Fandom Snowflake Challenge Day 8

[tjs_whatnot]

Day 8


In your own space, create a love meme for yourself. Let people tell you how amazing and awesome and loveable you really are.

Okay, I have been putting this off for a while now, but I really want to see this challenge to the bitter end and so...

You see, my confidence in these things are not stellar in the best of times, and lately my karma has been spectacularly bad...

But... well, this one time at a con I met a flister who I didn't really know that well at the time, and she said something that has stayed with me for all these years whether she remembers it or not. She said, "I love your journal, it's so effervescent!" That one simple sentence, that one simple word--effervescent--has gotten me through some bad self-esteem-why-am-I-here days.

So, here I am putting it--and my heart--out for you to do with what you want.

you silly goose, you are beloved, don't you know? probably by more fabulous people than me, but for this particular comment, I shall have to suffice. You are KIND. You are CLEVER. You are FUNNY! You are filled with imaginings. (I often marvel at what is going on in that brain of yours. More than I will ever know!) You are appreciative - of fannish things, people, places, art, music, writing, food & drink, critters, the universe. You turned me on to White Collar! You are amazing.
Love, Ven

♥♥ Thank you so much! It's so easy to get caught up in the insignificant of things and existence and all and it's nice to be reminded. I'm a little overcome with the love, so I'll steal my words of devotion to you from someone else... just this once.

I think you know all about the various things I love about you, and how our whatnot bond just gets stronger as time goes on. We have divergent fannish interests, but still the whatnot endures. You like spontaneous road trips while I make reservations and plans, but still the whatnot endures. You are effervescent and full of ridiculosity while I am painful with the earnest, but still the whatnot endures. You voluntarily live in a place that snows - luckily, you can visit me, where the weather is perfect, because even I, with my boundless confidence in the whatnot, would not subject it to the strain of putting me in snow.

Basically, we are two very different peas that manage to live in the same pod. We are very lucky. You make my life better, and I hope I make yours better too.

[tjs_whatnot]

SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!

The Whatnot Endures will be the title of the love song of our life stories! ♥♥♥

And ridiculosity is now my favorite word!


Whatnot Divergent Compatibility Love!!!!!!!!!!

I love your enthusiasm and the way you encourage people to be creative.
I love your stories. The way you spin characters from something that was basically just a name in canon.
I love reading your flaily posts about fandoms. They make me happy.
I love talking to you. I really wish our countries were not so far apart. I'd love to catch up and get drunk and watch White Collar and collaborate on porn *g*
You've helped to make my fandoms fun.

You've always been supportive and appreciative of my creative stuff and it means the world to me.

I adore you.

So much!

You're funny and warm and a prolific and wonderful writer who has their hand in a lot of different fandoms and isn't afraid to try something new. You're also very easy to talk to, as I remember the amount of time I spent talking to you at the Fall Fangirl Meet. You're a good egg TJ and I'm glad to have met you. :)

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I adore you!

[alisanne.livejournal.com]

You are delightful!
I remember chatting with you in the Snarry suite at Misiticon and you were just fun.
And sweet.
And a great conversationalist.
And you write hot stuff, too. ;)

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

Awwww! Thanks! Misticon was a million times better because of you!

You really are effervescent! You're sweet, you have a HUGE heart full of warmth and cheer, and you are full of so much love. <3 You are a fabulous person and I'm honored to know you!!

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

So many years ago when you said that to me in Chicago and it stays with me. <33333333

I adore you!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

eeee I said that? Yay!!! It's sooo true. Reading your journal is always a wonderful proposition. No matter how long your entries are, they feel like a breeze to read. Effortless, awesome reading. ;) And full of love!!

*enormous hugs*

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

Yep. I'm sure I remember it so vividly because I'd never been called that before, or since. I always feared my particular brand of ridiculous wasn't cool, but after that I would think to myself, 'Fuck that! Someone thinks it's effervescent!'

Thank you! And your journal is awesome too! I love watching you evolve and your processes are fascinating. I honestly don't know how you do all you do.

<33333333333

*oh, auto correct.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Rock on with your effervescent self, girl!! You are awesome and you are loved. *hugs*

[harrysmom.livejournal.com]

I think you're a great person! And you are effervesent! :)

You are pretty glowy yourself! I've missed you!

[capitu]

Tam, I could tell you how wonderful you are all day, all my life, and never once repeat myself.

You're incredibly sweet and kind, you're honest and gentle, selfless and warm, and so talented it amazes me every time. I know this in my head, and then I see evidence of this, all of this, again and again I'm awed I got to know you and see you smile, even hug you.

Livejournal, my life!, would never ever be the same if I hadn't met you. You're the best thing that happened to me at Terminus, and I don't tell you nearly enough how much I love you, but I hope you know. ♥

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

♥♥♥

Thank you! I feel the same. I'm a bit speechless and overcome right now... so I'll borrow my words from others:


♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[capitu]

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)

♡♡♡

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

I always enjoy your posts, which are interesting even if they are about things or fandoms I'm not normally interested in, if that makes sense? :)

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

Totally makes sense and I feel the same! I love your rec posts and I always find something new and lovely, even in fandoms I don't usually look in. I should tell you that more often. ♥♥

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Aw man, now you've reminded me that I haven't done a week of recs for such a long time... I've been reading alllllllllll the Harry/Draco fics lately for some reason, and have fics in other fandom to rec too.

[surreal-44.livejournal.com]

You are amazing. I really love your journal, I love reading your thoughts, and I find you entertaining and interesting. And funny. <3 And sweet.

Basically, I just really like you, and I'm so glad that I've had the opportunity to get to know you even a little through your journal. *hugs*

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

No matter what else happens in the White Collar world, I will always be grateful that it brought you and your adorable into my life.

Effervescent describes you perfectly! You're fun and funny and warm and an awesome writer and you flail around with me over cool stuff and you're so great!

FANDOM OF TWO BB ❤❤❤

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!


RIGHT BACK AT YA, SISTAH FRIEND!!

And, ahhhh, speaking of fandom of two--did you see someone wrote Terry and Grady pre-canon story for Yuletide this year?!?! It was mostly Terry but it was pretty awesome!

[drarryxlover.livejournal.com]

Effervescent! I like that. It suits you well.

I always read your posts, even if I don't comment on them. I think you're a wonderful person and quite lovely ♥

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Thank you so much! I think you're pretty wonderful too! And since I just peeked at your journal (for some reason your journal doesn't show up--holy crap! What did LJ do this time! It doesn't list you as a mutual friend! FIXING NOW!) I'm a gonna poke at your Snowflake challenges!

[cookiegirl]

You are awesome! and sweet and friendly and upbeat and a great writer ♥

*hugs*

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

D'awwwww! Thank you!!

♥♥♥

And thankfully I am needy and in constant need of assurances or I wouldn't have come back to read this post and would have missed this comment. *stupid LJ not telling me things*

I adore you!
