Friends-list love meme

[dangermousie]

OK, here are the responses to friend-complimenting meme. I've covered everyone who replied, and not a few who didn't ;) If you want to be told of your awesomeness but haven't replied to the meme post yet, I'll gladly do it, in 'Friends are awesome mark 2.' Just leave your name here :)



alexandral: You sent me The Outsiders raws. That alone would mean I totally totally love you. But also your posts are throughful, your icons gorgeous, and your enthusiams are many and (happily) mainly aligned with mine. And you think Jerry Yan is hot. What's not to love? :)

aliterati: You are my littlest coz. I still remember trying to lock you in the bathroom as you were not cool enough to tag along :P And now look at you, all graduated. And someone to post-meta slash about. Heh.

alizzy: You responded to the meme request with an Aeryn icon. If that doesn't prove how awesome you are, I don't know what would. And I loved your posts on Harry Potter, and on Firefly, and the fact that you love CS Lewis, who is totally underrated and wonderful.

ameyadevi: I love your pics, and your cute icons, and the fact that you went giddy for Magicians of Love. Your posts are always unusual and fun!

autumn_yaar: I love your posts about Egyptian movies and music (and about Egypt). It's not something I'll ever see, but it looks awesome from the snippets. I love your enthusiasm and you total AWESOMENESS is uploading all those dramas to jdramas. I bet half the Taiwanese dramas there are uploaded by you!

calixa: Eeeee! All the drama fun. And you have opened to me the new and strange world of people dying by flying carpets, and convinced me to check out Hu Ge. Plus, you are just plain fun to read!

calledinvain: Maki spam. Kurosagi fic. Snarky comments and funny posts. I love your LJ: it always cheers me up.

calliopes_pen: Deliciously geeky or geekishly delicious? You decide. All I know is that your replies are always razor sharp, and that Firefly love is something there can't be too much of!

carviangli: You are willing to discuss The Outsiders with me! :) Seriously, your enthusiasm for dramas and Bollywood leaves me contagiously happy. There is always something to talk about, with you around!

catdecember: You were willing to talk F4 and Meteor Garden with me when no one else was :) Your energy and enthusiasm (and similar tastes in boys :D) make my flist a happier place than it would have been otherwise.

crumpeteer: your posts are a big reason I got into anime, for which I can't thank you enough, oh anime guru! I loved discussing Anakin with you, and your posts full of squeeful links make my day. I always check yur lj when I am away on a trip and thus can't do flists, because if I don't, I know I'll miss something good!

egelantier: This is going to sound solipcistic, but your Farscape posts remind me of me when I first discovered the show. Reading your excitement and meta always brings me back to those days and adds a little something extra to my day.

elspethsheir: Before I get to the praises, a question. I always wondered who 'Elspeth' was :) I love all the fascinating archeology articles you post. That way I can mention them in conversation and come across as knowledgeable and well-read :) Your lj always puts me in a good mood!

elvensapphire: You are so sweet and your love of musicals, and Star Wars, and everything lovely is totally wonderful!

ewanspotter: For the longest time, I thought your screenname was 'Ewans Potter' like some long lost Harry Potter relative. Yeah, I am thick. I love having on on my flist for when my rabid attacks of Dark Angel love occur, when we discussed Star Wars, and for general dozes of funny snark.

fivil: Reading your posts seriously often makes my day. Not just because you are the one other person I know who loves Fanaa as much as I do. I love the Sakshay posts, and the drama posts, and the general gleeing tone of your LJ. And the cracktastic kpop music posts amuse me. I am definitely looking forward to meeting you in NYC!

hope_fuleigh: Your Mars and Hanadan and ProDai meta can't be beat. I have tons of your posts saved in my 'memories' and go read them intermittently, just to glee retroactively. Smart AND writing about what I love? YAYNESS.

janlake83: Not only do you always respond (something an egomaniac like me craves :D) but your posts and replies are so fun and full of drama love and enthusiasm! I know when I see your name pop up, I'll be just a little happier once I finished reading your post than I was before.

katranna: Hey, why do you need to know I think you are awesome? Return my calls and I'll tell you in person :D Seriously, if it wasn't for you, I'd even not have an LJ, or a layout for said lj. You are fun to play with, and have been since we were kids.

