And just to illustrate the inherent variety in my chosen friendships:
"hi liz:

i'm running a voter registration campaign and i wondered if you'd help out by posting this link on attention deficit therapy:

Congress.org Voter Registration

it'll make you the coolest kid on the block. i know this is a lot to ask, what with your need to maintain integrity and "street" cred on your site. but i think it's really important and i don't have my own web page cause i'm not as cool as some people. -ben"

Ben is a do-gooder. Though I sometimes like to think of him as an exceptionally determined, diligent and conscientious slacker.
