meme (who are you?)

[cellio]

Stolen shamelessly from half the people on my friends list, it seems:

If I'm on your friends list, how do you know me? (I know that in some cases it's obvious.)

Also, if you feel like it, please give a tiny little blurb about yourself. Tell me where you're from, what you're interested in, a little relevant information like that.

This includes people reading this who don't have LJ accounts; I'm told some of you are out there. :-)

Yours is the first of this meme that I read. Here goes:

How do you know me?
We met from both attending fight practice at CMU - I think it was summer of '81 or '82. You fought, I hung out. We becaome closer friends when you were Chronicler and I was an extra set of hands for 4 years. Both of us are original members of the Debatable choir. We combined camping situations at Pennsic 21 or 22 - your group of friends, my land connections. Due to this, each of us calls the other the one who started the camp. We tried out services together when you became interested in Judaism, and I took you to lunch to celebrate your conversion. I was your attendant at your wedding. You're going to teach me how to do simple illumination.

I couldn't think of what to write about myself. Ummm I like music, taking pictures, sewing and other needle arts, travelling, and good friends. The SCA gives ample opportunity for all of the above, which is why I'm still here.

You were not "an extra pair of hands". You were my right-hand deputy, the one who helped type every issue (even learning a foreign editor to do so), who attended every mailing party (or maybe every one save one? I think you said that once), who helped with paste-up more times than I could count, including doing one issue when I was really sick as I recall.

Maybe I was a deputy without portfolio, at least, I don't remember having a title or anything. Thanks for being so complimentary.

Typing was easy, but at the time I didn't know what an editor was, being incredibly computer-illiterate. Still am a little (note lack of user pics). I had forgotten about the time I did the paste up 'cause you were sick. IIRC, my job by that time was doing the pictures and page numbers. It was a good education in putting out a newsletter.

There was only 1 meeting that I missed: you held the Sept. meeting on Yom Kippur one year and we were doing a break-fast.

Sometimes my lack of pigeon-holing tendencies gets in the way and I forget that titles can be useful. IIRC, I had titles for people whose contact info I needed to publish, just so folks who know whom to bother with what. (I had a deputy for local groups; I don't recall if I had a second named one.)

One missed meeting: oh yes; I remember now. Also known as "Monica gets a simultaneous education in the Jewish calendar and politeness". I'm sorry about that; I screwed up your track record.