keepaofthecheez: When I first 'met' you, I loved your Roswell stuff. Then I fell in love with your VM fic. And now, even though I haven't seen the second season of SPN yet, so don't really know the topics you discuss very well, I find your enthusiasm and love for SPN/fandom contagious. Plus, your header is HOT.

kitkat_cat: Eeeeee! There is someone else on my flist who loves Farscape and Firefly and wuxia, and (even better) is always ready to talk to me about them. You are so fun to read, and sweet to interact with, and if I have cdrama questions, you always bail me out! Thanks!

kitsune714: shall I start with the incredible Kurosagi or Tattakoi fic? Or the totally funny, delicious real life posts? (I usually skip most of those on the flist, but never yours). Then there is the little matter of you being my drama-twin tastes-wise. Or the fact that your subject lines are best things ever.

koalathebear: I really love that you have so many different enthusiasms. As someone who is also into seventeen billion different things, it's cool to see. Even if I don't know what is your particular fancy this month, I always have fun reading about it, because of the enthusiastic and clever way you write about it. And your posts about life in China=WIN.

ladysaotome: Anyone who likes Smilign Pasta, Meru Puri, Vampire Knight, and Hanadan, cannot be anything but cool. Especially when Hanadan mvs are involved. I always check to see if you've posted!

lazypadawan: because even though I ararely reply (sorry), it's a godsend to have a SW news person on my flist to keep me updated with all the newest and shiniest projects!

lenabean: First, there is the screenname. For some reason it makes me think of coffee, which is always good. And then there is the Lee Wan love and the drama squee and the total fun of metaing together! So fun!

lesbiassparrow: First of all, anyone who has a Catullus reference in their user name, wins (at what, no idea, but wins at something). Anyone who also enjoys the ginormous drama angst AND mocks it at the same time, wins even more.

meganbmoore: I don't even remember why we friended each other, but I am totally glad we did! You got me into wuxia, and got me to check out all sorts of manga I normally wouldn't have but ended up loving. You make awesome icons, and we can meta together ad nauseam or share Akito hate. I confess to going back and rereading your old posts because they are so fun!

miss_dian: Your icons. Your icons. Your icons. I love them! And I love your photos of places you've been and events you went to. And the KimuTaku love and the enthusiasm and the kindness and the Rain thing :)

muffinkath7: You like Buffy, and Roswell which shows excellent taste, and your header is the prettiest, sweetest thing ever. Sometimes I just go directly to your page just to stare at it. You also seem to be a genuinely sweet person, which is great!

plazmah: It's fun to have a fellow Bolly freak on my flist. Someone to squee with. Plus, you almost got me to check out 'Bones', and that's a feat!

prismatic_star: I love the playlists and songs you post. They enable me to find new and cool music. And I love the pretty icons, and the jeboy fun. Plus, your default icon wins at life.

queen_haq: I'd mention the shared shoe love, or the awesome Jason Dohring pics, but instead I just want to say that your Kajol icon for your fic just leaves me happily dead.

raisintorte: not only do you have the cutest icon and the neatest screenname, your posts are always so friendly and sunny.

scottishlass: I loved your Bollywood fic, I love your drama posts, and fic and icons. Plus, you wrote a Ling/Qi-Luo sexing fic, so how could I not love you? Oh, and there is the little matter of your staring dorama_chat comm, and loving Farscape, and just being all around awesome and strong person.

smartylibrarian: because it's entirely too much fun to go watch Bollywood movies with you, or squeal over Domyouji. You rock. But you know this.

spinnerweb: Can the world have too much SRK squee? I think not! I love your posts about SRK and Bollywood, and the cool picspams and lists. And I found things about puppets which are totally neat, and I think your RL posts are sweet and lovely.

tatterpunk: I loved reading your posts about life in China, and your spot on meta about dramas almost as much as I am looking forward to hanging out with you again! Come on, who else will delight in a teenage-girl-dying-from-aids-but-falling-for-famous-composer drama with me?

umeedmerchant: Not only are you super-nice, you are the one person on my flist who likes Rushie so you are about to become my new guru! And also, there can never be too much Futurama love.

vierran45: You sent me F4 stuff. And made me a Tristan & Isolde icon. But leaving aside pure self-interest, I love that you love Bollywood and scifi and dramas (and appreciate the yumminess of Takki) and always have something neat to say about them. Plus, it's great to have someone else on my flist who watches this many dramas at once.

weissman: I find you RL posts interesting, and I really love having such an enthusiastic Helo/Sharon fan on my flist to interact with. The enthusiasm is contagious!

