I will never ever learn.

Why do I keep doing this to myself? I'm at JFK, waiting for another (two-hour delayed now) JetBlue flight. Rotten bastards. And I don't care that I'm using their - OMGFREE! - wireless network. I'd rather have been doing it from my HOUSE. In BOSTON.

Anyway. To change the topic abruptly, I'm curious. In the past few weeks, I've had quite a few people friend me and I suddenly got suspicious curious as to why. I'm all over it! I'm just...not that fascinating?..

So, um, hello new people! Tell me why you're here? Feel free to introduce yourselves - it'll be like a party. I'm just really curious!

And hey, if you're not so new, feel free to do the same thing. Again - it'll be like a party.

Or something.

While I wait for my plane. Which is supposed to depart at 6:10 now (was scheduled for 4:20, of course - we know somebody's been taking advantage) and it's 2 minutes to 6 and I'm still not on the plane (but sneezing my ass off). So.

Hello. Talk to me?..

Comments

[lilac-one.livejournal.com]

Hi. I'm Clueless. I friended you because I loved your DS fic and your comments on my other friends' posts were really interesting. Your love of Ray and your view of the DS characters in general were so similar to my own I got the feeling we may possibly share a brain.

Once I got to know you, I kind of fell crazy in love with you. In a non-dangerous, sane, unstalkery way. After you wrote me M!S!F!, well, now I think the only way to get rid of me is to kill well, defriend me, I guess.

I was driving down the street today and saw a random penguin sculpture. I thought of you.

*hugs you tight, in a non-threatening way*

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Hi. I love you. Your message made me so very happy yesterday, on a day when few things could make me happy.

Please. Feel free to stalk me anytime you want. In fact, I won't press ANY charges if you just show up at my house one of these days. Instead, I will gather you up, sit you down, bring you booze and food, and watch lots and lots of Canadian porn TV with you. For, like, ever.

*CLINGS WITH LOVE*

P.S. Was the penguin next to the mirrored turtle, by any chance? 'Cause that would make my life, I think. ♥

[cabari.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm Allison, and I frended you because you have a nice ass. All the other fangirly stuff was just a coverup.

I am completely open to this "party" of yours, and am wondering what sort of favors I should be bringing.

[entropical87.livejournal.com]

The sexual kind.

Um... a pinata?

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Hi, I KNEW IT! You just love me for my body. *sniff* And this whole time, I thought our friendship was pure!

*gropes your gorgeous breasts*

And then you start a SYMPOSIUM on my LJ, and how can I not love you after that, forever and ever and ever?

Now get nekkid.

[etben.livejournal.com]

Hello! I'm not sure why I friended you—for that matter, I'm not entirely sure when, so I may not come under the heading of 'new people'—but it probably had something to do with due South. Because everything has to do with due South, right? Except for those things that have to do with other TV shows. Or sex, but, again: see due South.

yes. basically? It was totally the boot porn.

I am Marie! Or etben! Or "that girl who likes inappropriate crossovers way, way too much." And I bounce around and flail a lot and am generally a spazz in a hat. I am prickly, and my world is made of rocks. I have little to no redeeming social value.

Hi!

[jamethiel]

You know what? As I am the first person on here interacting with the OTHER PEOPLE, just like a real party (except, you know, not, because if it was a real party I would be the very large lump hiding behind one of the curtains) I declare myself WINNAH!!

Um, hi. That was a really funny comment, I like hats, no redeeming social value is good and I liked your porn. (Really, really, really liked. If I could come up with a superlative other than really, I'd use it. But hey, no caffeine, so really is all you're getting)

I'm friending you, btw.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Hi Marie! I once had a huge, sad crush on a girl named Marie. See, these are the sorts of things that pop into my head very early in the morning.

She wasn't very fannish, though, so I'm guessing you're not her. :D

Or sex, but, again: see due South.

Precisely! All roads lead to Canada, and all that. Mmm. Canada.

So, um, welcome! Who needs redeeming social value, anyway?

[missapocalyptic.livejournal.com]

You're fishing for compliments, aren't you...? ;)

However, here are my reasons:

- You like dS
- You like porn
- You write fantastic, amazing, scorchingly hot porn
- Your fangirling is the best EVER!!!
- You're an incredibly talented writer
- The name of your journal totally makes my day. Every day.

So, HI! *beams*

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Oh, totally. It's my goal in life. *g*

But, um, hi! Thank you so much! Porn is fun, right? Porn brings people together. Porn - the other white meat. And so on.

