Chain of Causality
Sep. 23rd, 2009 11:44 amAt least ten, if not eleven, years ago, I joined the Lois McMaster Bujold mailing list. Before I jumped ship before drowning in 600+ messages a day two to three years later, I made a friend. That friend is ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
commodorified.
About three or so years ago, I noticed a friend of hers,angevin2, when browsing her Friends List. I seemed to have a lot in common with her--an interest in Shakespeare, medieval English kings, an obsession with what happens when you cross the streams of history and literature--and friended her accordingly.
Then, about a year ago, I noticed a really neat iconangevin2 had. It had been made by poisoninjest. After poking around her journal, I friended her, even though it didn't seem as though she had updated in a while.
Well,poisoninjest eventually came back, and we turned out to have a lot in common, so she friended me back.
On Sunday evening, after my house was broken into and my car stolen, I got an email from her asking for my USnail mail address.
Then these showed up today:
(And isn't my lack of chin just disturbing? Stupid Smith gene pool.)
There were also a lovely pair of amber and pearl earrings as well.
The enclosed note read:
So thank you,commodorified, thank you, angevin2, and thank you most of all to poisoninjest. Also, if you like them, you should absolutely check out her Etsy shop, Idol Ceremony.
What did we do before the Internet?

Sorry to hear about your car. Hope these cheer you up. I noticed you had them "hearted" on Etsy.
