Snatched from Hime [with edits]

[bard_linn]

Reply and I'll tell you something everything my poor math abused mind can think of that I like about you because I couldn't possibly limit myself to one thing.

Afterward, copy and paste this into your own journal.

And a story to go with....

There once was a teacher who wanted to help her students get along better.
So, one week into the school year, she passed around a sheet of paper with the student's names printed on it. Every student was to write one thing they admired about the other students. The teacher then collected the papers and cut them up, assembling each student's complete list. The school year then proceeded as normal.

Years later, on member of the class was killed by a car crash. while serving in Vietnam. They discovered the list in his wallet. The class got together to remember their fallen friend and discovered they had all kept their lists.
[Thanks hallidae for the correct info! Damm memory. Orginal story can be found at http://www.snopes.com/glurge/allgood.asp ]

Alright, enough randomness from me. Moving on....

Edit: New one from Kytynh

You are MS DOS. Often seen peeking out from around corners, you are shy but indispensable.

I actually like that discription.

I always thought it was a good story! Shows how much a little kindness can go a long way.

Reply huh....*thinks* wouldn't you know that already?

Alright. First of all, you've got a great sense of humor. You also have an empathy that, quite frankly, I envy. You're great at mind games. You have an impressive output of fiction that is quite unique. You're great to co-plot with and a VERY impressive Roy.

You're great at welcoming in people and making them feel comfortable. You act as a peacekeeper, even at the cost of your own health because you feel it needs to be done. You keep me from causing even MORE problems.

Heck, you just plain rock.

You're also probably one of my closest friends on the net and I'm greatful to have met you. You're practically family.

*knows there was more she wanted to say so you might get more replies later*

[kytyngurl2.livejournal.com]

*superduperflush*

T...thank you! ^_^

(Although, hey, obviously I'm not too good with the mind-games if people are catching onto them! ;) )

You are TOO kind!

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

(No, you just help me with mine, remember?)

*uber hugs you*

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

*remembered more!*

I personally think you are an extremely strong person for getting through those difficult periods in your life. [As opposed to me who just sidesteps trouble]. You have a very strong self of self about you that makes you someone others can depend on.

[kytyngurl2.livejournal.com]

I really want to meet this chick you all keep talking about! She sounds cool! XD

Seriously, thank you... I'm not really sure if I truly am a strong person as those times still really affect me to this day... but to hear someone say that I am is very heartening indeed. Thank you! *hugs*

I'm dependable? Wow. ^_^ *flush*

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Really easy to do. Get up, and look in the mirror. :P

Of course they still affect you! House and foundation, remember? Or the canvas to you Acepheed-sama's analogy.

[hallidae.livejournal.com]

::grinning:: It's a true story, actually. http://www.snopes.com/glurge/allgood.asp Only in the original, the young man was killed while serving in Vietnam. It's still a good story, though, I've always liked it.

[kytyngurl2.livejournal.com]

You give a link to www.snopes.com. I love you!!! <3

*diehard fan of that website since 1997 or so*

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

There's my imperfect memory functioning again....*will have to edit post*

Now, what to say about Hallidae? I think you are a very gifted person with a lot of creativity. You can both write and draw, the results of which amaze me. You are also very kind and a welcoming person with a great sense of humor.

[halfling-rogue.livejournal.com]

Oh, jeez, I remember those things. Had to do two of them. I think they're both buried in my room somewhere. o.O

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Hm. Well, I don't know you very well yet but I think you're funny and your writing is very good. And your icons are very pretty.

[halfling-rogue.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! Although the icon comment might apply, just not directly, since I took them all from other people. XD *hasn't had opportunity to make own icons lately* *is shot* *particularly since little sister is better at it*

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Can't be worse than mine.

[halfling-rogue.livejournal.com]

Iunno, some of them . . .

Aw, I want MSDOS. I got spazzy ME intstead. XD

[acdragonmaster.livejournal.com]

*waves* (*insert obligatory disclaimer that she doesn't post memes in her own journal, etc*)

And I've heard that story before, though I think I've heard a few variations on it.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Hai, hai. No memes. Hm....

