  2. I visited your journal when you were a guest editor's pick and I thought I put you on alerts to come back, but apparently I didn't; came this way again by a comment you left in Dan's journal; I liked reading several of your entries and reading the 100 things about you; you seem like a fascinating person

    this time I'll make sure I put you an alerts because I do plan to come back :)
