Hey New(ish) people.

[gordonzola]

Especially during and since my RSI experience, I have been really bad about checking out the LJs of people who’ve "friended" me, especially those of you who never comment. So, if you care about such things, let me know who you are and how you found me. Don’t be shy now.

Thanks.

I found you through someone (I forget who) on my friendsfriends page. They mentioned that you had an interesting year-end review thingy up, and I was intrigued by that and your LJ name--'cause I am a bit of a turophile. ;) Read your journal, found it interesting and well-written and that you're of a similar politcal mind, and added you!

You're a friend of hammerhead, and I liked your posts, so I added you as a friend...

Including me? I remember how I first heard of you, which was via donutgirl in reference to cheese, but that wasn't when I actually added you. I added you after being linked to your journal again via some other route, but I no longer remember what route it was. I went to your userinfo page just now to see if it reminded me, which it didn't, but it did cause me to discover the existence of the pro_scurvy community, which I am now completely enthralled by and am feeling a need to show to everyone I know.

Also, I've had RSI in my shoulders for the past 7 or 8 years, initiated by an un-ergonomically correct computer setup in college. The RSI never fully went away after the computer setup was corrected, but it's down to manageable levels these days.

i think you found me. but i'm commenting anyway, in fear of you deleting me.

[ericaceous.livejournal.com]

I think you added me, though I was aware of your existence through your comments in our mutual friends' posts (including but not limited to: amarama, fattest, felicks, and tragicmulatta).

Embarrassing disclosure:
In fact, I had sneaked over here to read you a couple times, but I held off on the adding due to your celebrity. I was sort of relieved when you said hi and added me first.

You were a recommendation from spoonfeeding, who would certainly get a link if I could remember the proper HTML.

i'm noemi- i write the zine hermana, resist amoung other things. You're friended by a couple of my friends.

I am one of stimps's sweeties and I found your journal when she said you were worth reading. And you are, and not least because you love cheese.

[fattest.livejournal.com]

I found you worshipping me as I cruised the rainbow cheese department.

[captain-grim.livejournal.com]

ayun recommended you highly. i find that you go well with a nice pinot noir, preferably a Napa or Sonoma.

[tuliphead.livejournal.com]

i found you via substitute and stimps, and when it turned out you were interesting, fond of cheese, and local to me, i couldn't resist!

[chanson.livejournal.com]

I think I found you because jwz pointed to something you wrote, or something.

I read your LJ in NetNewsWire (via the RSS feed) rather than through my friends page. I tend not to friend people I don't know...

I just added you, one ha'minute ago.

[trinker.livejournal.com]

We have a bunch of mutual friends, but chiefly elusis.

hi. i don't remember why i added you a while ago, but it was because 1) i buy food at rainbow at least once a week and 2) i am fond of your writing, it frequently makes me feel like there is hope for sf after all. some people disagree, but me, i like to be an optimist. AND 3) your name. it's funny.

so will you clear something up for me? are you M or F? once in a while, i look over at the cheese section between madly dodging sunday shoppers and wonder which one is gordonzola...

my bets are that you are M but my boyfriend thinks you're a F.

???

Haven't friended you yet...

[hawaiianrose.livejournal.com]

I haven't added you as a friend yet but I was going to ask if you mind... I think I stumbled across your journal through anarqueso's . I don't live anywhere near Ca, in fact I live in Nashville TN, but I've been there once and just generally appreciate your writing.

horf.

hi, i'm eric. found you because jwz pointed you out to me after i mentioned that i was getting in to cheese. a great cheese and wine place opened right near my house in alameda, and the owner has been talking to me about my purchases and helping me out a lot.

i had some st. andres at liaison bistro in berkeley the other day, and it ruled. also some explorateur. those and the chevre coated with spices on the outside are some of my favorites right now. haven't really gotten to much outside of soft cheeses yet.

er, about me: i play in a bunch of industrial bands. i have a boring job. i have spikey hair, and my girlfriend makes horror films. that's about it.

[effluvia.livejournal.com]

I asked my friends list to recommend some fresh meat, and someone recommended you. Muy bueno.

I like it when people talk about San Francisco. I was there but night before last.

Bored and did an interests search on Linton Kwesi Johnson, and yours was the first journal I found that actually had content. And it's good content, too. I'm probably just passing through; hope you don't mind.

RSI sucks - I hope you've got decent coping strategies. My partner couldn't work for months because of it. Now she's got a less technical job, things are much better.

i've been reading friends of my more interesting & well-spoken friends and found you on spaceoctopus' page. i like your writing style.
