sort of a meme
Aug. 19th, 2004 01:47 pmSo apparently this is sort of a meme. You write a statement about each of the people on your friends list, and they have to guess which one is them.
Well, my friends list doesn't look big, but 50 people is a lot to wade through. So I made it easier - it's alphabetical by lj-name. Some of it is serious, some less so. I hope you'll take it all with love, because that's how I meant it.
Can you tell I have literally NOTHING TO DO at work this afternoon?
Heh.
Life without you would be like missing the colour blue. You are everything.
I like knowing you. Sometimes I forget how intelligent you are, because I think you hide it in superficialities, sometimes, but then you shine, and I remember. You get a lot by being cute, but then again... you are REALLY damn cute. I like spending one on one time with you best.
This space left blank.
I just met you in person, you're a deep person, and shiningly gorgeous. I can't wait to know you better...
We hardly hung out at all, when we were in the same province, and now, I love how similar our life paths are going - simplicity, budgets, true love, and hope... I think, if we hung out again, it would be very different, next time around.
I miss hearing about your life. Your writing is phenomenal. But I have a feeling you're living it instead of writing about it, so I just imagine what you're doing, instead. I have very fond feelings for you.
I think we'd get along in person, once I got over being intimidated. You take the most amazing pictures, and write about some phenomenal dishes... somehow, I imagine your life being full of dinner parties and good friends.
I worry about you. You haven't written in a long time, and the last things you wrote were very dark. I don't even know what state you're living in any more, and I've recently emailed you. I don't think you'll read it though, and I know you won't read this. I hope you're ok, or better than ok.
I don't know you very well, but I do remember hanging out in the same circles, back in the day. Your writing style tends to put me on the defensive, but I don't think you do it on purpose. I'd like to hear more about what's going on in your head.
I miss you like crazy. Crazy! I can't help but think how fun it would be if we lived nearer, and how much fun it would be to see each other on a regular basis again. You are strong, a whirlwind who can do pretty much anything, but who shouldn't HAVE to. I think we'd have each other's back, if we lived near.
I don't know you, but you're cute. I think you are not getting enough sexual outlet, and lj is a release for that frustration. You've got a cute kid, too...
You're definitely your own person. If I ever needed a physical therapist, I'd search you out. :) Other than that, I still don't know much about you, but I'm willing to wait.
You're brilliant, and a hard-working mama. I love your writing, but you'll never read this. I'm pretty sure your lj is just for your thoughts.
It's too bad I met you online after I left Toronto. I think we're pretty similar in a lot of ways, and you motivate me to stay working out! I hope we can meet up one day when I go back that way to visit.
Your writing voice is so strident, and your speaking voice so quiet. I can't wait to get to spend more and more time with you, which I admit, is pretty difficult given how far away we live. I love that you're taking steps to do those things you want, and you're so damn CUTE when you're happy!
You're me. Most days, I think you rock.
Something's going on with you right now, and I hope it can sort out to your satisfaction. I have a feeling we're never going to actually meet in person (other than that once we did so long ago), even though we're now living in the same city. I hope I'm wrong.
Sometimes I feel like there's another you trying desperately to get out. But you seem like an awesome dad, and you make work easier. Well, not WORK-wise, but definitely talk-wise. :P I'm glad I know you.
You are going through some tremendous changes. I like reading your writing, and I hope someday to meet you. I think it'd be so much fun to just sit and jaw. I just know we'd talk and talk and talk. I'd be honoured to have you as a friend.
It's neat having you as an lj friend. I know you're not so sure about how blogging fits in with your life, but it allows me to feel somewhat close to you, since you're so far away. I'm so glad you came to the whatzit.
I adore you! You remind me of me, when I was young, only more with it, politically, than I ever was. I want long visits with lots of talking, some drinking, and just hanging out. I know we met in person once, long ago, but it's almost like it doesn't count. When you write, you really convey who you are, and I love it. Have you read BUST? It makes me think of you.
You never post. We friended each other from a women's weightlifting group.
Oh, you. I don't know who you are, now, but I had the hugest crush on you forever, back in the day. You haven't posted in a while.
You have a neat seeming life. I'm still trying to figure you out, so I don't comment much, but somehow I get the feeling you've got enough chutzpah to be cool with that even without me mentioning it.
You haven't been on your lj since I friended you. We just met up again in person, and you weren't nearly as frightening as I thought you'd be...
You're the recipe journal of my best new friend!!
You're neat, I'm so excited for you and your husband, and the great things that are happening for you. I think we'd get along in person, and you just don't post enough. I love your intelligence and your drive, even when I disagree with you. You seem like the sort of person I could disagree with and we could get along during the whole disagreement. If that made sense.
Whenever you leave a comment on my journal you surprise me. Just when we were getting to be online friends, I left albuquerque, but I envy those who got to meet you. I think you're uber-cool. And brilliant. I'd really like to pick your brain about a lot of things...
You're my man's best friend. I hope you two get to spend lots of time together, in the future. I'd like to spend time with you and figure you out, too. I love the emotion that runs rampant through you, but I always think you think I'm old and staid. I'm not, really! Well... not ALL the time. Somehow, you and your girl make me feel like I really am a different generation, though.
I'm so proud of you! I'm also envious, because you've got a house and a garden and lots of things I really want. I look up to you, and I'm so happy we're friends. One day, when I have money, I really AM going to come visit you.
