LiveJournal timbits

This heresy meme seems kinda interesting. I'll have to work on my own version when I've got the time.

And why am I surprised at all to learn that [livejournal.com profile] zanna_voodoo is one link away, at most, from [livejournal.com profile] tacit, whom I've never met in person, but learned about by spotting his awesome bumpersticker in the apartment complex in Tampa where I first lived when I moved there for library school in 1996?

I'm surprised I didn't know about [livejournal.com profile] dellaran's journal before, though. Perhaps if he friends me I'll see something more recent than the sad news of January.

Nope, Dellaran's LJ is nearly dead. He has me do the LJin'.

My link to Tacit is long and roundabout, oddly.

Is it LJ or Polyness that reduces the degrees of separation?

Well, you seem to know [livejournal.com profile] figmentj, who seems to know [livejournal.com profile] tacit, which doesn't seem all that long and roundabout.

I think it's both LJ and polyness. I think being poly just means you're more open to loving relationships with the people you know, not that you necessarily know more people—but I do think poly people know and keep in touch with more people, on average. (I have a dear friend in Tampa who's poly but he's shy and mostly likes hanging out at home.)
