I've been here since sometime in 2009, although I lurked until late 2010. I honestly don't remember where I followed the link from; most likely some blog that's anonymous in my memory. My impressions were later reinforced by links from tvtropes, among other places, but I'm about 90% confident that I discovered LW independently, such as that is.
MoR came later, as did OB.
In another thread, we have been discussing how people (especially female people) have come to find out about LessWrong. Instead of just guessing, I figured I would make a poll.
I remember in recent history there was a thread on the subject, but the answers were mainly "I got here from HPMoR" or "I've been here since OB". However, the question I want answered is:
How did you find HPMoR or OB in the first place?
Were you referred by a friend? Were you searching the internet for keywords like "rationality"? Were you linked from some other site you read?
Please answer! Even if you are a lurker; ESPECIALLY if you are a female reader! (There is a question where you can say you are a lurker, if you like!)

ETA- female *reader* and female *people*
