Friending Policy

[ap_aelfwine]

By all means, go right ahead.

But would you mind to drop me a note about it, if we've not "met" before? I'm a bit uncomfortable with friending back folk with whom I've not had any personal contact.

ETA: Goodness, looks as if I've got to backdate this further in order to keep it "sticky." :-)

Out of pure mad curiosity, how do you know both tree and leaf and sovay?

[ap_aelfwine]

sovay I met a couple of years back at NOMAD (the folk festival which migrated from Newtown to New Haven to Hamden and didn't happen in '08), due to the fact that she's a friend of a friend of mine who was also there.

tree_and_leaf I met online, through carlanime's LJ.

Out of the same mad curiosity, how'd you come to meet both, yourself?

[schreibergasse]

sovay through a mutual friend at notHarvard. She also got me onto lj.

tree_and_leaf is a friend of straussmonster, who suggested that I ought to 'meet' her, given that we were both Anglican medievalists who worked on Germany.

NOMAD: you might conceivably have run into my father-in-law, Arnie Pritchard, as well.

It sometimes seems like a very small world, doesn't it?

I might have. I have to confess that the name doesn't ring any bells, but it's been a couple of years and I'm terrible with names, anyhow. What does he play?

Storyteller, rather than musician.

[ap_aelfwine]

I have to admit that I tend to get so caught up in the musical side of those festivals--not to mention the catching up with friends side--that I tend to miss all the storytelling.

Well, if NOMAD happens this year, and if he's there, I'll make a point of going to hear him.
