If I'm on your friends list, how do you know me? (I know that in some cases it's obvious.)
Stock answer to nearly everybody whose blog I'm answering in: We met in the SCA. Additional reply: I'm your Evil Twin(tm) :) For those who haven't heard the story before, now's probably as good a time to tell it. We're both married to heralds. :D Both couples attended a heraldic symposium in the East Kingdom. When Justin saw me across the room, he tapped his wife on the shoulder, pointed me out and said "Honey, isn't that *me* standing over there?" We not only looked very similar, we were dressed almost identically as well. I was amused by the number of people who thought they saw you from a distance, approached me, started talking and then suddenly realized that I wasn't Justin! BTW, congrats on the 2nd peerage!
Also, if you feel like it, please give a tiny little blurb about yourself. Tell me where you're from, what you're interested in, a little relevant information like that.
Stock answer: I'm a computer programmer/web designer who has been doing it for so long that I can remember writing computer programs on punch cards and papertape! (I'm NOT kidding!) Originally from Buffalo, New York, I now live in Fredonia, about 60 miles southwest of Buffalo, in a 130 year old Victorian farmhouse on six acres with my wife and a kindle of cats. I can't imagine living anywhere else right now. My interests are variable and subject to change with time. They are currently: juggling; puppetry; SCA; SF; writing fiction, non-fiction, and poetry; letterboxing. Feel free to ask additional questions.
