Endings, beginnings and taking roll call.

Today's post is about paying "the love" forward. I feel like that doesn't happen enough. We bitch about out fandoms. About writing. About our opinions. About each other and all the times people have peed in our pockets. Today, I want to talk about things I like. Things that make me happy. So, without further ado:


Some People Who I Really Like Talking to/Hearing From/Reading About (Now in alphabetical order mostly!)

breakthecitysky: I friended you because I really enjoyed the snippets you wrote for S2 Southland and I'm kind of hoping you are keeping some under your mattress for a rainy day. I love your enthusiasm for your family and congratulations on your degree.

forsweatervests: You are kind and thoughtful and helpful and I always like talking with you. Thank you for that.

imogenedisease: Your fic reminds me of what I loved about Generation Kill fandom. Your enthusiasm for Walt and Ray is adorable. And I don't like hockey, but I like it when people are really into what they like. Write me some Justified fic, yis?

lazlet. One word: chocolate. Another word: Eleven. Chocolate-covered Eleven? I think so.

maurheti: Wherever did you come from? I mean I have some ideas; I did pay attention in sex ed. Whatever. I so enjoy talking to you and picking your brain and how you give things real thought, even when I'm asking inane business. I appreciate you, thank you for being yourself.

meret: Thank you so much for your daily news link posts. You keep me so informed I find I'm a little scared. But better to have too much information than too little (Seriously, people, if you want to be informed: read her LJ. For real, this 20 Worst Drinks in America is wild. I knew that Rockstar thing had to be bad for you).

moneyfolder: You do AUs. You provide music. You hate racism. Dude, how could I not appreciate that? U iz awesome!

no_detective: You are like the ultimate fangirl. Everything you like you are passionate about, but you manage not to bring any negativity to that. That's really fucking awesome. You even made me skim your Adam Lambert post. That's like... huge.

: It should tell you something that I don't even know how to link to a dreamwith account. Um, anyroad. Why, when I friended you, could I not read your journal? That's distressing to me! What's up with that? Because you are awesome and I always like talking to you and I should be able to talk to you more. Somebody fix this!

scribblinlenore: Like your partner in crime, no_detective, I love how happy you are in your fandoms. How you are willing to try anything twice. I have no idea how you get me to read your Adam Lambert fic though (I know it's some Jedi voodoo) and I wish you would make it stop.

tazical: I cannot even think how I came across you. Probably serialkarma. All I know is that every post from you is a guaranteed adventure. Especially if it's work related. Thank you for bringing your sense of humor with you to work (and managing to keep it).

the_grynne: Thank you for keeping me informed of everything entertainment related that I need to know, or want to know, or on some occasions really didn't want to know about.

wordsalone: I just like you. You're kind and thoughtful and helpful, that's a lot these days.


PORN SWAT: I realized a while ago that my GK days are long over, but you made every last one of them enjoyable. Thank you for your time and inspiration and inappropriate jokes. Y'all are awesome. Please go take over the world now so we can get to fixing it.

And last, but never least, to everybody who reads this LJ: Thank you for your time, your help, your invaluable intelligence and music collections. Thank you for your support. I'm glad you like what I do. I hope y'all are interested in visiting Harlan County, Kentucky, because I'm pretty sure that's where we're going next (with obvious stops in Los Angeles to visit with the LAPD).

If not, that's cool too, thanks for stopping by maybe I'll see you around.
