Have some insults and honest flattery!

bagheera_sanThis is a meme that intrigues me. It's sort of an invitation to cowardice, because usually these are not things I'd say to a person's virtual "face", either because I don't want to be a flatterer or because they might be hurtful. But it *is* revealing in a way memes are supposed to be.
Take a look at your LJ friends list, then list up to ten things you want to say to ten different LJ friends. DO NOT state who these people are. DO NOT confirm or deny any "comment speculation."
1. You are rude, offensive and down-right trollish. I LOVE your posts and they frequently make me laugh, because you go against fandom "mainstream" and often reveal hypocrisies that otherwise I would never notice. I don't dare to comment because I can't think of anything witty to say.
2. You write the most breathtakingly beautiful fic and for some reason I never feel stupid when we talk in comments. You impress me, but don't intimidate me.
3. I sometimes wonder if you're really serious about the things you write, but you're so loyal, consistent and radical in your biases and sympathies that I guess you really are. Sometimes it's really hard to find something to say because I don't think it'll get through.
4. I wish we could get better acquainted, but I don't think we ever will. Which is a shame because I really like you.
5. Comments from you always make me terribly happy.
6. You are awesome, because every time I feel like now I *really* envy you you either write something incredibly dorky or something that just makes me squee. It's a sort of love/hate thing were the hate part is silly and the love part vastly overwhelming. Talking to you and reading your fic is inspiring in a way few fandom acquaintances have been for me. Your smartness REALLY intimidates me, though.
7. The moment we first talked to each other was embarassing. Ever since I could kick myself for friending you, because we have absolutely nothing in common. But then again I've sort of gotten used to having you on my friendslist and I think I would actually miss your posts if I defriended you.
8. You are one of the many things I will really miss about SV fandom.
9. I sort of have a bit of a fandom crush on you. Your posts never fail to interest me, you seem awfully intelligent, and you fic is amazing. You're painfully sincere in a way that is really charming.
10. It feels as if I know you remarkably well.
Um, yeah. You may have noticed that I have this thing... fandom people basically fall into three categories for me: people I like so much that I'm afraid to get close, people I don't like that much at all, and the rare cases of people where I don't feel awkward at all. Yay insecurities! Also, after a while I get attached to people, whether I like them or not.
