Friends Only Posty Thing

[cloudyjenn]

I just realized I should have a friending post. My journal is friends only, but I don't mind adding people back. However, I get names mixed up between twitter and livejournal and I like to know who people are. So! In that spirit, when you friend me, say howdy here and I'll know who you are better to friend you back.

Here's a template you can use:

Hello, The Most Awesome that ever Awesomed. *bows*

Dude, you hit the nail on the head. That is ALSO my favorite type of cloud. We have so much in common.

As for those books, I think I read Gilgamesh ages ago, but I have not read the second. Just to be safe, I'll put them both on the list.

So I guess you can stay my friend.

*smothers you*

Hello!

Re: Er. Hi.

[cloudyjenn.livejournal.com]

It was!

I totally love big tall stacks of clouds that could look like a city. Of course, I like most clouds. ;)

And Vanya's an adorable name!

[addisongrey.livejournal.com]

Name: Addisongrey (on LJ)
Favourite type of cloud: A bit of sirrus, stratus oh and a touch of cumulus. I call it pegasus. :D Or does that count as a quote? [From Hercules] I love the really really low clouds. They sorta give you the impression you can reach up and touch the sky?
A quote: Success is baked by a chef named obsession.
What you'd name a dog cat: Argent, have always wanted a grey cat named Argent
Book rec: Journey to the River Sea by Eva Ibbotson, childhood book that I love and could reread anyday

[cloudyjenn.livejournal.com]

*waves* Hello!

I like this quote because I totally got obsession down. *waits for success* :)

[xarixian.livejournal.com]

Name: Xarixian (Xari/Xia)

Favorite type of cloud: I'm not sure. Cirrus, or altostratus/stratus clouds. Or mist.

A quote: "Myrtle! I'm naked!"

What you'd name a dog: I don't know. It depends on the dog. I know I want a grey cat called Dorian. Or two called Fry and Laurie (Fry would be grey/brown and Laurie would be ginger) I did want a rat called Shakespeare, but I'm going off that a bit.

What you'd suggest to read if we were in a book club: The Picture of Dorian Grey, Good Omens, or ... Well, I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. There's too many to choose from.

[cloudyjenn.livejournal.com]

Hello! Nice to see you from ye olde Twitter!

I agree about the books; there are just too many. I have read Dorian Grey, but I really need to read GO. I feel like I'm the only one in our fandom who hasn't!

[yuurix3.livejournal.com]

Name: Grace. I'm GrayceinFaith on Twitter. xD
Favorite type of cloud: Storm clouds. I love listening to a storm and driving under a storm cloud right before it rains while it's thundering and lightning.
A quote: "In case of fire, exit the building BEFORE tweeting about it" -Some T-shirt
What you'd name a dog: Dean xD<33 Maybe Parker but Dean's my first choice.
What you'd suggest to read if we were in a book club: Black Jewel Trilogy. xD What would you suggest?

[cloudyjenn.livejournal.com]

Hello, bb! Hahahah, omg, that quote, hee!

As for what I'd suggest? Hrm...I loved Where the Red Fern Grows when I was a kid. I love The Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Samaria series by Sharon Shinn.

Welcome!

=) Be my friend, bitte.

[avant-garde18.livejournal.com]

Name: Bruce (It is what everyone calls me, though the name on my birth certificate is Hannah)
Favorite Cloud: Cirrus Intortus (they're the kind of clouds that curve around each other and layer and generally make all sorts of interesting shapes. They remind me of rorschach patterns in the sky, like God's very own ink blots).
A quote: "Is this a kissing book?" -from the movie version of The Princess Bride
Currently, if I had a canine companion, it would be a Sharpei. I'd name her Don Quixote. We would, of course, avoid windmills on our walks together.
Book suggestion: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane (because you're never too old for children's novels and it's beautiful and simple and profound).

Re: =) Be my friend, bitte.

[cloudyjenn.livejournal.com]

Hello Bruce, heee...I like that!

Love the quote and I'll make a note of that book! Welcome!

[sansdatelimite.livejournal.com]

Name: You know me as Sephirothflame :)

Favorite type of cloud: Strife

A quote: "On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." Which, in English, is roughly "One only sees well with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes."

What you'd name a dog: Depends on the kind of dog. A huskey named Sephiroth is my dream dog, but I'm naming the lab I might get either Cas or somekind of chemical, to keep in line with the Sarin and Cyano theme.

