Writings of a Rogue and a Scholar (original) (raw)

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.
