Dear non-friended friends . . .

[msmcknittington]

I have about five people who have friended me but I have not friended back because I do not recognize your names! I friends-lock the vast majority of my posts, so it appears that I post maybe twice a month. (I'm probably underestimating this.) I dunno, there was a Russian invasion a couple months ago and I went into Cold War lockdown. I have no idea why. It made me paranoid. I bought canned goods and built a bunker.

So, friends who are unfriended, namely fireflykiwi, kegzilla, lirianna, trinawaidler and voske, tell me about yourselves. How did you find my journal? Why did you friend me? I have no state secrets, just so you know. And my finger certainly isn't on the pulse of America's youth.

(Friended friends, you don't have to do this. I know I'm on your friends lists because I smell delicately of raspberries and cool green grass and my lyricism makes grown men weep tears of profound sorrow and joy, all at once -- an admixture of poignant proportions.)

(I can hear you guys laughing from here. It's OK. I have that effect on people. *patpat*)

Dude. WTF is going on with the friending from suspended LJs? I have *two* of those now, and it doesn't make me much happier than the Mystery Russian Invasion did.

Aha ! So it's not just me being awfully paranoid : i went back to friend only some weeks ago because of that.

Okay, that's annoying... I think I am going to log out and back in to LJ. :/

Your lyricism. Yeah.

There's lyricism? Raspberries? Cool green grass?

Damn. I was hoping for cookies.

But....I don't like raspberries. But I do like you. ::brain assplodes::

Hello!

I liked your posts on costume_snark and your name intrigued me, so I looked you up on and find you had made a great aviator hat pattern.

So, I'm interested in knitting and vintage/historical clothes. I'm also a freelance editor, a history nut, an information junkie, an academic sf&fantasy geek and a voracious reader. I studied Liberal Arts with degrees in Women's Studies and Celtic Studies.

And I'm actually not Russian but Dutch. Honest.
