It love memes, it love memes not... it love memes.

[kaberett]

Today I have been doing my counselling homework (self-suggested; inspired by J.J.): namely, putting together a book full of lovely things people have said -- some of them about me, some of them more general. I am currently running through all the love memes I can find - thank you, so much, to everyone who's hosted; to everyone who's indexed; and to everyone who's commented. You've put together a vision of me I want to live up to, and - you've laid out some of the tools I'll need to do it. Thank you, every one of you, and here's perhaps a more tangible version of that thanks:

Love meme

♥ 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: by all means send your friends here too.

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

I don't know you at all, but having had a quick gander at your profile you seem proper awesome (as though your username wasn't hint enough!) and I am really, really glad you've rocked up here. <3

Meeeeeeee I always nominate myself for these things. ^^;;;;

Re: littlebutfierce

[kaberett]

I am so overwhelmingly delighted to be getting to know you - your writing is beautiful, in your journal & out of it, and you are just all-round SUCH an awesome person, who I kept hearing of as amazing long before I plucked up the courage to actually talk to you. Thank you for making spaces for people like us. <3

surpassingly

[littlebutfierce]

Such a bright heart -- wishing you so many good things. ♥

Re: surpassingly

[kaberett]

I am astonished by the way that it seems that everything you touch is imbued with beauty. Thank you, so so much, for existing and for talking and for, I suppose, being a beacon. <3

dingsi

[dingsi]

I'm going through a "why are you even on the internet" phase, so pick-me-uppers and reassurance of usefulness would be much appreciated.

Re: dingsi

[kaberett]

dingsi is astonishing and wonderful and writes in ways that make my heart & my breath catch; in ways that give me permission to care for myself. dingsi, if I ever do half as good a job as you at making people feel that there is space for them, & that there is a place for them to simply be, I will consider myself to be doing really rather well. <3

Re: pipisafoat

[kaberett]

I think I first became aware of you because of the genderqueer FONSFAQ, and I have been gently in awe of you ever since.

flippac

excellent late-night company, permanent willingness to faff statistics at me, hurrah for conversation & fannishness.

marina

[littlebutfierce]

I am so in awe of marina's brain! Fiercely, hilariously intelligent & interesting. I'm glad we got to hang out when you were over here!

Re: marina

Marina is great fun and one of the most interesting people I know.

You are such a powerhouse! You make me laugh really hard sometimes but you are also super-smart & sharp & anyone who doesn't fear you TOTALLY SHOULD.

Re: dreamatdrew

Drew is a mightily good person and always helpful in explaining things that need explaining without seeming condescending.

exchangediary

[littlebutfierce]

Your writing is so poignant; the things you notice & the way you phrase them are always worth reading. I love your enthusiasm for music (& knowledge of! & willingness to share recs!) & your smart, critical stance on everything from YA to body politics to zines.

kake

[kake]

I am not sure whether I should ask for love or not, but I'm going to be brave and say "yes please, someone be nice to me?"

Re: kake

[kaberett]

You inspire me to cook and to create and to invest in my communities, and to see my cities afresh; and I am so in awe of your capacity for self-care and for understanding of others.

[kaberett]

Oh, but you are brave! Thank you for self-nominating - I've still never dared to! <3

And you are learned and you are thoughtful; I've been told over and over that I've a great capacity for self-reflection and self-awareness, and, well, even so I'd quite like to be you when I grow up :-) I really, really enjoy talking with you (maybe more accurately - having you talk with me?) - and I'm sorry I'm not more awake or active in those conversations. Thank you for sticking around. <3

My head space has been pretty bad lately, with old issues and new incarnations of old issues all haunting me. I could use some positive reinforcement for positive traits.

[sharpeningthebones]

Stunning. That's the word that comes to mind first. Stunning and lovely and caring and so sweet. You are a light in my life and a delight to know. I wish you all the best in the world and light to guide your way and shadows to hide in when you need it.

[littlebutfierce]

I'm so grateful for terajk's kindness & thoughtfulness; I also appreciate all the thinky-thoughts about disability & guro & kink & all the other things too!

[sharpeningthebones]

*shifts around a bit awkwardly* Love would be lovely, if no one minds. It's been a hard week with lots of peopleing and insecurities are rising up really badly.

Re: sharpeningthebones (they/them)

You are brave and in that bravery is beauty. Thank you for asking our help in taking care of yourself. <3
