Friending frenzy, à la dr_nebula

[unixronin]

It's not actually dr_nebula's fault.  yndy started it, with a "Tell me who I'm missing" post, in which she said to all comers, "[...] knowing me as well as you do (however well that is) who on your FL would you think I really ought to know?"

But I've never, ever felt comfortable trying to pick people who I think would get on together.  Anyone who knows my disastrously hit-and-miss record in personal friendships etc would understand why.  So I'm taking a leaf from dr_nebula's notebook instead.

So if you're reading this, whip out your comments, and say a little about yourselves and what you think makes you interesting or worth knowing.  For myself, I'll just rest on fruitylips' statement, slightly edited for reference:  "[unixronin] is a known loon."

He is a LOON..but friend me anyway

Well, I am teh doctor and I'm always looking for new subjects, err...'readers' to experiment on. I post a wide variety of topics (science, history, work-day weirdness and full scale 'rants'), plus post SHINYS - which are usually astro images.

Friend away..

Okay, because I got to be inspiring today, I'll play...

I'm yndy and I'm fortunate enough to know both unixronin and dr_nebula and knowing either of them is a good recommendation in my book.

I don't usually play in friending frenzies because I'm such an elitist and it tends to freak people out.

Best I can say is that if you read my user info (http://yndy.livejournal.com/profile) and my few public posts and you haven't either run screaming for the nearest exit or picked up a heavy-gauge weapon and come in search of me to settle a score... Then we're probably off to a good start.

I'm definitely not a 'one size fits all' kinda gal.

I wish I could just adopt unixronin's loon comment... but I'm more of an unknown loon. An arrogant, opinionated, fiercly loyal, verbose, unknown loon.

I am on LJ simply to keep up with old friends. I don't know why, but somehow I wandered into unixronin's flist. I am currently a college student, working on my undergrad degree after a career. You can check out my bio and decide if you want to friend me. I have seen your comments elsewhere, but I have no strong inclination to add to friends. If you are interested in my blathering, chances are, I would be interested in yours. I will leave the choice up to you.

Okay, given that I already had to read more than one of your entries out loud to my husband (polityx) I'd say it's a safe bet that your blatherings are right up my alley!

Nice to meet you! Thanks for the heads-up... and looking forward to getting to know you.

I already added you to my FL.

[ithildae.livejournal.com]

Welcome aboard. I look forward to getting to know you, likewise.

I brew beer, mead, cider, vinegar,etc.

I cook. well.

I can handle unixronin's accidental habanero rice.

I'm a gun toting hippie.

I'm somewhere between old libertarian and black flag anarchist.

I do a lot of stuff- electric vehicles, computery things, construction, mechanics... I'm good at making stuff and fixing stuff.


I am also a loon

"Tastes like burning...." became hotter with dried habs.

Not a Loon

I'm strong introvert who likes to cook and is desperately trying to understand the electronic world.

Hello...

[tanngrisnir.livejournal.com]

I found my way here from your comment to my comment to that post by yndy. I see some common interests in your profile, so I thought I would introduce myself.

I don't know if this is interesting ormakes me worth knowing, but I am:

• Scottish
  
• Occasionally morose, often jovial
  
• A Heathen (see here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/paganism/subdivisions/heathenry_1.shtml) if that puzzles), who runs a general moot in Glasgow and a Heathen one (http://www.yggdrasil.omnia.co.uk/).
  
• An SF fan (apparently responsible for rebooting Trout, the Glasgow SF fan group: see glasgow_fen; and one of the brains behind a planned con in Glasgow: see satellite_1)
  
• A lover of real ale, good whisky and good food, with a particular liking for spicy food.

See? Nothing particularly interesting there, move along...
