because i had met you in person and this was a good way of getting to know you better. when i first started reading your journal, we were friendly aquaintences. now i consider you to be a friend of mine. and i think that knowing you through LJ has helped that.

in general i read LJ so that i can be my secret hermit and still indulge in my sociability. :) it's is a perfect expression of contradiction for myself. :)
