I live in a very strange town. This pretty much passes for normal here.

(And, for added amusement, note the comment by [info]deanmao near the bottom of the page.)

I'm going to miss that town. :-)

[info]l_prieto and I were eating lunch on Castro one day, and talking about progress on our then-current Works-In-Progress, in terms which made it quite clear that were were writing gay erotic romance. Nobody at the neighbouring tables got up and moved until our conversation drifted from WIP into talking about serial killers...

[grin] I'm a Usenaut (and Usenet is where I originally knew Brooks from). I didn't even have an icon when I was first dragged kicking and screaming onto LJ. When it became necessary to get one, I was less than subtle about it...

That's what I thought.

I've been there, I did a heavy dose of USENET from sometime in the early 80's 'till around the mid 90's. I've been drifting in an out since then. Like you, I only reluctantly joined LJ and it's ilk. Basically, I came here because it seemed that's where all my friends had gone.

*chortle*.

yesterday when grocery shopping (in our huge wholesale-type store), we were looking at their plants, and they had money trees. the paramour was wondering out loud why they're called that, and half-turned to the two asian-looking girls who were standing next to us to presumably consult their opinion on the matter (not because they were asian-looking, but because they were standing next to us). one of them said "i have no idea; i'll have to google that when i get home".

OMG. these are the fricking boonies. and random girls in the wholesale store google. my era has truly arrived.
