. Do you agree?
Nope; I don't actively want to talk with all my acquaintances. I disagree - it's an outright contradiction, and in some cases is still meaningful if you use a non-relative definition of "friend".

Getting the chance to die for you- well, okay. I guess. O.o I don't see how that is relevant.

You seem to be... unique, but I'm sure you know that/have heard that/expect that.

I'm curious about what/who you must be in real life. I realize I'll never know, but it's interesting nonetheless.

I could see you as the peaceful guy who always has that dreamy look in his eyes, but I can also see you as a raving lunatic, the guy everyone is afraid of.

Which makes me wonder about your height, for some reason.

Is it bad that I seriously felt a flash of jealousy when you responded to poeticoddity's comment (in my LJ) before you responded to mine?

175 cm or so.

Possibly, but that wouldn't make it problematic.

[Regarding the diaeresis- I have to admit I didn't know what it was called, though I could tell from context- I just don't know how to make that character. I'd have to Google it, and copy and paste...]

Mmm-hmm. Don't confuse those with umlauts, by the way - a diaeresis tells you that a vowel that would normally be read as part of a diphthong - such as the ai in "ain't" is instead read as part of a different syllable - "na/ive".
