On Congested Roads, Love Runs Out of Gas

[...]
The term "geographically undesirable" was once reserved for people with romantic potential but for the fact that they lived in, say, Chicago. Now, it can mean someone on the other side of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge

You say that like I'm not already dating interesting married guys. ;) *cough*shayde*cough*

[gsh]

Well, I said that to geminigirl, not to you, cause I knew
that you would know enough to ask my wife. :)

[geminigirl]

Zog. My world just got smaller. One day it will implode.

[geekchick]

Hee! Somehow I thought you knew that; I know Points through Shayde as well.

[geminigirl]

Nope. I didn't know. I was up in RI visiting Points five and a half years ago, or so, and we went to a party at Shayde's place, which is how I met Shayde IRL. Plus crossing paths with him and random other Bostonites on IRC....

[geekchick]

I have this sneaking suspicion that the world is going to end up being very, very small.

I met Shayde when Spam and I dropped Nathan off to help them move. Points I met via #homeport (I think; he should correct me if I'm wrong). I haven't been on IRC/EFnet other than #homeport in years and years, although I have this feeling that we probably know some more local folks in common.

[geminigirl]

Hee!

I met Spam at an Arisia party a couple of years ago. I have no idea where I know Nathan from...one of those people who's crossed into my life in more ways than I can count.

I know Points from usenet (soc.bi) or EFnet #bisex/#bi and #bdsm. I actually still hang out on EFnet and also on openprojects.net.

So how come we haven't met yet, to the best of my knowledge?

I'm not sure if we have or not. If we haven't, it's probably due to the fact that 1) I'm a sloth these days when it comes to going out and 2) I haven't really been hanging out with the local kinky crowd/#bdsm contingent in a few years (and wasn't using this nick at the time)

[geminigirl]

I actually don't know Don...and I only met Kelfay fairly recently. I've actually only been in this area for about 18 months or so...(again. I did go to college down here.)

And I pretty much avoid most of the local kink stuff...

I don't think we have; unless I met you at something not around here.

[geminigirl]

Okay. Now I know who you are even if I don't know who you are. And you're not the person I was afraid you were. You might remember me from IRC as anathema.

[geekchick]

you're not the person I was afraid you were

*grin* Well, that's reassuring.

What was that about small worlds again?

[geminigirl]

The world is collapsing?

Whoda thunk that a link to a Post article on dating would have spawned an all day discussion?


Okay...it's way past my bedtime, especially when I have to get up early to go to the wilds of West Virginia for two days. I'll talk to you more when I get back I guess.
