OMG wtf? Me too. Exact same thing. It's unnerving. Sometimes I feel like I'm too easily influenced when that happens. Even online mannerisms/word patterns (like omg wtf and <3 ) lol.

I thought I was the only person who's ears have been pierced twice, yet does not have pierced ears! How exciting to find out there's someone else out there.

Ahahah! Feel my evil influence! Feel it!

When I got the meme, it was American. But I didn't copy-and-paste with someone else's answers, I just wrote out the questions again. Naturally, with Australian spelling.

*is pleased at the virus-like spread of Australian spelling*

You evil genius, you!

huhn.

I think it's a secret thing; everyone does it but no one admits so nobody knows that everyone is going through the same thing as well!

um.

Yes, in a nutshell, me too. What are the odds?

+ I was born in the year of the rat.

Ooh, like my Very Clever Cousin (of DOOM)! I know how old you are now. -- Um. I suppose I could've figured out how old you are earlier, but this is a more poetic way of doin' it.

I'm a Tiger. I always feel vaguely sorry for anybody who ain't. *smug*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Haven't I, you know, mentioned straight out how old I was before?

And now I know how old you are, too! I think.

(I am also 4 days older than barbarian_qulan. Obviously this makes me wiser and more mature than she.)

[afrai.livejournal.com]

(But that also makes her the one who gets to make all the "you want some new fake teeth? you sure you ought to be doing that your age?" jokes.)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is true. Sneaky Mel!

We will be victorious. Our spelling will rule the world.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heh, we're special, I guess.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

See, I'm not so sure. I do know people whose personalities and verbal quirks aren't quite so moldable.

[nasrani.livejournal.com]

Personally, I pretend they don't exist.

It's all simpler that way, I find.
