memememe, from kake!

Over the last few days there has been a lot of utterly stupid/reactionary/knee jerk bollocks popping up all over fb/twitter and elsewhere. LJ & you lot on the other hand have been bastion of (relative) sanity, rational thought - asking how and why and in general not screaming for blood. Actually THINKING! Well Done!

Plus we could all do with a bit of Cheer and Good Thoughts, so meme, nabbed from Kake -

My friends (i.e. you) are great, and (like many great people) don't appreciate themselves half as much as they deserve. So please (a) leave a comment and I will tell you something I like about you, and/or (b) feel free to reply to someone else's comment to tell them something you like about them.

If you feel up to it, please copy this offer into your own journal and do the same for your own circle of friends — but if you don't feel up to it, then it is absolutely fine not to.


(also, I have another day of proof reading/writing method statements & implementation plans ahead and will desperately need some distraction ;p)

Ooh! Me! :D

ooh ooh. Never been stuck for something to talk about, it's great to hang out with someone who can chat away about just about anything ;) Also, your willingness to spend a part of your weekend away digging up someone else's garden and planting it!

This is harder than it looks, its v. tricky to pick one thing ;)

Oh god where to start with the amazingness that is THIPE. the best pseudo-nephew a girl could have ;)

Your endless willingness to help people in bad times, and boundless creativity, which combine in creating special art to make everything better

Your special gift for SURPRISE HORROR also known as a wonderful generosity, thoughtfulness and knack for selecting the very gift to make me go EEEE or OOO or OMG

And inspiring a probably lifelong wariness of packages ;)

That reminds me, only a few months to Christmas!

Thank you :)

Just think of it as a belated 'birthday/sorry your job got royally shafted gift' when it turns up.

Nothing to worry about! Perfectly innocent gift!

Just... the neighbours might get the wrong idea if they see it.

Or the right idea? Bwahahaha!

Ahem.

Hurrah!

NB this is not a request for a compliment, since you already gave me one :)

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2011-08-11 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
aha but I thought of another one - your capacity for hospitality, making people welcome and cooking tons of tasty noms!

Your determination not to let the migraines stop you getting out and doing things! And how wonderful it is to see you when you do ;)

The overwhelming enthusiasm with which you embrace New Fun Things!

Plus our joint ability to confound on lookers by simultaneously holding 2 entirely separate conversations with each other ;p

I don't usually go in for these but I need my ego stroked today cos I've been stressed. So STROKE, dammit.

Your wicked and twisted sense of humour.

It's never too late for you!
You are a wonderful person and a good friend and made us all feel so very welcome when we came to your house

*voles*

That's the benefit of LJ - one can lay out one's thoughts (assuming there's the time) and engage in debate and discussion.

Mememememe! Please?

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2011-08-15 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You are MADE OF AWESOME. ANd wrong. MOSTLY AWESOME

WROWESOME? AWESONG? Something like that

I did compose a lovely comment in my head the other night about how much empathy and compassion you have for others and how far you'll go to help anyone that needs it, but it won't come out right now

So I will stick with... WRONGSOME? and VOLE.
