Because it's all about the love, baby...

Gakked from [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], the following meme:

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I like/love/adore you. Then put this in your own journal, and spread the love.

Because who doesn't need to be told why they rock?

My ego needs the boost.

You're one of the reasons I'm glad for the XP experience, as up and down as an experience it's been. If not for XP, I wouldn't have started talking to you more and I wouldn't have found you've got a great sense of humour and a deep sense of caring about your friends. Plus, we write really well together.

Um, okay?

[deathpixie]

You're adorable. *grins* You're clever and funny and incredibly talented and I can't wait for the day when you manage to gain the confidence I know you're capable of since you are going to be a pretty incredible individual. Not that you aren't already, but Happy Bounce is my favourite sort. ;) You've also got huge amounts of compassion and care a lot about people, which I'm lucky enough to be included in.

Gimme some love!

[deathpixie]

IceBloke!

*grins* When I think of you I remember long talks in chat about all sorts of things, about the book you sent me, and the incredible hospitality you showed when Gerg and I appeared on your doorstep. You're one of those people I'm incredibly comfortable to be around - we just click, you know?

Oh, and you were a Midnight Nation fan, one of the few and I still love this icon. ;)

After a fabulous me couple of days I'm a bit down too

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

However I know why you think I'm fabulous. It's because of my vegetarian gravy, isn't it?

it's all about the gravy...

[deathpixie]

Yep, that's entirely it. The gravy. ;)

Seriously? Man, it's hard to put into words. Because you're Mel, the one who makes me laugh no matter what state I'm in, one of the few people in the world who I'll talk with for five hours on the phone and not get bored, the person who isn't afraid to call me a doofus but who also knows when it's best to let me vent and get it out of my system. Because you're funny and smart and a hell of a lot of fun to be with and whose writing can make me laugh or make me cry.

That enough? There's more, but it involves Cosmos and smooching. ;)

How exactly does one "eply"?

[deathpixie]

*phbbts* Just fixed that. Damn c/p.

[cocoajava.livejournal.com]

Crikey!

[deathpixie]

Me arm!

[deathpixie]

*grins* Okay, actual answer now. Talking to you at Kielle's wake, I was drawn to your wit, your humour and your easy-going intelligence. We were strangers to each other when we got there, but I left feeling I'd met someone (several someones, actually) who I'd like to get to know better and consider friends. it's hard to put into words, but you're defnitely my sort of people. :)

[obsidian179.livejournal.com]

*obligingly replies* Okay, here I am... ^_^

Oh, btw, I'm updating my Christmas card list (I'll be making a post about it soon), but unlike the others, I'm PRETTY sure the one I had for you isn't valid anymore. ;)

[deathpixie]

You're thoughtful and you do nice things for people, like Christmas cards. *grins*

And yeah, address has definitely changed. I'll email you the new one.

ummm ummmm

[hermitsrme.livejournal.com]

does it count if I have cut it out of someone elses LJ before I got to your LJ entry.

Ah, well, I like your icon, really good.

Re: ummm ummmm

[deathpixie]

*grins* Well, you're someone I've never met or heard from before now, but looking at your LJ, you're an impressive artist.

And thanks re the icon. Saw it on a t-shirt once and thought it was very me, considering the online handle is Rossi...

<3

[farli.livejournal.com]

Yay for egoboo memes~

Re: <3

[deathpixie]

*grins* See, that was my thought. Happy little meme, make some people feel good about themselves...

FarliChilde. :) I had so much fun writing with you, especially the Muse stuff. And you're a great beta with your ability to sniff out plot holes. You're sweet and kind and generous to the point of letting the Australian you've never met before stay at your house for ten days.

[seraangel.livejournal.com]

*grins* Could use being told why I'm wonderful right now. ;)

[deathpixie]

Because you're my RaphieSis. *grins* You're the younger sister I never had, who makes me laugh and gives me fairy floss to see the ensuing sugar high. You've got a wonderful zany sense of humour and a core of determination that's hugely admirable - when you fix your mind on something, you do it. You might not trust people generally, but when you decide someone's one of yours, you'll do anything for them. It makes your friendship something of a privilege.

[trishalynn.livejournal.com]

Me! ME!

[deathpixie]

You're fun to be with and incredibly generous (driving me all over LA several times comes to mind...) and you're not afraid to do what it takes to get your life in order, such as moving cross-country. There's also the breakup stuff - a bad thing to have in common, but it helped, hugely.

[frito-kal.livejournal.com]

Hrm.

1. Social anxiety? Check.
2. Need to have my ego reinforced on a regular basis? Check.
3. Not nearly enough tea yet this morning because I just got out of the shower and I feel hung over despite not having anything to drink? Check.

Go for it!

[deathpixie]

I'll always be grateful for the lift from Toronto to Baltimore, not just 'cause it saved us on busfare but because it gave me the chance to talk to you more than I ever had. Another person whose humour makes me laugh and who I enjoy being around. I also think you're a great writer - logging with you has always been fun and I'm going to miss the relationship between our two girls.

[indiana-j.livejournal.com]

Ohh, hit me! ;)

*SMACK!*

[deathpixie]

No, wait, different sort of hitting. ;)

Another reason for why I'm glad of XP - we'd talked before, but not a huge amount, and over the last two years of the game I've gotten to know you in your own right, not just as one of the Vortex. ;) And I'm very glad I have, since you're definitely one of 'my' people. You've talked sense into me when things have been getting to me on more than one occasion and you've made me laugh out loud on the work computer more than once. I love the way you write, especially the Kaylee and Wash fics, and I think you're just adorable. It's been great, seeing you gain your confidence over the last few years.

[technophobia.livejournal.com]

Go for it. :)

[deathpixie]

You're a sweet guy who gives great shoulder rubs and isn't afraid to dance. You also are doing an incredibly brave thing right now, moving across the country away from your support network, but I think it'll pay off, not just in terms of the job but in terms of helping you build the confidence you need. It's not easy, but you're doing it, and that's admirable.

[qodarkness.livejournal.com]

Well, you're my mind-melded twin sister. There'd be some kind of weird self-esteem issue going on if you didn't think I rocked when we finish each other's sentences *g*.

If, however, you wish to cheer me up on a rather crappy evening, you go for it :).

A

[deathpixie]

*grins* Well, there is the whole mind-melding thing, yeah.

You? Are incredible. You're one of the people I admire hugely, because there's so much about you I wish I was. You know what you want and you do what's necessary to get it and you speak your mind, but you have empathy and compassion and a great love for your friends. You're strong, you're willing to try new things and you love rock climbing and cycling as much as I do. :) You're one of my touchstone people, mate, and I miss you like crazy.
