Attention, lurkers

[pegkerr]

Gacked mostly verbatim from nmalfoy: Lurkers out there, yo, today's your day. Whether you're a LJ-lurker or from someplace outside reading this journal, you are the reason this journal isn't locked by default. So, come out and say 'hi' or something. Tell me what you're doing here, how you feel, who you are, whatever. Today's the day to seize and be un-shy for once.

AND tell if you are a regular reader of this journal or just like to drop in when I'm being snarky or whatever. You can tell me what you like and what you don't like about it. It's okay; I'd like to know, and I have pretty thick skin. Well, usually.

Or just drop in to say hi... because it would be nice to know if there's more than the same 8 or 10 people that gets good use out of this journal, you know what I mean?

(And yeah, this means you, too, Mom. Leave a comment.)

I've read your LJ for a long time and probably would never have delurked if it weren't for the fact that our mutual beloved friend is going through such an upheaval. When it was at its worst, you reached out halfway across the country and opened yourself to us, a group of IRL strangers whom you yourself knew only through LJ entries. I respect and admire you for closing the circle and adding your wisdom and perspective. But before then, I read for several reasons: because you are so important in the life and heart of our friend; because you are (you know) a very fine writer and you share *so much* of yourself so courageously in this journal; because your life is so different from mine and I find that interesting. Surely there will come a time when you are able to come out here for a visit, see a little of this region that I love so much, and meet all of us in person.

Very best regards to you and your family. And be sure to tell Fiona that I have a ferret with the same name!

Getting to know Kij's Seattle crowd better has been one definite silver lining to the thunderclouds we've all endured the last several months. I would love to meet you if/when I get out to Seattle. Don't know when that will be!

I'll pass on your message to Fiona. That's truly fun--"Fiona" is a pretty rare name here in the states (unlike the UK) that she hasn't met many other people who share her name, much less a ferret!
