You know, as someone who's met none of y'all in real life, it's great fun reading Livejournals without being quite aware how everyone knows each other and having to work everything out based on Random Details. (It doesn't help that I constantly forget people's real names, when I even know them, and fairly frequently their sexes.) It's like what C.S. Lewis said about reading Grimm in German without looking anything up, and having to guess what it was that the old woman gave to the prince that he afterwards lost in the wood.
