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?..

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*

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.

[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!

[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*

[doctoraicha.livejournal.com]

Did you ever get on the plane?

[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.

[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!

[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*

[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.

[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

[etben.livejournal.com]

if this were a real party, I would either be somewhere else entirely, or else I'd be drunk as all hell and making out with people I shouldn't. So, you know, it's probably a good thing this is the internet.

and, you know, friend away—it's all good. (like mrsronweasley! who is shiny and cool! *sloppy drunken e-hugs all around*)

...er. yeah.

[cabari.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, that second part sounds like MY KINDA PARTY! Can we, somehow, involve cheesecake?

[etben.livejournal.com]

...

get me another drink and we'll talk about it.

(with apologies to mrsronweasley for turning her get-together into a drunken revel).

[cabari.livejournal.com]

Let's call it a symposium instead of a drunken revel. It sounds much more classy. With the added benefit that, at the end of the night, we can throw the last of the wine against the wall and call it a game!

Anyway, who DOESN'T love drunken revelry?

[bathsweaver.livejournal.com]

Sooooo. Are you there yet?

;)

[entropical87.livejournal.com]

The sexual kind.

Um... a pinata?

[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*

[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!

[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

[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!

[kajcarter.livejournal.com]

A chocolate fountain?

[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. ♥

[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.

[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?

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! Sloppy drunken kisses! Awesome. I thought I'd felt something wet and cool slapping me all over on the plane yesterday... though maybe I shouldn't have shared that little tidbit, eh?
