I notice that when people add you to a friends list, they often either don't bother to introduce themselves, or do it in a post about a completely unrelated topic. As my LJ seems to be becoming more and more of a social and communications tool, I figured I'd make a post like this one where people could leave those introductory comments without the awkwardness of doing so in an unrelated topic.

So, with that in mind...

Introduce yourself.

I am interested in getting to know you, and more importantly, if we've met already and when and how.

If we haven't met before, and you are just here randomly, what brought you here?

Considering that some people don't put too many details about themselves into their user page, and few people use icons of themselves, there are many people on LJ that I'm sure I've met that I can't quite place. But I do like getting to know new people, so I'm very pleased to meet you, regardless.

A note: More often than not, I only friend people I know in person, but exceptions can, and have been, made. Making an introduction is a good start to getting to know you, however.


(Inspired by the sheer volume of people I met at Arisia 2005, and that I could only remember about half of them.)

This will eventually be backdated to the year 2525, so it should always be on the front on my LJ. As backdating to the year 2525 is impossible, I originally moved it to 2010. As it's now 2010, I'm moving it to 2015.

What would people think if a player brought a personal audio recorder to the larp and left it on all weekend?

Would your reaction be any different if it were a staff member?

Just curious. I am not planning on recording you.

Except for you. You are already being recorded. Right now. You know who you are.

Fair warning: I will be temporarily insane until the month of August. I will be finishing my graduate degree, and will likely come up for air only to say something funny or inform you that I am not dead.

Or to whine about school.

With luck, this will result in a life of wealth and privilege and freedom. Otherwise, it's a lot of debt for a piece of paper that says I am the master of science.

I am now registered for my last semester of grad school, win or lose.

Also, I'm broke. Send employment, preferably something easy that pays a lot.

I had a birthday today. I received many, many birthday well-wishes from friends and family. And there was also something terrible that happened in my home city.

I wanted to write more about my birthday, and thank everyone and say funny things, but I don't really have anything to say right now.

I don't bother anymore because I can't think of anything that'll beat my prank pulled my first year in Peace Corps.

I still love the line about my parent's basement. :P

2012 became the Year of Treading Water. Very little changed for me, but I survived.

I would like 2013 to be very different than 2012.
