11:00p - Bachelor's degrees of separation
In my second year at university I moved to Jericho, a cramped and trendy corner of Oxford, to share a house with other wets and weeds. One of them observed that we were doing everything wrong. At university you should make 10 friends each of whom introduces you to 10 friends. Instead, we knew 3 people each of whom knew 3 other people - us.
Now the key to tracing your six degrees of separation is identifying someone of the first type. Link up with them and their contacts come free, one step away. Thanks to an LJ Friends-graphing tool, I've confirmed my suspicions that the people for whose acquaintance I should pay are j4 and verlaine - and above all one of their intermediaries jiggery_pokery. All hail the Oxford mafia diaspora!
So I'd like to revive a popular LiveJournal virus and introduce two Friends. The effervescent j4 and the urbane verlaine, or at least their entourages, are scheduled to meet at Stay Beautiful on Saturday night. I expect a result like the meeting of Drs Teller and Anti-Teller.
