please feel free to introduce yourselves to each other in comments!

9. Are there two people on your reading list that you think should meet?

I am grumpily unconvinced by this one - I think public introductions are incredibly high-pressure and generally a rubbish thing to do to people - and even a list of people I think are awesome and worth subscribing to inevitably means I will miss people off. SO INSTEAD let us have a tiny subscription meme: introduce yourself in one alliterative sentence (if you feel like playing a game, and don't bother with the alliteration if you don't) and then feel free to expand (minus the alliteration) in conversation. I like it when you lot talk!

I am teeth-grinding and nightmaring and insomnia-ing. Slightly to my surprise, this appears to be the form my pre-period mood crash is taking this month; "surprise" because I'm not used to it being this mild. On the downside, this means that back-of-enveloping it, I'm... kind of due to be in pain and misery during Finals, but hey, what can you do, if I'm lucky stress and the vagaries of a slightly irregular cycle will see me through, and if not I shall just take LOTS OF DRUGS.

Quite quiet; questions?

[pipisafoat]

(pretty sure my answer to that question would have been "yes! now everybody should talk to try to figure out who it is they might want to meet.")

precocious pip plays poker poorly! (it is the only alliterative sentence I can come up with on my way out the door to an exam so PLEASE EXCUSE. while true (though I reckon I can't quite claim precocious anymore), the sentence is unrepresentative of me.)

Rachel runs, reads & readily wrangles code, coursework & kids.

I'm not good at alliteration, but I can do poetry:

There's the poet and the beader and the third-wave feminist,
And the queer white atheist—I've got zir on the list!
And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist—
I don't think ze'd be missed—I'm sure ze'd not be missed!

(Swiped from my alexconall profile with pronouns edited to account for this will not be seen by my meatspace folks, because I r lazy.)

Chris - canorous cantabrigian, creates code, currently copious calendar clashes (cause: cool chaotic queer quasi-choir collective), craves caffeine, cocoa, cuddles.

[forthwritten]

Apprentice academic, scholar errant, genderqueer feminist, occasional activist.

[swaldman]

Simon the super-evolved simian sits in Scotland and studies the sustainable sequestration of satellite-forced streams.

(which means I work on tidal energy. I couldn't think of any better Ss.)

[noldo]

Not notable, not nocturnal, not Norwich.

[ghoti]

Fantastic fish, forensics, fiber, fearful, frizzy, friendly, funny, foul-mouthed, frantic. Or something. >.

[azurelunatic]

Azz - administratively amazing, anti-spam amazon, awash in additional attention; amusing.

[emperor]

Cyclist (committed!), coffee-consumer, C coder, crappy 'cellist, Coventry Cathedral choral clerk, climber, Christian (catholic, CofE), cited, ceasing cow-counting. Career-change: commencing (continuing?!?) Cambridge computing. Clear?

[evilsusan]

Certainly surly, somewhat slovenly, silently silly.

[batrachian]

Technical, tangential, thoughtful, thorough, tall.

Probably other words, too, but I's not exactly a morning person, and alliteration is not one of the forms of wordplay that I'm gifted with. Alas. :(
