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.

[warsop.livejournal.com]

<-- What she said, to the letter. :)

[halfjack.livejournal.com]

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!

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

You're not new! We bonded long ago over that Parmigiano Reggiano, I believe.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

Thanks. But you know what's interesting? Never once in almost 10 years of cheese work has anyone said "Turophile" to me in person. I think it's one of those words people like to write more than to say.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

Ha. When I posted this entry I didn't even know you had "friended" me. I would have recognized your name form that other place. Welcome.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

ok then, same response.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

I don't really hate joggers, you know.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

yes, Pro-Scurvy brings folks together!

Luckily I was able to quickly stop my RSI from getting worse and, as of this moment, my arm is doing really good despite cutting the hardest cheeses known to humans today. So far so good. I'm thankful for responsible co-workers who pushed me not to push things.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

My god. Tea, you are not new. You are not in danger of being deleted, and yes, I "friended" you originally. Stop the fear-mongering. There may be impressionable newbies out there.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

I held off on the adding due to your celebrity.

Oh my. If this is being a celebrity, those pop stars are right to whine.

How do you get "celebrity"? Is it from amarama? See, she likes to build me up so that she can attack with full vitriol and seem justified. I'm her LJ strawman.

"Celebrity" sheesh! I'm just sitting at home alone tapping on a keyboard instead of interacting with irl humans. I hope this isn't as good as it gets.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

That might be one of the sweetest things anyone's ever said to me.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

It's all true.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

Spoonfeeding's one of my faves.

(lj user="spoonfeeding") if you want to know. but with those other things instead of parentheses.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

Awwww. thanks for reading. Someday I'll visit Vancouver, you know. I've lived on the west coast my whole life and never been.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

Yay for locals. I'm sorry if you didn't like that cheese, btw.
