This tangled path...

So, I went and created a new filter here today, called "Just Peeps". I wanted to weed out all the blogs and rss feeds I had coming in on my main filter, and also make sure that there was a way to be certain I was reading people. My main reading filter for the last three yeas has had a limited scope within my friendslist (and I wasn't exactly certain of keeping up with what I had).

There are a *lot* of names on here. Some of them I no longer remember who they are or why we are connected. And the vast majority don't seem to post.

So, a question, if you have a moment. Who are you, how do you know me (if you do), and why are you here, reading this journal?

(Comments screened by default. Go wild. If you would prefer to not be unscreened should I wish to reply, say so.)

We met through LJ. I'm not sure how we found each other on LJ. Maybe through warsop? I believe we've been interacting here since sometime in 2004. Yours is one of the LJs I always make sure to catch up on, even when I've been gone a long time. Among many many other things, I like that you occasionally nest even more parenthetical comments than I have ever managed. :)

I'm trying to come back to posting regularly here. I miss the LJ community & I miss writing.

I think I see you in person about every other year at somebody's party, which is less than I would like, but seems to be what works with the levels of introversion & busy-ness involved in our lives.

By the way, while I was poking back through my journal trying to figure out when we "met" I found a poem I'd completely forgotten I'd written. It was from the early days of my being on LJ so it wasn't tagged. Thank you!

Nice!

I definitely met you here on LJ via warsop's friend pages. That was back in the early days, when I wasn't reading very many people, so I occasionally cruised the "friends of friends" reading page.

I don't really feel like you stood out as a person in my mind until your call for help regarding the plants you had to leave behind while on a trip. I'm a sucker for helpless, needy plants.
