    Impressions.

    Okay, all you have to do is tell someone from lit net, obviously, what your first impression of them was. Of course you may post something about one person and post another thought on them at a later stage. It doesn't have to be in the form of a compliment - you can be brutally honest. Also, if this impression has now changed - inform them and tell them why it has changed.
    The impression can be form based on their posts, the way they look, their blogs, what they've said to you, what they've said to others, etc.

    Also, this isn't a " post a ... about the person above you ", thread. It can be about anyone.
    And remember, don't forget to post if this impression has changed and if so, why it has. That's the most important part.

    Lets see if this works.

    My first impression of limajean was that she's sophisticated.
    "The time has come," the Walrus said,
    "To talk of many things:
    Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
    Of cabbages--and kings--
    And why the sea is boiling hot--
    And whether pigs have wings."

    kandaurov - my first impression of you was formed when you sent me that message, do you remember? And I just thought you were so kind after that. You were one of the first people to actually take the time to actually talk to me.

    My first impression of LadyW - I looked at her picture on her profile and went, "Im going to marry her one day."

    Wow, what a coincidence. I took one look at Lady W and thought the same thing...



    kidding. Ahem.

    I thought Andave was quite older than she is Now I know age and maturity aren't always proportional, and am glad to see the myth of the increasingly more immature youth thus spectacularly debunked.
    I, having quite a secure heterosexual identity, still found TheInsomniac's avatar strangely appealing. The Krillin-like noselessness might have something to do with it
    I thought MattG was a satanist. I still do (ha!). In all seriousness, you're a great addition to this forum, you come up with quite creative threads and you like Johnny Cash
    I saw in limajean a complex personality, simultaneously confident and insecure. You're stronger than I thought, though. Your likeableness and charisma will take you places.

    I too thought Adya was older. I also thought Dramasnot6 was older.
    I thought Lily Adams was sweet, now i know she is just as crazy as the rest of us
    And i thought MattG was somebody else

    Goodness, I can't remember for the life of me what my first impression of anyone was. It's...weird.

    My first impression of Jo was that she was a twilight nut, or, as they like to call themselves, a "twi-hard"

    ...and I was right

    The impression that I really remember were from when I was new/kinda new:

    I thought Jay was a guy and Mono was a chick.
    I was confused by Nightshade because her name was Nightshade but she was the Lady of Smiles.
    I thought Stannie was a bit out there because he was all about pirates
    Niamh I thought was interesting because she was an archeologist.

    oh gosh. hhaha! I'm known for being...erm, overly mature...but I didn't think it was quite so obvious here .

    My first impression of Jo was uber-kindness and gentleness...

    ...and then I got a load of her mischievousness in these game threads!!!...
