home sick - and who are you?

[netmouse]

I'm staying home this morning with a cough and aching joints. I'm hoping by resting early I will avoid losing my voice like the co-worker who had this cold before me. I promised Bill I wouldn't spend the morning clicking on the computer but I remembered that said co-worker had friended me and I wanted to friend her back.

So I went to my "edit friends" page and was reminded there are a bunch of people who have friended me who I don't recognize at all. So I just wanted to post this invitation:

If you have friended me but have reason to believe I don't know you or might not be able to tell who you are by your LJ username or user info, you are invited to post here and tell me who you are.

Thank you. :)

I'm reasonably certain you recognize me, but just in case....

that I do...

I don't know whether this means me. I befriended you in return, probably long after you added me to your list.

We've met at a number of worldcons. I made it to one ConFusion and hope to make it back.

I don't post much. My comments to posts ratio is over 60:1.

I recognize your face, yet fail to remember your name. I would like your name... it bobs before me, unreachable, taunting. I know better than to reach for it. Names have defences.

But I might ask for it, anyway, when the sun is out.

Ack! I'm so sorry!

I do make deliveries of soup as a condolence prize. :/

At least you didn't get me sick. :)

don't worry about it.. we stock lots of campbells soups...

At least now I understand why you were so determined to get painkillers. I feel kind of lame, staying home when I know you pushed on and attended the conferrence when you felt this way...

...but I don't want to get the rest of the office sick.

Frankly I think it would be better to stay home and not pass it on. I couldn't really do that while we were at the conference. I would have yesterday but I had to corral the new co-worker. Today I'm feeling much better, and my voice is up to 60%. I'm getting into that period where you can sing sexy low notes. :)

Uhm... I dunno. I am Misha. I befriended you long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away, for reasons I do not currently remember, but I'm sure they were VERY good ones.

Yeah...

And I meant to buy your car's radio, but got too busy to drive up there.

Yeah...

HI!

[netmouse.livejournal.com]

Hi!

[fuzzyjelly.livejournal.com]

Uhh, I went to ConFusion this year and friended you after it. I hardly ever post, I just read.

[netmouse.livejournal.com]

so who are you? where do you live? what do you do? Did you like ConFusion?

maybe we'll get a chance to talk at Penguicon...

[fuzzyjelly.livejournal.com]

Hee, sorry. I'm Christine. Yes, I'm on concom for Penguicon, so I'll be there. ConFusion rocked! That was my first con.

I live in Clawson and am currently searching for an insurance job. Know anyone who's hiring? :-)

okay, cool. thanks!

Hi there, this is Benn, from Grinnell.

[netmouse.livejournal.com]

and have we met, or do we just know people in common?

[yuggoth.livejournal.com]

*blink*. But this is Benn! From Grinnell!

Backtable...used to hang out with Sabrina. I watched movies with you and Rob a few times in your dorm room. I have a wallet-sized picture of you that you gave me before you left.

Actually, come to think of it, I did not have the extra 'n' at the end of my name back then.

[netmouse.livejournal.com]

oh... *that* Ben(n)... hi!

(mumbles about how people seem adverse to mentioning last names on livejournal)

when you first started posting, it felt like I should know you, but I didn't figure it out.

sorry...

[netmouse.livejournal.com]

I guess that should be averse, not adverse...

[earthtomeryl.livejournal.com]

Meryl, wife of Tim from Grinnell since the wedding you attended in October. Sorry for adding to the confusion!

[asfi.livejournal.com]

OK, this probably includes me.

Hi, I'm Colin from Toronto. I've been to the past couple of ConFusions, among other cons.

Belated hello.

[tlatoani.livejournal.com]

I'm one of those people who's averse to mentioning last names on LJ, but my first name is Joe. I took the bullwhip class with Bill. Does that help?

who me

[hazelchaz]

My name's Baden. We've met (at Con Jose and ConFusion), I've got pictures to prove it.
