liv: cup of tea with text from HHGttG (teeeeea)
[personal profile] liv
Thank you all for having really civilized discussions in my controversial opinions post. I really appreciate having a readership who challenge me without getting belligerent about it.

Let me follow up with a nice warm fuzzy post. I have about 250 people subscribed to this journal, and a thoroughly excellent crowd you all are. And maybe some of you would like to meet some other similarly excellent people. So, I've invented a game.

If you would like to, please comment to this post, and I'll introduce you to everybody else by giving a reason why I think you're great. Some people I know better than others, so I can't promise all my introductions will exactly encapsulate why someone might want to get to know you. You're also welcome to comment to someone else's thread and ask for a specific introduction to that person; I know some people are more confident than others about just jumping in and introducing themselves to a stranger. I am also happy to matchmake if you would like that; ask me for a recommendation of a personal journal and / or community from my circles.

And of course, feel free to repost this game in your own journal, if you think it would be a good way to make connections between some of your people. I think this could go quite well if it spreads a few hops away from here, but also worth doing even if no-one picks it up.

*hugs* I guess you can start with me, even though I'm incredibly shy at suggesting someone might have any reason they think I'm great, even if they publicly signed a document saying so in front of hundreds of people :)

Especially since you're one of the friends I think I could do this for/about in return (rather than the vague flailings of "s/he's cool" or even the occasional "I don't remember where we met" where a link or two in the chain has fallen out of view.

I really must get back into blogging; perhaps this will kick me. Facebook encourages laziness, and I still haven't written up the notes from Israel 18 months ago!

Soundbite

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
