Just curious (gacked from gittygiggles and janetmiles)

[mamadeb]

Why am I on your friends list?

Answer only if you want to.

Comments

[dj-clawson.livejournal.com]

Through association with Alter and Naomi. Also, you like slash.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Makes sense to me! Thank you!

[sekhmets-song.livejournal.com]

You are a grown up. There are precious few of those here at LJ.
And, you have a good sense of humor (also kid of rare).
And you like food and talking about food. I'm a sucker for the food porn.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Me, a grown up. Wow.

Thank you!

[hakainokami.livejournal.com]

Because you're just that cool ^_^ Because I know you from several fandoms and IRC, and I always enjoy reading your LJ.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

:) Thank you, Reg.

There are times I do miss my lapful of critters.

[kressel.livejournal.com]

Because I know you personally and because as frum Jewish women who love to write, we have many things in common.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Pretty much why I friended you. And I have to say, I've been enjoying getting to know you through your LJ in a way we didn't when we both lived in Brooklyn.

[ataniell93.livejournal.com]

Initially because we knew a lot of the same people; but now, because we seem to be interested in a lot of the same things and your opinion is always interesting and well-thought-out.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Again, pretty much why I friended you back - I find your LJ fascinating to read. Now I look forward to reading it.

[thermidor.livejournal.com]

Baecause you are kind and wise and interesting!

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

*blush*

Thank you.

[tod-hollykim.livejournal.com]

Because we know each other from the fuh-q list and you are Mama Deb!

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Awww.

Thank you!

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

Because you're frum and you write fanfiction, and I'm still amazed that you make that work.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Cognitive dissonance is my life.

:)

Thank you!

[kid-lit-fan.livejournal.com]

You made an interesting reply to something I said in raggedrose's comments, and I was intrigued by your userinfo; Orthodox Jewish ("hair covering and everything") and slashfic? Tell me more! And, the first post I read was foodporn, so I was hooked.

A

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Anyone who can appreiciate food porn and kid lit is cool by me, and you have fun posts.

Thank you!

[dine.livejournal.com]

inititally because I fondly remembered your XF fic - then because I enjoyed learning more about you the person! in the process, you've provided me with an interesting/engaging look at your life, which is quite different from mine on the surface.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

:) Thank you so much!

[vass]

Because I like you as a person, and I also like how you write.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

I can say the same for you! Thank you!

[commodorified.livejournal.com]

'Cause you are extremely, nay, nigh-excessively, cool.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

*blink* *Cool*? Me? Huh.

Thank you!

[dphearson.livejournal.com]

Because you are from Brooklyn, are fannish, yet seem rather sensible. Plus, you have a developed spiritual life and practice, which is very cool!

In other, because you are you!

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

My goodness. Thus far, I've been called "grown-up","cool" and "sensible." These are so much not my self-image.

Thank you!

[janetmiles.livejournal.com]

Because I liked you on Usenet, and I like you here. And I learn a lot from you.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Why?

[kimberlyfdr.livejournal.com]

TS, DS, Buffy, Star Trek, and so many reasons;)

Re: Why?

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

:)

Thank you, then, for sticking through the HP years.

[roadnotes.livejournal.com]

Because you are one of the best things I remember about local fandom; you're compassionate, articulate devout; you write well and thoughtfully; and you have a deliciously perverse worldview in your fanfic.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

I'm really not sure how to respond to this. You've always had so much presence and talent, and to read those kind words...


Thank you. (And I like my worldview being called deliciously perverse.)

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Because you're you. :-)

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

What she said. :-)

[lomedet.livejournal.com]

Because you have the whole Jewish & fannish thing going on.

Because I was reading your stories before I knew that LJ even existed.

Because you consistently have interesting insights into the more obscure pockets of Potterverse.

Because this is the best way I know to keep up with your writing, both meta and fic.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

:) Sometimes I forget I used to write before LJ.

I'm glad you enjoy this. And the Jewish stuff, too.

Thank you.

[rachel-wilder.livejournal.com]

I was initially drawn in by the food and pakua posts. I'm intrigued by religious things and I enjoy reading about that aspect of your life. Your life is so wildly different than mine, but in many ways the same that it's always interesting to read what you're posting.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. Pa-kua? Really?

Wow.

Thank you!

[mosellegreen.livejournal.com]

1. We met at Connexions, so we're both fen.
2. You're Jewish. I'm going to be.
3. Your LJ is amusing.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

When did we meet at ConneXions?
I did get the impression you're converting. :)

And I do try. Thank you!

[spykeraven.livejournal.com]

I initially friended you because I'd always been curious about the person behind your nickname. Over the past few months, I've developed an affectionate curiosity about your life.

Basically, I find you interesting.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

:) Thank you!

[castiron.livejournal.com]

Because I knew you from the Bujold list, and you write interesting and intelligent stuff.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[raggedrose.livejournal.com]

Because you write interesting, original slash, and you give me a window on the daily life of a faith I'd otherwise see a lot less of. Most of all, because you're good people.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm enjoying the world of pretty ships you'e showing me.

[gittygiggles.livejournal.com]

bc i likes you!

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Good, because I like you, too.

[magid.livejournal.com]

Thoughtful posts about religion, food, and sf (not necessarily in that order :-). Plus it's nice to keep up with someone I see but once a year in person.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Do you go to Readercon? Because we're thinking seriously of going there this year, if only to recover from Contata.
