Public Postcard Thank You

[minoanmiss]

So you know that mental spreadsheet one keeps with one's friends different names in it? I'm suffering a lacuna in one.

So a wonderful person named Lyda hs sent me several beautiful postcards and I just wanted to thank you so much for them! You don't have to reply here, but I just wanted to put this thank-you out there.

not really laughing at this dilemma (but I kinda am, because) - I totally can relate! when I get a card I always have to flick through a mental rolodex to recall who that person 'really' is as I often think of folks first by their pseud

This happens to me too. And sometimes people have more than one alias, like an SCA name but a different online handle!

We were once waiting for an appointment with some "mundane world professional" (maybe at the bank? don't recall), and encountered an SCA person who was just coming out. The banker (or whoever it was) was right there, so I didn't want to say say "Hey Hrothgar!" (or whatever), but I totally couldn't figure out the contextually-appropriate name. So we said hi, he said hi (maybe having the same problem), we moved on, and I was so relieved when the person we were there to meet said "I see you know John". Oh, John! Sure, we can go with that. :-)

friends' different names

I think this is the right place to say that I don't remember who the name "minoanmiss" goes with?
