& next, on sci-fi... a meme
Nov. 12th, 2004 09:24 pmFirst, there was the very end of Beastmaster. Guest star of doom? CLAUDIA BLACK. *ded of squee*
Then, there was "Shades of Grey". I think I actually saw some Jack/Sam subtext
Then, there was nuDrom. Then I stopped watching. Ewwwwww. Some things? Just not watchable. Might watch "Home" later. R/E ♥ Er, I mean, um... yeah, basically it's the R/E love.
And I finally decided to cave and do this meme:
a. Choose 15 people from your friends list at random.
b. Write something about/to each of them.
c. Don't tell anyone who the statements are about. Good or bad. No matter how they beg!
d. But please do try to guess. That's what makes this fun!
e. The 15 people that were used should be listed. Not in the correct order, of course. Just to make sure one of them is even you before you start guessing.
Since I have over 100 friends listed, I sadly can't do all of you! But I have chosen 29 (I was aiming for 20...), and I'm trying to mix up old and new. Just for the record, if you aren't on the list, it doesn't mean I don't love you, and certainly doesn't mean I wouldn't love to get to know you better, or anything. It just means that I honestly cannot write something unique about all 104 of my mutual friends!

1. *snerk* I'm sometimes surprised by how much we have in common, even if you are a scary science type. Although I'm still not coming with you on the HP 'ship thing.
2. *snerks, again* I um, I love you? And you're a little crackwhore too. And your fannish opinions downright TERRIFY me, but yeah, we have to stick together lest we go insane?
cheese_munkey got it in one
3. Again with the Earth-shatteringly obvious here, but I admire you and adore you and still don't entirely see exactly what you see in me but duder. Friending you back was definitely one of the best choices I've ever made.
4. Ah, sweetie. I sometimes wonder what things would be like if, well, if we'd been different. Made different choices. I try not to regret anything in life, but you're one of the things I regret the most. Sometimes it's bittersweet, but sometimes it's just hard. I miss the innocence that was once us. (And I know you do too, at least in your more philosophical moods.) I love you?
5. Aww! You are still my mommy. And I know it's not always easy for you, but I'm glad you're making the choices that are right for you. ♥ always
6. Aww, for the cute and cuddly J/Dness to return! How can anyone deny their love in the light of your overwhelming true love for them?
oceana_ got it in one
7. Bitch! H0r! And also evil. Wait, this still doesn't distinguish you from everyone else on the flist, does it?
8. Dude, why didn't we become friends sooner? We have eerily large amounts of stuff in common.
hermionesviolin got it in one
9. Eee! My first real fangirl! And she's older than I am! *flattered to death*
surrealphatast got it in two
10. I love you, and you're wonderful, and slightly shiny, and only you truly comprehend the extent of my crackfulness. Which is exactly why I love you so much... that and, well, everything?
gvambat got it in one
11. I'm happy that you're making choices that are right for you and thanks for trying with the birthday present... it's so sad that it didn't work out. *weepz*. But yeah, you're still a cool person.
chrysaliswing got it in one.
12. I'm still flattered that you befriended me, and although your views on some things sort of frighten me, I think you're on the whole a very nice person. :p
13. I'm sure by this point you must think I'm stalking you, but really I'm not. Really. Remember, you friended me first. And you're such a wonderful, sweet, intelligent, thoughtful person... and we really do have lots in common. Even Willow/Giles.
14. I've fangirled you forever, and then it turns out you're a real person with real life issues and real life problems and you're human just like the rest of us. But you still write amazing fic. I don't know how you do it.
15. Much of your LJ leaves me going "wtf?" but you're such an awesome person I can't imagine defriending you. I'll just have to pretend you aren't an evil heathen.
16. O_o I really admire you, and am still your biggest fangirl, but, uh, sometimes your unconventional fannish opinions still leave me reeling.
castalie got it in, uh, five?
17. One of my most consistent friends through the years, you share the best things with us. Good luck this month...
18. One of these days, you and I have *got* to hook up in real life. You make me believe that there really is adulthood after college. You may not always have the easiest life, but you've got one, and it doesn't *entirely* revolve around fictional boys shagging, either. Well, not *entirely*. Sometimes the girls get in on the action too.
19. Sometimes you really, really piss me off. And sometimes I really regret how things went down between us. I'm glad you're happy now.
20. There was a time when I actually thought that we were going to get together... even went so far as to tell RL people about it.. I guess it was probably for the best that we didn't, but you're still a sweetie. *licks*
fairhaven got it in six.
21. Well, whatever I say to you either a) will be so blindingly obvious that everyone gets it or b) will be so obscure even you don't get it. I miss you?
22. WRITE MORE. *ded of kink*
dirty_diana got it in one
23. You are evil. And yet, you like Dar. How can such a contradiction be resolved?
splash_the_cat got it in one
24. You just crack me up. And we share a kink or two, and you just seem like a genuinely nice person.
jedi_penguin got it in three
25. You? Are so fun. And we've got to stick together online because no one in real life understands us... we don't share a lot of fandoms, but the ones we do have in common are the really, really cool fandoms. Really.
mayhap got it in three
26. You're the best... you're never leaving my flist. Even when you're in a bad mood, your way of looking at the world is encouraging. We may not have a lot in common, but we share the really important things. I aspire to be as cool as you one day.
laynamarya got it in one
27. You're the sweetest thing. I don't know how you manage it.
maching_monkey got it in two
28. After all these years, still my favorite fruit.
neon_ethos got it in one.
29. I blame you for the whole fandom thing. Yes. You. It's all your fault, and you can't deny it. H0r.
Then, there was "Shades of Grey". I think I actually saw some Jack/Sam subtext

