Why am I on your friends list?

Comment and tell me, then (if you like) post this in your journal so I can tell you why you're on mine.

Because we are actual, real-life friends. How very pre-LJ.

[erikred.livejournal.com]

This is going to be a very, very common answer. Nothing wrong with that. :) Btw, nice Southpark icon.

[mkb-cbr.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Toby made it. I think it was meant to be insulting, but I dig it.

[glad2dance.livejournal.com]

Because we were friends in college, and I still think you're cool. :)

[erikred.livejournal.com]

Yes, but _I_ don't have a cool Kokepelli t-shirt. It's so good to see you healthy and hale.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

You're my token tall person. I have to fill my minority quotas or face the wrath of the LJ Police.

[erikred.livejournal.com]

Whew. I'm finally a minority. Can I shed my guilt now?

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

If you are now, or ever were, Catholic, the answer is no.

U R MY FREND because I saw you post good stuff in rone's journal, so I friended you. Well worth the $19.99 rone charged me, too.

[erikred.livejournal.com]

$19.99? But he only gave me $2. Why, that little--!

Alt.pub.dragon's-inn, alt.pub.callahans, etc.

[erikred.livejournal.com]

Gyah, and I haven't written anything read-worthy in forever. Where does the time go? Oh, yeah, work and the Internet.

[foomf.livejournal.com]

Neither have I, really.

Aspirations for authorishness are too easily diffused by things that are more distracting.

[narwhale.livejournal.com]

Because I found your journal through bas_lag and thought you looked cool and I wasn't wrong.

[erikred.livejournal.com]

Have I mentioned, by the way, just how much fun it is to read of your adventures in globe-trotting? 'Cos it's a blast. Keep it up.

[eumenide.livejournal.com]

Because even though we should have known each other at least for a wee bit in college, or right afterwards, somehow we didn't, and then years later the universe converged - and I said O my god, how tall are you? Because I am sometimes tactless.

[erikred.livejournal.com]

We are truly connected through that whole Cal web, aren't we. As for tact, well,

Ho! clear is here the trace of him we seek:
Follow the track of blood, the silent sign!
Like to some hound that hunts a wounded fawn,
We snuff along the scent of dripping gore,
And inwardly we pant, for many a day
Toiling in chase that shall fordo the man;
For o'er and o'er the wide land have I ranged,
And o'er the wide sea, flying without wings,
Swift as a sail I pressed upon his track,
Who now hard by is crouching, well I wot,
For scent of mortal blood allures me here.

Hades hath no Furies like those of a mother murdered.

[eumenide.livejournal.com]

:D

O, I do like you ever so much.

[bookishfellow.livejournal.com]

Because I want to keep up with you, and I'm a lousy correspondent and a worse phone caller.

[erikred.livejournal.com]

No worse, sir, than I. It's good to hear about your adventures.

[tagryn]

Let's see. First encountered your writing in callahans, way back when. I think I've always liked that you have interesting perspectives on things, a mind that is active & working.