You're so cute. My friends really liked you, when you were over for the whatzit. I wish I could have spent that time with you too. I hope you liked the stuff I picked out for you in the package we sent - there was WAY more I wanted to get for you, but, you know, money and all that.
You're new! The last couple of weeks have not been the best for you, I think, but you're still working out everything from a new move and all that. I really hope things work out to your satisfaction, because even though we don't know each other that well, I want the best for you. And I'm looking forward to reading about the best happening to you, over the coming time.
Precious man, that we might spend some time together again. Your gift for us is incredible. You've been mum of late, and I want to hear all about your new girl, and about your new life. I'm so proud of you for reaching out for your dream. I got to hear your voice a while ago, but I haven't called you back, and I'm sorry.
I love reading what you write, it makes me think. I like spending time with you, too, when I can let go of my insecurities. I didn't get to spend hardly any time with you at the whatzit, and that's unfortunate, but I hope we'll get to spend some time soon. We make really good net-friends, but I like being in your space from time to time, too. You'd be a great addition to my not-quite-commune that I dream of. When I think of it, it always has you in it. I want to be more important to you than I think I am, because you were a catalyst for much of what I'm happy with in myself today.
You impress me with your capacity to do things. It stuns me, how much you accomplish. I don't know you that well, but I respect you, and think we'd get along in person. At least, I'd like to try. Seeing as how we're living in different countries right now, I don't know that that's going to happen soon, but online is good too. You're one of the 2 people on my list who writes longer entries than I do. Heh.
Old friends, dear old friends. I hold part of myself back from you always, and I don't know why. We have hurt each other in the past, and loved each other, and helped each other in the past. I'd like very much to be in your space again, and spend time with you. I owe YOU a phone call, too. My dearest girl. Sometimes I think you take on too much, and don't rest enough. I have the sort of caring and love for you that comes in heaps and gobs, and is neverending.
I love your writing, and your sense of style. You've taken a hiatus, and may never come back full force. I'm pretty sure you're not reading any more, but I think good thoughts of you anyway. I have a bee thing, and I'll tell you what - if you ACTUALLY read this and figure out this is you, I'll contact you to figure out where to send the bee thing to.
I had a crush on you for a while, and we even tried a relationship. It didn't work out, but really, just because I was immature, even if it was you who was younger. You're brilliant, and funny, and thoughtful, and I haven't spoken to you in years, and that's just too bad. I'm certain we'd still have fun if we bumped into each other ever again.
You don't post so much right now, but that's ok, life is cycles. I think things are going really well for you right now, even though your man went away. I miss you. I'd like to reconnect with us the way we are now, because it's been a LONG time, and we met through someone that I think poorly of, and I don't want that bad feeling to rub off on you.
I don't know you that well yet, but I'm willing to wait and find out. I never did hear about you trying any of those recipes I sent you, though.
Hooray for new friends! I had so much fun when I spent time with you, and I can't wait until you get back from vacation so we can spend time together again. This time, you guys have to come over to OUR place. And no crowds, I promise.
You're a pirate ninja. Shh!
I like you! You are simultaneously a 'bad girl' and a great mom. I love that about you. I also like that you research things fully before making decisions. There's more to learn, and lots of time, so I'll wait. I hope to hear about what happened with your Dad, but I'll understand if you can't write it.
You never post. Do you read lj? I wonder. Although you did comment something when I asked for music suggestions for the whatzit...
You're very different than me in a lot of ways, but similar too, perhaps. I'm still waiting to find out more, but one of the best things is reading all about you in order to see. You're honest with yourself, and I really like that. I like to hear about you being happy more often, though - I hope things pick up.
I'm still waiting to find out more about you, but every time you post I read, even if I don't comment much. You don't comment on my lj either, so I guess it's even. Heh.
You know Andrew, but not me. I'm hoping we'll get to rectify that, because I like what I read, anyway. You put up with a lot of phone calls from me at late hours during the movie. I think I owe you. Heh.
You're clever, and funny, and cute, and nice, and kind, and entirely too hard on yourself. I love talking to you, and visiting with you during the week before and after the whatzit was wonderful. I miss you a lot. You're one of those folks I'd rather be near to, than far.
I love how serious you are about animals. I wish I could make you feel less that you 'need' a man, because you're so capable, it seems, and you're better than just a cliche. You've got really good hair, too.
I think you're a geek like me, but you hardly ever post. Movies and comics, more, more!
You're very different from me, and lead a much different life, but you very often seem happy, and I like that. You're coming up on an exciting day, and I'm so happy for you!
you're all done now.
My oldest blog friend! I'm so happy that you've come over to lj. Someday, I'm going to get over to meet you, I promise, I promise. Wouldn't THAT be crazy?? I worry that you worry too much about your weight. Girl, you are SKINNY. All it sounds like you need is a good activity level, to keep yourself healthy.
Hooray!!! I feel like I'm going to have a best girl friend in you, and that's just so lucky. I adore you, you're funny and smart and you live here, HERE!!! And you're SO GORGEOUS you take my breath away. You're a great writer, and a great cook, and I love having someone I'll be able to talk recipes with, and and and and and!!
EDIT: So, to make things harder, I'd accidentally left one out. Oops. Heh. Anyway, most everyone who's posted got theirs right anyway, I think, but if you're confused, check again, this might help.
Well, my friends list doesn't look big, but 50 people is a lot to wade through. So I made it easier - it's alphabetical by lj-name. Some of it is serious, some less so. I hope you'll take it all with love, because that's how I meant it.
