Yesterday, [livejournal.com profile] dr_nebula held one of his periodic friending frenzies.  I understand it was a roaring success.

Friending frenzies aren't really my thing.  But, just for giggles and grins, I'm going to do something a little different.  Unlike [livejournal.com profile] dr_nebula, I'm not going to ask you to toot your own horn.  Nope, I'm going to be meaner than that.

Here's my challenge/invitation:  I call upon you to recommend someone else, not already on my f-list¹, to myself and your fellow readers of my ramblings, introduce them, and explain why you chose that person to recommend.  Even one reason is enough — but you must be able to come up with at least one good, specific reason why you think either I or at least one other person on my f-list should friend them.

Have at it!

[1]  No, I'm not going to be evil enough to make you check all my readers' f-lists as well.  Just one level of list checking is enough.

[livejournal.com profile] urban_nature not so much a user as a group. veddy intereting local nature photography and facts and critters. i'd recommend the guy who created it, as he's all kinds of fascinating (a zookeeper), and post entertaining and thought provoking stuff about stuff and nature ([livejournal.com profile] urbpan and his 365 days of nature project from last year or so.

there are others, but you'll have to pick through my lists yerself. see who's in common with other people. one for now is good though.

I would like to recommend [livejournal.com profile] ceruleanst, because he draws the web comics "Absurd Notions" and "Why the Long Face" (albeit very irregularly), and because he creates ambigrams (http://ceruleanstimuli.com/ambigram/), which I find a very attractive art form.

Is there any particular reason you don't have [livejournal.com profile] mzmadmike friended?

Honestly though, there's not enough overlap between my friends list and your listed interest for me to recommend anyone to you. I can think of a few commonality points with a few people, but not many.

Uh ..... probably only that I haven't gotten around to it :)

I suggest not a person but a community: [livejournal.com profile] super_supper because you have picky children. It's made my life easier with coming up with things for a 10 year old to eat.

I'm not so sure I'd call them picky as particular.

How many kids do you know who would eat sushi and moghali eggs and pakora and pizza with blue cheese and apple and sausage fried with pineapple and beef cooked with carrots and coffee and chicken cooked with onions and mushrooms?

Well, our boy child will eat satay, gumbo, pad thai and anything with a peanut sauce on it but try and get him to eat veggies? Forget it!
