Been a while since I've done something like this.

Not a new meme, but a good offer to make every once in a while.

From everywhere:

"The problem with Livejournal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don’t know about you."

So… ask. Something you think you should know, but don’t.

Bard and I met in the office where he was working as a grad student at MIT, in 1988. I was visiting a friend from college who had dated him for a while, and who wanted to introduce me to him, saying that he had character flaws that I would probably think were features. We met before she got to actually introduce us, and on hearing I'd come out as bi, she actually tried to unintroduce us, but failed. I sorted my underwear from the trip I'd just come back from in his office, and noticed he'd been doing math on a white board using smiley faces and frowny faces as operators. Somehow, we were each charmed by the other's behavior. :)

LeDiva I met in the Truth or Dare pools on FurryMUCK in 2001, where we mutually snarked at people too oblivious to know better and made meta-jokes about feminist authors. We met in person at Anthrocon that year, and had a kind of intense immediate connection at that point. A new relationship was entirely not something I was looking for at that time in my life, but it was one of the best decisions I ever made to let myself be open to it.
