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 got you hooked on LJ? I didn't know that. I mean yeah, I gave you an invite code, but I didn't realize I'd had a role beyond that.

If you end up meeting aliza250 in person, give her a hug for me. :-)

Your LJ is part of the whole reason I started one. Back then I was researching the SCA and whether or not I wanted to get involved.. finding like-minded folks helped with the transition.

I love how your blog goes beyond your daily activities and the comments you get are so insightful! You rock! I want my blog to be like yours!

Bwahahaha -- snared another one! :-)

Thanks for the compliment. By some dint of luck, I've attracted a set of people who leave interesting and articulate comments, leading to interesting discussions. One thing I think is kind of neat about LJ (I presume blogging-with-comments in general, but I only know LJ) is that sometimes I end up playing host to an extensive conversation in which I'm not participating. So I get a front-row seat to a cool discussion. (And for those who've ever wondered if I mind, you can safely take that to mean "no, not at all".)
