hello, are you del.icio.us/alicetiara? if so please reply. i am working on an undergraduate research project identical to your /thesis which is pulling my interests far into the future. your links have helped me immensely andi wanted to thank you. i'd also like to know how your thesis is going.

i am del.icio.us/topsyturvy.

[vacuuming.livejournal.com]

sorry, i just read your user info and suddenly it all made sense.

add me back or drop me a line!

[alicetiara.livejournal.com]

Yes I am!! Wow, that is so rad- I'm glad my links have helped you. What is your project on exactly?

My email is alice tiara at gmail dot com.

[museumfreak.livejournal.com]

shameless self-promotion, but you might get some help from my del.icio.us/museumfreak too, if you like her stuff.

[schmarian.livejournal.com]

somehow I missed this. I've been reading your blog for a while (since post-Wellesley, actually) so if you wouldn't mind friending back, that would be great.

[alicetiara.livejournal.com]

Added!

[charliegrrl.livejournal.com]

I would be interested in being added...i have read you from time to time and you are entertaining and smart. :) I know you IRL through Atonal and others... I am also in the COM dept at UW so your educational persuits are in line with my interests as well....anyway... hi. :)

[cherryraincoat.livejournal.com]

Hi, I hope you don't think this is weird, but I'm a suburban high school girl from Ohio and when I was 15 I stumbled upon your webpage about riot grrl music/sexism in the punk rock scene. I've read your journal ever since and have missed your entries ever since you made it private. Add me?? My journal exists only so I can have a friends page, so it wouldn't be another journal you would have to read.

Your webpage got me into Sleater-Kinney, who are now my favorite band. The internet is a crazy place.

[aidansean2.livejournal.com]

Hi, your journal sounds interesting. Could you friend me please? I never post anything on this account (it just accumulates feeds for me) so I'll never add anything to your friends page.

Thanks in advance,

Aidan

I stumbled on your lj...

[sporkly.livejournal.com]

Sounds so clumsy, doesn't it?

Found you through , thought it would be nice to read your lj.


I don't post that often - mostly bits of megalomania that doesn't fit elsewhere.


:-b

[jasminelily.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's Jasmine! I just friended you.

[alicetiara.livejournal.com]

How on earth have you been on LJ since 2002 and I didn't know?!

[jasminelily.livejournal.com]

At first I was just using it with a handful of people that I knew from elsewhere, and wasn't really posting or on in much detail, so didn't really bother to add different people. But then lately I've been on a lot more, and just kept forgetting to friend MJers, until Lindsey posted today and linked us to her LJ.

[thecnote.livejournal.com]

I've just added you because we have a handful of top notch friends in common. Somehow I missed meeting you at elkay's party in Seattle, though.

[alicetiara.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Added.

What do you look like? Are you sure we didn't meet?

[thecnote.livejournal.com]

I'm really tall (plus had heels, so was 6'+ that night), had a brown dress & little denim jacket and hair in knots due to an awkward state of growing-my-hair-out mess. I'm sure we didn't meet. I saw you, but we were never talking to the same people, and you left early and I think I asked optic who was that girl? And he said Alice... and I thought damn, that's Lindsey and John Yee's Alice, and now I know you're also Tom and Mike and Peter and everyone else's Alice. It's a tiny little world!

[alicetiara.livejournal.com]

Yeah, doesn't sound like we have ever met. I was very flustered that day because on my way to the party I went to get gas, and ended up spilling gas ALL OVER myself, and was just reeking of gasoline the entire time. It was very uncomfortable.

You know John as well?! That's crazy. John used to live here in Seattle, of course; I met him in 1997 because he went to high school with a friend from college. Obviously Lindsey and I both went to Wellesley. I met Mike at Microsoft in 1996 (!!) and he and I have sort of stayed in touch ever since; Tom and I have about 1000 mutual friends, although we never met until a few months ago; and I met Peter through Tom. Tiny small world.

[thecnote.livejournal.com]

Here's a taste of how this could go on foreverandeverandever: I met John in Boston, through Lindsey, but I'm actually from Portland, which is where John, as you probably know, was raised on a humble dim sum cart in Chinatown. John designed record sleeves and a web site for my now long-defunct record label (http://www.contrastmusic.com/recordings/) back in the day.

Of the Mike/Peter/Tom triumvirate I'm pretty sure I've known Mike the longest, then Peter, and I never talked to Tom that much before Lindsey's party but he did see me have a stupid tearful schoolgirl breakdown over some dumb guy at Aro.Space many years ago, which he classily pretended not to remember when we were recently re-introduced. And I'm moving to Seattle early next year, and once upon a time I lived in New York (where, incidentally, I was born), and you're moving there, and John lives there now, and Lindsey and I live in England.

