More memage; it's one of those days. I think you'll like this one better.

Taken from cadhla:

Reply here and I'll tell you something I adore about you.

If I don't know you, I may well make something up.

You have been warned.

me!

i'm almost hoping for something made up

[camwyn]

And who am I to disappoint? We all talk about rising up and overthrowing our alien insectile overlords, but you, at least, had the guts to make the attempt. It's a shame you had no way of knowing that Iapetan chitin has a higher tensile strength than Terran titanium alloys and so would require a laser-guided diamond drill bit to crack, but you did get that pit dug and lined with spikes in time for the fourth annual Procession Of The Conquerors through the streets of San Antonio, and that's what counts. Better luck next year!

I think I'm still waiting on the last "I'll make something up" meme. :-)

[camwyn]

Oh poo. You know I would have got you the answer to that one if you hadn't been fleeing for your life from an angry Sam Gerard... did you ever get the evidence he was after?

[sdelmonte]

Go ahead. Make my day.

[camwyn]

You poor, silly fool, I actually know you, and so I am not going to make this one up.

I very much value the experience of talking with someone who's as similar in terms of interest and intelligence, but different in terms of personality and areas of focus, as you. You're distinctive, even among other people who could not be any more distinctive if you ran them through prisms, and I really like that.

[truebluespark]

Oh, I do like this meme. Go for it. (Not sure if I'd rather hear something real or something fake... *chuckle*)

(Incidentally, I feel I should point you at this thread, because it's cool.)

[camwyn]

I have a feeling most people would rather hear something fake, just because those can go anywhere, but I do want to try and keep it to the real stuff this time where I can.

For some reason there is something about your art that keeps making me think you are Someone Famous, and damn if I can lay a finger on what. It tends to drive me right back to whatever fanfiction I'm putting off working on. Does that count as adoring? I know it's muchly appreciated...

(*checks out thread and snerks violently* DUDE.)

[zou.livejournal.com]

Meeeee!

[camwyn]

You're as mad as I am and you maintain a truly amazing enthusiasm for your creative endeavours. Enough so that when you have your crashes and dark days, like all of us lunatics do, I wind up crossing all of my fingers and most of my toes in the hopes that it'll pass soon for your sake.

[charliesmum.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[camwyn]

You're persistent and true to the things you consider important, whether that's your son, your writing/crafts, your world views, or heck, even just your fandoms. And that's tres cool.

[traveller-blues.livejournal.com]

*grins* Deal me in.

[camwyn]

You're not afraid to approach a stranger and act on your intuition about talking to them on certain subjects- and then to go on from there and make a friend of her, and keep at it for years on end.

[jjloa.livejournal.com]

heh. I'm sick of work, so real or un-real, either shall be more amusing then the prep coding I'm doing today :)

[camwyn]

Your love of Colin Mochrie is terribly endearing, and is in fact one of the reasons why I took up watching Whose Line Is It Anyway? when I was being berthed in a skanky Days Inn down in Daytona, Florida during the hurricane season of 2004.

[feonixrift.livejournal.com]

Sure, why not. =)

For you, I make this up.

[camwyn]

It takes a special kind of person to carry her search for the perfect dojo so far as you have, but when I heard that you'd managed to persuade Chiun himself to take you on as a student of Sinanju, my jaw went through the floor. My hat is off to you!

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

Ah, Christ. Be inventive.

[camwyn]

You scare lawyers. And priests. And when I mention your name in conversation there's a temporary cloud over the sun and a roll of thunder in the distance.

[erisiansaint]

Hit me, please.

[camwyn]

You not only share my RL first name but I'm pretty sure you share a chunk of my brain, even if it's only the obsession cortex (the part that deals with things like knitting, Sims, cooking, and roleplay). And while normally I get kind of tetchy about having to share my name with nearly an entire generation of American females, with you I don't mind at all. Also, I admire your way with kids, particularly your own; I don't seem to be able to deal with them except as inconveniently small adults most of the time, so people with parenting sk1llz are t3h r0x0r as far as I'm concerned.

[bohemian--storm.livejournal.com]

Me? Even if you have to make it up. ;)

[camwyn]

Pah, what is there to make up? A drama major who's actually dedicated to her art and is serious about pursuing it, without being a prima donna? And who writes her characters as well as you do? I don't need to make stuff up for you, hon, you're cool enough on your own.

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

Me! Oooh, oooh, me! Mememe!

Prefer real, but made up ought to be interesting, all things considered.

