Mutual friends


In alphabetical order.

_kuku_, I don't know. All I recall about you is a connection with Madi, whom I rather miss, as I fear to talk with people adept in things but far more skilled than I, such as abi_dierecte, as I fear that would be wasting their time.

abi_dierecte, you're in part what I hope to be [and so I hope you will correct me if my perception of you is wrong] - someone able and dedicated to learning (and video games) and seriously good at it. I look at your posts and hope that my future will be like that, though I will choose different disciplines for myself.

alliancesjr, I'm not very well acquainted with you, though I am curious as to whether I can get you to play BFG on occasion. Your stories are interesting and generally fairly unobjectionable, and you give interesting advice, which is excellent.

armygeek, you've made me proud of myself and amused at my conduct, without being actually involved in the event. Your distancing is interesting, though as a consequence I don't know you very well and you seem to be somewhat ... non-open as far as explaining things goes.

auntpol, I love you - and learn from you. You're someone I misjudge regularly, leading to strange enforcements. I do think, though, that you're intelligent (though not in the inspiring form I favour) enough to choose for yourself and you're possibly my most conventional friend by that definition - my regard for you remains fairly consistent despite disappointments, and I can hardly deny treating you ill on many occasions myself.

bethan_b_bad, you are cute and adorable - and take care of me, which is much appreciated. As far as I know, you are indeed pretty and not fat, and the attempts to imbue me with tact and similar social qualities are appreciated. You're also sensible and reasonable, which makes you a reliable and excellent friend.

bloodied_aura, you're interesting and intelligent. We haven't spoken that much of late, but that's not really a consequence of faults. I'd like to get to know you better again; particularly now that you appear to have acquired a surprising amount of sense.

bloody_petals, you're mature. I can, however, occasionally outclass you in some things. This reminds me: there are some things about which I'd like to quiz you.

buggeration, you are awesome, reliable, trusted and just a little scary. I got 67 seconds on Solitaire yesterday, by the way, so I think I'm one second off your achievement. You're sensible and choose interesting courses, which though not to my taste (Cambodia is hot!) make you more interesting. You're also sincere and amusing; I respond poorly to the latter, I admit, but I truly am amused often in conversation with you.

caketime, you're calming and nice, though your voice does sound a little harsh. You give me interesting insight into teenage life and human character, though, since I'm even more atypical than you. Worry less, please.

castaboras, you're not stupid, though I'd possibly advise less terming your friends that. You're probably the most mundane journal on my friends list, which is quite a quality.

chrestomanci, your posts, even the particularly despondent ones, brighten up my journal and make it especially interesting. I don't grunt incoherently to everyone, you know! You're also helpful and friendly, though I don't know you well. The instructions are a nice touch, though: but I think I'll stay away from courting you. That won't be hard, since I'm still afraid of hugging you.

spacemonkymafia, you're a general LJ friend of reasonable interest. I might pounce on one of your posts one day, from which a more personal relationship may - or may well not - develop.

emma_tmmm, you amuse me. I don't think your posts excessive or boring, even when they stretch my friends page due to the big pictures of strange beasts. You also look my image of an old maid, though your beauty is unfaded. I suppose I shall wish you luck in various of your pursuits.

eofs, you're something I have no interest in being. You make it interesting, though, and I read it.

episkopos, the screening irritates me, as does any vagueness you manifest. I think you're more in risk of falling into pseudointellectual territory than I, which is saying something.

fernwithy, I think of you as a librarian despite encountering you via fandom and only having your fandom journal friended. Your essays, when I can muster the energy to read them (which is most of the time I'm visiting my friends page) are well-thought-out and nice. Even the rants are unobjectionable.

fractia, I consider you weird.

free_nuide, reading about your days and life is nice, and your spelling no longer repulses me. We have few things in common, but I like you.

gibbous, you're a mystery to me. Do you still use IM?

hashire, some of your behaviour is unexplained and seems ill-motivated and ill-justified. Some of your behaviour irritates me.

hopelessutopian, I hold some small amount of disdain for your personality. This is probably mutual.

incomplet_, a game of chess, please.

kageotogi, I'm still just watching your posts warily.

kalinalea, I suppose I'm just a fairly weak almost-fan. Be well.

kittyface, the MSN issue annoys me but oh well. You outclass me, and I wish you well.

kntckyfrdbnbn, glad to be able to amuse you. Your profile still leaves me many avenues of attack, mind. Consider yourself poked. While you're about it, try acquiring some dedication - or at least dropping a little of the perverse amusement.

8cake, you are love and hugs and the occasional introspective discussion. Be smiled upon and at.

arinellen, you are my friend. An old friend, with the most important superlatives of any acquaintance of mine, and she to whom I always wish to talk. I rather miss you, as it happens, and I doubt that you'll read this, but oh well. You've taught me many things, and are my confidante - though I don't make my personal issues confidential.

love_just_is15, don't underestimate yourself, relax, understand that I don't try to attack you and learn to answer questions asked out of curiosity, or you'll likely meet some so-called intellectual less merciful than me. While we're on the subject, try to stick to saying things you mean and understand; this includes quotations.

maexle, to you, I'm a total failure. I apologise for reneging on my word to do things, and am sorry.

marmot_pie, out of all the people here save Danica I'd like to phone you most. Also, I am still curious about the legendary rants/essays/spontaneous outbursts.

marxipan_xlii, could you possibly be a little less selfish?

mdisley, I hope I learn to focus better than you.

nasty_shrew, I meant the things I said, even if Drama Queenly. I also like Courier New, and find you charming as ever. I am still at your service, protective or otherwise. I do wish you'd be a little more reliable, though. Your life I'm curious about, and I enjoy our conversation. You're quite an adorable girl.

osmandias, you tie with buggeration as my most trusted person. It is very strange, though, to see you squee. A little worrying too. Would you like a phone call?

oxfordgirl, you're brilliant and allegedly sexy. I'm not, and look up to you for it.

patternsofchaos, I still think you a genius.

penchaft, you are awesome and inscrutable. But you hug and utilise equals-sign-smilies, and this makes it all less frightening. I'm glad I don't really utilise sociopathic techniques, I doubt they'd be effective with respect to you.

peppa_minto, you used to be one of my close friends. These days I miss you.

periazhad, talk with me.

reaps, you're good. Sometimes when I think of you I laugh at myself. Have a drink of water.

redmapletree, I miss our conversations and games of chess. I am wary of further pestering you, though. In any case, I wish you wonder.

rock_n_write, various things about you I find frustrating because I can think of actions which I would have considered far superior.

schnouzi, you have a dog. I know little else about you.

sharps, I read your journal for incidental interest and a narrative style I don't find elsewhere.

tattered_pinion, you're probably my most regular opponent, and an interesting person besides, though I personally, for some reason, don't see fit to probe your character. Our contrasts in approach to people and the like are very interesting to look at, though.

uno_marsch, you can be thoughtful. On the other hand, we have few interests in common.

uruserce, I like hearing you talk about yourself very much. I also like encountering you and being encountered by you on other journals. That said, I have a desire to fly over and hug you.

xeillseyant, you amuse me in curious ways.



1. Concede. This isn't very satisfying as it doesn't demonstrate much understanding on your part, but will get you out of the corner.
2. Ask for counsel. I'm rarely hostile and if asked for help will immediately regress to friendliness.
3. Postpone discussion. This isn't a solution, but will give you time to relax and think.
4. Withdraw problematic statements and keep going. This is, in my opinion, the best way to go about matters. A summary after the withdrawal may help to keep things clear.
