Small world.

A confession

... amoung the reasons Adrienne is not poly... I had to chart this out, on paper, in order to conceptualize it.

It's probably easier in Latin.

It's too bad my Latin is so rusty.

... At which point it becomes irrelevant except for BBQ invites. I think. Depends on the ex amicability factor.

I AM poly and I had to chart it out.

It's easier when you're working with real names.

*thinks furiously* Ah, got it! :) I hadn't put the connections together before. :)

I want to strap my snow shoes on, walk to Canada, and hand everyone involved in that, er, mix, a bottle of my homebrew Stout.

FOR PERVERSITY!

(I wish I could map that, but I got confused. So, beer for all!)

Wait, I think I need to have it charted out. Not that my head isn't spinning enough as it is.

So, one was on a train that left Denver at 7:15am, travelling at an average speed of 90mph, while the other..

I'm part of the chart and I have no freaking idea what she is talking about.

Sometimes poly isn't so much of a chart as it is a Venn diagram.

[ihvpave.livejournal.com]

I've had that conversation!

[exiledv2.livejournal.com]

1) Huh, I didn't know you were poly. You leanr something new everyday.
2) I'm very glad I'm not that poly. :D

I'm just waiting until I figure out where polychain a(net) connects to polychain b(local)

Not so much a family tree as a fungus....

[geekers.livejournal.com]

... I can probably help you figure out the connections you are looking for. Conversation for another convergence? ;p

[unagothae.livejournal.com]

But you are poly...or did I entirely misunderstand something at Convergence?

[unagothae.livejournal.com]

It isn't limited to Canada. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, it's literally global. Which is actually pretty damn cool.

Small world indeed.

[kest]

looking at your friends list, I think it's highly unlikely you know any of the polychain (b) I have in mind. (Although I think if there's a crossover, it's probably in Boston somewhere.)

[exiledv2.livejournal.com]

No, no, I am poly.
But I do not need a Venn diagram. :D

[unagothae.livejournal.com]

GOT IT :D
