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 Are Confuzzled Then

I might be muddling you with barrysarll, because he's been mentioned outside of LJ as someone who existed IRL, but I don't know how he knows IB and the like. I could have sworn you were mentioned by these people beforehand. I'm probably making Lib-Dem connections before they existed in that case.

Gaz is the giant wrong German, who normally calls himself Bjorn.

Ah, yes, I think I met Bjorn once, Kitty's birthday I think. Never got around to meeting Barry but have talked to him a few times online. Not that it really matters much.
