Introductions again

Every time my friends list tops another hundred I ask again for another quickie round of introductions. Now that there are more than three four five hundred of you (eek) reading this journal (aside from the lurkers), tell me, please, if you are so inclined: how did you find my journal? Why do you keep reading? (No need to feel obligated if you've answered this before, of course. In fact, no obligation in general. But I am nosily curious, I'll admit.) Thanks.

Actually you found me, to my pleasure, through [livejournal.com profile] kijjohnson, of course.

I keep reading why? I guess I find your struggles with writing compelling, and I have a slightly voyeuristic, "better you than me" reaction to your perils of child-rearing (one thing I'll say about cats: if they get parasites, you drop 'em off at the veterinarian's office and pick them up clean a few hours later). And I've met you face-to-face, though long ago, so that adds to the sense of connection.

Thanks! It's been fun to read your journal, too, Bob, and I'm glad we've had this way to keep in touch.

(Apropos of nothing, I keep meaning to ask you, because of your icon, have you ever heard Throat Culture's song "Easter Island Head"?)

That is hysterical. I must download that song immediately!

You mean you hadn't heard it before??? Oh, do--you are in for so much of a treat! It is hysterical. You are going to love it. Let me know after you've had a chance to hear it.

No, I've never heard it: I'm going to have to buy the CD through Amazon, I'm guessing. I'll let you know when I hear it, but I already love the lyrics. By the way, see my updated User Profile.

*goes and looks and cracks up* Outstanding!

My radio station played it again this morning, by the way! I did a search, and it looks like you can buy it here (It's the second album down, A Cappella Head.)

Hey! Thanks for the link. Off I go...
