” ….. er, he has a car!”
Reply here, and I’ll tell you some stuff I think is awesome about you.
Maybe I’ll number or outline it, and maybe I’ll be serious, but you really can’t rely on these things. I may use photoshop, or equations, you won’t know until you try me. :)
If you think it’s fun, repost at will – consider this a mutant meme, and put your own spin on it!
*poke*
1. Your band names are so fucking hilarious, it makes me forget how twitterIM generally pisses the hell out of me because I think someone wants to talk to -me-, but it’s not true.
2. Your icon has a futuristic visual display. The world will only be made right when we can buy such things. On clearance.
3. You were always very nice to me on XBL, despite me being a pretty shitty multiplayer. :)
3. I’m not one to talk when it comes to shitty multiplaying. :)
Reply!
You like TMBG! That is very awesome.
You post real thoughts. Not simply your day-to-day, but you use your journal for processing, and in between your movie reviews you say things like your post about the guy in the spongebob boxers that make me thoughtful.
You have a C&H icon, which I am all thumbs about.
karinny!
You, more than most people I can think of, share your things and time whenever possible. You’re never worried about who ‘owns’ what, sharing what you’ve got, and it makes it easy to share things with you, too. ‘cept that lip balm you totally ganked. Hehehe …
You’re comfortable in your own skin – and not because you were just ‘born’ that way, or just because you were raised to be that way – you’ve struggled with your body confidence, and found an admirable place.
You’re silly in a very joyful way that I love.
wait…. this could explain the random lip balm that appeared in my bathroom a while back. hmmmmm.
sorry about that!
*mystery solved*
Butter me up, big guy.
Your sarcastic and dry sense of humor is beautifully offset by your contemplative and often freely vulnerable nature (which I admit I have seen more online than in person).
You try to be honest about yourself, both to others and to yourself. The post you made the other day where you acknowledged some of the more difficult comments made to you was really brave.
You’re loyal to your friends, and give good hug. :)
Aw, thank you!
It’s a lot easier to be vulnerable in text than in person. In person I have a hard enough time communicating what’s going on in my head, nevermind trying to allow people to see that I’m vulnerable.
I deeply regret those moments where I am being a shitty person. I don’t ever mean to be hurtful, it just happens sometimes. And I am enough of an intimidating person that those are the moments that seem to get etched on to other people’s memory forever.
Yeah, I could use the ego stroke today as well. C’mon, one Scott to another!
You’re tough, because we’ve spent very little time in conversation together, but I’m game!
You were warm and friendly to me from the moment we met. I can’t say how much I appreciate it, or how rare it is to meet people who automatically seem to assume you’re a good guy, right off the bat.
Also, I really appreciate other big guys who aren’t afraid to wear giant exclamation points, and be otherwise silly.
Me!
You’re easy! (hey wait, that wasn’t one of the items … was it?)
The first time I met you, you were giving me a piece of hardware. To say we barely knew each other is a massive understatement – you were just being nice.
The second time we met, you were driving me to the airport (right?). I mean, how cool is that?
Basically, every time we’ve ever hung out, you’ve either given me something or helped me out in some way. This, despite our generally infrequent IM conversations. Saying that you’re an awesome person for no reason at all is cake. :)
Although I don’t remember driving you to the airport, I may well have done so. I drive a lot of people to airports. It’s kind of fun. :) I think the second time we actually met was me offloading a desk on you. :)
See what I mean?
*raising hand*
I can use all teh chocolately goodness I can get.
You’re a little difficult, because we’ve just met, but clearly your form of repartee is ideal when mixed with Resk’s, and I can definitely appreciate such wit.
Also, I saw what you did, verbally speaking, to help him out of a family bind, and that’s totally awesome – just a couple of words helped defuse trouble. That’s the kind of person I look forward to meeting!
You like firefly and BSG which is clearly cool (even if I didn’t see you at the Serenity showing!). ;)
you know, I am cranky today, so hit me
You have a singing voice I much enjoy, and your ILB song still makes me smile when it randomly pops up.
You can be a crankipants without making a big dramatic “let’s be enemies!” deal about it.
You write beautiful, insightful, sometimes painful commentary on your own life and frustrations that make livejournal worth reading.
