So, at work there was this thing with a re-org and this new Sr. Director added to be head honcho of our department, and it's all very corporate bullshit nonsense as far as I can see, but it is what it is, and I just keep my head down, do my job and nod and clap at the appropriate places.

Clearly I don't ask enough questions. I never knew half these things about you. I was pleased for the few I did know, though. :D

I hope you don't mind but I think I am going to gak this idea and post it in my LJ, maybe we can start something, heh.

I bought a new banjola last year, the fancy banjola of my dreams, but it's not like I threw the other one out, and it's currently sitting sad and alone in a corner. You want a banjola?

Dude. I always watch you play, and once I get past the "she's so awesome" , the next thought is "i wish I could play that!"

Can I hit you up for a lesson in banjola 101?

What time? At your place? Though i have never been by since your move, I glance up every time I pass (and also am jealous of your proximity to De Dutch)

That's a good list for corporate folk... it's personal enough and geeky enough to be a 'real' person without really giving away how really fannish you are and what your other fandoms are...

And some of that is cool... welding is something I'd never expect, but once I remember your jewelry thing, that makes sense...

Go with it... you're good!

I actually love welding! If I had a garage, I would have acquired an oxy-acetylene rig. I've made some cool things out of steel plate, like bookends and name plates, and miss doing it.

I know! She's such a lovely person, and if I ever meet her again, I'd love to tell her what an impact that made on me and how many people were touched by the story. Such a simple thing but so meaningful.

I love your list! And OMG, Nichelle Nichols! I love her so much, and that is an awesome story.

It really is- it's my favourite fannish story to tell.
