Meet and Greet Experiment. Hello?

Because I'm busy and sleep deprived, it seems the perfect time to do this.

As relatively small as my friends list is, I realized I don't "talk" to some of you at all. Part of it (beyond busyness/laziness), at least on my part, is that we haven't really been introduced, as the friending was probably done in a silent exchange. So, even when I read your posts, I feel a bit weird just butting in and commenting.

So, here's the Grand Idea: if you feel like it (no pressure), post here and say "hi" (literally, that's cool, or if you're inclined, you can do more of an introduction, say something about why you friended, discuss the weather, or really whatever you want), and then you might have me cropping up on occasion in your comments (since now we've met :D ). Of course, if you’re just here for the fic, and would rather not subject yourself to that, no worries—although I suppose you could post here to complain about why I’m making posts like this rather than actually, you know, writing. ; )

If I know you already, don't feel left out--if you're bored, feel free to post here too, even it's just to tell me what a weirdo I am or to tell me something interesting about yourself that I don’t know, or to inquire why it is I don't respond to your posts either.

Also, if there is anyone out there who does read this journal and is not "friended," as always, feel free to friend (no questions actually asked), and/or now would be an ideal time to introduce yourself. :P

So despite the no pressure thing, it would be cool if someone did respond here, because, you know, otherwise I look kind of stoopid. You wouldn't want that would you?

I get to see JE next Tuesday. Can't wait myself.

Scotsmen and undead Sarmatians might have something in common. Too true! Hah -- can't wait to see what you come up with! Bors in a kilt?

BTW, the revelry continued long after the event. The Scottish Book Trust took all of us to a three-course dinner and cocktail party at Olives at the W right after. Gourevitch was there -- my god, he's put on weight and lost two inches of hairline! Didn't get to speak to him as I came later than most and was sat two tables away. Thursday then.

Looks lovely outside. Will endeavor to walk in the park before doing more laundry.