[camwyn]

*considers* Well, I was going to say the fact that you were willing to eat the grey stuff on the appetizer plate at the Singapore Cafe without knowing what it was, but I'll settle for praising your boundless enthusiasm and willingness to whap life around when life's not cooperating.

[trinityday.livejournal.com]

Ooo! Ooo! Make something up for me!

[camwyn]

I know we were both drunk off our gourds when I said I wanted an astronomical observatory for my thirtieth birthday present, but you went out and managed to acquire one for me anyway. I hardly have time to get up there and use it these days but the scientists I've been letting in are so grateful, I just can't think of it without getting all warm and fuzzy towards you!

[kaikias.livejournal.com]

*waits to see what you make up*

[camwyn]

My God, woman, I don't think I've ever seen anyone who's as good with bears as you. The San Diego Zoo is lucky to have someone with as brilliant an innate comprehension of the needs of Katmai peninsula brown bears as you.

[lekythen.livejournal.com]

Go on then... I'm having a sucky day, and could use warm fuzzies and/or affectionate mockery.

(On a side note, kid sister has badgered me into aiding her with the Spira drawing.)

[camwyn]

The only reason I haven't attempted to commission you yet for a piece of art to hang on my RL wall is because I can't settle on anything that's worthy of what I've seen of your work. I was completely blown away when you did up the John icon for me and am praying that the next installment I finish of Hellblazer: Hogwarts lives up to your expectations, because it's going to be the chapter with "Accio pants!necktie!" in it and I so want to see how you handle that.

[neotoma.livejournal.com]

Goodness, I'm rather curious to see what you'll come up with...

[camwyn]

You have a lovely tendency to turn your fandoms over and have a go at the underside with a screwdriver just to see what makes them tick, and when you put them back together you get all the springs and flying gear bits back in place. When you've posted in the past about wizarding Canada I've caught myself cursing and wondering how much of John Lyon's stuff I'm going to have to rewrite because what you come up with sounds a lot more realistic than my own material.

[jeditigger.livejournal.com]

How scary. I'd prefer saying what I adore about YOU. :)

[camwyn]

Then post in your own journal and I shall ask there, m'dear. For now I shall simply say that anyone who can raise a pet sturgeon from freshly retrieved eggs to an age and size where it has to be given to an aquarium because no tank made for the home market can hold it? Anyone who can do that, they cool in my book.

o'tay, me too.

[maddr.livejournal.com]

Go for it :-)

Re: o'tay, me too.

[camwyn]

Dude, you have pets named after Sumerian mythological figures. In addition to the whole scientist thing and all the rest of the fun stuff about reading what you write, knowing that someone out there named their pets Enkidu and Gilgamesh is just cool.

Your art, to start with; I never feel right at all drawing people, no matter how hard I try, unless I'm doing a near line-for-line copy from a photograph. And colouring is a skill I never got the hang of. If I want colour in my work I have to draw with coloured pencils and go from there. Your work and your style is astonishing to me and I wish I could pull it together like that.

[janewt.livejournal.com]

...newts?

[camwyn]

You do a brilliant Victorian cat voice, and for quite some time I thought the White Rabbit was a friend of yours that you'd roped into playing along with you- the voices were that distinctive. And you come across as a really nice person.

[dragonwhishes.livejournal.com]

Ah, what the hell.

[camwyn]

You have amazing energy and enthusiasm, you're not afraid to let other people know how you feel, and you're busting your butt to accomplish the things you want in this world. And you're less than half my age. Very well done!

[mephron]

*raises eyebrow*

Dare I?

[camwyn]

Good Lord, man, I've known you since before there was a proper Internet. (Yes, yes, I know, it's been around longer than that, I exaggerate, shut up.) From what I've seen of you, you've got loyalty out the yin-yang and you're more than willing to defend the target of same, plus, you have powerful geek fu in the places where mine is weak. Which all adds up, you know.

[vaspider]

Me!

I am tired. I shall make something up.

[camwyn]

You pantsed William Shatner in front of an audience of two hundred and got away with it. I shall love you forever for that.

[tibicina.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Oooh! Me! Me!

Unfortunately, I just woke up and I have no coffeemaker,

[camwyn]

and my caffeinated vanilla syrup does not go down well on an empty stomach, so this answer may be a little plodgy, but... who am I kidding? I wanna make something up and I'm looking for any excuse. I mean, you beat the entire Mormon Tabernacle Choir in a series of one-on-one dance fights a la West Side Story- granted, the bass section was mostly ill with the flu, but that's still the entire rest of the choir you had to dance and sing into oblivion. My hat is off to you, ma'am.
