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."

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.

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