Hello! :D

[dreamflower]

1. Actually, I believe that you were on the original friends list that marigoldg made for me, when she set up my LJ! She picked out some people she thought I'd like--and she was quite right on almost all of them.
2. Pippin, of course, and wee!hobbits.
3. I like your enthusiasm for things--you put a lot of that into your posts!
4. I remember the postcards we exchanged shortly before Katrina--I still have the one you sent me, and I was so glad that I had sent you a card from *before* all the destruction!
5. Why did you decide to go back to school?
6. It's a toss-up: there are three I love--the unicorn and then there are the Merry: Flag and Pippin: Flag, which are both made of awesome!

*sneaks in for a comment*

[dreamflower]

1. You are another person that marigoldg friended for me--and I was very glad she did, because I already loved your stories!
2. LotR, of course, and snuggling hobbits in blankets
3. You are such a sweet person, you are always as gentle in your dealings with others as you are with your hobbits.
4. The lovely card and the things you sent to me after Katrina!
5. What brought you into fanfic?
6. The one of the four hobbits in the wheatfield with the art by Mucun.

1. Well, I'd been seeing your name on comments and in communities so often that I actually *thought* I'd already friended you, and then one day I was on the phone with Dana, and she said something about your post--I was puzzled, since I hadn't seen it. She went to my user page, and then laughed and said I didn't have you friended. So I fixed it.
2. The Last Ship
3. I like how open and honest you are with your opinions. You don't sugarcoat them--but you don't go out of your way to be snarky, either.
4. How helpful you were the first time I took part in a fic exchange challenge!
5. How did you get to know Dana?
6. The "goodly men" one!

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Do I dare? eep!

[dreamflower]

1. You'd made some very nice comments to me, I believe, and I *think* you asked could you friend me, and I was very glad to do so.
2. Aside from LotR, cockatiels.
3. I like how you are not afraid to try new things.
4. I do believe that I will always remember your recent traumatic experience with a lot of awe for how well you handled it.
5. Why cockatiels?
6. "Frodosmilelight".

*waves hi*

[dreamflower]

1. I fell in love with "The King's Surgeon" and Serinde.
2. Serinde. And that you are a surgeon.
3. I love your determination to do what's right, in both your fic and your RL.
4. Bonding over hurricanes, LOL!
5. When did you first realize that you wanted to be a surgeon?
6. The Serinde one, that Glory made you.

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

*peeks in*

[dreamflower]

1. I think you were either one that marigoldg friended for me, or I found you through her challenges.
2. The MEFAs
3. How hard you work at everything you do.
4. The way both our stories sort of interlocked in that one Marigold Challenge, when we both wrote about a flood.
5. What got you into the Silm?
6. I think it's a toss-up between your Maglor or "The fanfic author made me do it".

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

*pokes* Just because.

[dreamflower]

1. I think it was a mutual friending thing--I don't remember which of us asked first.
2. Theater and acting.
3. I enjoy your sense of humor, and the way you use it when things go wrong for you.
4. I remember when you first went to Ireland, and your mixed feelings about it.
5. What drew you to being a theater major?
6. The Pippin one--"one by one".

[the-arc5.livejournal.com]

Oh, pick me!

Also, despite my appalling lack of beginnings for you to edit, are we still making plans for meeting? Because I want to. I really, really want to.

[dreamflower]

1. I was excited to meet another LotR person.
2. LotR, but also Doctor Who.
3. I like your sense of humor.
4. Finding out we're both in OK.
5. When did you get into LotR?
6. Harry/Nancy. Mainly because it reminded me of one of mine, LOL. That movie "Knocked Up" was a boon to icon makers, LOL!

Yes, I do. What would be a good weekday next week for you to have lunch?

[blueniverse.livejournal.com]

*comments* :)

[dreamflower]

1. I saw the chance to have a new LotR friend.
2. Pippin.
3. You are so excited about everything--I love your energy.
4. Well, it hasn't been all that long yet.
5. I believe you said "Blue" is your RL name. What's the story behind it?
6. The Fellowship rainbow one.

[lily-the-hobbit.livejournal.com]

*is curious*

[dreamflower]

1. I'm fairly sure you were on my original flist that marigoldg made for me.
2. Merimac.
3. You have a very hobbity approach to life, LOL!
4. How pleased I was the first time you asked me to beta for you. And how disappointed I was that we couldn't meet when I was in Scotland.
5. What made you want to learn Gaelic?
6. Merimac.

[graymouse.livejournal.com]

hello *waves*

[dreamflower]

1. I believe it was because you made some very nice comments on some of my fic.
2. LotR.
3. You often seem to catch something in your comments that others miss.
4. Well, we haven't known each other very long yet.
5. Where did you come up with your username.
6. Your default one.

[elandulin.livejournal.com]

Hi! :)

I was too shy to do SS's, and anyway, she hardly knows me so it wasn't really fair, but I guess you do, so this might be okay. You don't have to answer #6, because I only have one user pic.