And, you know, the name of my journal kind of makes my day, every day, too. I mean...yeah. Oh, Oliver. ♥

Hello! :D

[doctoraicha.livejournal.com]

Did you ever get on the plane?

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Yes. Very soon after posting. And THEN I waited more. Tell me never to do this again. I got seduced by the "35-minutes flight". YEAH RIGHT.

[jamethiel]

Um, I think I already did the drunken introduction thing.

So this is the "uncaffeinated introduction" thing, which is way more scary. On alcohol, I am funny and giggly and affectionate. I also have languid arms (of the noodly variety) and discuss Aeschylus at great length. On lack of caffeine? REALLY, REALLY grumpy. And possibly non-verbal.

And yes. It was the fic. Specifically "The distances between". Which made me cry and then re-read it about 50 times. Then I saw that you have a livejournal and I might possibly get MORE fic, and SOONER! So I friended you.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Yeah, uncaffienated me can be frightening, too, so I totally understand your conundrum. But so far, both versions of you are not scaring me, so good, right? Aeschylus? Feel free. :D

I'm sorry I made you cry. But it made it better, right?.. Right?.. 'Cause...they're our BOYS. They can't be apart, that's just sad... And, um, yay. Thank you. *blushes and runs away*

[icarion.livejournal.com]

Hello! I friended you because of the DS fic (especially the porn), your other insightful DS posts, and did I mention the porn? Cos that's really great :) Also here's some more love for your journal title!

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Man, I really think porn (GOOD porn, not scary porn) is what will bring about world peace. People will be too busy wanking to make wars! \o/ So, um, yay! Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the porn. :D And here's more love for your icon. Oh, Ray! ♥

[cold-poet.livejournal.com]

I always love it when you pop up in comment threads because you are terribly funny and wicked cool. And then you made the post about CKR's really really awful hair, and how you love him anyway, and I was so right there with everything you said and had a moment of "Huh. Why haven't I friended her yet?"

And since I couldn't come up with a reason other than "because I'm an idiot." I did. *g*

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you. :P I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who was very taken with Callum despite the god-awful hair. He's just so...CALLUM. Yeah. But I think I already covered that, ten-fold. So, thank you! And welcome and all that. :D

[marauderthesn.livejournal.com]

I'm not new, but I don't remember talking to you - I friended you because you're both a Sirius/Remus shipper and an ASTB fan. :D

Straight as a rush!

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Hi! It's hard not being an ASTB fan. Or, at least, it's hard for me. :P You know, I have a rec for you! Since you love ASTB so much - and I have noticed that you do, very much - you might really enjoy "The First Verse" by Barry McCrea. Takes place in modern Dublin (MODERN - 2004!), and the main character is a gay Trinity student who gets...well, let's say, interested in/obssessed by a literary kind of cult... I'm almost halfway through, and loving it. And it's modern Dublin - the one I know and love. It's lovely. :)

[bathsweaver.livejournal.com]

Sooooo. Are you there yet?

;)

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

I was when I read your comment. *g* I got home at 10. SIGH. SIGH.

[entropical87.livejournal.com]

Hi. I'm Ashley and I love to spam you. I... no longer remember exactly why I friended you, but I suspect it's 'cause you're wicked awesome. That, and the porn. (Yay, porn!) Also, because you're hot.

*stalks you*

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

I love it when you spam me. :D (Yay porn!) I actually don't remember when you friended me, either, but I suspect that's a good thing, because it's all, 'hey, that was a weird time before, eh?'

*flashes her hot*

*runs away*

[slidellra.livejournal.com]

I used to read a lot of porn (like literotica and nifty type porn). Then I read some due South porn/fic. And I thought, "Hey, this stuff is cooler than usual porn, because the characters are neat and you can read lots of porn (and interesting fic that isn't necessarily porny) with the same characters." That was pleasing, because characterization in porn is usually very, very bad.

So I started reading a lot of due South porn/fic (I later learned this behavior was known as "lurking"). Eventually I decided to join lj and see if I could participate in this neat DS fic/porn universe. Once I did I immediately friended a bunch of people whose fic I'd enjoyed (that's where friending you comes in) so I could a) see how their neat, shiny brains worked, and b) read their fic as soon as possible.

Then it totally took over my brain.

Hi! I'm slidellra. Am very newbie, lj freaks me out, but I like fic and porn and DS very much. And your letter to Paul Gross and your love of Callum despite his Very Bad Hair are two of the most pleasing things in my new lj universe.

Hope you had a nice flight!

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Hello! You wrote fisting!

(I bet you don't get a lot of introductions like that, right?)

