Maybe I should wait until I'm really awake to finish writing this.
Anyway:
Happy Birthday, John!
I got on Facebook earlier to wish him a happy birthday on his Facebook Wall, and stumbled around a little bit because they're always changing things around on Facebook. I clicked on "Friends" because it was in the location where I could click on it and get a list of my friends, but instead I got a list of people that are friends of my friends, and discovered my own, private "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon."
People on the list were absolutely amazing! Here's a partial list:
- Gore De Vol--Horror personality
- William Shattner-- Needs no introduction
- Nana Visitor--From Star Trek Next Gen
- Ben Bova--Science fiction author
- Michael Okuda--Science fiction TV props and design

- Jackie Lichtenberg*--Science fiction author and introduced me to John
- Barbara Hambly--Science fiction author

The further I scrolled down, the more people Facebook kept adding. I have at least two friends in common with all of these people, and the ones with an asterisk are people I've either met or are friends.
I'm writing about all this because it amazes me!
It's really fun to be friends with John! I say that because most of them are friends with John. I also got to meet Sam Rami and a lot of other fun people because of him.