You are incredibly funny in a group environment like XBL, and I was always envious when I’d miss a halo evening because of your repartee.
I really enjoyed our conversation at the pizza shop when I was in town last winter. It was the only time (I can think of) where we’ve had one-on-one conversation, and it was really nice to get to know you that way.
I like hearing your insights on gaming, socializing, performing, and living in “the real world”.
Your incredible photos that you seem to just take off-the-cuff often worm their way into me heart. As someone who is always behind the lens, I much appreciate them.
*waves*
Your laugh is charming, and hearing you shout “Skennedy!” when I enter a room always brightens my day.
Watching you coordinate two hands worth of handbells with the rest of a choir is very impressive, and your smile when you’re hard at work is cute, too.
It’s ALL YOUR FAULT I GOT STUCK ON WIKI FOR THREE HOURS! And I’ve read a hell of a lot more about the Star Wars Universe. I guess I can’t complain. ;)
Your clear ability to respect the beliefs and lives of others and to encourage them to be happy in their own way, even when it very much is not yours, gives me hope for humanity as a whole. Stop rolling your eyes or I’ll tickle you breathless.
1. Skennedy!!! :D
2. Smiling is the easy part, and I wish it came as easily to my fellow ringers.
3. Not just any wiki, mind you – WOOKIEEPEDIA!! Mwahahaha!!! Mine is an evil laugh.
4. Aw, thanks sweetie. *hugs*
Hey! I know you!
I know you, too! Small world. :)
I have cookies!
Ah, fuck.
I’ve always enjoyed the photos and videos that you post.
I really appreciate the way you’ve expressed your fears and asked for advice in a way that I think is really brave.
Does being cute fall under “awesomeness”?
I love hearing about how you care for your horses, and the cute and silly things that happen to you during the day – your life is really different from mine, and it’s nice to get a different perspective from you.
don’t think you have much on me, but hey…let’s see what ya got
I really enjoy seeing you show your obvious care for Cat. People willing to be mentors and friends to others who are far out of their age group seems to be pretty rare these days, outside of school environments; as a guy without children, it’s just cool to think I might be able to do that for someone else some day, too.
I like the way you’re passionate/fanatical about your music. Clearly, your career would be difficult without it, but there -are- plenty of DJ’s who don’t really give a damn about the music they play.
I like that you’re not, at all, afraid to be silly, to have fun, to experience a little joy, regardless of what other people might think. That’s hard to hold onto, as an adult male, and I respect it.
Wow…thank you for the kind words!
Since this is something I’ve been trying to get good at anyway, even without Rob’s poking, I’ll have some, please.
I like the way you use small things, letters, gifts, and time to let someone know you appreciate them.
I like the way you’ve always got a hug ready. :)
I really like the way you find pleasure in inspiring others, and the patience you show with your sister.
Me me me meme! Hehe.
Leslie, you are both whip-smart and refreshingly honest, and that’s hard to find in someone who can also be comfortable and laid back.
I think you’re just fabulous, fun to talk to, a great flirt, and a generally cool human being. :)
…of DOOM!
YOU, sir, have an impeccable taste in the color black. Also, you’re kind, with a great sense of humor, and excellent taste in interior decorators. *grin*
Oh hey, it’s me-in-icon-form! Makes me smile every time.
You are friendly and kind, and terribly cute.
You’re tremendous fun when it comes to dancing, and even taught me a few things.
I love that you went on your recent international biking trip – I’ve never heard of anything at all like that, it’s tres cool.
I think it’s really cool that you keep getting back up onto ‘that horse’, whatever it may be.
ok
You’re clearly the most skilled hugger I have ever faced – I bow to your might.
You ask questions that other people do not, questions without easy answers, or sometimes questions with no answers at all.
You embark on adventures without necessarily knowing where you will stay or when (sometimes how) you will return.
As I think about all of the times I’ve hung out with you since I first met you, the one that sticks out most was dropping you off in someone’s back yard in F. Hills. You’ve put yourself in some lonely places in order to accomplish your goals, places I don’t think most people (including myself) could persevere through.
*hugs*
You accomplish great things for the causes you believe in, and I always remember fondly our conversation evening at Denny’s with Jessica.
You push through difficult times, and make difficult and risky decisons, when necessary.
