Random statistics

As of today, I have met, however briefly, 30% of my friends list. Okay, I knew 9 of the 26 people pre-internet life, but still, that feels like quite a lot. And so far, not one of you has turned out to be a serial killer. Score!

Also in the department of random statistics about me: 63% of my friends list are paid users. Considering only 1.6% of LJ users as a whole are paid, that's quite substantial. I'm not sure exactly what that says about us, but I'm sure it says something.

I'm pretty sure, too, that many, many of you are librarians or work in libraries. This is not deliberate on my part -- I don't think I've ever added someone just because they are a librarian -- but I think more a case of librarians automatically gravitating together when they're anywhere near each other.

I've noticed this weird affinity on my friends list too, but since I am one of your 37% without a paid account, I can't do my own poll. I also wonder how many of the people on my friends list are involved in libraries in some way AND are addicted to BPAL. Hee.

I know! And me with no money! I have a rule for myself - no new orders until the old one is received, and I have Spooky coming.

Plus, I've had a pretty high success rate at swapping/paying for decants of LE. I use so little of a scent that 5 mL is too much!

Still... Chaste Moon and The Living Flame certainly look lovely....
