Too useful to pass up on

[rozk]

This meme struck me as useful...
How many times has someone on your friends list posted about something and you were really confused, but you didn't want to ask because you knew you SHOULD know? How many times have you felt guilty asking a close LJ friend a question that should be obvious?

Well, here's your chance.

If you've missed a few things, missed an entry and are confused, ask meanything. Even something EXTREMELY basic, like where I live! I'm not allowed to get even slightly irritated at any of the questions - we've all missed things before.

Nothing off limits, whether scholarly, personal or to do with fiction...

For someone I have never met, and only know through lj - I find your journal one of the least confusing to read, but then I suppose I also know people who know you.... maybe there are only a few thousand people in the world and the rest are holograms after all.

How'd you and debg meet?

[rozk.livejournal.com]

In a tiresomely literal physical sense, we actually haven't yet, though we plan to shortly. In a probabilistic sense, we met at a party in London many years ago - which is actually more likely than that we in fact did not given how many parties we were both going to. The specifics are that mutual friends on line said Roz, meet Deb/Deb, meet Roz, because they could not believe that we did not know each other. And very shortly thereafter, we did, on line and on the phone. And it was like we had always known each other, which, as I say, in most of the parallel worlds which help define these things, we did.

Your previous posts suggest you know a substantial amount about Asimov's politics - or at least more than I do. Would you read the robot story "Satisfaction Guaranteed" (Susan Calvin is in a cameo role) as a metaphor for exploitation of femme gay men by faghags?

It is probably twenty years at least since I read the story, and I need to go and read it. Generally, though, I don't tend to think of Asimov as a writer who does subtext very much, though I am prepared to be persuaded otherwise.

Did you really write an X-files/Twin Peaks crossover? I've been looking for it on your glamourousrags website but I can't find it.
Fans of Mulder and Cooper want to know. Or even Scully and Audrey Horne.

It wasn't me - the one you are thinking of was written by my friend Jennifer Stoy and is to be found somewhere at imjustsayin.net
