[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.

Hi~ I need moar friends :( it sucks when all your coworkers are male (and by 'all' I mean 'yes really, the 36 other people in my org chart are all guys), and 90% of your choir is at least 20 years older than you and you are a lame-o who never leaves the house for other reasons than work or choir I should join a band /pityparty

Macey is one of the tiny number of people I have coexisted in a hot tub with. (I am pretty sure you were involved with that?) They are a coder & a fan & an ex-pat and I love interacting with them, because of their beautiful sense of humour (especially around maths!) & how very obvious they make it that maths & computing are creative endeavours.

oooh, it only took me till I was in my mid-thirties to figure out that what I do with code is TOTALLY creative.
