[introductions] whoever you are, no matter how lonely

[kaberett]

Quoted from liv, the inventor:

If you would like to, please comment to this post, and I'll introduce you to everybody else by giving a reason why I think you're great. Some people I know better than others, so I can't promise all my introductions will exactly encapsulate why someone might want to get to know you. You're also welcome to comment to someone else's thread and ask for a specific introduction to that person; I know some people are more confident than others about just jumping in and introducing themselves to a stranger. I am also happy to matchmake if you would like that; ask me for a recommendation of a personal journal and / or community from my circles.

And of course, feel free to repost this game in your own journal, if you think it would be a good way to make connections between some of your people. I think this could go quite well if it spreads a few hops away from here, but also worth doing even if no-one picks it up.

Tagged "love meme" because, well, in its way it is, just taken slightly skew; post prompted by the presence of a beloved colleague & collaborator.

May I?

This is the Boything.

When I was depressed beyond moving, he came around regularly to chivvy me out of bed and into the shower. While I was showering he did the washing up. I end up crying my eyes out on him at 1am once every few months. I am grumpy and sulky and extremely growly in the mornings, and he takes care of me anyway. I cannot even begin to express how grateful for this I am. He makes me happy and contented and safe.

And: he is a CHEMIST and I get to talk CHEMISTRY THINGS with him, though we also grump at each other about ~computer stuff~ (that being his Main Thing these days). He designs puzzles and he games enthusiastically and comprehensively; he likes fairy tales and strange magic and grumpy cats and people. In public, he pretends to be dignified.

I cannot even with the words. ♥

Dear sir,

Due to your love for Nobilis and our general overlap in interests, and that you come so highly recommended by kaberett, I am left with no choice but to propose we embark upon a glorious friendship. Should you find yourself willing to pursue what I hope to be a mutually fulfilling arrangement, I am available mostly through gtalk, email, and DW.

I am too tired to give this the reply it deserves, so I'm going to settle for "yes please, that would be lovely", and I'll try to come back to it with a bit more brain tomorrow.
