Meetings
If I hadn't gotten engaged to BJ, I wouldn't have come to Phoenix. If I hadn't come to Phoenix, I wouldn't have met Darkside and Votania. If I hadn't met Darkside, I wouldn't have been directed to the FOGclub message boards. Without those, I wouldn't have met
godai.
godai and Dennis K. were instrumental in my joining LJ. LJ is, of course, where I met
iroshi, though I haven't the foggiest who met who where and how.
But wait!
I have been on the Bujold list off and on since the mid-to-late 90's. She's been on there too. She mostly lurked; she vaguely recalled the young woman who'd just gotten engaged, the one whose fiance had kidney stones, and whose in-laws-to-be were the wrong religion, very much and antagonistically so.
Every now and then I trace the paths of coincidence that I wander down, and find other ways to map it. I could have come to Phoenix for the weather: I was getting royally sick of the snow, and was throwing bitchfits about it. Phoenix would have been hot enough... and I'd been contemplating DeVry as a tech school (EET, I might have gone for) from high school.
Yeah, I could have gotten here from there.