This could get even more tangled when you move to NYC. Maybe we should just pretend we've known each other for ten years, and that way it won't feel so odd when we keep making friends with each other's friends.

[alicetiara.livejournal.com]

Oh shit you're THAT Courtney?! John and Lindsey both used to talk about you alllll the time. I definitely know who you are now. I have a feeling I have come within a hair's breadth of meeting you a number of times.

John and I actually dated (!) for a summer and some change back in 97-98ish (aka, the stone age). I see him every time I go to NY, which isn't that often (well, until now). Until very recently he lived with my friend Jeanie that I went to Wellesley with (who is in Boston now). I grew up in Westchester, and I was born in England, so the plot thickens even thicker.

I agree, we should fabricate a long history together. Like, remember when we saw _____ at the _____ in 199X? That was awesome!

[thecnote.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, so imagine how gutted I was when I hadn't realized you'd be at that party, and then I asked Mike 'who was that girl' after you'd gone and he said Alice, and I went 'that Alice(?!)' and it became clear that our fate was to continue passing in the night forEVER. When you come back to Seattle for a visit we'll have to arrange to be in the same place at the same time.

Or we could just let the mystery live on. Speaking of which I totally forgive you for stealing my boyfriend in Junior year and I'm glad you forgave me for stealing yours in Senior year to get you back, and I'll never forget our joint 21st birthday party, which was so scandalous it doesn't even bear talking about.

Hello,

I found you through tsenft's journal, and wonder if you would mind adding me as a friend-reader. I'm interested in reading the pop cult commentary that's missing from tiara.org! Also, I'm curious to learn more about your work on plastic surgery on tv & performances of identity on xbox.

xo alana

[museumfreak.livejournal.com]

I have added you because we have common research (and evidently extramural) interests. Found you via tsenft. I have not been posting because I am overwhelmed by my first year at the Graduate School of Agony and Suffering (I have no idea how I'm going to survive 5-8 more years of this shit, especially if the ceiling falls on my head and I end up in the hospital again), but I do read.

[luna-k.livejournal.com]

I found you through some mutual friends (specificially jasminelily) and from Feministing (http://feministing.com/). I run liberalrage.

I'm adding you, but won't get upset if you don't add me back. :)

[lunarbull.livejournal.com]

My dearest Alice. I had a great time meeting you and being a retard in your presence. I'd love to read your musings if you feel so inclined as to add me back. My journal is pretty weaksauce these days as I barely use it anymore, but I do use it for commenting at the very least!

[alicetiara.livejournal.com]

Why of course! Added.

[suzamaphone.livejournal.com]

hey, lady. i felt it was about time i friended you, so i done did that.

[skamille.livejournal.com]

Hey Alice it's Camille. I just made a long rant post on feminism that Harry seems to think you'd be interested in talking about. And man it would be nice to have a woman to yell about that sort of thing with. So you know, if you wanna read it and yell at me in comments or over coffee sometime that'd be cool.

[labrujah.livejournal.com]

Hiya -- we have a lot of friends in common and I like your stuff! so I thought I'd add you.

[to-be-this-girl.livejournal.com]

i know you said you have way too many to read as it is, but could you add me if at all possible? i have this unexplainable desire to move to brooklyn and the fact that you live there, and a a reformed twenty four hour party person ;p makes me want to read more. xx

Hi!

[dneecie.livejournal.com]

Hi there! I am finally on here. I have no idea what I am doing, but add me as a friend! :)

stranger / stalker / all of the above?

[lemonbugg.livejournal.com]

alice,

i think we may have exchanged an email or two back in the 90s (ha)... just read your notify list update and i'd like to read your lj if you don't mind strangers knowing what you're up to. i think you're smart and amazing and bring the inspiration. shutting up now.

Re: stranger / stalker / all of the above?

[alicetiara.livejournal.com]

Heh. No stalking necessary. Added.

[sisterblister83.livejournal.com]

nice to meet you the other night at the cafe even witht he circumstances. good luck with your studies!

[outtajo.livejournal.com]

Love your "Women Make Policy Not Coffee" icon. Mind if I use it? I'll give credit, if necessary. Thanks!

[alicetiara.livejournal.com]

Go ahead and enjoy!

[crackeoto.livejournal.com]

Alice, you should add me because I have a better than reasonably decent ass, know loads and loads of math (who else was going to answer that question at 1am in the morning), and because my new assignment is to spend 30 minutes a day writing a super short story based on the events that appear in someone else's LJ posts and I thought you'd be a good unique even generator.

(xo)^3,
Cracky
