2020 LJ Friending Frenzy
I did this a couple years ago and was super suprised when I got almost 3 THOUSAND replies. @_@. I have some friends who want to come back to LJ but need more friends, so I figured i'd do it again and see if we can at least get them some more LJ friends, if not others, too!

We like Pandemic because we win or lose together (which is helpful with a 6 year old who hates to lose!), and so far we've managed to talk through strategy together rather than having one person direct the whole thing... but I can *definitely* see how that could easily happen. My problem is my husband likes to explore every single possible tactic we could take, and I'm like "uh, let's just build a research center and move on?"
