We Will Know Them By Their

[mrissa]

Continuing the "M'ris is mentally twelve" theme, last night upon meeting one of you poor people, I blurted, "Oh, you're one of my friends!" Livejournal. Aiding my social gracelessness since...hmm, only since 2003 or so, I guess.

eileenlufkin has a livejournal name even more sneaky and hard to decipher than mine. But some of the rest of you are quite pseudonymous. Others have icons that are not even trying to look like you. (pameladean, for example, has no wings. Neither does fairmer. matociquala does not look like any television spy ever...although I might very well watch a spy show with her in it if they ever made such a thing.)

So what I want to know is, if I don't know you know, how will I know you if I meet you? For the people who don't know you, how will they? You will be the one who's wearing lime green tights? You will be the one who offers to let people pet your stuffed head cold virus? You will be the one who mutters clever jokes about jazz saxophonists when you think no one is listening? Which one is you?

and I, as always, will be Dr Mung-mung.

Well, actually I'll be the quiet, faintly interested/amused looking guy in some neutral or green-toned polo and dockers carrying around a backpack. Unless I'm trying to get somehwere in a hurry, in which case my 'determined not to be late' face is often mistaken for a 'I'm really pissed' face. It's unlikely that I'll get to any major SF conventions, but just in case...

You are the one who looks like Kev. Before you got here, C.J. couldn't really picture what you'd look like, and then when you got here, he thought, "Oh, of course, he looks like Kev."

"Oh, of course, he looks like Kev."

Hurray for axiomatic me! Or would that be tautological me? Kev=Kev!

Either way, I'm glad my Kevness is self-evident, rather than him saying "Hmm, Kev looks like a Steve."

No Stevitude. Your Kevness shines through.

Hmm. Brains are strange places. And this is about to be a different journal entry....
