You seem extremely interesting, we have some similar literary tastes (Song of Ice and Fire for the WIN), I just got done with a self-imposed break from writing due to a falling out and currently trying to reharness MY ideas and MY voice and... well, you seem cool.

Throwing friendship into all of that just seems to max out the coolness factor.

Mind if I add?

Thanks! Yes, I'd love to add you as a friend and to get to know you. Anyone who is a fan of Song of Ice and Fire is an instant buddy in my book. ;)

I'm equal parts horrified and fascinated by the HBO trailers I've been watching... I LOVE the books, not sure if I will cry over the television show or love it too... or not watch it at all because it just can't compare.

Aaaack, I know what you mean. I am kinda in that nail-biting phase where I'm thinking, "Don't eff it up... Don't eff it up..." combined with "Martin, get OFF of the bloody set and FINISH THE NEXT BOOK."

Wow, how many other people can I say like Austen. I LOVE her stuff. So, if ya wanna be friends, just add me on.

jamzsquared December 12 2010, 01:32:26 UTC

Added!

Yeah, I am a bit embarrassed at the level of my Austen-love. I actually went and took a class on her work when I studied abroad in England a few years ago, and have been systematically watching every film adaptation I can get my hands on.

Sometimes I think I need a support group. ;)

bluegreenlilac December 12 2010, 01:40:56 UTC

Me too:-) Thanks for adding me on. Wow, that's interesting to have studied her work. Listen, I'm no grammar expert but I love to write, so... (No telling how many mistakes I've made in this one sentence alone. LOL) Ttyl, and have a cool weekend.

Always interested in getting to know other writers and like-minded individuals. Your profile/introduction was especially intriguing and I too love Austen's work. So, pleased to meet you and add me as you will.

Added! Looking forward to chatting in the future.

Hello!

Yes, I'd love to be writing buddies! I quite agree that it's a very good thing to get to know folks with different interests and likes, though I will add that most of my reading collection (as well as my music collection) consists of stuff that my friends have thrown at me. In other words, I really love reading things (and listening to stuff, etc.) that comes from outside my immediate frame of reference.

Adding you now!

sunianna December 28 2010, 03:08:08 UTC

I like you. I'll add you if you add me.

jamzsquared December 28 2010, 03:35:38 UTC

Awesomesauce. You sound pretty cool as well (I love Margaret Cho!). Adding you now.

sunianna December 28 2010, 03:46:08 UTC

I'm pretty sure anyone worthwhile does. :) (Unless they've never heard her, then it's not their fault.) Adding you back. :)
