Heh, with regard to the last question about how many blogs, I've got three. My political diaries on Diaryland and Blogcritics, plus this LJ in which I'm somewhat less political, heh.

I think Quentin is someone you made a good choice to want to meet IRL. He shares your political view and you've known him longer. Me, I'm a bore with no social skills. I think you know that! ^-^
