turpsComment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them. Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!"
It doesn't have to be anything complex - it can be feedback for a fanwork or discussing something you might have in common or even simply admiring their icon. The point is to reach out to someone you normally wouldn't and connect with them, even if it's only for the briefest moment.
I considered just posting this along with tomorrow's challenge as I didn't think there was much I could say. But I figured I'll keep my post daily streak for a little bit longer.
So yeah, I've been commenting on a lot of fanworks lately, both by people I know and those that I don't. But as I do that anyway I also dropped a comment to someone who stood out at the snowflake comm.
Related to this challenge, I don't mind lurkers in the slightest, but if you ever want to comment that would be fabulous. Same goes to friending. So you know, if you want to read the occasional ramblings of a bandom, cat, h/c, beach, dodgy tv, Mikey Way, post apoc YA, Lush product, Way bro, Pete loving woman from England juggling family life with an 18 year old who thinks he knows everything, four cats and an extended family that thrives on drama and has far too many hospital visits, you know what to do.
Talking of which. My MiL has been readmitted to hospital today. We took her over earlier and she was in a bad way. So, as much as it sucks that she's there again, it's also exactly where she needs to be.

Thank you!

Date: 2015-01-05 02:10 am (UTC)I've spent all day at work. SO now that I'm home I'm trying to decide if I have the verbal ability to articulate anything more than YOU ARE COOL at someone new.
Hmm I'll have to think on it
