Who are all these tacky people and where did my pants go?

[joegoda]

One of the joys of having my lil episodes is that, depending on the strength of them, I can lose time or memories, or both. Hmm.. Time = Memories.. interesting concept. What if Time, and illusion anyway, is totally dependant on our memories, with are illusion anyway. Wait a minute! I think this has been discussed by wiser, older and better paid minds than mine! And I do indeed believe that the answer is Yes! or 42, depending. Anyway.. It's one of the joys. I have a buncha folks that apparently I'm friends with, and those that I do know, I'll say, and those that I don't, please feel free to take one step forward and remind me where we met. No, I'm really not kidding. Those folks that I have known a long time, or have ingrained themselves on my memory deeply stay much longer than those that don't. I may very well have met you, and just don't remember you. Once I get reminded, then it all comes back. Yay, the wonder of the machine that is me.

Sidebar: And if the memories aren't bad enough, there's always the disjointed thoughts that come unbidden into this great night I call a mind. And trying to get the fingers to follow the thoughts is like trying to tie jello into a knot and then to the tail of a very small dog. end of Sidebar.

I have this list here, see, of folks that have added me to as their friends. I even have one that is missing in action or possibly DOA. Sarawarafofera is nowhere to be found, and it seems her jounal has just kinda evaporated. Shame too.. she was pretty darned talented.

So here's my list. If I don't know you, I'll wonder who the hell you are and ask, ok? You don't have to respond, the stress won't kill me or anything and the wonder will just be that someone I don't know has actually listed me as a FRIEND! Ain't it a grand and wonderous world?

ladyh - check.. The Empress .. also can't live without

lorriejharris - ch.. wait a minute! Didn't we meet in Paris in the summer of '39? No, really.. I feel like I should know you, but I'm missing a tooth in the cog of memory here.

mrspolliard - check.. Nightangel
mstami - check.. NightDevil
mushka31 - check.. My puzzle woman, so many peices, so little time

sariabryant - er.. and you is, are, might be? Love the name baby, but your purse is on fire. Damn fine writer, too. But WHO are you?

spada_jon - check.. and not only check, but Check Sir! Step away from the gun, Sir, step away from the gun.
tapestry01 - check.. The only male angel in the bunch that I know of. This is the Prince to my Fool
thebruce - check.. John Carter of Mars (actually, I'd pick you, Bruce for Lazarus Long, but I don't think you WANT to live that long. That's my curse.)

Lorriejharris and sariabryant, come on down and be counted! I've read a wee bit o' your journal, both of you, and now I want to know who the hell you are.. or at least.. do I owe you any money, in which case you're gonna be waitin a long, long time. Just cuz i'm curious, you understand.

I believe, in my heart of hearts, that the Universe does not make mistakes, does not show malicious intent, and does not really care what socks I wear. There are no accidents, because the Winder of the Clock at the Center keeps it all running like a .. like.. well.. Clockwork. So unless you are CIA, FBI, or some other covert op that I have forgotten I was a member of, let me know, cuz it's darned good to meet you, even if we've met before!
