lobelia321Well. I gacked this meme from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cathexys and here it is: A list of some of my Friends, without names, and for you to guess who's who. You may guess yourself or another person. I am woefully sorry that I wasn't able to include anyone. The list is just too long (how did things get so out of hand? when I joined this place, I had 1 (one) friend!). But now I've got to rush and pick up the sons!!
1) You are the cutest person, and the loveliest, and your posts from climes up north always cheer me up. You literally wormed your way into my heart and onto my Friends list through sheer force of tigging.
2) When we met, we clicked, and had such a fun evening. I've empathised with you on your trials and tribulations, and know we've been through some downs. So it's especially nice to read posts when you're on the up.
3) You lured me onto LJ and what a life-changing event that was! Serious musings about writing and intrepid goings-beyond and commitment to quality, that's you.
4) I was in awe of you for a long time but through sheer persistent lurking have started to cherish and love your posts, not just for their philosophical fearlessness and unfailing defence of the deeply porny and porniest, but just because it's nice to hear from you, oh colleague-in-arms.
5) Quirky, mad old person from t'north, what would this online life be without you? How I miss your txts and gloriously irreverent fics.
6) I've known you forever and a day and still swoon over some of your fics. You were the first author I ever AIMed with, and you've often pulled me down to earth when my writing fancies threatened to take off for the skies. Such dyed-in-the-wool hot, hot slash.
7) I came, I saw, I swooned. And then I met and you were so lovely. Fragile, too, and beautiful.
8) It's your academic slashiness that pulled me in and is keeping me there. I am impressed, I am amused, I am delighted, and I'm so glad I'm getting to know you better. Also: you inspired the meme, so there's a give-away.
9) You lovely Lakritzy person! You bring a smile to my face.
10) Oh, those hammerings over Martin and Mary on the anvil of slashy Protestantism. And those terse pieces of prose you can write: they are inscribed on my brain.
11) You're on my list because of your fic. You write such versatile stories, they simply amaze me. But do you even know I exist?
12) The very first person I ever contacted online about fanfic, that's you. I used to be so in awe of you, my portal to smut. And inadvertently you taught me a lesson.
13) You're here, and you're here to stay, and it's meant a lot to me when I've felt down. I can ramble on about anything to you, and hey, a new fandom…?!
14) Sweet old witch from the East, I'm so happy you're looking forward to a new life! And perhaps more off-the-wall and beautifully characterised fic to follow, perhaps?
15) I friended you way back when, and then you changed your name twice, and now I hear rarely from you, but I love your political posts.
16) Hey, what can I say? You're here because you're an old, unflappable hand at this slash malarkey and unfazed in the face of nonsense.
17) Ah, you amazed me with your artistic skills and intrigue me with your naughty shenanigans. Naughty but somehow also the quintessence of innocence.
18) Academic angsting is us. Always great to talk to you and when will we finally meet?!
19) Lyrical niceness comes from you now and again in the form of lovely pic posts. And ghosty fics.
20) I stumbled over your fics in a fandom you've long since left ages ago, and I loved and adored them. And all of a sudden I rediscovered you in my new, mad fandom and what a breeze of fresh air blew through the cobwebs of fanon on that glorious day!
21) I've known you for about as long as I've known anybody in the online world. You're part of my life now, somehow, and I'm interested in everything, your unusual fic and your ups and sadly, all your downs as well.
22) Where are you? Woman of the difficult question and the contrary stubbornness! I hope you're having fun with your family, and will you ever finish that WIP??
23) I've known you forever, faithful beta of yore, and may soon meet you in the flesh, finally! You are a pillar of my list.
24) Are you okay? Mystery woman from Austria.
25) Well, what can I say about one of the loveliest, sexiest, real-life-hungriest and energy-sparkingest persons I've met via the online life? Insightful judger of prose, writer of supremely erotic beauty and astute debunker of fanonic myths.
26) Nice person from Kullervo's north. And one of the greatest usernames evah.
27) Ah, we bonded over defending our mutual friend nr.1 and had great fun spamming an awful supercilious twat.
28) Have not known you long but you are everywhere and always there and so committed to my new whatsit. Very trustworthy about many things, and hope to see you around for a long time to come for better acquaintance.
29) Academic co-slasher of the north, with your short pithy pieces and inimitably lyrical prose.
30) You wrote the most beautiful fic that converted me there and then to my new fandom along whose pathways I stumble with your fanon as my signpost.
31) It was so lovely to meet you on that wintry day in a southern land. You sweet and thoughtful LJ presence.
32) Another great LJ name and overlapping careery paths in the realms of art. So interesting to read your thoughts on that difficult land of yours.
33) I've known you for a very short time but already you have inspired me!
34) Cycling, popping, wrestling with banks: such varied and delightful posts!
I love you all! Including the ones left out here!
ETA: What's the etiquette of this meme-thing, btw? Do you reveal the names after a suitable interval? Or do you veil it all in mystery for evah aftah?

Or say we did.
Or something.
Or not.

Date: 2004-10-02 09:15 pm (UTC)Nr. 20 - No. Um, who is hesychasm? Woops, is she on my Friends list? Why, why... there must be a reason in the dim past. Hm, what is her real name or other name? What is her fandom? Is it bad etiquette to Friend people and then forget who they are? Will I be smited or smitten? *rushes over to hesychasm's LJ except doesn't because it will make computer crash*
(no subject)
Date: 2004-10-03 03:53 pm (UTC)Heheh, that was just a complete stab in the dark really. I must stop stabbing people in the dark like this. Her other name is Jintian if that rings any bell for you.
*smites you*