What you'd suggest to read if we were in a book club: My favorite books are Le Petit Prince and Life of Pi, so one of those.

[cloudyjenn.livejournal.com]

Ahhha, now that's a good Cloud, I enjoy that. :)

Hello, dear! I'm adding you back!

[headphone-holic.livejournal.com]

Hi *waves*... I just saw this post and thought I should get over my fear of friending people... so yeah :)

A quote: "You can brave decisions
Before you crumble up inside
Spend your time asking everyone else's permission
Then run away and hide" Damien Rice- Coconut Skins

What you'd name a dog: Kai

What you'd suggest to read if we were in a book club:Good Omens

[cloudyjenn.livejournal.com]

Hello! *waves back* I'm glad you decided to friend me; it's nice to meet you!

I really need to read that book. Everyone keeps rec'ing it to me! Also, I like your name, heh.

So yeah, hi!

[whumpses.livejournal.com]

Name: Jackie
favorite type of cloud: cumulonimbus - always has been
what I'd name a dog: Ruby. I know! But its a great name for a cairn terrier.
A quote: the whole Desiderata, but especially the part that says "You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. You have the right to be here."
Book club: the Diamond Age, by Neal Stephenson. Castle Waiting by Linda Medley. It's a comic book & I think you'd like it.

Hello! Oooh, I really like your quote! :D

Adding you back. *adds*

[silverusagi]

Hi! I found you because of your fic!

Name: GoldenUsagi
Favorite type of cloud: Wall cloud (okay, not really, but it's the only type of cloud that can get you)
A quote: If the Apocalypse comes, beep me.
What you'd name a dog: I did name a dog Pepper.
What you'd suggest to read if we were in a book club: Pride and Prejudice

Hello! Lulz, okay your quote is cute. And relevant to my interests! Also, Pepper is an adorable name for a dog.

*adds you back*

[earth-heart.livejournal.com]

Name: Benny- earth_heart on LiveJournal
Favorite type of cloud: I like the clouds that form which preceed a thunderstorm. Sometimes they are very large and dangerous-looking, but pure white. Other times they are just this dark, stormy black color. It's very fascinating.
A quote: "Kindness, once given, always has a way of coming back."
What you'd name a dog: I am very fond of Destiel, not just because of the Dean/Castiel paring, but because I find it a wonderful name. I'd love to holler 'Des!' and have a dog come running. Either that, or I would give it a name like 'Veritas' or 'Aequitas'. Something in another language, perhaps.
What you'd suggest to read if we were in a book club: Honestly? I'd suggest Good Omens. I absolutely adore that book. Crowley makes me giggle. Either that, or I suggest any Anne McCaffrey books, or even Mercedes Lacky. Oh dear, I don't believe I spelled either of those right. x.x I'm so bad with names.

... I'm sorry for bombarding you with words. D:

[cloudyjenn.livejournal.com]

No worries! I like words. :) I agree that thunderstorm clouds are cool, but so terrifying! *hides from storms*

I'm adding you back!

[bientot.livejournal.com]

I've been chain-reading your fic after a rec for "This is Not Convenient", which I loved! Happy ending after happy ending, and then I came to "The Last Five Years" and was totally unprepared and cried and cried! Wow. Okay, so that's how I found you.


Name: Agnes (Doci on Twitter/moo)
Favorite type of cloud: The big gray ones that make the whole sky gray, but you can see vividly the bright color of sun behind them through the spaces between - I'm sure there's a name for them but I don't know it!
A quote: "...staring down the barrel of a loaded question..." (Puberty Wars, Uncle Bonsai)
What you'd name a dog: Well, I wouldn't because I'm so not a dog person, but my cats were Hark and Listen (from Thurber's The Thirteen Clocks)
What you'd suggest to read if we were in a book club: The Sot-Weed Factor by John Barth - one of the funniest and most amazing books I've ever read!

A quote: "Life's hard. Get a helmet." Not very impressive, but oddly profound. ;)
What you'd name a dog: I have a dog named Puppers. No idea, the boyfriend named her.
What you'd suggest to read if we were in a book club: Hm... To be honest, I haven't read anything but fanfic and textbooks since I started graduate school.

[cloudyjenn.livejournal.com]

Hello! Dude, that quote is awesome. I feel...so like that right now.
