The not-a-darkroom-orgy love meme

[kaberett]

Hello everybody!

I know we've just had a string of really big love memes, but a comment floated past on my reading list today and I thought: yes.

In particular, someone was expressing a desire for a "not a darkroom orgy" meme for Valentine's Day: not because they don't intend to participate in the local darkroom, and not because they think there's anything wrong with the darkroom, but just because they'd like a dedicated space for something that isn't quite that. And, well, it can be a rough time of year for people, especially with the message that monogamous heterosexual relationships are the most important kind of relationship, so I think a healthy dose of respect and love might be no bad thing. <3

This post will close to new nominations on the evening (GMT) of Sunday the 17th, but I intend to keep unscreening comments to threads for as long as they come in!

♥ Nominate yourself or someone else, anonymously or logged-in, by putting your/their username in the subject line of a comment to this entry. If you do not know for certain the person's preferred pronouns and they do not list them on their DW profile, please use gender neutral pronouns as a default. Other people can then reply to that comment with goopy declarations of love, reasons that person is awesome, sparkly expressions of admiration, etc! All comments are screened, and I'll unscreen them as they arrive. (So, if your comment doesn't appear right away, please be patient; I'll leave my online status at the bottom of this post to keep people updated on whether I'm unscreening or not.)

♥ If you don't want to be nominated, or don't want comments referring to certain things [body/appearance, wrong pronouns, etc] to appear on your thread, please let me know; I won't unscreen any such comment or nomination. If I make a mistake in unscreening something, if you want a comment to your thread unscreened or deleted, if you have any concerns you need to raise -- please just tell me, and I'll attend to it as soon as I can. If there are any inappropriate comments made to a thread, I will check with the person being referred to before unscreening.

♥ Share the love: please do send people over here (and to your own thread!)

♥ These guidelines are modeled on dingsi's love meme guidelines, with modifications by jjhunter and wording lifted from surpassingly.

♥ That's it -- happy posting!

I've always been nervous of participating in love-memes, because I feel I don't know the culture or etiquette. But this one seems to be full of people I know, so I am tentatively putting my name forward.

You are someone who lights up the lives of those around you. I am in awe of you, and the way you make your faith and ethics and professional life marry up into something quite formidable. Your thoughtfulness on so many issues is remarkable, and I enjoy reading what you have to say - it's always worth pausing to reflect and come back to :).

I love you. For your strength of character, your generosity of soul, your wide-ranging and cogent intelligence, your commitment to learning new things and dedication to contributing positively in so many aspects of your life, your marvellous conversation, and the incredible trust you have shown and joy you have enabled for and shared with me personally. Which is far from a complete summary, but I think as well as I can do in this space and context. *hug*

I so look up to you, and I'm so glad you feel able to participate this time <3

I admire your thoughtfulness in all things. I am grateful to you for challenging me to think, and for being open to new ideas and for introducing me to new books and for your words and your smiles and your generosity. I know I'm lucky to know you. <3

I am enjoying getting to know you better. You were one of the people who I was a little in awe of from old LJ support.

You're a good person to talk to about a lot of things.

When I was trying to make a medical decision last year, you took time out from your very full agenda to look things up and synthesize them for me. It's not just the information, it's that you cared enough to offer, and that you didn't have an agenda or a pre-conceived idea of what choice I should make.

I immensely admire & respect your acuity and thoughtfulness, in all the possible senses of that word.
