I just got a LJ. This my first real post so I'm making some mistakes. I'm going to combine the two posts.

Happy first and second post! This was a wonderful compilation of CJ's awesomeness.

Thank you so much for the "journal-warming" post!

Normally I try to pick out favorite parts but THIS WHOLE LIST IS PERFECT. I adore CJ.

Wow, what a compliment! Thank you so much!

YES. C.J. is MADE of AWESOME. :-D

Also, I am going to leave a link to the Cartographers for Social Equality here because it's so hilarious and so perfectly her:

I love that scene too. Another reason to love CJ- she gets the funniest cheese appointments. Particularly when you consider the Crackpots' other rules. Shelia Rosenberg lecturing on how maps inform northern, white superiority complexes? Ron Swanson looking out for wolves?

Thank you for the comment!

You did a lovely job on one of my favorite women.

You captured every thing I love about CJ -- except one. :-/
You didn't include her father in her relationships. CJ struggled to balance her desire to be near him with the need to remain close to the President. We watched as she tryed to heal their strained relationship, only to have it crumble as his health failed.

Congratulations on your first post. I look forward to reading more from you.

Thank you so much! I agree that her relationship with her father was fascinating. To be honest though, I had to really limit myself only coming up with ten reasons why CJ is awesome. I couldn't include her real quirkiness (goldfish to vernal equinoxes), how she takes responsibility for all screw-ups both her own and others, her relentless professionalism even when others aren't being professional, etc. I could honestly could come up with another list of ten reasons why she's awesome if I put my arm into it.
