Gacked from a whole slew of people on my flist:

Comment and I'll--

1 - Tell you why I friended you. Assuming I can remember :)
2 - Associate you with something. A fandom, a song, a colour, a piece of fruit. SOMETHING.
3 - Tell you something I like about you.
4 - Tell you a memory I have of you.
5 - Associate you with a character/pairing.
6 - Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. (Or else I'll just ask a random question. I reserve that right.)
7 - Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
8 - In return, you must spread this disease in your LJ.

You can if you want to, and haven't done it already!

I'll play! :D

[dreamflower]

1. You were one of the original friends Marigold gave to me when she set up my LJ.
2. Frodo, Scamp, blankies
3. I love your enthusiasm for hobbits, and the way you are always so welcoming to everyone, and encouraging everyone. I think that you are a very kind person.
4. Never having met you in RL, I mostly remember you through stories and LJ. I had great fun with you when GW posted The Pepsi Saga, which I still have to remind myself from time to time *didn't actually happen* Did it? And I remember "The Breaking Point"--first story of yours that I read, and I thought it just brilliant.
5. Frodo, and especially the Frodo of Quarantined!
6. How do you seem to stay on top of everything on your flist? You always seem to be the first to comment on just about every post!
7. The one by Mucun with all 4 hobbits in it. I love that one.

[slightlytookish]

Hello :D

[dreamflower]

1. I am pretty sure you also were on the original flist Marigold made for me.
2. Pippin
3. I love the way you always seem to put a positive spin on things; and I am always impressed with your Tookish Tuesday quotes. I never would have thought that Pippin had so much to say in canon!
4. You are another I've never met in RL, but I do remember very well the first lovely postcard you sent me, and the cards I've had from you since. (And I'm so glad I got to send *you* a card of what the Coast was like *before* Katrina!)
5. Pippin, especially wee Pippin
6. How did you meet Dana?
7. That close-up of Pippin, where he looks so *young*! I think you have it labeled "Lovely Pippin" or something like that...

[gamgeefest.livejournal.com]

Commenting. :D

[dreamflower]

1. I believe that I friended you after you commented on my fics a couple of times.
2. Hobbits!
3. I get a kick out of your humor--even when your posts are not about LotR, I like to read them, as you are almost always funny, and have some very unique observations on things.
4. When you wrote Squiggy's bunny! I was so thrilled!
5. Sam
6. What do you like best about having a large extended family? What do you like least about it?
7. *grin* Squiggy, of course!

[fell-beast2.livejournal.com]

Hi.

[dreamflower]

1. I think that you friended me, and I friended you back.
2. LotR
3. Your comments are usually spot-on and astute, whether on LotR or something else.
4. I love your story "Talking to Strangers"--it's so very realistic, and also unusual.
5. Cats
6. What "else" do you think you have in common with Queen Beruthiel?
7. That one you used right here. *points up* I love that expression--it's the quintessential cheerfulness of Pippin!

[elendiari22.livejournal.com]

Hi. How're you this fine evening?

[dreamflower]

1. I think that you friended me first, and I friended you back.
2. LotR, PotC
3. I get quite a kick out of your various observations on things, especially the people you see from day to day. And I do love your fic as well.
4. I was so impressed by your documentation of that dress from PotC--your costuming skills are really good!
5. Elizabeth from PotC
6. If you could go *anywhere* for a vacation, and money was no object, where would it be?
7. There's two of them. *That* one, *points up* about the flaming goats, and the Faramir one about "theraphy" LOL!

[garnet-took.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can't resist. I may even do this in my lj.

[dreamflower]

1. I *think* you may have friended me first.
2. LotR, of course
3. I love your determination and the way you deal with everything in your life--you seem to be a very upbeat person.
4. Your story "Of Difficulties and Delicate Situations"--such a unique story, and such a different take on Pippin and Diamond.
5. Pippin
6. What are your hopes for the Wee One's future?
7. The one of Pippin looking so hopeful--it's one of Dana's.

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

All right -- I'll jump in and play! :D

[dreamflower]

1. I actually *thought* I had you friended before I did. I had seen your name so often on my flist, that it wasn't until one day when Dana asked me if I had seen a certain post of yours that I realized that I *didn't* have you friended. I remedied the situation at once, LOL!
2. LotR
3. I love your enthusiasm for the fandom! Also, you seem to be a very generous and pro-active person, when it comes to helping others.
4. Well, it's kind of hard to forget us being "boob buddies" recently. It really helped me to know that someone else was sharing my experience.
5. Frodo/Aragorn
6. Why do you think you like MPREG? (Really curious.)
7. The one you usually use, of Frodo smiling at the end of the movie.

