"Ten friends, cryptic comments" meme!

foxmonkeyIt's a bit late, but here's my entry in the "pick ten LJers on your friends list, say something about them..." meme. With a twist though, because a few of these are group-oriented. Also, I'm not tagging anyone because I'm already late on this thing as it is. ;-) Here we go.
1) SMART. Even after years of reading entries, some of you people still amaze me. And not just smart, funny too, which is a killer combination for me. I'm pleased and proud and honestly, just a bit awed that some of you people still associate with me. I'm proud to know you, believe me.
2) It amazes me that you put so much of yourself out there, it's something I wish sometimes that I could do. I have to admit that when I first friended you, some of your posts made me roll my eyes but as I've watched you over the years I realize that it's just you, you're real. You're completely out there, and I admire that about you.
3) I think we almost completely click, but we're kind of like the proverbial ships that pass in the night - close, but not quite. It saddens me, because I think we'd probably get on like a house afire if we knew each other offlline. TMI, but it kind of hurt a bit to see you click so well with someone else recently. For some reason I was really nervous when we talked and everything I said came out the wrong way, and I didn't quite say what I really meant. Aiii, I'm a doofus. ;-)
4) I'm social but waaaay too private about some things, so I want to tell two of you that I really love you like crazy. My long LJ hiatus certainly didn't help matters, but I'm taking the opportunity now to let you both know that you mean a lot to me, even if I'm a shit about showing it. I've probably told each of you something to that effect at least once, so...yeah.
5) We met, we clicked, we...haven't done anything since! So, we didn't click? Anyway, I miss you. As above, my LJ hiatus didn't help, I'm sure. I wish we'd been able to keep in touch - which sounds kind of stupid seeing how we've got this very public forum in which to interact. :-) Still, we do the comment thing, so that's something.
6) There's a whole group of you I've never interacted with. I've read your entries but never commented, mostly because it feels awkward. Even though we've friended each other, would you welcome a comment from me? Would you wonder who the hell I am? Would I say something stupid? Oy, the self-inflicted drama!
7) If we've interacted and I like you and I haven't friended you, it's because I'm for shit at checking my friends info. I used to check quite a bit, but I hated it when people unfriended me, so I stopped checking my friends stats as regularly! If that makes me sound like the world's biggest loser well, maybe I am. Anyway, I've been checking the page and I'm slooooowly adding people I recognize.
8) I hate being filtered. ;-p Again, my LJ hiatus probably didn't help. :-(
9) I like you and you seem interesting. I'd like to get to know you better! [Seems vague, but that really is directed at someone :-)]
10) Dude, I just realized that you unfriended me! I thought you liked me?

Date: 2006-07-28 03:21 am (UTC)Damn girl, you're good. ;-) Yes, you're #2! You're very open about what you're feeling and thinking, and I admire that. There's a lot of stuff about myself that I've just never posted, and I like that you're comfortable enough with both yourself and your friends list that you go for it.

Date: 2006-07-28 03:24 am (UTC)And it doesn't bother me that you rolled your eyes, hell I would too!
Thank you for the kind words, you're a keeper.
no subject
Date: 2006-07-28 03:34 am (UTC)I'm glad that your feelings aren't hurt, because that certainly wasn't my intention. ::hugs:: Honestly, I didn't think I'd be telling you that it was you, but you caught me off guard by guessing that you were you. :-D
Thank you for the kind words, you're a keeper.
So are you. :-)

Date: 2006-07-28 03:36 am (UTC)Almost doesn't count, though, does it?
Next time!
If you weren't talking about me, I'll call the next time I go over to Columbus anyway.

Date: 2006-07-28 03:42 am (UTC)Am I #5? I am, arent' I? We did click! I almost called you when I was visiting Erin last week.
Yes, my dear, you are #5. I had *such* a good time! Yay! We clicked! I thought so, too. :-)

Date: 2006-07-28 03:51 am (UTC)We had a marvelous time. And then you disappeared and I didn't want to bother you. You have no idea how many times I held the phone in my hand and almost dialed your number when I was in Columbus. Erin and Ashley wanted to see you, too. And when Mom died, at her memorial service, I read the thing you sent me that you read when your mom died.
That all sounds very dramatic, doesn't it?
But I missed you!

Date: 2006-07-28 04:10 am (UTC)I wanted to see them, too! They're both such sweeties. The whole weekend was just a joy, and would have been even minus the Chasez.
I did the same thing when I realized that your mom had died. I had the phone in my hand, tears in my eyes, but I just couldn't think of what to say because at that point, I think it had been at least a couple of weeks since her death. I felt incredibly lame that I hadn't been keeping up with things before that. :-(

Date: 2006-07-28 04:21 am (UTC)Isn't it funny how we hesitate to do things because we don't know what to say? So silly, but so human.
And now we know, and that makes me very happy.
