Meme post one
Feb. 15th, 2008 12:19 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Leochi picked me among her 10 lj people who make my day list. The rules are simple, if picked, make your own list of lj people who make your day (previously done lists count!) Except there is no way I can name just 10 people. You're all too amazing. So I am shamelessly cheating and have 10 groups and even then I am leaving out many people who should be here.
anthimaeria and
jadzialove: I genuinely find it hard to remember that I don't see you two regularly in real life. In addition to being compassionate, funny and thoughtful, you write with wit and style, and you both have great hair.
dumbys_baby : you have a group of your own because I actually do see you regularly. You're just lovely in every way, and I hope everything goes smoothly at Easter. Write more fic, dammit.
sansa1970,
bryoneybrynn,
calanthe_fics and
nqdonne: you all started off as just writers I liked (and the first three of you have also been huge influences), and then became friends I look forward to chatting to. I hope that all the things in your lives that are causing you stress and difficulty resolve themselves smoothly and swiftly.
house_illrepute,
shiv5468 and
pir8fancier: I nod so much at your posts that sometimes I feel a tiny bit stalkerish. I'd like to point out that if I were a stalker, I would be the type that comes bearing quality alcohol or handspun alpaca and knocks off at 5.30pm.
lackofmendacity,
thady and
romaine24: you three are kind, gentle and gracious, which are old-fashioned qualities but ones the world is in desperate need of.
leochi,
djinniyah, and
lillithium: as people, you all make me smile. But as artists you change the way that I look at HP and make me think about my writing in ways that I never would without you.
pushdragon and
snottygrrl , we WILL hang out in person in the next few months, dammit. I am not enduring the idiocy of this year without meeting people I know I already like.
bubblegumlocks,
emerald_dragon8, and
slian_martreb: it's been a while since I was a young person, but the three of you remind me of what it was like. You all have so much fortitude and ability. Even when things seem crap, I know that your futures will be shiny, because you all are.
grey_hunter,
winstonmom and
daisy_chan: you three take time out from your own work to regularly encourage the work of others. You are examples that I am trying to follow more closely.
frayach,
furiosity and
fourth_rose , you are the three whose stories and updates make me late for work. This month has been rubbish since you are all otherwise occupied (mostly -- off to finish Interregnum next!). If I ran the universe you would have large fic stipends and comfy chairs. It helps that you all seem to be the sort of people I would cheerfully hang out with.

Happy Valentine's Day (or I should say the day after V-Day! ♥
And I am so jealous that you will be meeting

(I keep laughing when Americans say V-Day or VD, I think of Winston Churchill and the clap respectively.)

Date: 2008-02-14 05:20 pm (UTC)I'll take both the stipend and the comfy chair, thank you very much! *rubs sore back* Oh, and the "otherwise occupied" equals writing frantically for Worldcup, Big Bang and Beltane (not to mention about five different WIPs and/or sequels). So the drought is merely temporary, I promise ;)
*smooches*

I'm sure it would be great to hang out with you - damn all that water that's in the way...

Date: 2008-02-14 08:27 pm (UTC)And on an unrelated note to this post but relevant to a previous one - I also have shorter and chestnutier hair!!! The same day you posted that, I did a dye job. I swear, the BB thing, strange psychic connection...
Anyway, I heap my admiration upon you. *heaps*
no subject
Date: 2008-02-15 08:53 am (UTC)Clearly, there is a BB look. We should exchange notes. Where do you stand on Chanel lipstick?
*Oof* catches admiration, and throws some of it straight back at you!

no subject
Date: 2008-02-15 08:57 am (UTC)You were meant to be on this list, but, as you will note if you read the other meme post, I have the memory of a rather stupid fish. I admire everything about you from your writing to your sarcasm, and your fiendish catnapping plans.

The retirement village awaits, and we will spend many hours together,
ogling theenjoying theuhmview and writing fic, when we're not on the water.Happy Valentine's day to you--it still is here for another hour and forty-three minutes.
no subject
Date: 2008-02-21 05:08 pm (UTC)YES! That's how I feel, even if we've been poorly timed for chatting this week. Hope that all is well! I'm buying a roving modem tomorrow wo that I can chat with you on my lunch breaks next week when I go back to work.
And yes, the retirement home awaits!

Date: 2008-03-12 11:13 am (UTC)Thank you so much for singling me out of all the people who show their love for your work. Commenting is something that none of us do as often as we probably should, but knowing how much it matters to excellent authors like yourself, make it worth the few minutes it really takes. I just wish I would articulate them better. ^^;
*hugs*
no subject
Date: 2008-03-12 12:01 pm (UTC)And you are perfect in your articulation! Not to mention the hugs.
