Take a look at your LJ friends list, then list up to 10 things you want to say to 10 different friends.
DO NOT state who these people are.
DO NOT confirm or deny any "comment speculation."
1. You and I don't talk as much as we used to, but I don't feel at all like we're "growing apart." It's cool. You know I'm there if you need me, and I know I can come to you no matter how weird the shit. In fact, the weirder the better. You're smart and sharp and funny as all hell, and you've no idea how much I'd adore meeting you in person. In fact, I'm half convinced if we ever did meet, one or the other of us would end up curled in each other's lap. You're that cuddly.
2. Sometimes you amaze me with how very nice you can be. You make me try to be nicer and think kinder things. And I love knowing I can make you laugh. I actually actively try to make you laugh, which I don't do with everyone. When good things happen to you, I'm so happy for you, because you so totally deserve them. :)
3. You -- I love you to bits and pieces, and I totally need to phone you more. Your schedule's been wonky as hell lately, and that's part of the reason I haven't called recently, but it's on my mind, so don't be surprised if I call you soon.
4. Sometimes I'm afraid we will drift apart, and that frightens me. I'm not a clingy friend, or, at least, I try not to be, and sometimes that pushes people away. I hope I don't push you away; I'd miss you. I wish we were close enough to actually do things together.
5. You will never, ever know how much you brighten my day. Even my saying so doesn't do it justice. A comment from you in my LJ never fails to put a smile on my face, and I'm glad we've sort of reconnected lately. You're like a bottle of fine champagne that someone shook up. ^_~
6. You and I have some of the best conversations, and even though we have a lot of different opinions and beliefs, I think it just makes the conversations all the more interesting. I aspire to your level of snark.
7. You have no idea how much I value your unvarnished honesty. You pull no punches, and I respect and admire that. I've gotten a glimpse of your intellectual side, and I wouldn't mind getting a better look -- though it is pretty intimidating. You and I tend not to talk about "real world" things very much, but I'd like to change that.
8. I've known you the longest of any online friends, and even though we go through long stretches where we don't contact each other, know that I hold your friendship dear to my heart. Though I do wish you'd surface a little more often. :)
9. I am almost certain that not a single one of my online friends has made me squeal in glee quite as frequently as you have, particularly lately. You're so. Frickin'. CUTE. I just want to roll around in it. I'm so glad to have "met" you!
10. You. Holy cow, you. How you do not have an ulcer by now, I will never know. Someday I hope you'll realize how phenomenally talented you are, because you short-change yourself way too often, and that's a shame. I admire you and I am in awe of what you can do. I hope things start to look up for you, because you completely deserve a change of luck.
Aaaaand, hmm. You know, it's been a while since I've done a drabble meme. I think it's time to do one. I did this one a long while back, and actually went looking for the results today, so it's fresh in my mind:
Name a pairing or character (that I'm familiar with, in a fandom I'm familiar with) and I will write one line of a story for it.
Fandoms I'm willing to write in:
BtVS
AtS
Inuyasha
Furuba
Samurai Champloo
D. Sayers
Aaaaaannnnnnd...... hmmm.... oh, what the hell -- let's make this challenging, eh?:
Good Omens (though I really think I shouldn't try anyone other than Crowley or Aziraphale)
Sandman
Pride and Prejudice
I do reserve the right to write MORE than one sentence, should the whim take me. ;)

:D
no subject
Date: 2006-06-01 11:51 am (UTC)Ohthankgod I don't have to write more than one line. (I love Jin, and I love that episode, but, holyshit, difficult much?)
*ahem*
He was not a selfish man; he left such things to Mugen (selfish, crass, filthy, ignorant Mugen), but even now, as he gripped the pole, slowly making his way across the placid water, he wondered why he was returning at all -- what could he offer her? He had nothing.
But then, neither did she.
Jin thought vaguely of a rainy night and unagi charred beyond all recognition. He thought of her hands, her smile. He'd had nothing then, either. And neither had she. And, somehow, simply being with her was enough to make him forget all that he didn't have.
With renewed determination, he continued across the lake.

Date: 2006-05-31 10:42 pm (UTC)Okay. Peter/Harriet.
no subject
Date: 2006-06-01 12:35 pm (UTC)"I say," came the sleepy, familiar voice, "I think you've missed. Try a bit lower, wouldn't you?"
Okay, so not one sentence. But that last bit just demanded to be added. :)

Date: 2006-05-31 02:01 am (UTC)Now un momento por favor... isn't there some kind of royalty I should be collecting from you?
*wiggles eyebrows* If you give me an update as to when I'll be reading the latest chapter of OG&M, we'll call it even. *winks*
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 02:09 am (UTC)If I really applied myself, I could probably get it posted by next week.
That is, of course, a HUGE "if". But I think I've worked through some of the worst problems I'm facing with the chapter, so I can probably start hitting it again. And may do that tomorrow, actually. Maybe I'll even put some coffee on! (I drink it so rarely that it's almost like performance-enhancing drugs for my brain!)
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 02:14 am (UTC)Coffee? Starbucks? Where? WHERE?!

no subject
Date: 2006-06-01 12:08 pm (UTC)It wasn't that he couldn't live without her -- he could have, if he'd wanted to -- but now that she lay gasping in his arms, her life's blood pouring out of injuries too numerous to mention, the red liquid mingling with his, staining their clothes, soaking the ground, he realized one very important thing: he didn't want to.
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 02:14 pm (UTC)Why yes, many people do suspect that I was shaken at some point...
A one-line story, huh? Okay.
There was absolutely no explaining it. A fortnight earlier, it had been a near-mint condition 1901 issue of Strand magazine, complete with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's second installment of the highly overrated (but delightfully collectable) Hound of the Baskervilles. Aziraphale flipped through the aged pulp, noting for the first time what great unease a person could feel upon not seeing mediocre illustrations and inhaling ten decades of dust mites.
Never had Freddy Mercury's autobiography so caused a man's hands to shake ...at least not outside San Francisco.
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 02:17 pm (UTC)Name a pairing or character (that I'm familiar with, in a fandom I'm familiar with) and I will write one line of a story for it.
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 07:42 pm (UTC)You get more than one line -- you get... uh, I don't know how many words, actually.
Date: 2006-05-31 07:52 pm (UTC)He looked at her now with new eyes -- eyes no longer the Dog's, but his own. He looked upon his Goddess and tried to remember why she was so very important to him. He tried to recapture the fire that had ignited in his veins at the thought of her, of possessing her. It was gone. That urge, that desire, had fled with the Dog's spirit.
All he saw was a girl. And instead of passion for her, he felt pity.

Date: 2006-06-01 12:03 am (UTC)Giles/anyone/anything. Doesn't even have to be alive.
no subject
Date: 2006-06-01 12:24 pm (UTC)Lord, you had to go and say that, didn't you? This would've turned out differently if you hadn't said THAT.
*cracks knuckles*
Cool, moist dirt dampened the knees of his trousers as he knelt, a plane ticket in his pocket and regrets swirling through his head; perhaps it wasn't unusual he felt this way: greater Watchers than he had stumbled, had committed transgressions the likes of which he tried never to consider -- but now, as he knelt by the grave of his Slayer, his charge, he wondered how things might have been different had he not been so reserved, had he not tried so bloody hard to keep that professional distance between them, and he couldn't help but think of every time he'd failed her -- perhaps loving her had been one his greatest failure, or perhaps never doing anything about it had been.
For the record, I do not 'ship Buffy/Giles, so this was probably horribly clumsy. But the idea, she would not go away. ;)
