okay, let's do this thing.

Part of being on Livejournal.com is inevitably gaining a number of LJ buddies. Unfortunately, as time wears on, it's easy to forget where all of them came from. Post this in your journal and have your friends respond with how they recall first 'meeting' you.

Um, I stole you from cmshaw's friendslist and then curling.

I think.

(Woo, curling!)

It was in a small cafe in Paris. The War had just ended, and one of my contacts in the Resistance passed a rose-scented note which said that the infamous spy - Le Reynard - wished to speak with me. Naturally I was intrigued. Et voila!

(Psst...are you coming this weekend? I never got an answer back from the last email)

[raises eyebrow in gallic fashion]

it appears madame has mixed her metaphors memes.

(i never had time to answer the last e-mail. this job blows, man. but fortunately it pays [cough] big bucks.)

(i can't come up this weekend. as i told darthrami, so she'll tell you right after she tells you i'm a poopy-head, i'm fighting off a nasty summer cold with a whip and a chair, would certainly wear myself out and lose the fight if i took a trip this weekend, and can absolutely not afford to be sick right now. :-( i am Very Sad. but be sure to have extra fun for me, and consider the bright side to be the fact that nothing is contagious from 300 miles away. [g])

[bethbethbeth.livejournal.com]

She *did* tell me you were a poopy-head, just this morning! *g*

Feel better, hon. I'm sorry I won't be seeing you this weekend, but I certainly understand the "needing not to collapse" thing.

[rowanfairchild.livejournal.com]

darthrami dragged you along to that hotel in DC. (Doesn't that sound salacious? *g*)

[sharp-tongue.livejournal.com]

My axe!

I met you through restituere where I am the second Lucius and you are the one and only Macnair.

*pets Mac and tries to foist pretty young men on him*

So I heard about you a lot from mearagrrl. She described this "[Your real name] did this" & "[Your real name] bought a VW" and I think you may have come to 1014 parties, if I remember correctly. But I have to say that I got to know (not not that way you dirty-minded girl) you through darthrami when you ended up on the 1014 couch practically weekly. Ever since then I call you fox, but I have trouble remembering your real name.

BUBA!

[darthfox.livejournal.com]

dude! i was going to say you had some 'splainin to do, but i'd have been wrong! buba is correct!

Good times! What is it with me and all of the positive ex-boyfriend experiences lately?

[jamie]

mostly TPM but I b'lieve we had actually crossed paths silently in DS or TS before then.

[darthfox.livejournal.com]

negative, negative -- TPM was my first online fandom. got here in the fall of '99. so you may be thinking of someone else? (or, i suppose, you may not have realized i'm the same fox ... ?)

[jamie]

mixed you up with someone in my head, so definitely TPM then and m_a and phantom slashers

[shezan.livejournal.com]

So was it because of TPM that you joined Echo? I was wondering whether you hadn't been at CompuServe all along.

Saw you first in Bethesda when i was staying with my then-friends who live there. (We don't talk any more. Had a flaming political row in which I found myself having to justify Sharon and all chickenhawks. And pro-war democrats like Tom Lantos whose sole motivation was supposedly Israel. At which point I decided that the antisemitic flotation line had been reached, and bailed out.)

And I met Agent Reynard in Paris recently, of course, in a small restaurant on rue Tiquetonne. (I assume your RER ride back to Roissy was okay - it was good of you to come into town for this.)

[gaeta.livejournal.com]

BH sent out the alert. You friended me immediately.

Thank you for that. :~)

[rev-tobias.livejournal.com]

Well, shezan pointed you out to me as part of the former Echo gang that now had virtual homes on LJ. Of course, we met on ES before LJ.

That cold lonely alley...

[orange852.livejournal.com]

No, wait. That was the squirrel incident.

Our paths crossed when T dragged you into the SVS as her beta-reader. You were one of the three people who kindly but firmly demonstrated I didn't know my a$$ from a hole in the ground about grammar and stuff.

[maliwane.livejournal.com]

If memory serves (and I ain't promising), I met you on Echo, talked about MA constantly, and then you were on MA.

So, if I am correct (and that is ALWAYS a big if), I may actually be responsible for . . .

Nah, probably not.

[merrycontrary.livejournal.com]

MAC!

Honestly, I adored pond_scum before I really knew you. But then I found that you were even better than your alter ego! Be still my heart.