[dreamflower]

1. Because you are awesome and you were already my friend and because I talked you into getting your LJ in the first place.
2. A Secret Gate.
3. You have a very solid sense of yourself and your beliefs and are very articulate in expressing them.
4. The first time you emailed me after I reviewed your story, and we began to correspond. Also, I will never forget GW sending me Chapter 11--it was such a treat to me in a trying time.
5. Hmm...it's hard to think up something we haven't already discussed, but--what's your earliest childhood memory?
6. *grin* Well, that makes it easy to choose, LOL. Seriously, I love that pic, and I'm very fond of it. And since it is unique to you, I always know it's you when you comment!

[gentlehobbit.livejournal.com]

I'm curious, so I'm commenting! But as I said to Claudia, be as lazy as you'd like. Sometimes one or more of the points doesn't always come to mind for some people.

:)

[dreamflower]

1. I'm pretty sure it was because of your LotR/ST:TNG crossover. It was such an impressive bit of work, with such a unique perspective, and I loved it. And I've enjoyed your fic that I've read since.
2. Your LotR/ST:TNG crossover; also Canada
3. I like that you are like your name--your writing and your comments are gentle and perceptive.
4. Hmm...well, I guess I have to go back up to those first two answers, LOL.
5. How do you think knowing other languages helps you when you write?
6. I think the one "A Jewel Among Hobbits". I love the blue lighting, and the expression on his face, neither laughing nor angsty. He just looks content in that picture.

[aspenjules.livejournal.com]

Hiya!!

[dreamflower]

1. I remember you posted a story at SoA that I loved, and then we emailed back and forth a bit, so when you got an LJ we friended each other--I don't remember if I went first or if you did.
2. LotR, naturally.
3. I like your comments--they are usually very insightful, and more than just squee.
4. Hmm...I suppose it was reading your story, the Faramir and Merry one, and I was so impressed with it as a first fic.
5. How do you manage to be so disciplined with your fitness routines?
6. Happy Boromir. You don't see many "happy Boromir" pics!

[periantari.livejournal.com]

:hugs: oooo pick me~ =) ;)

[dreamflower]

1. I think you friended me first, though I'm not sure.
2. Frodo. Fro sure! LOL!
3. Your enthusiasm and love for LotR and for Middle-earth.
4. Well, it's not one *I* have, it's one Dana told me about, when she met you and GW, and how nice and sweet your were.
5. What brought you to LotR in the first place?
6. Ooh, you have so many cool ones, but I think my fave is "Now is the hour of the Shirefolk...".

[maniac1.livejournal.com]

Comments.... *grin*

[dreamflower]

1. Well, when I realized that "maniac1" was actually *you*, LOL!
2. LotR. And Scotland.
3. You are just as sweet in RL as you are online.
4. That morning I went for a walk with you and GW around the castle, and we picked up rocks. I wish I hadn't've pooped out that day--I would have loved to have gone further with y'all.
5. What's your favorite memory of the Scotmoot?
6. Contemplative Pippin. He looks so young and innocent in that picture.

[ansostuff.livejournal.com]

*waves*

[dreamflower]

1. You are another one that marigoldg put on my flist--and I'm so glad she did.
2. Merry. And SG-1. And Norway.
3. I like the way you keep on plugging, no matter what life throws at you.
4. Well, one is that marvelous story your wrote with my bunny, "Walk Warily". And another was that wonderful card and the chocolate you sent after Katrina!
5. If you had to live someplace *besides* Norway, where would you pick?
6. The one with the close-up of Merry's eyes. His personality really shows in that one!

[ceshaughnessy.livejournal.com]

*Waves both arms over head* Me, me, me next Barbara!!!

[dreamflower]

1. I think that I friended you when I found out we'd be meeting in Scotland.
2. LotR. And Scotland.
3. You are a very kind and thoughtful person,and you are passionate about what you care about.
4. I will always remember that day when we were walking down from the castle, and I couldn't keep up, and you were the only person who waited for me.
5. Why do you like Pippin best?
6. The one with the sketch of Pippin from the closing credits of RotK. I *adore* those drawings, they are utterly beautiful.

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

I'd be interested in your thoughts !

[dreamflower]

1. I can't be 100% sure, but I believe we friended one another last year when "there'n'back" was doing the Alphabet Challenge in March.
2. LotR, and especially Aragorn.
3. I like your positive take on the Gondorians; you've made me think a lot more about them as characters.
4. Us both trying to think up things for those crazy prompts!
5. What is it that draws you so to Aragorn?
6. You've got some really nice ones. But I think the Arwen one is my favorite--that's really pretty!

[lilybaggins.livejournal.com]

I know you've done this before... but it was a lot of fun back then!

[dreamflower]

1. You were on the original flist marigoldg made me. I'm very glad, too!
2. LotR. And Frodo and Aragorn.
3. Your sense of humor--you can be very funny indeed!
4. How supportive you were during that wild Hurricane Season of '05, and after Katrina.
5. Why do you like MPREG? (I really am curious!)
6. They all make me giggle. But I think "taller than some and adorabler than most", LOL!

[lindelea1.livejournal.com]

[aranellaurelote.livejournal.com]

ummmm.......hey!

Lily Hawker-Yates

[dreamflower]

Well, I shall just have to remedy that, LOL! If I don't friend people right off, I tend to forget that I haven't already done it!
