A feel-good meme

Leave a comment, if you'd like, to this entry, and I will tell you something I like/love about you.

Please repost the meme in your own journal if you have happy thoughts to spare. A lot of people could probably use it.

Moi? :)

I love the way you are not apologetic about who you are and who you want to be. Time and again I see people, including you, post to LJ about something they are doing with their life, only to have their audience jump to conclusions about their motivations, the root causes, and the eventual goals. You stand up to them and tell them when they're full of it.

I also admire your wit. I know you've felt a desire to cut back on the cattiness, but your dry wit is one of the things I've always loved about you.

Hi Hon!!

Perhaps it isn't real, isn't realistic, but when I remember our interactions, I feel like they were coloured with an open warmth that always made me feel comfortable and at home. You seem to be remarkably at peace with yourself, which makes it possible for you to be present with those around you. I admire that, that ability to be present, open, and accepting.

Thank you...

allo any sweeties out there?

I love your strength. You're quiet, but present and there for those around you. I feel like I can count on you, I can depend on you. I feel like you would be a shoulder to cry on if I needed it, and that means a lot.

I find it somewhat interested that we've only kown each other a short while but we seem to connect so well.

I'm always there for my good friends

hug

Please.

I love the fact that you are able to be remarkably whimsical and individualistic, yet nonetheless a stabilizing and supportive presence in the lives of those around you. In many, those qualities would be a contradiction, but you make them work together. I love your sanity, and level-headedness, and generosity.

[earthdragon.livejournal.com]

Sure, go for it (though I am unlikely to propogate the meme any time soon due to vanishing for T-day).

I love the way you hold onto friendships and keep in touch, and I'm delighted by the way you hold your own counsel, and then surprise everyone by revealing a facet of your personality we hadn't guessed at. I love the mystery that introduces! You're like a story that is revealed at its own pace.

I actually think I'm bad at maintaining contact, but lj and the net help a lot. My older sister spent part of last weekend visiting HS friends, I've lost touch with all of mine.

[tocityguy.livejournal.com]

Yes please! :)

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

I love how much you care about the things you touch in your life. You care about doing a good job at your work and your hobbies, and you stretch as far as you can to help those you love. The world needs more people like you, people who care.

I also love the fact that you confuse me. Nothing about you is what I expect it to be. As I get to know you, I'm sure the puzzle pieces will fall into place, but in the meantime, my perceptions of you are an interesting window into my own preconceptions.

I could use a happy injection!

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

I love the way your energy feels to me. Your presence energizes me, but at the same time, it makes me feel safe. It's actually a really exceptional combination -- Being around you I can get hyper and silly and bouncy and still feel safe and well-received. You just feel good.

[yiab.livejournal.com]

okay, i'll bite.

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

I love that you are there for your friends when they are in a serious crisis. I love that even when things are tough for you, you keep on trucking along and make it through. I love that you are unabashedly geeky and enjoy your massive collection of games with pride!

Me three!

[freefloat.livejournal.com]

Oo! I like this!

Re: Me three!

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

I love your honesty and forthrightness. These are qualities which we should be able to take for granted in the poly community but are often sadly lacking. Not so with you

[angel-thane.livejournal.com]

You really don't know me terribly well... still, I'd love to know what you think.

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

I admire the fact that you are committed to your causes. A lot of people claim to care about things, but never do anything about it. You actually go out there and try to change the world, and that means a lot. It shows you care!

[angel-thane.livejournal.com]

Wow.

Thanks.

[kineticphoenix.livejournal.com]

I'd love to play!

I love the talent you have for silliness and bizarrity. Eris loves you. But I also love your generosity; I've seen a lot of people in the Bay Area suffer (including you), and you are often among those reaching out to the people who need help be it emotional or physical or ________.

I also love your persistence in following your dreams, in growing and changing. Too many people are stagnant. Being hedonists doesn't mean that we can't have goals and dreams, damn it! You are returning to dance on your own terms, returning to relationships on your own term, and pursuing the career you want instead of sitting pat with the cards life dealt you. You're taking a hand in your life. You're a powerful woman, and it shows.

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

I love the way you manage to be a quiet presence, a self-contained pillar, throughout everything. To the community, and even in your own life. If I had been through what you recently went through with your mother, for instance, I would have been projecting angst and anxiety everywhere. You communicated your worry, your concern, and yet you weren't loud about it. You are just loud enough to be heard. You are quiet, yet you don't disappear into the woodwork.

i have the flu full-blown...i could use the pick-me-up, love.

I actually love the way you express yourself in such a friendly affectionate fashion; it conveys a warmth which I think is accurate. You make me feel welcome and wanted and liked and cared for, which is a lot for someone I barely know. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I'm unreasoningly prone to insecurity. Some people just rub me the right way to banish all possible insecurities, and you're one of those people, and I love that.

Should I or shouldn't I?

Interestingly, the electronic PR#1 for Ad Astra appeared in my inbox as I was reading through my LJ friends' posts. I read through the PR and pondered, "Should I bother going to AA in 2006?" It's back at the Crowne Plaza, not one of my favourite hotels for various boring reasons (location, especially). But I remember that the parties were Very Good last year, so perhaps I'd better put up with the inconvenience and show up for the evenings, at least.