[periantari.livejournal.com]

That's a cool meme. :)

[dreamflower]

1. I think you friended me first, and I friended you back. I'm very glad I did.
2. LotR
3. I adore the sheer joy of your posts about hobbits and LotR and Tolkien; you really throw yourself into it headfirst.
4. I remember how impressed I was with your first postings from "Letters"; I always look forward to those, by the way.
5. Hobbits, especially Frodo
6. If you could ask JRRT any one question, what would it be?
7. "This is the hour of the Shirefolk"

[grey-wonderer.livejournal.com]

I am leaving a comment. Consider it left.

[dreamflower]

1. You were among those on my original flist that Marigold set up for me.
2. LotR
3. You are a genius when it comes to funny. I am absolutely serious when I say that you have a true talent for comedy. I could easily see you making your name as a stand-up comedian, or as a comedy writer for one. You have an incredible sense of timing, and I don't know anyone else with your skill at banter.
4. I will never forget talking to you during that awful time when I was cut off by Katrina, and how you sent me *stories* in the mail! I hope I get to hug you in RL someday for that!
5. Hobbits, especially Merry and Pippin
6. When are you going to tell us a bit about Errol's early life with Arwen?
7. "I'm hungry, Merry!"

[isil-elensar.livejournal.com]

I once was here, but now I'm gone..
I left my name to carry on..
Those who know me, know me well..
Those who don't...

well, they just don't. ;-)

this has been a type-by commenting... ;-)

[dreamflower]

1. I friended you not only because of LotR, but because of SCA!
2. LotR
3. You are very passionate about the things that you care about.
4. I remember you generously offered to let us come to you before Katrina, and how you were among those trying to find out about us afterwards.
5. Elves and Orlando
6. Why do you enjoy reading romance so much?
7. The one with the stack of books

[surgicalsteel.livejournal.com]

I'm in!

[dreamflower]

1. Because of your fics--I didn't want to miss a word
2. LotR
3. I admire you so much for your dedication to your work, and for the integrity you use in dealing with your very difficult job, and for the way you cope with it with humor and grace.
4. I will always remember and be grateful for your advice about my biopsy, and helping to give me what I needed to make the decision to go to Mom's b'day.
5. Serinde
6. What do you think you have *most* in common with Serinde?
7. Your Serinde icon

[elandulin.livejournal.com]

Me, too!

[dreamflower]

1. Well, since I rather strong-armed you into *getting* an LJ, I could hardly help friending you, LOL! And I'm so glad you did.
2. LotR
3. I love your intelligent insight into the creative process of writing, not only your own, but that of others. And I like your integrity when it comes to dealing with writing in JRRT's world.
4. I remember how pleased I was to get your response to my first review to you. And I will never forget how thrilled I was when GW sent me Ch. 11 of ASG, when I was stuck powerless after the hurricane.
5. Merry and Pippin and Jamy Bucket
6. You've indicated that you don't feel comfortable writing Frodo--why? (Because I think you would do it beautifully.)
7. That one! *points up* That is some beautiful art.

[aspenjules.livejournal.com]

I'm in! *waves hello*

[dreamflower]

1. I believe you are another who friended me first. But I had noted you commenting for a while.
2. LotR
3. I like your respect for the stories you read, and the astute comments you make.
4. I remember the first story you posted at SoA. I was completely blown away by it.
5. Hobbits
6. What drew you into the fandom? Why did you decide to start writing too?
7. The one you used here *points up*

[boz4pm.livejournal.com]

I'm game! Count me in. :) Not sure I'll be able to do it on my own LJ, though, which is why I've avoided this before now.

[dreamflower]

1. Penny--I was completely bowled over by "Don't Panic"
2. LotR
3. You have got the most wicked sense of humor. While I started friending you because of Penny, I love your other posts, such as the newspams, and your accounts of the Bozling (who is utterly adorable! I could eat her with a spoon!) and your evol cats!
4. I remember how boggled everyone was not long ago about that really strange WTF review you got. Your comments on it were hilarious, even though seriously thought-provoking as well.
5. LotR
6. It's highly unlikely you'd ever get around to writing it into fic, so I don't feel guilty to ask: how do you suppose Penny's family in "our time" is reacting to her disappearance?
7. It's a toss up between your "Penny story plan" and the one about Frodo being a wraith--only shorter.

[topaztook.livejournal.com]

Wow, I'm really curious about that associating people with a piece of fruit would work....

