erda"I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Some of you I don't know at all because I didn't friend you back (yet?). Perhaps you haven't been around for long, perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you for your interest in my words.
But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so..."
I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear."
So, dear f-list - give me some fun random facts about yourselves!
I'll start: I don't like memes. It's like when I find a greeting card that says exactly what I want to say to someone. I feel like I have to apologize for being trite. But I really would like to know you people.

Date: 2007-12-19 06:12 pm (UTC)Feminist science fiction and feminism in general are big interests of mine. I'd love to go to conventions and meet people, but I get extremely anxious in groups.
4-H is great but membership and participation is declining dramatically. There are just too many things to do and not enough time. It's a shame, but times they are a-changing.

Date: 2007-12-20 01:42 am (UTC)Sorry to hear that! WisCon was a good first convention to go to--very open and friendly, rather bookish and intelligent, and in my own town no less. I met tons of cool people there, and it was a good confidence builder for me. I've stayed in touch with a lot of the people I met there, through LJ.
Agree with you about 4-H. I got so much out of the program; I'm sorry to see it struggling.
