I'll take that as an invitation... but just in case...

I've said before that I'm not a joiner. Unless your party has an open bar, or unless I'm avoiding being eaten by that escaped tiger by getting in the center of your group and pushing grandma out to the edge as a stringy, bony sacrifice, I pretty much keep to myself.

But I just joined something on FriendFeed called Librariology, admined by Marianne Lenox.

Now Marianne seems really cool, and I like reading about all the new stuff she finds and posts on The MLxperience. Although sometimes she talks about new techstuff that reminds me how far down I am on the tech-evolutionary ladder, like I'm one rung away from being a monkey. And not one of those cute monkeys, but a hairy, red-assed, sodomizing, poo-flinging monkey. Oh, so close, and I would never have to wear pants again. (About all the other monkeystuff, well, just ask the people who work with me; poo is flung daily.)

But what if other people don't want me to join their little groups? What if the.effing.librarian isn't welcome at those parties? In that case, as a service to those people, I created this handy button. If you post an invitation on your blog that on the surface seems to be for everyone, but is really only for everyone else, then save me the embarrassment of trying to join and add it to your post. Thanks.