[dreamflower]

*snerk*

1. I think that you friended me first, and I friended you back, but I'm not sure.
2. LotR
3. I like the way you associate your reading and your life. It's very refreshing to see. And it seems to me that you must be a very good parent, just going by your posts.
4. I remember being drawn into your Pippin/Diamond story.
5. Pippin/Diamond
6. What do you find hardest about being a parent?
7. That one! *points up*

PipMer

[maniac1.livejournal.com]

Hello, dreamflower! This is PipMer, from Marigold's challenges. I was just wondering if we could friend each other. I'm not sure how that works, so I thought I would just ask you here. I hope you don't mind me posting here!

Thanks, dreamflower!

[danachan.livejournal.com]

*comments!*

[elanor1013.livejournal.com]

I'll play, why not? :)

[dreamflower]

1. I think you friended me first; I know I saw some comments from you before I friended you.
2. LotR; figure skating
3. I love to read your posts--you are very astute, and have a wide range of interests in common with mine, aside from LotR fandom, and you have some very intelligent opinions.
4. I remember being a bit surprised when I realized you were a student--you had struck me as being older for some reason.
5. LotR
6. What do you want to do with the law when you are finished school?
7. I think your Sasha Cohen one...

[ansostuff.livejournal.com]

1. You write awesome stories and I like you
2. I assosiate you with hobbit cousins! :D
3. You're sweet and generous and kind and hobbity.
4. Transatlantic postage. Even if we haven't met in RL yet (and I don't think I'll make the Hobbit Moot in Scotland, sadly).
5. Again, hobbit cousins
6. Hm.... I'll take a fandom one then: Who's your favourite OC? No, don't answer that, I do have another one I've wondered about: Why don't you comment much on comments any more? Forget that. Answer the first one. ;) Or both. Or none.
7. Love the default one. It's so "pure" Tolkien.

((((((hugs)))))))

[dreamflower]

1. You were in my original flist, that Marigold made for me, and I was so glad to get to know you!
2. And I associate you with Merry--and Daniel
3. And you are also very sweet and kind and thoughtful and hobbity!
4. I'll never forget your little treats during Katrina. (And I wish you could make the hobbit moot, *sigh*!)
5. Merry and yes, his cousins as well
6. My favorite OCs? Well, I think it's a toss-up between Menelcar and Mistress Poppy! And I'll answer the other as well--I've been very slow on commenting since we moved--sometimes I lose track of comments on my personal posts, though I *do* try very hard not to lose track of fic feedback. I know I haven't been posting as much personal stuff either; I don't need to be boring my flist all the time with talking about unpacking (still).
7. I really like your "hobbit heroes" one, and also the one with Merry going "oo-la-la", LOL!

[melilot-hill.livejournal.com]

I'm rather late, but also rather curious :-D

[dreamflower]

1. You were on my original flist, that Marigold made me. And I'm very glad I've kept you on!
2. LotR, the Netherlands
3. You are a very sweet and hobbity person, and you make me curious about the things that go on in your country.
4. I remember "How the Wind Howls"--that was a most excellent story!
5. LotR, especially Pippin
6. Have you ever been to the US? If not, would you like to?
7. The Treebeard one, by the Bros. Hildebrandt

[ceshaughnessy.livejournal.com]

Totally cool idea, what a great way to learn about everybody! Oh you are so creative girl!! Yes, I am going to do this in my own LJ. Ahem, btw, how are you?
Cathleen

[dreamflower]

I'm fine!

1. I think I remember you friending me after you got your LJ--but I knew you first from PippinHealers and Marigold's Challenges, so I friended you right back.
2. Hobbits
3. You are enthusiastic and persistant, and you constantly try very hard to improve. And you have a great love for hobbits!
4. I remember our email exchanges! And of course, PippinHealers.
5. Pippin
6. What brought you into the fandom?
7. I love both the sepia toned ones: the one of Pippin, looking so young and thoughtful, and the one of the Fellowship.

[lilybaggins.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've been meaning to reply here!

[dreamflower]

1. I'd seen your name often on my flist--and you commented to some of my panicky pre-Katrina posts, and then Rita was headed your way--I think that's when I friended you.
2. LotR--especially a certain blue-eyed hobbit!
3. You have a dynamite sense of humor! I look forward to your posts whenever I really need a laugh!
4. Your thoughtfulness during hurricane season, and then me worrying about you!
5. Frodo/Aragorn; interspecies stories
6. Why do you like interspecies? What draws you to it? I really am curious.
7. "Me? Adorable?" *grin*
