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.)

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!!!!!)

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...

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]

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

[loree.livejournal.com]

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

[arian1.livejournal.com]

Ha! I am just that wildly clever, or lucky, or both.

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.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

See, I *thought* that was you, but did I do the clever thing and click through to look at your LJ? Nooo, for my common sense has apparently wandered off.

So, hi!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

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

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

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

[la-perkins.livejournal.com]

and film the last part so we can all see it.

Also, Hi.

[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;)

[minim_calibre]

Right. Because she doesn't already stick her hands on top of her head and say "Hail Clovis!" on a regular basis.

[water-of-fire.livejournal.com]

:) :) :)

The drugs work! But they're sort of scary, because they... because I don't like feeling drunk. But the fact that I can get relief from a headache is pretty awesome. I'm thinking I should go have an MRI because I have amazing medical insurance, but I don't want to know, you know?

::beams, wipes away a tear::

I'm so proud. That's my girl.

[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.

[artvixn.livejournal.com]

Got it! Thanks!

I guess being an intraweb goddess, you probably do get friended by random people. I hope you are getting good answers.

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!

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.
