Getting to Know You

[akirlu]

Here's an LJ-meme suggested by del_c:

Friendship is often an ongoing process of discovery. What did you only just (or far later than seems reasonable to you) learn or realize about me, or one of your other Friends? I'll give you one for free: many folks seem to take quite a while to figure out that akirlu is just Ulrika backwards. (The forwards one was already taken, drat it.)

I only recently realized that liveavatar is really someone I've known for yonks -- it took a photo in athenais's journal to clue me; the pseudonym put me off the scent previously. Likewise, I didn't realize who bibiliophile is until she outed herself, even though I've known *her* since 1998. So I'm slow.

That you wear salwar kameez es. Was not my vision of you!

I don't know who liveavatar is - should I??

Prolly not. She started out in fandom at LASFS some time in the 70s, moved off to the Bay Area and is sort-of gafiated since many years, though she's still in LASFAPA, and has been to a Bay Area Corflu (or two?). For that matter she's posted sporadically to RASFF. So you're moving in somewhat overlapping circles, and may well have multiple acquaintances in common, but I don't think you actually know each other.

But I am unjustifiably chuffed to know the sekrit true identity of a fan on LJ before you. :)

Should I place her?

Possibly; I'm not sure. If you've ever been in LASFAPA, yes, and if you've spent much time Regency dancing at Bay Area events, probably. Her time at LASFS was before you or I; she was one of the original G'Hillions, as I recall (though I may be spelling that wrong, since I can't get a single hit on Google with any of the variants I can think of).
