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*)

Hello from the suspended LJ account holder!! :D

Okay, it's not suspended... the name has two "n"s instead of one. So... I'm actually here and am a real person that doesn't write offensively or blatantly disregard the LJ TOS. Yay, me! :)

Second, a bit about me. I am someone who has been sewing since I was a child. I have made my own clothing, my kids' clothing, curtains, bedclothes, costumes, dolls, EVERYTHING. I am in the SCA and love to read about costume creation and design. One of my favorite shows is "Project Runway" for that very reason. I think I found you a long time ago from a post in dressdiaries or somesuch and watched your unlocked posts for awhile and eventually friended you.

Oh, and it's that weird mixture of the smell of raspberries and green grass that probably hooked me. LOL I am currently an English Writing major and thoroughly enjoy reading lyricism... hoping to be wow'd!! :D

Agh! Sorry. I corrected the mistake last night, and then had to get off the internet before I could reply to your comment. Would you believe that I'm actually known for being anal-retentive about things like that in real life?

Yay! You sound cool. I used to study English lit with the intention of becoming a professor/doing literary criticism, but then realized I could not do that for the rest of my life.

Lyricism? OK, stop me if you've heard this one.

O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
Oh, stay and hear! your true Love's coming.
That can sing both high and low:
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
Journeys end in lovers' meeting,
Every wise man's son doth know.

Ta da!
