Hey hey, heads up

[highlyeccentric]

This flist has grown and gathered a whole bunch of new people in the last year. Let it be stated, in case any of you happen to be interested, that I have a SRSFACE Medievalist Blog, entitled The Naked Philologist. I only update very sporadically at the moment, but I'm going to try to get back into the habit, because blogging = thinking, and thinking is necessary for returning to academia.

Currently, we're hearing more about my good old "WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WITH THIS USELESS FIELD" angst. ;)

See, now that's integral to how I came to subscribe to you - I'd had TNP in my (rather extensive) bookmarks collection for quite a while (a couple of years maybe? I seem to recall discovering it via some mention by Figleaf, though I could be misremembering), but kept having it, like so many things, fall off my radar and be reading-neglected (see "rather extensive" above - so many good blogs/sites, so little time). I don't recall how I ran across you on DW, but somewhere in there was a little bell in my memory: "Wait, isn't that...," [check appropriate sub-sub-file in bookmark pulldown menu] "...yes, yes it is her." So I perused what you were posting here, decided that, yes, it's often the sort of thing I want to find on my Reading Page, and subbed.

I think I said little or nothing about that before (though I could be mistaken) - so now you know.

Well hi there! :D

*looks closely* well huh, looks like we have mutual subscriptions! Here, have access as well, I don't make that many unlocked posts on DW/LJ anymore.

It's funny how many people turn out to read the NP. Someone recognised me at a conference last year, and apparently at a CMS meeting the other day, my various friends and teachers were talking about me, and one of the new PHD students suddenly went "hang on, is she the one with the blog?"
The internet is a weird place, is all I can say.

Yeah, I think you subbed back right away. So far I haven't seen a need to lock any posts (I write to be read, and to have conversations, and for those convos to not just be in an echo chamber of buddies; if I just want to verbalize private stuff in my head, I figure dead trees tell no tales), so access is largely symbolic - symbol activated!