Date: 2004-11-13 04:05 am (UTC)I'll go with a safe guess. #23?
(Btw, speaking of egotistical--and likely wrong-- I think I might've started the whole PEGs-liking-Dar thing. A friend of mine from Staunton--initials are D.J., and she was one of the early 90s PEGs who started SOULS--introduced me to her music way back when. I then proceeded to play "The Christians and the Pagans" to everyone in the dorm who would listen, and now there are all these Dar-obsessed PEGs. Coincidence? I think not!) *g*
(no subject)
Date: 2004-11-13 04:17 am (UTC)My Dar fannishness is 'cos my cousins sang "The Christians and the Pagans" at Thanksgiving awhile back, and I felt compelled to find it on Napster (it really was Napster, back in the day), and then, well, I thought, hey, she sings pretty well... *finds ten thousand more songs by her*
But nope, the Dar fan in question in #23 is not only not you, she's not even a PEG.
Go with egoism? :p

I'd like to be number 24, and judging by the other answer (it's not really cheating, is it?), I'm not the only one.
Is one of them right?

Am I one of the following --> 12 - 15 - 24? And even though I guess I can't be 26 --not on your flist, at least *g*-- I'll still add it here because #26 is really cool. So I may be a tad jealous of the one who'll get it *nodnod*

Date: 2004-11-13 02:44 pm (UTC)Okay, so here's Meg doing exactly what Ari did. More Angst. Well, more fun!Angst. Less actual!angst, but still. What if I misinterpreted all of Ari's comments and letters and she really doesn't like me that much or maybe I'm taking it way more serious than her?
This meme is EBIL.
1. *snerk* I'm sometimes surprised by how much we have in common, even if you are a scary science type. Although I'm still not coming with you on the HP 'ship thing.3. Again with the Earth-shatteringly obvious here, but I admire you and adore you and still don't entirely see exactly what you see in me but duder. Friending you back was definitely one of the best choices I've ever made.
Mebbe. I can't remember if I Friended you first or you friended me. Oh geez. *Bites nails*. Feels like I've known you forever and a couple of days (or well, a couple of summers). Still. You used the word "duder" and I use that word. But I also could've gotten that word *from* you.
It's hard to tell these days what's Meg's nifty new word and what's Ari.
7. Bitch! H0r! And also evil. Wait, this still doesn't distinguish you from everyone else on the flist, does it?8. Dude, why didn't we become friends sooner? We have eerily large amounts of stuff in common.
Umm, maybe. We do share the love of slash and queerness and crack pairings and there's Buffy, 'Scape, 'Gate, possibly other things. Angst! Angst!
9. Eee! My first real fangirl! And she's older than I am! *flattered to death*
True, I am older than you. And I am so Ari's fangirl. But I think this is someone else. Maybe. I dunno.
10. I love you, and you're wonderful, and slightly shiny, and only you truly comprehend the extent of my crackfulness. Which is exactly why I love you so much... that and, well, everything?
This could be me! Really! Because I'm sometimes shiny and yes, we bond through crack pairings. Truly our love is all about the crack pairings.
Aww and Ari loves me.
Unless this isn't mine and she doesn't.
14. I've fangirled you forever, and then it turns out you're a real person with real life issues and real life problems and you're human just like the rest of us. But you still write amazing fic. I don't know how you do it.
This is true, but I suspect not about me. I'm hoping for the amazing fic part, tho.
Umm, I guess it would've been too much to ask for mine to include something like Rodney is teh_sexx OMG ONE ELEVEN or Naked!Daniels or Sam/Cassie 4EVA OTP. Or something like that.
Yeah...thought so.
16. O_o I really admire you, and am still your biggest fangirl, but, uh, sometimes your unconventional fannish opinions still leave me reeling.
Uhh, I have unconventional fannish opinions? Really? Maybe. Oh, geez, I dunno.
22. WRITE MORE. *ded of kink*
Well, I do tend to write your OTP's. J/D, S/C, S/J (Janet! the Good S/J not it's ebil Sam/Jack twin), S/D, Chi/D'argo, Aeryn/Zhaan, etc.
GAH!
Okay, if I have to pick just ONE,
#10. 'cause we do have shared crack love. And we established in my meme that we're both ON crack.
- Meg

Date: 2004-11-13 08:44 pm (UTC)Yours is definately one of the ones you italicized an thought about, though.
Umm, I guess it would've been too much to ask for mine to include something like Rodney is teh_sexx OMG ONE ELEVEN or Naked!Daniels or Sam/Cassie 4EVA OTP. Or something like that.
Yeah, well, see, I considered it, but then I was like: no. :p
For the record, although I don't think it says it in your little note, I do love you. Truly. Large, large, large amounts.
And for the record, 9 has been taken, so you can cross it off your list. :)

Date: 2004-11-13 08:46 pm (UTC)No, you're not 24. Sorry. Golly, I didn't realize how generic 24 was going to seem until my entire flist thought it meant them!
