love all around
attempting to simultaneously eat a lemon blueberry pancake, drink azure's coffee, and plan the Tuscany trip while doing this. (let's not talk about how i accidentally burned the second pancake. or how not-circular my pancakes are.) and thank you, jeanne, for the car-rental advice! we're definitely going for it so we can drive along the coast to Nice and Monte Carlo.
in the spirit of THE INCEPTION ANON LOVE MEME! except, you know, not anon. i warn you, i am in an incredibly (uncharacteristically) sappy mood. <3 i am not even ashamed at how much space this is taking up on your friends page.
cardigan_hero, though you are rarely present in LJ-dom, i am still so glad whenever you appear. thank you so much for the long-ago recs -- you don't know how happy they've made me, then and now.
chibi_lurrel, thank you for writing. and offering your words in the name of charity. your stories are always great to read -- you could never disappoint.
delires, your generosity defies belief. i can't even recall how i met you, but the fact that you waxed poetic about cocktails and books, and wrote the brilliance that is MIA, merely because i scribbled them on a wishlist? it floored me. (it still floors me.) and your humility and willingness to capslock in joy never fail to make me love you more.
distracterisey, i don't think i've spoken to you at length, but your art is always wonderful to see. and that you seem to live life to the fullest is something that i so admire.
epithalamium, from your name to your art to your humor to your all-around loveliness, you are one of the most friendly and charming individuals i've ever had the good fortune to meet. (smokers unite!) and your indescribable talent bowls me over, every time.
foxlives, you are a quiet force of nature. so much pause i take for your writings and the contemplative silences in between. i feel like holding hands with you in the negative spaces. and i'm still deeply flattered from the time when you gifted such a lovely ficlet over the holidays without hesitation. what an incomparable surprise.
jamesbaxter, your love for photography is without measure. i love that you love capturing people and their indomitable spirit. your work reminds me that there is always a bright side to humanity.
dear jeannedecarnin, you are beyond lovely. your words, your humor, your self. you make me laugh and cry and everything in between. i just want to find all the beautiful things in the world and send them to you, so you can remind yourself that life is a joy and you are a joy. your writing is brushstrokes in motion, and i wish you could see the entire watercolor films i've made in my head of your works. and the silly grins on my face from all the ridiculous comment-wars? too many to count. i'm adamant that all good things should happen to you.
oh kirstenlouise, i don't even know where to begin. you are a brilliant, brilliant person and writer. without you, my life would be that much dimmer. your wit is wicked sharp and your intelligence blows me away. and i wish the rest of this fandom could see how incredibly kind and generous you are. i hold my breath whenever i see your feedback, because it's always so thoughtful and honest -- i treasure each and every one. how did i get to be this lucky? i have no clue. i don't think i ever smiled so much before you came along.
kiyala, you were there from the very beginning, when i timidly asked the world for a beta and someone to bounce ideas off of. always encouraging and supportive, even when i had so many doubts. i am in awe of your writing process, how you manage to bring so many ideas into being, how you make the fandom that much more of a joyous place to be. i feel so small next to you.
knowmydark, i'm not even sure you're real. (are you?) your talent makes me forget how to breathe, at times. and i am on the edge of my seat for your Eames/Robert! if it doesn't convince people that those two are beautiful together, then the world isn't round.
krazykipper, though we are active in different fandoms, we will always have Nick and Greg. they are one of the few OTPs i still hold a torch for. you are the best CSI-labrat-partner anyone could have -- i don't think anyone else will quite understand like you do exactly how George Eads is Gay From Space.
labseraph, that i even manage to make it on your radar at all is a miracle. i know you don't ship and only walk the perimeters of fandom, but when you do pop in, you are like sunshine. especially in the heydays of crack, when i looked to you for a font of hilarious ideas. without you, i'm not sure i'd even be here at all. you have the kind of spirit that makes any person want to be a better person.
lemniciate, if you ever wanted to command your own legion, i am there. you see the permanent stars in my eyes? that is your doing. (as if my prescription needed changing yet again.) you are Happiness and Master of Silly-Memorable Conversations. i smoke all kinds of things, wave flags, and make obnoxious vuvuzela noises in your honor. and despite the existence of your Twitter, i love you.
gorgeous lmeden, your writing brings all the boys (and girls) to the yard. i am amazed at how you take what should never work and turn it into literary art. you don't know how long i sit there, fingers above the keyboard, trying to come up with a comment that doesn't seem so lame in comparison. i am so fond of how alive your journal is, how you bring love to everything you touch, even during the most devastating moments. you're an entire constellation of your own, darling. shine on.
mementis, you are a beacon of everything i admire. you don't tell, you show. you don't hate, you love. you never hesitate to share even the smallest of goodness that you find, and the depth of intimacy you hold for history and memory makes my heart stop. i have nothing but adoration and ultimate respect for you, em. you are such a gift to all of us.
queenofinfinite, i cannot describe what your presence means to me. you may not realize it, but you are my rock. you are the epitome of kindness and ebullience and everything uplifting. i wish i could be even a fraction of the same for you. and your writing, lovely, is such a thrill. i feel so privileged to read it and cannot wait until you finish this fascinating story.
ruins_of_sodom, you are a glorious compatriot in the small circle of Eames/Robert admirers. for the love of rarepairs, please keep drawing and being amazing through the ups and downs of life.
stungunbilly, i wish i could give you all the recognition your writing deserves. it's gripping and unafraid, and i can hardly wait for what you come up with next. have i mentioned how much i like your UN? because i do.
the_azure_blue, i think we'll always have that time when i reached out to you (not knowing if you would ever respond). i still remember being absolutely stunned by the beauty and perspective in Reflections of Men. back then, i thought, how can i make this wonderful person write more? and thus my first request-fic-for-charity was born. (obviously, this habit has snowballed at an alarming rate.) never stop, azure. your love and devotion to writing are ever an inspiration to me.
uchiha009, thank you for leaving the kind of comments every writer dreams of receiving. you are too kind.
vaginal_parfait, you are fantastic and i hope you keep writing for TSN. Inception has me in its clutches at present, but i just know there is a wealth of stunning TSN stories that i must explore at some point. and Weeds! we have to talk about it soon, because omg.
ze_zebra, you are the brightest soul among the amorphous masses. your ever-wonderful words and support will never stop being a source of joy and strength. whenever i'm down, you get me to my feet. it doesn't surprise me at all that you're studying to be a doctor. the world is so fortunate to have you. all my undying love, ze.
zeto, you are a bastion of this fandom and it would be a far sadder place without you. your kindness is unparalleled, and i don't think i can thank you enough for it.
and to all who pass by and read my scribblings with or without commenting, thank you so much. you are wonderful.
