Good grief, Charlie Brown! I've been here seven years and two months! That is truly mind-blowing! Y'know what's really... odd? This means I've been cyber-acquainted with  zannah for nearly eight years... yet I've never met her In Real Life. Still, I feel like I know her, like she's a "real person" in my "real world." Most of my internet contacts/friends have come from the Zannahsphere -- and of those who haven't, most have become at least tangentially a part of the Zannahsphere. I met  dblume via Z's sites. And Sjon. And Pastilla. And Frieza. Nari, of course. And... well, like I said, almost everybody. I need to move "Hang Out With Zannah IRL" to the top of my 43things list, I think. I hope the Russian mafioso don't ruin this place. I'd be sad. Interesting links, btw. I read 'em all. Even the overly long ones. (My response to your "Twitter's Damaging Effect" post is pretty funny, reading it a year later. Did I really write that? The irony is, in the past year, after all that griping and moaning about the shortcomings of micro-blogging, I'm sure I've posted a much higher word count myself at Plurk & Twitter than I have at LJ. At least Plurk has comment streams, which is far more interesting to me than Twitter's largely one-way approach.)

I don't remember whether I found Found first or whether /usr/bin/girl was first. Or maybe the Appartment 4-o-4 or what was it's name. I realy am not sure. How did one find things and people in those prehistoric, pre-Google times? She sure is one of the longest time online-friends. In well over six years on LJ I have seen a lot of people come and go. And come back. I intend to one day (yeah, when I got time to burn) to make a world-tour and phisically visit each and everyone of my online-friends.
