I owe a lot of people calls/email

[redbird]

Inertia is a thing, shyness is a thing, and even health issues are a thing. And I miss a lot of people, most of them happily still alive. Not making calls or sending emails doesn't work, and I'm hoping that maybe calling and emailing will.

So I emailed L this afternoon, having been reminded of her by sitting in front of a bowl of congee and two plates of noodles, by myself, at Kim Fung on Wednesday. After that, well, at Boskone I separately agreed with nineweaving and gfs that we would try to get together in mid-March, after the different things that were keeping us each busy were done with.

I'm not going to run down the list of people I want to call/email here. If you think I owe you email or a phone call, you're almost certainly correct, and I'd love to hear from you if you have the initiation energy.

I'm putting this here in the hope that doing so will encourage me to make more of those calls.

You don't owe me anything, and I'm not really in any shape to do anything, but this is a good time to say I wish we could hang out more.

I hear you re inertia.

And this is just to say you owe me nothing but, should you find yourself back in my neck of the woods, I would enjoy seeing you again.

I actually have a calendar entry for next week that says "lilacs? If so, ping Anne." What does your schedule look like these days?

*cheers you on*

If there's any debt between us it absolutely goes the other way, but/and when I am more settled at my new job we'll figure out lunch.

It's weird to see my initials without it being me, especially when we talked at Boskone and I think I remember something about working on seeing each other.

Alas, the universe has conspired to most likely keep me out of Massachusetts for most of the next 4-5 months, and to remind me that I need to let go of at least some and probably many of the things I'd like to do.

Sigh....

I did mean you, and misremembeed your handle. I'm sorry for the confusion, and sorrier that the universe is so conspirnig.

Ohhh...I do sort of remember that! Off Sun afternoons, and all Mon/Tues.

Hey, no worries. Even I wondered if I'd set up a gfs Dreamwidth account when I saw your link. I use my initials for email, so it would have made sense and been consistent with other things if I'd used it here.
