On Davids

[highlyeccentric]

firstly- David has just given me this link: http://www.ninjawords.com/
it is cool.

Secondly, who is David? All Davids are listed below.

David= David Hay aka lepsdavid
Dav(e/id) Barrow= dhbcaen2007 (sometime "Scary David")
Random David= phrasemuffin (not to be confused with Sir Random, mrlachatte, who is not a David)
Flinn's David= fairly self explanatory. owns a pet shop.
Uncle David= husband of my aunt
Da*vid= my crummy attempt to distinguish in typed form between the way in which I pronouce his name, compared to the rest of them. He is Belgian, and is currently visiting scholar with the Centre for Medieval Studies; offering a course on Medieval Cosmology next semester.

No, that is not alphacategorical order, or Flinn's David would be above you and Da*vid would be at the very top.
there is no particular order, but if there were, David would naturally top it as the only David to be known simply as David.

But it is in alpha-categorical order, with categories being Livejournal, Real Life (Family/Friends) and Real Life (University). The categories are alphabetised, and names within the categories are then sub-alphabetised. Take another look! See how organised your subconscious is?

wow! that is so true!

except that both David and Dave Barrow are really RL people who just happen to have LJs...

[phrasemuffin.livejournal.com]

Also true, but it makes more sense to list them as LJ-ers as opposed to RL-ers here on LJ, contextually speaking. If, however, you were to be listing us in RL, you would of course list them as RL-ers first, LJ-ers second, due to the context.

Flinn is also a University person, no? meaning his David is, by extension, a university acquaintaince/friend/person. You don't list him as a University person, though, because Flinn's more importantly Friend/Family. He, therefore, is also linked in this way, hence the RL (Friends/Family) category.
