Befriendings

[deborah_c]

I've just noticed that at some point in the last few weeks, I've been added by a few people. If I recognise your name and know you, I've added you back, but there are a few people (brighton64, johncoxon and dagodfadda) who I don't think I know. Would you like to let me know in a (screened) comment here whether I should know you from somewhere, or whether this was a completely random drive-by friending?

Thanks,
Deborah.

John Coxon is okay. A 17-year-old bisexual with unstoppable enthusiasm and an ability to con desperate old men like me into cheerfully buying him beer. He goes to pub meetings with SF fans, and he lives in Peterborough.

He's also secretary of ZZ9.

Probably not a drive-by friending.

Liz points out that we met (for about, oh, 30 seconds) at Northfield Farm the other weekend. It's entirely possible that it was after that, although since he's defriended me again at some point this evening, I can do nothing with a somewhat easier conscience. (My friends list is a tad out of control already!)

I'm intrigued by your characterisation, though. Honestly, I wouldn't have thought someone's sexuality was necessarily the second most urgent thing to mention when introducing them, but maybe in his case that's true? Or maybe just on your personal scale of these things ;-)

I now also know who dagodfadda is, but I'm still puzzled by brighton64.

Errr.... As far as I knew dagodfadda was lying fallow, as it was something that I'd set up. Could you let me know who is using it?

'Cos, err.., it's got Ellie's picture on it at the moment!

[deborah_c]

Well, yes. By "know who it is", I meant "Liz noticed it has your email address..."

I'm a pilchard. Of course it was *me* who put you in as a friend in case a Certain Person needed to change to an anonymous journal.

Je suis un pilchard.

Sorry.

[deborah_c]

Ceci n'est pas un pilchard. Ceci, c'est une stevieannie :-)

Here, have a zebra.

hello, I've added you as a friend now :)

Hear you perform at FKO this past weekend, and so added you thanks to the kind pointer of Katyhh. However, we didn't actually meet at all, so it's ok that you don't know me :) -H...

Hi Deborah. bopeepsheep mentioned you to me (and apparently vice versa) way back in 2006. I just found that email and thought I'd look you up.

Do you mind if I friend you?

ntw - I just friended you too after the weekend :-) (Rhona, the short one ;-))

Hi - la_marquise_de_ said you were nice, we have a lot of friends in common, I've seen you at The Carlton a few times but don't know that we've spoken much.

[deborah_c]

Actually, we talked a little at Recombination, as well. I'm sorry I didn't get to speak to you last week -- it was the first time I've made it to the Carlton (on a Thursday, anyway) for about seven months, and there were far too many people to talk to!
