Why don't you send her a personal tweet and ask her? (You can do that right?)

No, but I like her music. But I cannot think of a single tweet on that account of interest to anyone.   :bowler:

She's probably stalking you. Have her arrested.

That's a plan, not much of one, but no worse than my usual.
Though nowadays I prefer my Plan B, ignore all women, until further notice.  :P

Plan B sounds like gay sex in San Francisco while wearing bike shorts.

I wouldn't have thought so, he's a posh former public schoolboy from the South, iirc she's from Tyr's neck of the woods.

I had the entire neuro-science department from Stanford following me for got rid of that.  I think garbon tipped them off.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

How does "happy new year"-ing go around the globe?

I talk a lot to assorted 3rd worlders, is it appropriate to wish it to a random dude in India for example?

Depends.  Is he going to rape you?

If they're on the Gregorian calendar, they've just started a new year. Whether there's any chance of it being a happy one for them is a different matter.
Maybe just wishing them a year would be best.
