Where have I seen you before?

Herenna - southpaw for now

List what I've been to and what I did from 20 to 10 years ago, or risk being written off as just another creepy hanger on and possibly a journalist?

I know who I was, what I did, and where our paths might or might not have crossed. I also know (from working in with the Guide Association) that people touch a lot more lives than they realise at the time.

No sorry, I don't remember sending you to get change from another stall, teaching you that song, checking your lashings, testing you for that badge, or showing you how to make that, but if I did, you probably do. smiley - erm

In the same way, I don't expect organisers and other high ups in various organisations to remember one person who used to be at events a lot but then (because life happens) dropped more or less completely off that scene's radar. I never aimed to become one of the high ups, nor part of the inner circle, and that was out of choice.

It doesn't make me a wannabe, a hanger on, or an infiltrator. Nor do I owe you a list of what I did, including when and where.

Time passes and people come and go.smiley - zensmiley - tea

That post will probably have come across as angry, defensive, or at least passive aggressive.

The thing is, there are times when you can't win; reel off your credentials and it's either bragging (or trying too hard), or leave several bits out of your answer and sound dodgy. I have no interest in digging up fragments of gossip and worse merely to prove myself to you.

I am who and what I am, not my problem if that makes part of one of your vague memories itch.
