One of my random "Who are all you people?" posts

[cupcake_goth]

First, a confession: I don't look at my user info very often. I ... just never think to do so.

But I *did* look at it just now, and my goodness. There are a bunch of people reading this that I don't know. Of course, I'm dreadful with keeping people's multiple names straight, so there's a good chance I do know some of you, but just don't remember your LJ name. But even with that theory in place, there still seems to be a whole swarm of you that I don't know. Which is nifty - hello new people! - but I'm curious.

So! Introduce yourselves! Did you just randomly find me and decided to read my LJ? Are you a friend of a friend? Do I know you, and you're never going to stop teasing me about my poor memory for names?

Hello, I'm Laurel. =D

(This response brought to you by some paranoid imagining. Please ignore me.)

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Doofus. Stop being paranoid. How's your head doing? Did the brain-melty meds help with the migraine?

artvixn aka artemis aka foxphile aka Diana

I don't know you well but we've met and hung out on several occasions.

(by the way, check your email!!!!!)

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I replied! Let me know if nothing turns up from me.

I do not think an alternate dimension where I am capable of pointing fingers at you for having a bad memory exists. ;)


I was thinking about making a similar post, but about people I have added back. With all the name changes, and new people, and everything... well, I am not entirely certain who is who any more. :I

3) Well, my LJ username and actual name *are* one and the same...

[loree.livejournal.com]

Although I suppose the polite response would be, "Hello, my name is Loree, and we know each other from Mickey's girl game."

[arian1.livejournal.com]

Hi. I'm Arian. I'm an old friend of kijjohnson. I'm not gothy but I make a good accessory for my love harunoame when she goes out and about. :)

how's that?

[loree.livejournal.com]

My word, you're showing up everywhere... Hello again!

[minim_calibre]

I am a random stranger, lurking! Honest!

Yeah, that's it!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Hi random lurking stranger! Write fic for me! Oh, and let me teach your daughter to swear fealty to a fanged bunny.

[torreybird.livejournal.com]

You know me from domestinatrix & SnB. My new "daughter-like-thing" thinks you're wonderful and that you must be full of much better advice than I am. I read your columns and quote them to my students... to make them think that I'm wise. :-)

[evaria.livejournal.com]

I'm a Gwen, a vaguely puckish, goofy head.

But I think you might know that already;)

[bork.livejournal.com]

Meathelmet, under a new name. Because I just couldn't let the journal name 'Bork' remain unclaimed. And, you know, it just *fits* me so!

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

I found your name scrawled in a truck stop bathroom stall.

Complete Stranger

Though a fellow Seattleite and an admirer of the Gothic Charm School, no, I do not know you personally. I learned of this journal through your comments on a post by queeniex and thought it would be interesting to see what you write outside of Gothic Charm School.

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

I'm Rikibeth, online and IRL both. I left a comment for you the other day, explaining that I'd been a fan of your column for a while, but only recently found your LJ through a mention on my RL friend ashbet's journal.

I have to confess that when I DID find your lj, I took a quick peek through the tags to see if you'd done a writeup of the MCR Black Parade concert, because you mentioned being a fan on the website, and so I wanted to read your review. And I am dead of envy that you got to the meet-and-greet, but terribly disappointed that there was no large-scale writeup! I went to two dates in succession, Nassau Coliseum and Hartford, and my writeups are here (http://rikibeth.livejournal.com/229489.html) and <a href="http://rikibeth.livejournal.com/229828.html>here</a>. But anyway, I just started reading, and I hope I'm not imposing by being here!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Wait, I remember you poting a comment about finding me via ashbet. Ah-ha!

I did do a f-locked write-up of the meet-and-greet at the MCR show: http://cupcake-goth.livejournal.com/291442.html#cutid1

[endlessummer.livejournal.com]

Hello, I'm Miranda. I'm a friend of Laurel's. I'm not nearly as gothy as I used to be, but I absolutely adore your journal and your advice column.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Hello there! And thank you very much for the kind words about my writing.

[mlle-rouge.livejournal.com]

I found you somewhere on LJland about one year ago (or maybe more?) and have been a faithful reader since then ^^

[dthon.livejournal.com]

Scooter, recently come back from the dead.

So wait, you're a zombie now? I always worried this would happen ...

[septembergrrl.livejournal.com]

This is the former Lyra Jane/Elisabeth -- I just bought a rename token. Hi!

[x-in-tenebris-x.livejournal.com]

Err.. I guess I'm "one of those people" :) I found you reading through madamekat's journal and was surprised to see you were the author of the gothic charm school, which I'd been reading for quite a while! So I thought I'd add you :)

Anyway, my name is Gemma, so pleased to meet you ;)

[djeternaldarkne.livejournal.com]

I'm some crazy guy that you all worry about.

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

Indeed, although you seem like the soul of kindness from what annabelevil's told me!

[bebemochi.livejournal.com]

I'm friends with Kij, and, completely separately, I found the Gothic Charm School and thought it was awesome. When I realized you knew Kij and weaselmom, I decided to friend you because you clearly have incredible taste not only in clothes but in friends, too. :)

[ladymoira.livejournal.com]

I am Auntie! to cats, kids and in sometimes called that by adults!

[zenkitty-714.livejournal.com]

I'm Zenkitty, pretty much everywhere. Except for the few places where I'm not.

[sharkman-75.livejournal.com]

I'm John and I think we met a the Vogue many moons ago. Oddly enough, I saw you at Pike Place Market on Saturday, but we were moving briskly in opposite directions so I didn't get a chance to stop and say "hi".

[lapetiteflower.livejournal.com]

::waves::

i found your journal through oldhalloween's and was giddy since i adore gothic charm school. i've been lurking here for a while : )

[fabby.livejournal.com]

This is Gloomcookie from b.org :)

[silverhawthorn.livejournal.com]

Hello, fellow Frank Iero scoldee here, from the May concert.
Now I just lurk and worship admire your powers of self-expression. *grin*

[libkitty.livejournal.com]

This is libkitty from b.org, only, I'm pretty dark at b.org, just reading some threads that aren't so busy.

I think I may have converted a friend to GCS recently. I know for Firefly you get toasters. Here, perhaps we just get to dream of Clovis?