You have excellent anime taste, and are a great instructor for the flirting panel. :)
yeah…uhm…me too. please.
Your degree is centered around wanting to help other people feel and live better, and you’ve spent years perfecting your art, creating products to solve problems in the lives of others.
You write with depth, using words for any purpose you can dream up, as complex or simple as necessary, with one meaning or ten.
You make beautiful art.
You have a warm hand, and you share it.
You are awesome for providing me with inspiration when I needed it most, in words, actions, and music. You reminded me of the best parts of others, and the parts of myself I had forgotten. Though you have done this many times, there is one I will never forget.
Ha. Try a *real* challenge. Redeeming features thin on the ground in land of the Leewit.
You use your vocabulary in a way completely unlike anyone I have ever personally known. Sometimes dry, sometimes sarcastic, and sometimes extremely self-deprecating, it always has some kernel of wit, and the charm of one who treasures individual words, the sound of them as well as the meaning.
*utterly charmed*
Doing it backwards
(sorry about the first one, my girlfriend was logged in on my computer)
Thinking of you always sparks an all-over warm happy feeling for me.
I love your LJ posts; they either inform, entertain, provoke deep thoughts, or a nice combo of the above.
You always have a ready kind word or warm shoulder for loved ones near and far.
You understand more than many about people in general, and what’s really important, and love, and life. It’s fun to watch you shine.
(
She’s cute, as I’m sure you know. :)
Also,
*pink blush*
More than anyone I know, you seem most at home with your merits and flaws, even as you strive for improvement. I highly respect your ability to see yourself on those days you are feeling least rational and use coping mechanisms to make things better.
I think it’s awesome that you’re doing this meme.
*grins* Your purple fucking hair was priceless, and your flirty demeanor makes me feel cute.
You were always friendly to me, even when you didn’t know what to make of me, when I’d come visit Anne.
You make great conversation for those long nights at Denny’s, both light-hearted and thought provoking.
I always thought of it as fucking purple hair, not purple fucking hair. But whatever. :)
do me do me.
You’ve poured your heart out time and again, and I’ve watched you fight your way out of the bitter depths of despair more than once. Every time I see you with a little more self-confidence, it pleases me greatly. I’m so glad things are going better for you now than they were.
You’ve got one of the most sarcastic wits I know, which can be used for good or devious purposes.
You were totally cool when it came to helping lucy and I get boxes for her move.
*pulls lever*
Dude, you’re too easy. (wait, I wasn’t starting yet… or was I?)
You’ve gone through great personal growth, maintaining a core set of beliefs that you can (and do) live by while allowing other parts of you change as they are necessary.
You’re clearly a networking rock star, and I mean that in the technological and social sense.
You have a totally engaging sense of humor, and you immediately disarm people with your jovial self-effacement, turning even the lamest barb into a hilarious come-back. Your inneffectualness is a complete and utter front. It’s a trick, a set-up for your global domination.
You’re straight-forward. You mean what you say, when you aren’t being terribly ironic or goofy. And you’re willing to share those parts of you that you don’t necessarily find flattering, which I think makes you a much more human human than most people.
You like my favorite train station, and believe in Detroit, even when no one else (including me) does. That’s impressive faith.
Oh, and you have a car.
… Wait a second. You don’t have a car anymore. Gasp! Call up Cheryl, she needs to come up with a new Skippy Compliment!
Oh, tell me, I want to feel awesome! Hee ^^
You have a beautiful style, elaborate and flowing, with intense words that burst forth with imagery. Even in your typical daily conversation.
You’ve been uncommonly friendly and giving, in my experience, both in taking me to the airport when you didn’t at all know me, and in your everyday interaction.
You make brave choices for the sake of your passions, including moving around the world for your love.
Oh go on then :)
I love your photography. I could gush about it all day, and that is NOT typical of me – I’m a picky photography bitch. I don’t follow anyone’s 365, but I keep going back to flickr to see yours.
Also, you have excellent taste in video games and ARGs. *grin* Clearly.
You have a charming sense of humor that makes me wish for a teleporter, as I imagine great conversation (fun, lively, interesting) would ensue. It’s not over-the-top, it’s just fun.
You have great, expressive eyes, especially coupled with that sometimes-enigmatic smile.