I am always ready to share things like flying carpet deaths and hot guys with you. And when either Megan or I watch angsty things the first thing we think is 'Oh, dangermousie will love this'.

Oh, and I don't know if I told you this, but: I remember I was googling for ISWAK pictures when I found your lj. And then I found all my drama friends & comms through you. So I am very grateful!!

thanks!

[egelantier.livejournal.com]

I've first discovered you while searching for gooong meta - and then I've discovered that you discuss farscape, and incredibly cool dramas (where do you get jumong, by the way? I'm convinced (by you, of course) to sell my soul to it) and pretty much everything else, and you do it with such love and delight it's catching.
and you just seem so very... kind. your posts always make me smile and feel better.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I have always been glad that I found you...you are responsible for me finding the gold mine of angst and love triangles that is doramas. And I will never, ever grow tired of thanking you for this.

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

Thanks! You're one of my favorite lj peeps with your insightful posting. *mwah*

[vierran45.livejournal.com]

Thank you, dear! I hope you enjoy the F4 DVDs :). I still blame you (and lj user="scottishlass">) for getting me addicted to dramas.... but I love the addiction :).

I love your posts and the enthusiasm you always display in them even though I might not always fangirl the same things. And your picspams... WOW!!!

If I could rip DVDs, I probably would have alread posted Takizawa Enbujo... I'ts a really great show! Now I just need to get Yoshitsune to understand that one segment that had me really wishing for subs...

[janlake83.livejournal.com]

thanks mousie.... and i love you being my drama pusher.... you seriously have gotten me hooked on soooo many dramas that my list keeps growing...

i read some of your post while i was at the CON and too bad my little bro wasn't sharing his laptop cause i wanted to comment on everything.... also they were selling asian dramas/ bollywood/ hk movies/ stuff we love at the con... nothing like the back row or as i dubbed it bootleg row.... thanks to them i know have a copy of king and clown with LJK and Dhoom2.... gotta love the randomness of it all...

Thanks!

[catdecember.livejournal.com]

i normally consider people i meet through F4/Meteor Garden to be friends for life. *lol*.

and we always need pretty boys! pretty boys make the world a better place! (and i should say, less expensive than anti-depressants). :)

[kitsune714.livejournal.com]

You're pretty awesome yourself, you know that? ♥ I love that there's someone else out there who enjoys shamelessly sentimental, emotionally manipulative romance dramas as much as I do!

[lazypadawan.livejournal.com]

Hey, thanks!

[smartylibrarian.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks!!

PS I can't stop watching that Partner music video you (& I) both posted.

Also Chak de India in a few weeks!! New Shahrukh is always good.

[miss-dian.livejournal.com]

dangermousie you were one of my very first friends in LJ, and I'm so greatful for that 'cause you are truly made of awesome! Thank you for your kind words. They made my day :)

*melts*

[lenabean.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwww. You know, I was SO TEMPTED to ask you about me, but then one of the voices in my head reminded me that we've only recently met, so what could you possibly have to say about me?!?

I am ecstaticglad that I checked out this page in spite of it. :D :D :D

dangermousie: Has the coolest LJ names, like "Jumonging through history" (<3!). Says everything I ever wanted to say about a drama, and executes it so eloquently, lucidly, and eloquently that I am always left speechless and in awe. Picspams like no other with the pretty. Is my newscaster for new dramas, and I can always trust her recs. Updates 5billion times a day, and I love it all so much that I have her LJ link on my Web browser so that I can check for updates every 10 minutes. Not only is a drama fanatic, but apparently a fanatic of everything else, so her literary/geeky/nerdy posts always fills me with glee. Am especially in love with book-talks. It makes reminds me of my English majoring days and eeeeeeeeee.

(That was re: Little Women and Mansfield Park. I am forever embittered by the non-Laurie/Jo. She chose an OLD MAN over TEDDY. TEDDY > OLD MAN any old day!!!!!!!)

