If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Curiosity - who are those who fit this thought for you, if I may ask?

And no, this is not me fishing because I am someone you know only via internet - just curious to discover some of those who make your world a better place, and see who else you know only via internet or only would have met through that media.

regardless of the fishing....

you are at the top of my list.
so is xerotica who i IM'd because he was funny on someone else's lj. i have since met him in person and found him to be just as cool as i thought.
but others who have honestly made my life better or more interesting include crowyhead who is an amazing book reader, and genuinely nice person,
cecilialark who deals with pain and littlelings in an amazingly mature and compassionate way,
plsurkity who is very creative and whom i hope to meet in person some day.
and moderngypsy who runs a podcast that makes my life better every week.

there are several others, but those are the ones that stand out the most.

Er. Yipe.

And thank you for answering. I do have this vague concept of continuing my random stalking of friends of friends, and data like this helps me organize the order.

There are a few skills I completely lack. Sometimes these lacks cause surprise or an eep or yipe response.

i would not recommend moderngypsy to you w/o the podcast background. she is silly and dirty-minded and you might be entertained...but then you also might not. crowyhead and xerotic i highly recommend. they are good people that i would want to hang out with often if they lived closer.

Secondary comment, coming from something else you posted a while back, but tagging it on this entry because I've already closed the original tab, if that makes any sense?
Is Zokutou dead?

who is zokutou?

[keisolo.livejournal.com]

You had a post where a word count thingie led me back to a site associated with them. Looks pretty nifty except for the fact that the last anthology they released was in 2005.

alas, i don't remember anything other than the use i mentioned below.
she is definitely not dead. :)