Well, I don't know you very well, mostly only through Kytyn's journal. But you definitely have a great sense of humor. Your writing is FABULOUS. You're a Slayers fan and an FMA fan. *cheers* Your linguistic skills are very impressive. And you haven't killed me yet which is always a plus.

[acdragonmaster.livejournal.com]

Y'know, it's funny, I have *no* idea where my tendancy to be snarky/witty comes from. It's just there, often at random. >_>

And my writing needs work. If it were so good, I'd actually be able to *finish* my original stories. >_>

Killing people is bothersome and requires explanations. Much better to simply find other ways to keep them in line... *grins*

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Hm. I think writing is like an art. You only get better with practice. And orginal work? I blame the bunnies for interfering.

Question is what else would WORK with me...

[acdragonmaster.livejournal.com]

Actually, the reason I agreed to writing the self-insert was because I got so frustrated with some original stuff I was working on that I figured *anything* that could give me practice was good at that point. >_> Normally the reason I don't write fanfiction much is because original works automatically get a higher priority. I've offered to teach Hime this technique when she's complained of being plagued by bunnies, but she declined as it does have the effect of nullifying *all* fanfic bunnies, even the ones you originally *wanted* to finish.

What, you mean what would work to keep you in line? I'd give examples, but that would be telling. *smirks*

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Eep. No nulling Hime-fanfic bunnies.

*rolls eyes* I suspect I'd be immune. Very little keeps me in line besides my own desire to keep myself there.

[acdragonmaster.livejournal.com]

Yeah, apparently regardless of how much she complains she doesn't like the idea of being completely rid of them. >_>

*shrugs* I kid, anyway. I'm a Roy-type personality, it's in my nature to goof around like that. ;p

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* I complain too, but if I ever get to the point I don't have ANYTHING to write about I'd worry.

Ah ha! Another Roy-type! Know I know how to deal with you.

[acdragonmaster.livejournal.com]

Oh, I have tons of stuff to write about, but that's just covering the ideas for original works. I've actually managed to shut off new ideas completely for a time before, and then promptly wound up having an extremely elaborate dream that was an entire self-contained story unto itself. >_< So, I always have plenty ideas for stuff to write, it's just an issue of managing to get a chance to write it all out.

Oh DO you now...

can't imagine you could possibly be worse than Hime who declared herself Maes on me from the start

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Well, at least I know what to expect....

notes that she quite literally has several photo albums upstairs full of pictures and can do a pretty damn good Hughes impression using her sister as Alicia.

[lanerose]

::waves::

... and I love that story. ^_^

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Ah, my twin. Where to start?

You're a great friend who can understand how I think. Which is important, since you sometimes help translate my gibberish. You're a great support in times of trouble and you're creative. And great to plot with, along with Kytyn. You are a great beta (non existent gramer over here) and a great writer. Like Kytyn, if it wasn't for Heliocentric, the odds of me being here would be a lot less.

*smacks head* I know there was more to say but for now, I'll just say you're family in all but blood.

[lanerose]

XDD ::amused by the start::

::love:: Not to be obvious, but all of the above can be said conversely, too.

... and really? (@ Heliocentric thing) Really really? O_O

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

*amused because she just commented she was amused by the start and said that it could be said in reverse*

Considering my first bunnies came from Heliocentric, yeah....

[lanerose]

It's just weird / hard to believe somehow. ^^;;;;

... and XDDD

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

With us though? I can completely believe it...

[kytyngurl2.livejournal.com]

Awwww, DOS-Tan! How cute! *snuggles DOS* My very first OS!!!

You certainly are indispensable, Linn-chan! ^_^

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

*blush*

[kytyngurl2.livejournal.com]

Come onto AIM Now please?

[forgottenlover.livejournal.com]

You make me scared to reply to this ::isn't sure her mind can take more::

[forgottenlover.livejournal.com]

how much of it am I supposed to C&P anyway?

