Writer's Block: We met on LJ

[davegodfrey]

This is actually quite tricky. Most of the people on the f'list (innerbrat and steely_glint for instance) are either friends from uni, or have written interesting blogs so I follow them (e.g. tyrell). The others are mostly people I'm not actually likely to meet any time soon, what with living on the wrong continent an' all.

So actually there's only four more people than I thought who I've met via LJ that I can think of. snapesbabe, ms_entropy, corchen, I met karohemd before I knew him on LJ, but he knew everyone else via LJ, so I think he counts too. How could I forget nadrieland ginasketch? And rowanberries? Because I 'm a useless prat that's why.

Oddly, matgb doesn't count, because I'd at least heard of him via pinkshifter and invadergaz before I even knew what LJ was, and I've known her since she was at Brunel. So the chances are I'd have probably met him even without LJ.

ETA to add all the lovely people I forgot.

I'm glad it's not just me who's forgetful.

Um, methinks you have me mixed up with someone else, because I met pinkshifter in person last year and don't think I've actually met Gaz. I also met you through Debi, who I first met August 2005, by which time you already had an LJ.

Mine is a weird one--I met Debi in person before reading her LJ, but only because I'd been invited to SC via LJ, same I think applies to you, but pretty sure that was in the Head of Steam when I was up one weekend.

Those are people you've met through me...

erm I wasn't even at Brunel :) I quite possibly mentioned matgb on here long before we met last year - but then we knew each other on forums years back - methinks someone should do some kind of uber 7 degrees of separation chart one day - fuelled by much booze of course.