I totally meant to comment and failed, but I loved your Ray and the fic made me laugh and, well, it was so adorable and hot... so, hello!

That was pleasing, because characterization in porn is usually very, very bad.

YES! Oh my God, that is so true, it makes me cry. But in fandom? People KNOW how to give good porn. (So much hot porn that works. I just love it.) So, welcome! Enjoy the porn (and non-porn, of course).

And, um, I'm glad that my offer to blow Paul amused people. Really. Not at all embarrassed in the slightest. /lying through my teeth

Oh, PAUL. ♥

(Thank you! It sucked, but it's over now, yay!)

[airinshaw.livejournal.com]

*dances into your journal*

*waves* I'm Vonnie and I'm an alco...no, wait, wrong place. Ahem. I'm Vonnie and I friended you for a whole heap of reasons that have been lost to the LJ Gods as it was so long ago. It probably had something to do with you sounding cool because that's usually why I friend people.

I keep you around basically because around, oh, say, the first time I met you? I fell completely and hopelessly in love with you. Plus then every time I see you again you convince me that no, THIS is the most I can love her...then I see you again and the bar gets raised even more.

*licks you* So - hopefully flightness was ok. x

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Hi, I love that you and Alli did this, even though I've known you both for years. HI VONNIE HI HI HI I MISS YOU.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, and yeah, that's pretty much how I feel about you. So it works! *CLINGS LIEK WHOA*

*licks all over*

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

*waves* I'm Primrose and I've (virtually) seen you around HP and dS fandom-type things. You've got great love for things fandom, so yay!

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Hi! HP, really? That must have been a while back. *g* But, I do, indeed, have great love for fandom. Sometimes, in a very sick way, but...don't we all? :P

[flobberchops.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm flobberchops. I can't remember when I friended you, but I do remember why. I kept coming across your posts via other friends and I always enjoyed your view of the world.

Then after a few weeks (my brain can kinda take a while to kick into gear at times), I realised that if I friended you, I wouldn't have to go looking, the posts would come to me.

Yaay for my slow but eventually working brain.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Hello there! I'm very flattered by this, thank you. :D And the posts, they do come. I tend to post in bursts... every day... I can't seem to shut the hell up! That can be a problem, I find... :P

[alpheratz.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm Masha and I love you for your shiny, shiny hair. (I mean that metaphorically. It's not actually shiny as in Snape!shiny.)

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm Lizka, and you're adorable. And have shiny, shiny hair, as well. It's all so pretty! *pets your shiny, healthy hair* :D

[woo2step.livejournal.com]

You have icons where Paul Gross is naked and Callum wants me to blow him.

ALSO, I see you around my corner of dS fandom constantly, and people of whom I'm very fond are very fond of you. There's the thing where I find you interesting and amusing, too, so that helped a little in my decision-making process. But it was mostly Callum wanting blowjobs.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

I have a naked Callum icon, too. Look! Mmm. Yeah.

I kept seeing you, too! On Joan's journal, among others, for instance. So, I'm glad we found each other. *g* Thank you. And, well, you can blow Callum anytime. I mean, he's constantly asking.

[ruthless1.livejournal.com]

Hi - I'm ruthless1 and I posted the answer on the WRONG thread.
*hangs head in shame*
I like your writing and your passion for Paul and Callum. I do think it probably surpasses mine but I am catching up. I am newish to ds and still trying to catch up on all the great old fics out there and very much looking forward to reading your newer (boot) fics. I am also the last pictureless lj'er out there.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Hi, that is TOTALLY fine! *g*

My passion of both Paul and Callum is... well, it could be considered bordering on unhealthy. Maybe. I like to think it hasn't reached that point yet, but if Paul continues being this fucking brilliant, I will have no choice. *sigh*

Aaaaand thank you. :) And I hope you enjoy the boot porn. Mm. Leather. Boots. Mmm, yeah. I...don't have a kink, why do you ask?..

(See, being pictureless gives you CHARACTER. But icons are fun. *eyes her 115* Yeah.)

[stereo-m.livejournal.com]

I have NO IDEA! But it's all good, you're ok. ;)

Thanks for your comment on the P entry, my keyboard caught fire and the keyes fell off and my screen cracked and I broke all my fingers and went blind, so, you see, I couldn't reply to your comment. *nods*

And, uh, stay away from airports. Unless you're going to Europe.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

You're adorable. I hope your keyboard has recovered, as well as your fingers and eyes. Doing all right? Good. *g*

I wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish! *cries* I miss you. :(