Aw, thank you so much! *giggles coyly*
Can I play too? BTW, I think yer pretty damn awesome yerself!
You’ve always been incredibly friendly, warm, and caring to me, even when you more-or-less had no idea who I am :)
You were even kinder when we met (you know, that -one- time, hehe).
You’re wonderfully playful, and flirty fun to boot!
me me me me!
You totally want a crunchy snickers, and will do anything to get it!
Also, you have a great sense of humor, and a fun laugh.
Also, you have your own style (much like Trase does), and it’s fun to see what you’ve put together on a given day.
You look like an incredibly petite and vegetarian bull, with your nifty nose piercing, and that could be no less than awesome.
You also put words and suffixes together in amazing new ways that always make me laugh-atraz.
thanks!
awwwwes *blush* you’re so sweet :)
Wheel of Tribute, turn turn turn!
Why not!
(okay, just did a double take on that particular icon of yours… to realize that now I recognize all of the faces in there, even if I’ve still only met two of ’em…)
Hit me, then I’ll return the favor. ;-)
Re: Wheel of Tribute, turn turn turn!
Well, the first time I met you, you put on a girl’s bathing suit and modeled for us. How awesome is that?
Later, you let me borrow Firefly for a year (we’ll just pretend you knew that going in), and gave me delicious strawberry jam.
You have a sort of punny sense of humor that I think fits solidly with mine, which ends up leading to terribly goofy evenings.
You’re not afraid of hugs.
I think of the pleasure you clearly had in cooking/prepping for us at‘s the other day, and I think that kind of joy in hospitality is very cool.
Re: Wheel of Tribute, turn turn turn!
I’m always curious how other people perceive me, I’ll admit. There ain’t no such thing as a ‘Personality Mirror’, save your friends. That said:
You have a dogged love of debate and discussion that intrigues me, as I find that you’re always taking things in interesting directions.
Yes, your sense of humor and mine should join together in Voltron-style and make the super-robot Pundasaur! People would quake in their boots from laughing so hard, as we entertained them all! Or else need to wear neck braces from shaking their heads sadly… not certain which.
You’re a very able, eager and quick learner.
I think your musical tastes are as broad and encompassing as mine, so there’s always something interesting to listen to and talk about.
Hi. Can I be awesome, too?
You need no help to be awesome, just someone to remind you. :)
You have one of my favorite senses of humor – you can take even the most cynically bitter statement and make it hilarious, often at your own expense. I think if you started an advertising-funded blog on any popular topic, you would totally make a profit.
I love the fact that you dance for me and gleefully sing about breaking people’s fingers to splinters when we go to Leo’s. I totally miss it when I’m there without you!
You have impeccable geek taste. Your subcultural references are without peer, and are a delightful challenge to keep up with.
Your skills at two-handed Air Hockey need no mention. You’re welcome.
For an incurable hermit, you have a way of showing you care in innocuous ways that leave you no less invulnerable, but are still sweet. Er, whatever that means.
Oh shit, did I mention fucking Trogdor? Well, erm, I mean, making Trogdor from scratch, not actually fucking him; that sounds kind of painful and yet probably worth it strictly for coolness points.
I thought you were awesome from the day we met, and haven’t been proven wrong yet. So, you’d better watch it! ;)
You are very nice. Thank you.
eh, sure. why not
You tend to present yourself as a hard-ass, which is totally belied by the way you clearly adore your pets, caring for them so greatly even though they can only live for a short while. It’s endearing to see you open up that way.
You have very unique taste, being the only girl I know who has the hots for Chaplin and Mr. Keaton. :) Your posts about what you’re reading/watching always introduce me to someone I hadn’t heard of before.
i am NOT a hard-ass. my ass is quite soft actually
I’m game.
Though a little concerned it will end with admonishments… :grin:
DON’T KILL YOURSELF WITH AWESOME! There, now you can relax.
Your latest degree is entirely so you can help others communicate and live happier lives, and it has been an amazing process, watching you pull to you a sense of purpose to that effect.
You have a great sense of humor, are very loyal, and often make me feel better about myself (on purpose!).
You’ve raised two very large animals to be friendly and obedient where it counts. You’ve passed the secret test, which means you get to have kids, if you want, someday. Congrats! :D
