It started out with me really liking the way that you thought about things. That's how I first found you, by reading and enjoying your essays. Then I peeked at your journal and found that you were not only intelligent, you were compassionate and mature and a wondeful person. And I love the way that your faith influences your life, because it is very clear that you live your beliefs and have worked through them. I'm still working on that in my own faith life, so at times it is reassuring to know that people outside of my immediate circle of friends/family can do that. I also see you as being one of the few truely wise people I know, even if you don't see it as much yourself.

And then at times you just make me squee with your stories.

Awww.

Squeeage is good.

Seriously - thank you. I'm glad you found my journal.

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

*hugs you* I am as well.

Hallo...

(PS - I love Tubthumpin'. Awesome song.)

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

I can't even count the number of ways in which I love you. You are intelligent and fun to talk to and we can understand each other and connect on several levels and I consider you to be one of my closest friends, even if we have never met in real life. But oh, think of the fun we'll have then.

*bites lip and comments*

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

Aw sweetie, why would you be nervous? How could I not love you? You're creative and exuperant and wonderfully yourself, and you take the time to explain how the heck the Australian school system works and you've always been someone that I love talking with because I know you'll say something that makes me feel ten times better than I was before.

[heylittleriver.livejournal.com]

You just made me tear up a bit. *huggles*

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

*hugs* You made me do the same with your comment, so all's even.

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

We haven't known each other very long, so no pressure, but if you want to I'd love to hear.

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

With you it started out as just being in awe of your intelligence. You're also interesting to talk to, and I love how honest and open you are. Plus you make me think, and I always need to remember to do that. And the way you interact with everything makes me see things in new lights. I enjoy every minute that I spend talking with you.

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

Wow. *is bouncy with squee*

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

*hugs you* It makes me bouncy to do these, so we both win.

[lady-tigerfish.livejournal.com]

*grins* Cuz you know Imma do this one in MY journal

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

*loves you*

I knew I liked you way back in that first week together, when neither of us remembered the other person's name. I knew you would be one of my best friends for the rest of my life then, and I've never regretted knowing you. You are a bright light, and I thank God that I've gotten a chance to know you.

Plus, anyone who can discuss the theory of very small phoenixes and go skipping down the mall and squee higher than a dolphin should always be loved by everyone she meets. You are brilliant and beautiful and you are going to shape the world for the better just by the mere fact of your life.

[lady-tigerfish.livejournal.com]

You're a wonderful human being, but let me praise you properly in my own journal ^^

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

*hugs you in advance*

[truesalcove.livejournal.com]

As you don't really know me yet, can I say why I like you?

So far, you are the only person to friend me after I became a member at H_E. I thought it was wonderfully sweet of you to visit my journal and leave a comment there, instead of just at the actual Community posts. That really made me feel welcome and special! *huggles*

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

Sure, although give me a while and I'll do it back.

There used to have a system where one Puff would take on mentor duties for a new Puff until they figured out the community and felt at home. It went away after the prefect who was running it had to leave the community, but I thought it was a good idea. Plus, it just feels so much better to get welcomed by someone who comes to see you. I had someone do that for me when I was a newbie, I felt it was only fair to pass it onwards.

*hugs back*

[truesalcove.livejournal.com]

That is a great idea. I've already asked quite a few questions about how things worked around the different areas. There is just so much of it and it comes all at once! It's nice to know that you can ask that stuff and there are people to help you figure it out.

And I agree, having someone go out of their way to visit the journal does make it just that much more meaningful. Will have to remember that for the future!

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

I repeat my statement, anything you have problems with, just ask me.

Right now, the main thing is to just get involved. Write a caption, do some of the word scrambles, write a story for one of the challenges, and above all, start joining into the discussions in our house and the main room. It's the best way to get to know everyone.

[truesalcove.livejournal.com]

LOL! I'm loving the contests! I've voted in several, which was a blast. I've done all the scrambles that are up, and should be posting the answers to the passages later tonight. I LOVED it! I even voted twice, though one of them disappeared after I voted... Not exactly sure what happened there. Do they often disappear like that? It's been great fun already.

And yes, be prepared for random questions out of the blue! It WILL happen! hehe,,,

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

For the second voted, do you mean sorted? If so, no, it shouldn't disappear. Check it out again tomorrow, and if it's not there re-vote.

[truesalcove.livejournal.com]

Yes, sorry. I did mean that I sorted twice. What lack of sleep and dealing with 12 year olds between Thanksgiving and Christmas does to me...

I voted for two applications yesterday, I believe. Now, only one of the applications is there. The other application isn't even on the community anymore. I found it rather odd as I didn't expect it to just be gone.

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

The person might have deleted the application for one reason or another. It happens occasionally, especially when they find out that they broke a rule or two on the sorting app, or they've been really squibbed and don't want to hear more.

[truesalcove.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's it. I didn't know you could delete it after you posted it. They probably just knew how it would end up and deleted it. Thanks hon! *huggles*

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I checked and I remember that person got a ton of squib votes. They may have decided that they didn't want to be squibbed, and that they didn't want to deal with the comments.

*hugs back*

Where do I start? Okay, the begining is a logical place. We met on our first day of classes, and we had about five classes together. If I didn't like you, it would be horrible. But I did love you, for your intelligence, your grace, your fabulous sense of who and what you are, for your sense of whimsy and humor, for our ability to argue and debate while never loosing track of the fact that the other person has a valid viewpoint. I love how much you love space, how you dream and then set out to achieve your dreams.

But most of all I love you for being all that you are, and the fact that you know what you are and seem to have accepted it about yourself. It makes you strong, able to be what you are without bowing to the whims of the crowd.

Mom and Dad - or is that too embarrassing?

It could be worse - I could have been the geeky guy.

Dad

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

Mom, hit Dad for me, will you? Geeky guy knows I have a lj, but he doesn't know my username and doesn't plan to start looking.

I love you both because you are my parents and because of who you are as individuals. As my parents, well what can I say aside from the fact that you were the ones who taught me what love is. You have always been there for me, loved me, even when we annoyed the heck out of each other, so it is only natural that I should love you back. You both wanted me to be me, and encouraged me to grow into what I am today.

Mom, I love you as for the way we can understand each other. There is so much that we share, that we can empathize with each other. I've always felt safe telling you everything, from the time I was a little girl to the present day. And it still shocks me when I hear people around me talking about how their mothers don't understand or accept them, because I've never had to worry about that.

Daddy, I love you for the parts that many people don't see at first glance. You can be so intimidating, but then I hear you crack a silly joke or a pun, and you light up. You turn into a pile of mush when you hold a cat, and you let your softer side out. You're never shy or awkward when you interact with people, even a large group of strangers, and seeing you go out and talk with them helps me deal with my normal uncomfortableness when dealing with people I don't know.

*hugs*
