Sheep seen chez senji:

Go to your info page and find the seventh name listed on your friends list. Go to their info page. Find the seventh name on their friends list. Repeat until you are seven LJs from your own. (If you come across someone who doesn't have seven friends or the seventh friend is a journal you have already visited on this trip, randomly pick another name and continue).

(1) 7th on my friends list, barbarakitten_t.
(2) 7th on her friends list, anahata56.
(3) 7th on eir friends list is also barbarakitten_t, so random pick is lutonianbill.
(4) 7th on eir friends list is dirtynumbangel.
(5) barbarakitten_t is also 7th here, so my first random pick is costillo. However, e doesn't have any friends with seven friends, so let's pick mactavish.
(6) E has a friends list that I can't access for some reason(something to do with there being 595 entries and my having a Free Account?), so I'll pick 7th from Mutual Friends, ailbhe. (Who is friends with kightp on my friends list, so I haven't gone too far afield yet.)
(7) Eir seventh is annburlingham(also friend of kightp).



Now, use the info page and recent entries of that 7th LJ to answer the following questions:

1) What is the title of this journal (NOT the user name)? annburlingham's journal

2) How many communities does this person belong to? 0.

3) List any interests you share in common with this user. books

4) List any friends you have in common with this user. kightp

5) Where does this user live? Perry, New York

6) What is the seventh sentence in this user's most recent journal entry? And the local librarians chose male authors for our community reading book for the first two years, to try to bring men in.

7) What is the first sentence in this user's seventh most recent journal entry? It's a beautiful sunny day here, all blue and white.

Thoughts right away: picking the 7th, when many people have dozens if not hundreds of friends, tends to keep things near the beginning of the alphabet.

Once you add the magical 500th friend, your friends list becomes invisible. It's also a sign from God to back the hell up and reëvaluate what the hell you're doing.

Also: you are the seventh person on my friends list.

Well, now you can do the meme quite easily, can't you? Unless you want to make different random selections.

I just skipped past the repetition to the 8th, and then to the 9th due to insufficient friends. I ended up at annathepiper.

This would be more interesting if it were intended to propogate TO the person listed. There should be an instruction at the end to let the person know you got them.

And yeah, the early alphabet thing is pretty lame.

Maybe it could work on a percentage. Like 50%: Pick the person in the middle of their friends list, or something. So it doesn't even matter how many friends they have (unless it's two or less).

[iamo.livejournal.com]

then you'd definitely trend towards the middle of the alphabet. Even more so, in fact, since at least on some people's friendslists the 7th will be towards the middle or the end.

You could always use random, but that can be a pain. Imagine picking the 93rd person out of 202 on someone's friends list.
