What made you friend me?

[pne]

In relation to this meme I posted, I thought I'd ask one of those questions to you, dear readers.

Do you remember why you friended me? Why was that, and roughly when?

I friend people for a variety of reasons; some friend me back, some don't. Of those who do, it's not always expected, and there are some people who friended me first (some of whom I've friended back, some of whom I haven't). I wonder what brought you to my journal, and what made you decide to "stay". (Or what made you decide to let me into your journal, if you friended me mostly or partly to put me onto a "trust list" rather than a "watch list".)

And, if you want, ask me anything you've always wanted to know about me.

I probably discovered your LJ through n_true (through whom I found out about LiveJournal), but I believe I friended you because I then discovered that you were that Philip Newton (i.e. the one whom I had seen kicking around the KLI mailing list). It would have been not long after my LJ first woke up, which was in August of 2004.

...wow, that long?

And I'm still with your journal for several reasons; partly conlangs, partly just because I enjoy reading what you have to say on many topics (a refreshing change from the mind-melting, disappointment-inducing dribble that so much of the Internet is composed of these days), and a little bit because I don't have very many LJ friends. Fairly few of those comment on my journal any more, and I don't write very often, so it's nice to know someone who's an LJ constant - if I don't get on the site for a couple of weeks, I'm just about guaranteed to see a couple of interesting posts from you on there somewhere.

Hope you don't mind my staying about!
