LJ Love - Yes, yet again.
could it be? a meme that's not about me? really? wow. i remember a few months ago, this really cool boy from chrissstopher's FL did this, but it wasn't a meme, he just does cool, original shit like that. and his was much more personal, and much more touching. i think because he knows a lot of his FL irl? why am i still talking about someone i've never met/journaled/talked to? ahem.
this one i jacked from the always cutting edge zadriana.
15 Anonymous Statements About People On My Friends List (i was tempted to go alphabetical? but then i remembered to not be dumb. so i'm leaving gender hints instead. cuz i'm a maverick like that. AND, i'm doing 17, instead of 15, because this is about the ESSENTIAL folks on my FL, i.e.-- them fools with whom i cannot do without. yeah, if you're reading, this prolly means you.):
1. (dick) i love the freedom you allow yourself. i want to say more, but somehow, it just seems extraneous. extraneous is probably not the word to use, but damned if i'm going to pull out a thesaurus.
2. (chick) strength and compassion like yours should never go uncelebrated. which is why i try to tell you how great i think you are every chance i get.
3. (dick) if i could coherently explain to you exactly how it is that i know that you are incredible, i would. there are some people who have it, and many more people who don't. you have it. and like one of my favorite people in the world-- yes, i'm comparing you to Michael Jackson-- you'll probably never be satisfied. but like Michael, you are so much stronger than people give you credit, and misunderstood though you may be, there are those of us who see you, and who get it.
4. (dick) you've been an almost constant crush of mine from day one. unattainable men are my specialty, y'know. it's crude to say so, but you are just... infinitely fuckable. i should add something else about your personality here... but eh, why should i. you're not supposed to know who i'm talking about, anyway.
5. (chick) my fondest hope is that you learn to let go of the past. failures, lovers... let them bounce. the absolute most awesome things are out there, just WAITING for you. good things. not bad. great things. it's just a matter of time. i hate to sound like my Mama, but "you'll learn. you'll get tired of feeling like shit one day." i hope this is true for you. it seems like you cause yourself a lot of unnecessary pain. stop worrying about what others think of you!
6. (chick) i wish i could break through your shell sometimes. we are very different, but so alike in so many ways. you're one of those people that i never know how to talk to, because you seem to exist almost on a different plane from me. it makes me wistful. in a good way, though. the post you made today was the first time i thought i could talk to you, and we could connect, but i chickened out. so, oh well. you are very strong, even though you question yourself at every turn. what a good heart you have!
7. (chick) it scares me how much i care about you. i don't say that very often, about too many people, because it hurts too damned much to let people in like that. probably, if i could tell anyone the truth-- the absolute truth-- about me, it would be you. but i won't. but it's cool to know there's someone i could tell if i wanted to.
8. (chick) of the two people on my list who intimidate me, you're the one who actually inspires me to grow. your posts are points of light in my days, even when that is the opposite of your intentions. there's something about your calm. i'm almost envious of it. i wish i could hug you. i don't know why.
9. (chick) crazy cool. your kind of distinction makes me happy to even be out here trying.
10. (dick) yet another crush, although you wouldn't give me the time.of.day. if i PAID you, you wouldn't. you don't even read my journal! like-- at all. like EVER. that's how sad it is. whatev. dudes like you, with your simple words and huge heart, are never patient enough to talk to me. s'ok, though. what you share on LJ is enough for me. and lucky for me, i am not nearly as superficial as i pretend to be. i recognize quality when i see it.
11. (chick) you're so sweet! and kind of... off, too. in a good way? you worry me sometimes, though, because i think you're a throwback, and my goodness, in these days of cynicsm and darkness, i'm afraid you're going to get absolutely squashed. but. you know, God always takes care of sweethearts like you.
12. (chick) eh, everyone's always telling you how great you are, so my two cents won't make one whit of difference to you. charming heifer. but you're just so damned CUTE. if i could put you in my pocket and carry you around, i would.
13. (dick) your journal throws me the most, because it is a lot of things, but a genuine reflection of your personality... mmmm, i'm not so sure. my instinct is to like you. a lot. but... sometimes... i dunno, man... sometimes... you have a way of saying things that make me want to smack you.
14. (chick) i only hope that one day you will truly recognize your beauty for what it is. i see so much of my Mother in you; you just want to be loved, and appreciated for who you are. it's not asking that much. i hope you continue to seek out people who want to love you, and be there for you, and leave behind the ones who use you shamelessly. you're the only one who can get rid of them. dead weight, dead weight, dead weight!
15. (chick) you're essential to me, even though you write sporadically. if it's about going out there and taking what you want, then my friend, you do it with such style, i can only sit back in admiration. so many people judge you. like Michael-- yes another Michael reference-- they only see what it's convenient to see. i see a survivor. a fighter. and the softer you, inside that fierce facade.
16. (dick) another man who wouldn't give me the time of day if i paid him, but whose words touch me as if i'd written them myself. such talent. i'm in awe of it, sometimes, because it seems so... rare. i've certainly never come across the likes of it in my life, and if i never do again, at least i had you here. kind of. ok, not really, but goddammit, it's fun to think i did.
17. (chick) we don't really relate to each other, but we click. and really, isn't that all that matters? the clicking? someone told me that once, and i believe him.
Now, Tag Five People (five people who will actually do it? or the 5 people i actually want to do it? but what if they don't? will i feel rejected? will i have to drink to ease the pain?! these are the burning questions):
eh, fuck it. it's too much pressure. who am i to impose my will onto another. but for the record. i really really really want you to do it. yes. you. of course you. duh.
