A meme of memes

Feb 22, 2006 20:05

Okay, I have a confession to make. I have not filled out a single Johari/Nohari form for anyone. Nobody. Partly this is because my online time is limited, and I tend to take a "open my flist, open anything interesting in tabs to read offline, take my computer home to read" approach. Partly, though, it's because I feel like if I know you well ( Read more... )

I'll go with any for $500, Alex. *g*

I think your writing is quite good, lyrical and evocative, and I'm sad we don't share any ships in common.

Somewhat unsolicited, but . . . eponis February 23 2006, 04:16:24 UTC

::chuckles:: That's funny, because I would have said just about the same thing about you. I admire your writing immensely, but the ships or themes tend not to be the ones I share.

Of course, there's also a great big dollop of how guilty you make me feel. :-) I'm in awe of how much you give to the fandoms you're in, between your fic, meta, comments and encouragement, and leadership in events (e.g. the Remix Redux). Every time I read one of your meta posts without taking the time to respond, I'm reminded of what a blessing you are to fandom (and, er, of how much more I ought to be doing to be a positive participant). Thank you for all of it.

Much love. <333

Thank you so much! And don't feel guilty. I only do things for selfish reasons - to get more fic written for me to read, and to entertain myself. *g*

*hugs*

Erm. I'll do some (being 3 & 4), since i'm between lectures and have time to waste.
Your writing: I think my introduction to your writing was from stiletto though to be perfectly honest, i haven't read a lot of it. Possibly due to having previously had the same limited time online experiences, and also because i have the attention span of a butterfly and just can't stay at a computer for that long. I actually don't read anywhere near as much written work online as i do in book form. But you wouldn't be on my flist if i didn't enjoy it, and i was struck completely dumb by the essay you wrote for acceptance into college ( ... )

Thank you.

And, yeah, they're all just like you. Even when we know what we're doing, we fear that we never will.

Your intelligence and insight shine through both in person and in your writing (equally in the mundane and fiction), and I enjoy our conversations, whether they're on good food or social activism. I also admire your dedication to the causes you believe in.

I hope to see a little more of you before I leave Houston in August, although I suspect that we'll continue to run into each other, here and there. (:

eponis February 28 2006, 03:32:01 UTC

I hope we'll see more of each other, too, as I've always loved your writing, links, and insights. To be perfectly honest, you're the person I know, more than anyone, who reminds me of myself. You're certainly different in many ways, of course, but virtually everything you say and do makes me think "yes, I might have said or done that, if circumstances had been different." I think that part of why I've never known you as well as I'd like is that I'm not sure how compatible I'd be with myself. :-)

no. 4: a pwp containing a blowjob using a cherry flavored condom shouldn't be difficult to write, eh? but hello! blank word doc.

eponis February 28 2006, 03:35:02 UTC

::giggles:: I have no words. Except that the first image I have in my mind is of a massive condom-balloon that one character's trying to tie closed, while the other holds up a shiny pin and threatens to pop their cherry.

O FUCK

saridout February 23 2006, 05:04:32 UTC

well, what do you think of me?

i think you're lovely :) you interact with me in the strangest way. i won't hear a peep out of you for the longest time, and then you'll suddenly show up in a comment and offer some sage bit of advice or somesuch, and it'll end up being incredibly important to me.

i think you're writing's breath-taking. *checks to see if there's anythink new* ooo, goody :D

i posted something on my journal earlier that i'd really like to read, if it existed. take a look. my heater is crummy. it's never warm in my flat when i want it to be warm. and then it gets unbearably warm just when i want to get under the covers and go to sleep. baaaah. my three cats like to sleep all over me and it's suffocating :P

saridout February 23 2006, 05:29:31 UTC

though i dont quite understand the end of "Shapes in a Shadowbox"

eponis February 28 2006, 03:56:53 UTC

Hahaha, apparently I am too obscure for my own good. What I intended to mean was that Snape died at the end of the War, and Lupin never got together with him, but Lupin has this thing where he thinks that he and Snape had a kinship that they never lived out, so he tells himself stories of what might have happened instead and how they could have gotten together. And the majority of the story is actually just a story that Lupin's telling himself. Does that make sense?

What do I think of you? I'm incredibly in awe of your drawing. Your illustrations have a wonderful unique personality; it feels like you're not just trying to replicate the characters, but you're drawing them "saridout-style," and they make me smile. I wish I talked to you more than I do, but that's true of pretty much everyone on LJ, and especially neat people like you; I'm just really bad about commenting and keeping up with people.

And yes, I saw that in your journal. I'm currently in the throes of a major Snape/Harry thing that's not quite so gritty, but it's a very enticing suggestion, once I have time for something new!

I am jealous of all my friends who have cats. All I have is a hamster who bites me and a mouse who tries to hide in my hair. Woe.