[lenabean.livejournal.com]

PS: I was surprised you even remembered Old Man's name! To me, he was always Old Man, Uncle, or Grandpa when I read the book.

[queen-haq.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! And I love having you on m flist because you're my source for bollywood these days. I loved that you were as psyched about Fanaah as I was and that you're as enthused about the new SRK/Kajol as I am.

[ayn-rand-fan-13.livejournal.com]

*has been away for a while but is still a compliment whore* Me!

[kathputli-girl.livejournal.com]

Teehee! Hurray! You are so sweet! 8)

[elspethsheir.livejournal.com]

Aw... thank you!! I'm so touched!

And in answer to your question: I really am an Elspeth's Heir. My great-great-great-great aunt was an Elspeth, who was born and died in the Orkneys. She never wed, so she has no direct heirs, but, I really like the name (I was a big Elspeth Huxley fan), so it stuck.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I can't recall why we friended each other, either...I wanna say someone on my flist mentioned you in the context of something I liked and you were watching Gokusen and I had liked the first few eps of the anime so I read those posts...at least...that was when I started paying attention to your LJ...

And I ALWAYS latch on to the most obscure things, so it's nice to get people hooked on them.

And in this world, there will NEVER be enough Akito hate. NEVER! I would have an icon devoted to the concept but that would mean sacrificing valuable icon space to Akito.

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much for saying that, darling. That's really sweet of you. Just...*giant hugs!* This made my evening. :)

[shinystory.livejournal.com]

Haven't been around the past few days, and it's not my intention to be part of the meme, but in the spirit of gratitude:

I found you just randomly searching around, and I remember it was that long Shin meta that I stumbled upon. :) I'm not very interesting or lively on Livejournal, but I do enjoy reading. And your LJ is just a wonderful oasis when I need a break from the so-called "Real Life."

Thanks, always, for sharing.

[ginger001]

Okay, I didn't comment first because as I told elspethsheir I feel like I'm making you say nice things to me, although I know you offered ;) but well, it's good to read what you find interesting about every one of the members of you flist, so I'll give a try ;)

[koalathebear.livejournal.com]

Awwwww you are so sweet to mention me even though I didn't say anything. I was stopping by because I always adore reading your enthusiasms. There are very few people in the world who like so many things and I totally love that you do. I always adore the fact that you basically devour a series/movie/book in no time at all and yet still come up with an incredibly articulate, well-reasoned and interesting essay. *is jealous*

[ladysaotome.livejournal.com]

You're so sweet. :) Thank you!

I think I've told you before but I stumbled across you while doing a google search for Pride & your raving post just suckered me in. I searched your tags for everything I'd already seen to read your opinions (like Kurosagi), anything I'd been debating watching to see what you had thought (like Hanadan, believe it or not - soooo glad your live blogs convinced me to watch it) & now my watch list is 95% your fault. I check your blog a dozen times a day just knowing I'm going to find something that will make me laugh in the mutual love of so many dramas.

[kitkat-cat.livejournal.com]

aww... and dont forget, i'm someone who understands obsession about hot men with big swords!!! eee!!!!!!!!! and rose and dr. who

seriously though, it was reading your posts that finally prompted me to get my own LJ account! and it was your posts that finally made me watch meteor garden after refusing to for years! and also, i will always be grateful for your posts on Mars...all the raving from friends and family did nothing, but your posts made me crack!

now, all i need is to convert the ladies over to the charms of optimus prime and my life will be complete!

[kitkat-cat.livejournal.com]

and actually also, like the reply-ee ahead of me, it was googling Pride that first threw up your name! which also prompted me to watch my first jdrama after a break of more than a decade! and i've never looked back since!

[raisintorte.livejournal.com]

Awww! Thank you!!

[autumn-yaar.livejournal.com]

you totally made my day ♥

seriously though, you are one of my best lj friends. your entries are ALWAYS amusing, i look forward to reading them. we share a lot of the same interests (hello asian dramas and bollywood!! ^^) so.. i always get a kick out of what you write. you are just interesting all around, actually. xD

plus, you were the one who intro'd me to the love that asian dramas are so.. you kinda just get my love forever. ♥♥♥

and hey, maybe you'll go to egypt to visit one day, turn on the tv, and a movie i talked about pops up there LOL. xD
