I ran into someone from the MOO by complete coincidence ... my conference was in the same building hers was ... just this weekend. Seeing her reminded me about the 90's, and how we thought we were the postmodern gods. Reading Grant Morrison's The Invisibles, too. It all seems so dated now. Play was revolution.
I associate you with that time, with experimentation. You were always gentle, always about to get hurt, always on the brink of TMI ...
I'm glad your relational configuration stabilized, eventually, and I do miss you. I know you've been a very good friend to Rea and of course you and V. played matchmaker for us.
I don't really know you that well, in your new-ish life.
Okay, obviously my memory of those days has some GARGANTUAN sized holes in it....
Of being human, and limited, and caffeine and ulcers - this pops up for me too but in a quite different area. Self-knowledge; justice, what Crowley called justesse.
Nope, here we go. You're another person I haven't really seen in a while. I remember you as an almost-child really, running around with Ickypoo, what - jesus - eight years ago? Aieee.
You came in with a full plate of drama and demanded attention. It was fun and you're cute so we didn't really mind. Again, I'm glad you are now so cozy and domestic and you seem to have grown inside a great deal. Again, I miss you and I only really know you through your LJ.
This reminds me, I should friend up with v. and misia as well.
Okay, that's actually kind of funny, because I've never met Ickypoo! And I've been on MOO just under seven years, FWIW.
I didn't realize that I had a full plate of drama, thank you for mentioning that. It's interesting to think back to those times. V. and I are indeed very domestic now; in fact we are quite the homebodies and rather set in our routines.
I miss you and the Missus very much; we used to see you often and now we haven't seen you in so long.
It would be... interesting to know what you think of me, after all this time. But I will warn you right now that I'm not posting anything back in my own journal. So, whether you answer or not is totally your call.
I think when I knew you I was most concerned about your unhappy marriage, how you sort of walled it off and didn't deal with it. Obviously that has changed and now I see you through your words as happy crazy rather than crazy happy - if that makes any sense? Anyway, go you.

One hell of a man and I give you shouts back on integrity, you possess it in spades and also the fortitude to keep on judging and coming up with the right calls, and not just at tournaments. If you ever find a gig that appreciates you in moolah (rather than a plaque) for what you can bring to a gaming scene, make it happen. You'll be happy.

I'd never dream you'd be out on a ranch by now!
