So I'm thinking about

keye, whose birthday is today, and what a surprise it was when she showed up in the LOTR hobbit fandom. We had known each other as part of KCRL, the Keanu site run by my friend Cat. She posted on my Keanu message board (yes, Virginia, this is back when people had message boards).

I really miss that board. It was hosted at a place called insidetheweb.com, and they provided customizable boards. It was the old fashioned threaded format, but you had full control over the layout and appearance. You could up load background pics, set up picture sections, etc. It was great. I had a Daily Pic thing going, where I would post a picture near the top of the board along with a quote from a piece of poetry, and so would post a whole poem over a number of days, with pics to match. (Ended up making a photobook of those pic/poem posts, a really nice one, that I gave away as gifts one year.)

So

keye was one of the people who wandered into that board. So interesting to see someone from a former fandom show up over here. She went back to lurking some time ago, and is one of those people I'm sorry to have lost again.

*waves* If you're still here, hon, hope you're doing well!
