I got this from fitzlovesjemma, and I am going to post about the 5 people I interact with most on this site.
First, fitzlovesjemma herself really knows and owns her identity and what makes her happy, and I admire that so much. Amanda has a really quick, sharp sense of humor and is also extremely insightful, which makes talking to her so much fun. Plus, she’s pretty much an expert on storytelling in modern media. I have to return her compliment and tell her that she, too, is an awesome adult.
yethanginginthestars is such a talented writer, and she’s put so much courage and hard work into pursuing her writing. Part of what makes Carrie’s writing and also just talking to her so great is that she’s so empathetic and so literate and so smart. Her taste in literature is impeccable, and I trust pretty much any recommendation she makes. I’m so glad she friended me on lj lo those many years ago and then found me on here.
peonymoss is so sweet and kind, and when she says she is willing to talk with you about something forever, she not only means it, she will enjoy doing it. She is also very understanding and patient, and she’s one of those people who proves that having a full and busy Real Life is not at all incompatible with thinking about the minutiae of fictional characters’ lives at the same time. Talking to her makes me think more deeply, and I love that.
passingfaire is so effortlessly funny and creative. Or if it isn’t effortless, she makes it seem like it is. Her interests are diverse; she’s done so many cool things in her life and is so open to new experiences and adventures, and I’m totally in awe of that. I still feel flattered every time Molly likes or responds to something I post. Also I feel personally invested in her cat, Jamie McKitten, because I helped name him. (Molly has excellent taste in cat names.)
mediaeval-muse is a pleasure to know online and in real life. Online Kelly is thoughtful and constructively critical. In real life she is a wonderful nerd, unabashedly enthusiastic about the things she loves and so supportive of the people she cares about. She is generous in small gifts and baked goods and time, and is always up for watching nerdy TV on weekend nights. On top of all that, she is more dedicated to her scholarship than pretty much anyone I know. I’m so glad she came into this program and this school and I got to meet her.
