:) We've spent *years* chatting, haven't we? You have unshaking loyalty to the things you love - characters, sports teams, kinks. Dark eyes, bald heads and TWINs. You're the reason I make sure I have smooches in my stories, and let you know when things are safe.
Oh, my goodness. Not only do you write interesting and thought-provoking essays on all aspects of fandom, but you began both the Symposium (which led to me getting a column I posted there published - and you gracioiusly gave me permission to do that)and the FCA, which allows others to also let their thoughts be known.
And even your daily postings are fun to read. I'm so glad you're on my flist.
I've known you since you were 18. You're bright and talented, and I'm glad you found the right profession for your abilities, one in which you can use them to make a difference in the world.
I've glad you've been part of my fannish life, and I loved meeting you at Senticon all those years ago.
It's been wonderful learning about you as you begin married life, and as you balance things between being who you are and who your world expects you to be - and never losing yourself in the process.
:) You? You're fun. You're the one I can talk to about knitting (even if I don't do it) and cooking and make-up and then go on to children's literature and your current play and then onto comics. You're fun.
Oh, my goodness. Where do I begin? I started as your sister's friend, but I think I know you better now. You're someone I can always talk to - we have a lot in common, and what we don't have in common is still cool. At least, I hope so. Sometimes, the best part of going to Boston cons is having dinner with you and Michael afterwards (unless illness or, you know, blizzards get in the way.)
Not know who you are? Hah, my fellow accountant's daughter. I look forward to whatever you have to say, because I know it will be interesting and relevent. I absolutely know who you are.
I've known you since fuh-q (the mailing list that many dare speak its name, but not me.) You're quirky and interesting, and you add a measure of peace to the day. I like what you have to say, and I'm glad I get to read it.
You're another person whom I love to see commenting in my journal because I know you'll have something to say.
I just like talking with you, here and on AIM, and in real life. You put up with the crowd of fen surrounding you and your husband, even if you're only one of us by marriage. You let me snark with you. You're just cool.
I admire so much - it looks like you'll complete your goal for Nano, and I've never even tried, you're dealing with a chronic illness that can take over your life, but you're not letting it, and you just seem so upbeat.
I've known you since I've been in fandom. You were my first beta reader for my first story, and you were the one who told me I could write. You've been through so much and it hasn't beaten you - not job problems, not boyfriend problems, not housing problems. It shows how strong you are.
You're a little harder than the others because you're so new. You never fail to have anything interesting to say when you comment, though, and I'm glad I have the chance to know you.
You bring a different and welcome perspective to our shared religion. I never fail to read your posts, even if I disagree with some of the conclusions - and that's something I can treasure.
I really want to meet you in public - I'm sorry I didn't speak to you the one time we were at the same convention.
If you still feel like doing this meme... Also, COngratulations on the adoption news, and i'm sorry to hear about your ankle, I hope it heels quickly- taking care of sprained ankles is essential- you don't want to be like me (who did not at all and ended up on crutches for ages, and now has to spend 4x as long being careful with it- like years instead of months.) They usually heal up pretty well if you take care of them though.
