I love that you have exceeding odd pairing ideas, because it takes me back to the days of my squickfest, when I created hpsquick100 which feels SO LONG AGO but really oughtn't. It amuses me awfully.
Linn, I could list the reasons I love you 'til the cows come home. The amazing art and the ridiculously sweet personality and the intelligence which I really want to know more about - I want to discuss things with you because I like your perspectives and the way you're willing to see other people's.
Mostly, though, I love you because you make me feel like I matter.
I love you because you get so utterly caught up in things. You get hugely enthusiastic and talk about them in an interesting way and there's intelligence behind the squee. You not only get bouncy about things, you can also say why. This is Cool.
Also, you do so much for people. Always I am reading f-list and there're people saying OMG THANKS TO CALEB FOR ICON/LAYOUT/HELP WITH PLAY/WHATEVER. You're generous with your time and with your talents, and that's fabulous.
Also also, you've got an eye for framing and things. You make things beautiful. Which is something I envy.
You are always trying to do better. This is important. Every now and again you make a mistake, and you're always willing to apologise and try harder and sort it out, and that takes guts. You impress me.
You haven't been updating nearly enough due to school-y things, but. You've always seemed Very Important to me (OMG she's friended by AFRAI!) so first off I love you for friending me back. And then I actually started reading your entries, and now I love you because you write in a way that makes me laugh and makes me think, sure, but also in a way that makes me go OMG IT IS OKAY TO BE A GEEK! ROCK ON! This is always important.
I love you because you are emphatic. You are very you. Not looking to please anyone, seems like. I don't understand much of what you talk about but I read everything anyway, because you interest me.
Also I am endlessly impressed by the sewing experiments, because the last thing I made was probably a cushion in year 9 which fell apart. Also, you seem to have a dreadfully Cool life. The capital 'c' means that it's not necessarily intimidatingly cool from the inside, but from the outside looking in you appear to be one of the Cool Kids. *awes*
Also, OMG, you write cool pairings and fandoms that canna be found elsewhere, for which you deserve unending love.
I love you because you're not scary, and I thought you were. Because we spent an entire day together and it was stupid amounts of fun, and then you came to stay and it was even more fun, and I miss you. Because you're opinionated, and your righteous indignation is funny. Because you forced convinced me to get pierced, which I'd been dithering over for more than a year. Because you're far nicer to me than I deserve.
I love you because you sent me a seriously cool letter, and the reply kept me happily occupied at the job centre. Yes, you will be getting whining about how bored I was. Huzzah! Also I am endlessly amused by your fascination with the tube map; have you read Neverwhere?
I love you because Raven is an enormous huge amazing character, and even though you think he's bigger than your head he's not. He fits right in. You're far more talented than you give yourself credit for, plus you're really nice and funny and good to talk to.
I love you because you've had a hard time of things and you keep chasing your dream, and every time I speak to you you're so enthusiastic about it and that's hugely inspiring. Plus I love you because you will always do your best to say something lovely or make people feel better, or whatever, going above and beyond the call of duty.
You I love because you let me know it's going to be okay. Because we're hugely similar, and you've got such a good life for yourself in spite of what I know from personal experience are serious confidence issues. And I know it's hard for you sometimes but I want you to know that I will always be here for you because you are genuinely one of the sweetest people I've ever met, online or off, and you're so much fun to talk to, as well. Thank you so much for the amazing friend you are.
You totally don't have to write anything for me, but I wanted to take the opportunity to randomly say that you make my life, at least, nicer, and part of it is stuff like this. You'll say nice things about people and write drabbles for people and randomly commentspam people with nice things. (did I ever tell you that two of your comments have made me cry in the good way? which is two more than most other people.) And just, yeah. You rock.
I love yoooou. You are adorable and funny and squeeful - I love your squeefulness most, I think, because hearing you get excited about something is adorable and hysterical at the same time. You think about things deeply, and every single post of yours I read with interest, even when I'm not bright enough to have any idea what you're talking about.
Also I love you for that lamp icon. You know the one I mean. XD
I love that you've kept up the random lyrics as titles thing for, like, ever, and I love that they're always so random. I have no idea why it's so hard to guess lyrics out of context, but I think we have different cultural databases as far as music goes... apart from BNL. GO BNL!!!
I love you because you are Strong. Sometimes maybe you don't think you are, sometimes you have off days, but you are. You inspire me to be less insipid. Also, you write so damned well and I wish you'd do it more, also you're intelligent leik wo, which is always fascinating, also you're hot in those glasses. XD
I love you because you resist all boxes. And because I'd never want to put you in a box, anyway, because if I leave you out of it I can admire you from all angles and glee as other people do, too. So I can lean over and nudge them and say 'hey, isn't Ji awesome?' and they can nod slowly and we can have a bonding moment over the greatness that is you.
Also, you have a fascinating narrative voice which I don't always understand but always aesthetically appreciate, and I'm always enthralled by your version of beauty. I want to know more about what you think is beautiful. This leads directly into loving your icons, also.
I love the letters that you write me, because they make me feel special, and I love writing to you because it's less terrifying than writing to anyone else.
You write good, this much I know, and you roleplay well enough to entirely intimidate me. You have princess bride mood icons, which is enough to secure my eternal devotion, and I very much regret the fact that Brian didn't get to talk to Cuthbert more, just 'cos he wanted to call him Big Bird.
(also he wanted to call Roland Snufflufagus. It's probably for the best that this never happened.)
We should engineer some sort of thread somewhere. :)
I love you because you are a minx. You're hilarious and fun, and I have no idea how you manage to spread yourself so thin as you do and know everyone so well. I was reading your answers to people on the honesty meme thing, and I was blown away by how thoughtful and incisive your responses were.
Heh. I feel like I should go into Pablo Neruda, now.
I feel a lot closer to you than I should, maybe, considering the low number of conversations we've had and considering how a lot of the time you seem to hold yourself at a careful distance from onliney things. It's possible it's self delusion, but since with most people my self delusion is entirely the opposite I shall cling to it tightly. I love your sense of humour and how often it meshes with mine, and I love the brain that's ticking over underneath that. I trust you, and I cannot describe how important that is to me.
I love, also, the duck with the freakishly large head. He makes me happy.
I love you because Simon, who is love. I love you because it's so much fun to make you emoticon madly in boxchat, and for the OOM thing which is still in progress and is so impressive. I don't know you half so well as I should like, but it'll happen.