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Reply and I'll tell you something I like about you.

Afterward, copy and paste this into your own journal."

That.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Can't take more what?

First of all, your writing is impressive, especially how you characterize Envy. Your icon making skills leave me in the dust (and give me lots to laugh at). I think what I most admire is your ability to make connections with everyone and interact with people fearlessly. You connect people in ways that are astounding and manage to handle a load full of responsibilities.

[forgottenlover.livejournal.com]

::points to the LJ she's sure will get replies soon::

::smiles:: I'm glad you like my Envy, he certainly doesn't like *me* ::glances to ToaS which he's holding hostage until I write him the way I am with Fury::

Icons... Well, paint became my friend a long long time ago ::grins::

As to the interpersonal skills... I have no idea where those came from.

You're a sweetie yourself when you want to be

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Usually I wish to take Envy and paint the floor with his blood. I DETEST the sin/homonculus whatever. GRRRR. So the fact I even like him a tiny bit is an achievement.

Most days I seem to make people get depressed. *sighs* Too darn oblivious.

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

Cute piccy ^.^"

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

THERE you are!

I don't know you really well yet, but I am impressed by your writing abilities. You're only a senior in HS yet you write very well! You also do cute in a way that keeps it sweet and not sickening.

[hime1999.livejournal.com]

Hmm, as you wish? XD;;;;

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

And the Lady herself arrives. The entire reason for this post. ^_^

First of all, your skill at drawling is superb. (There are no adjectives well enough suited to it, so I'll have to leave it at that.) Your writing is wonderful. You are a very creative person who can create situations both realistic and enjoyable. You show dedication to accuracy with your in depth researching for information to keep things historically correct.

Besides your considerable skill at producing wonderful works of fandom, you are an extremely tolerant and generous individual. You allow people to run off with your ideas and twist them into completely new forms. And don’t kill them for doing it, even when you personally see it as an implausible idea.

You can use multiple languages. That impresses me to no end.

You are a rather organized person. You have multiple projects running at the same time, but still manage to keep track of who is going to write what and rather complicated plot lines. And you manage a lot of comms.

Perhaps most importantly, you are an accepting and welcoming person. For those of us who came to the fandom later, meeting those who have been here for a while can be intimidating. This is especially true in a project such as the Alter Series. By the time I personally had even discovered its existence, more or less it had become an established world with its plot line already determined. Such a thing can make newbies feel unworthy to enter. But when meeting you “in person” most people find it easy to relax. You don’t scare them away but rather encourage their creativity. Such a talent is invaluable.

Over all, you are an amazing person who I feel very privileged to have ‘met.’

[hime1999.livejournal.com]

Whoa, I'm totally flattered. XD;;;

It's always fun to see what people can come up with, so I don't see anything wrong with people playing around with my ideas. Besides, you guys don't do canon-rape. If I do find any of you do such.... *Evil Grin(TM)*

And multiple language is something I'm more of blissed with instead of makes efford for. Let's just say I'm lucky. ^_~

This is the first time anyone calls me organized. XD;;;; I7m very much cluttered everywhere and if not for the Army, I wouldn't have managed to keep track on anything. And yes, that includes you.

Hmm, most people meeting me have said that I'm one of the most stuck up, boring, and annoying person they've ever met. XD;;;; And honestly, I never think of myself of a kind person. But I'm glad that you can feel relaxed around me. I find it ridiculous for people to be afraid of me, unless you were She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, that is. *predatory grin*

And I still think you're cute. :P

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

*makes a note to have Squee get her a hole if she ever canon-rapes*

Hey, talent only takes you so far. You still have to develop it and use it.

Well, then you give the impression of being very organized. And I'm glad I can help.

Considering I've been called all of those and then some...*uses new spork on the people* Envy, that's all. Or not really knowing you. She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named? Dante? Fem!Voldie? *shot*

Cute? That's usually skyler's adjective.....*blushes*
