Cheese lurkers and new "friends"

Jun 26, 2006 08:56

When I started my LJ, it was fairly underground. I had it locked to searching and no one I knew professionally was gonna find me by accident since I had a hard enough time finding anyone else over 30 here myself at first. Most of my readers were real life friends without LJs ( Read more... )

yeah, I'm working on that. I often must be upstairs yelling at sales reps or in the cooler working on cheese Definitely say hi if you see me.

I'm a Portland-based science fiction writer and novice cheese enthusiast. I believe we may have some friends in common in either the Bay Area or Seattle. Interesting lj, sir.

why thank you. It does appear we have many folks in common. I do always enjoy a nice visit to the Northwest.

i think i did a little intro when i first walked in, on my way to the bar.

cheese is a by-product of what drew me here. i was looking for over-30 SF folks who seemed to groove in similar ways. you and all those others

:: waving in the general direction of the corner where the loud laughter is heard ::

seem to have a good thing going, and i've "friended" a few of you. the writing speaks of what i'm seeing and doing in my life here. and sure, there's the hope that we might see one another at some real time setting with some real time libations.

you throw a good party.

oh yes, I remember your intro. You were a gecious newcomer. Not that any ettiqueete is really required for an LJ friend. I imagine we'll meet someday. You live in the east or south bay?

zokah June 26 2006, 18:10:06 UTC

well, better to err on the side of polite when approaching strangers.

live in oakland. run an amazing non-profit here in the City located on 6th and mission.

"gecious" = gracious. ugh.

Wow, which non-profit? you can backchannel if you don't want to out yourself.

Hi, I 'm Julia. I keep a boring journal full of angst and children. My best friend is Coconuthead" who talked about the things you wrote so much that I added you and yes, I lurk. But I also follow directions!

I also know beelavendar and streetdreams and about 10 other people on your list.

I enjoy reading your writing.

gordonzola June 26 2006, 17:57:07 UTC

angst and children aren't boring! who's your baduser name friend?

and thanks.

livsmama June 26 2006, 17:58:01 UTC

Coconuthead.

Sorry, I also type poorly.

Cheese shredder? Cheese metal? walktheplank June 26 2006, 16:32:01 UTC

Y'all should check out the photo of a guy playing a giant cheese guitar.
