The Awesome Meme

eponymous_roseBecause various and sundry people on and off my flist seem to be having a rough time of it lately, I think it's probably time to resurrect this meme.
Comment here, even if it's just with a "hey" or a "hello" or a "potato salad", and I will tell you something I like about you.
I don't care if you've known me for ten years, if we see each other every day, if we've just met, or if you're a lurker who's never commented on the journal before. I'll find something! ;)
Edit: Going to bed, but the love shall continue tomorrow - all comments get a reply! :D

Date: 2009-01-14 05:30 am (UTC)Because I forgot to mention this at the time: I adore that you posted clips of Stephen Colbert and Josh and the bots around Christmastime, for there is honestly no better way to celebrate! You always have the neatest links/YouTube vids in your journal. :D

Date: 2009-01-14 05:35 am (UTC)I've actually been getting into your House-fics recently, and haven't had a chance to leave any coherent reviews yet, but they are absolutely awesome. You put such neat spins on the characters and situations - definitely an argument against the whole everything's-been-done-before thing.

Date: 2009-01-14 05:44 am (UTC)I don't know where to start, with your awesome. You have a raptor icon, and absolutely the best taste in Holmeses I have ever found, and your journal features recs of 8-bit music and awesome pictures of Nick Briggs, and you're always a voice of sanity in an absolutely crazy fandom. On top of that, you are so much fun to chat with, and I am so glad I finally got to know you after following you around online in a totally non-creepy manner. ;)

Date: 2009-01-14 05:46 am (UTC)Your posts tend to make me sporfle in a totally undignified manner. I hope you're happy. ;)
Basically, you're way too awesome and witty for your own good. I tend to just sort of lurk around your journal, but I will break that habit and actually say something at some point! I will!

Date: 2009-01-14 05:51 am (UTC)I think I've already gone on and on at you about how much I love your writing, so I will just ask you to take that as given here. Also, hey, you introduced me to Mark Kermode! (Well, not literally, because that would be kind of odd, but excellent all the same.) I'm so looking forward to just settling down with more of Kermode's reviews at some point. Thank you for that!

Date: 2009-01-16 02:23 am (UTC)You are absolutely spectacular - I'm always excited when we come across another bit of fandom in common, because that means more awesome insights from you, which is always a good thing. Your squee posts about various and sundry TV shows I haven't yet seen (Mad Men!) generally tend to make me cave and watch it (which I will, as soon as I can get my hands on it!), because, eee, and you have great taste. Also, our somewhat bizarre conversations on AIM! So much fun. *hugs to you*

Date: 2009-01-16 02:26 am (UTC)I absolutely adore your enthusiasm for the less well-known branches of Doctor Who fandom - Big Finish in particular. Charley! Your squee never fails to make me happy.

Date: 2009-01-16 02:30 am (UTC)First off, you have a Will quote as your default icon, and that is so much win. I love that we seem to have a ridiculous amount of fandoms in common (now I just need to comment more and there will be much squee!), and I honestly can't thank you enough for that beta you did for me, back in the day. ;)

Date: 2009-01-16 02:38 am (UTC)I know I don't comment much, but I love getting to read a bit about the work you do - biology definitely isn't my strong suit, but I've always had a little-kid love of aquariums. :D I've also really been enjoying your Old Skool Tour!

Date: 2009-01-16 02:48 am (UTC)I need to comment more. I keep saying that to people, but, dude! We have approximately a trillion fandoms in common, and I adore your posts of squee and meta, and sanity in Who fandom is a rare commodity indeed. Also, your reaction posts to The Middleman were what got me into the show. YOU WIN AN INTERNETS.
Also also, I have to say that I absolutely adore your default icon (now if I ever do that "what do you associate with me?" meme again, my answer would be already prepared!).

Date: 2009-01-14 05:13 am (UTC)(First day of new job tomorrow, can't pass up an opportunity to bolster my confidence. Just in case I don't have a chance later, must say: your posts never fail to make me grin)

Date: 2009-01-16 02:52 am (UTC)You reversed the polarity of the potato salad! That's awesome all on its own.
I loved hearing about the run-up to your trip to China, and it sounds like you had a really awesome time - you're super-nice, and I always love reading your comments, because you go and do crazy things like, well, reversing the polarity of the potato salad. ;)

Date: 2009-01-21 04:07 am (UTC)That right there is one of the reasons why you're so awesome - you have all the best Canadiana, be it a plan for global domination, or an amazing sales pitch for the city of Montreal. (Have I thanked you recently for that? Because it was a big part of what snapped me out of my wishy-washiness, and I think I owe you big-time for that.) :D

Date: 2009-01-21 04:15 am (UTC)Apart from your excellent taste in Masters, your approach to life in general (and the bar exam in particular) seems to be a lot on the sensible side, which I admire greatly. Looking forward to future fannish good times!

Your meta and squee posts always manage to point out all the best parts - in short, you are the coolest, and I'm so glad you're on my flist. :D

Date: 2009-01-25 05:35 pm (UTC)I absolutely, absolutely adore your Two/Jamie squee - it never fails to make me terribly happy, and that, together with your hilarious BizarreNews posts, means that your journal never fails to get a smile going. :D
