cut out the middleman

[cellio]

kayre had a good idea (which she in turn got from city_of_dis). My LJ friends come from a number of different and sometimes-intersecting circles. There are my local (and formerly-local) friends, the SCA folks, the filkers, the Jewish community, and several others. Many of you don't know each other but perhaps you should.

So this is your chance. If you feel inclined, say something about yourself here -- not addressed to me, but to the other readers of my journal who might turn out to be friends you didn't know you have.

I met Monica through estherchaya or one of the various weirdjews groups. I don't recall anymore.

Moreover, we've never met face-to-face, nor exchanged personal email (I think) even though we've had some lengthy conversations through posts and comments.

It's just a truly bizarre coincidence that she lives only a few blocks from my sister, to whose house I've never been and who doesn't have an LJ account that I know of. I'm not even certain that I've even mentioned her in a location that Monica would see beyond "friends and family in the area."

Probably estherchaya to psu_jedi to you. I've browsed weirdjews a few times but never read steadily, been a member, posted, nor (I think) commented. I've been moderately active on jbcs, but I don't think I've seen you there.

That's what I thought, but since I wasn't 100% sure, it seemed better to cast a wide net.
