Personal Stuff

[ericcoleman]

So I have started another LJ under the name kriel. it will be completely friends only.

As I have stated before this LJ is about my music, my shows, and stuff that amuses me. The new LJ will be personal stuff.

One of the things that worried me when I started this is that, at the time, I had an online stalker. So I didn't talk about anything else much except music. A friend gave me a nice present a year or so ago. The stalker's real name, address and phone number. With that contact info the guy stopped right away. Thanks JC. The nicest thing anyone did for me last year.

The new journal will have things about the wife, the kids, sometimes TMI, sometimes WAY TMI, probably a little politics occasionally, and anything else that I feel that I can't put in here as Eric Coleman, Curmudgeon. I feel that I have to keep the performer and the real person fairly seperate.

With that warning, if you are interested in reading this stuff just reply here and I will friend you in the next couple of days.

I will say that unless you know me pretty well I am not likely to put you on this. Members of the Social Cloud and it's fringes will be pretty much automatic, but if you are someone I have met at a con or a show, unless we have talked a lot, I'll probably say no. Still, no harm in trying. And please don't feel insulted if I don't put you on the list, I might later. I make friends slowly and there are several people who I know from wherever who I would not hesitate to put on this and who might be surprised that I would.

Though we certainly don't know each other well, I'd like to be on the list. Reading people's journals has been a way of getting to know far-away folks better than I'd normally get chance to do.

[ericcoleman]

Get me online sometime and we can talk about this. But I have to say no at this time. We've only met once.

[ericcoleman]

I gotta stick to the rules that I have set for myself ... don't take it personally ...

I'm not the JC you're referencing, am I? :)

And, I'd like to be on the friends' list, but s'alright if you don't put me. We have not really talked *a lot*. :) Not at all, I think. I'm just on a fringe of the social cloud.

[ericcoleman]

Ummm ... no ... it is a producer/singer/songwriter who has helped me in immeasurable ways (advice, gear, kind words, abuse when needed).

I'd like to be on the list, but I'd understand if you didn't add me. :)

We barely know each other, but I think you should add me because I'm a friend of Luke Ski's, and because I'm a super hot chick who gives you hugs at conventions.

[twoofdtm.livejournal.com]

Well in that case... I'm a super hot chick that goes to cons gives hugs and back rubs, ABSOLUTELY adores Bang my Baldspot, And know's Bill Putt, Luke Ski, Carrie, Hrmmm, Worm Quartet, and Tony Goldmark... *checks over list* HA!! I beat the Carrie!! I miss you Eric! I'm gonna be going to Conclave in Mi, and that's prolly it for the rest of this year but I got alot of them under my belt for next year. When will I see you next?

[ericcoleman]

I can't work out who you are though ...

As for stuff the rest of the year ...

Convergence in Minneapolis
Showmecon in St Louis
Maybe Icon in Cedar rapids
Maybe Archon in St Louis
OVFF in Columbus
Windycon in Chicago
Confusion in Detroit
Capricon in Chicago

and that's it for the moment ... like that isnt enough

Jessica Zerwas. I was at 2BCon and at Marscon I'm one of Luke's wife's friends. I was also the Fan girl with the I LOVE NERDS t-shirt.

*hugs*

[ericcoleman]

That is who I thought you might be ... but in your LJ you referred to a jessica ... so I thought that you wsre referring to you ... so you had to be someone else ... so ... I get so confused

It's early

[ericcoleman]

I have to admit that I never read that shirt ... I looked at it a lot ... but I never read it ...

and ... well ... I dont really know you and the new LJ is very personal. We'll see in the future.

[ericcoleman]

Which is just the very sort that I said I wouldn't give access.

I really don't know you, but I have a feeling that I will as time goes along. But I have to stick to the rules I have set for myself, for my piece of mind if nothing else.

[twoofdtm.livejournal.com]

That's totally fine.... I will do that and learn more about you soon! Love you and hope to see you soon!!

me,me,me,me,me.... please

[ericcoleman]

Most of you I know well, and I was a little afraid of this. But I do have to stick to my rules here.

If I don't really know you I am going to be a little paranoid and say no. I expect with a lot of you that this will change as time goes along. But I have had a lot of problems with folks on the net and folks at shows over the years (as has my wife, she has a weird lady fixated on her at the moment, but that is a different story) and have even had threats in the past.

The new LJ is about close personal stuff that has little to do with the performer. And I feel that I have to keep a lot of it private. My apologies to the folks that I am not letting in. It is nothing personal to you, but rather a reaction to stuff that has happened the last few years. So, come talk to me at a con, come to a show, we'll see what happens.

I knew when I started this that it could be bad, but I knew that I would forget someone if I just sent out emails.
