Known you for 7 years and you play a big part in my life - partly because you never let me drop out of yours and keep in contact. I think this is marvellous because I tend towards the forgetting to contact people side of things despite still thinking of them as my friend. While your morals are slightly outside of the mainstream and I don't always understand them, you do stick to them and I admire that. I expect to still count you as a close friend in another 7 years and beyond.

Known you for 6 years. I'm never quite sure where to place you in my circle of friends, so we tend to meet occasionaly and then not see each other for long times in between. That may change now that you are on my friends list. You have an off-beat kind of humour which is sometimes very accesible and sometimes takes me a few seconds to get. Always make me laugh - when my brain catches up and interprets the joke. You have a cross between a typical male outlook and an understanding outlook, and it is refreshing for me to see the world that way through your eyes.

I forget when I started reading your journal, but it's been years. You always seem to have a lot going on in your journal and I sometimes wish I could take a magic wand and make it all better. I greatly enjoy reading everything you write in your journal, even boring cricket is interesting when you write about it, something which I cannot work out how you do. Your attachment and concern for friends is heart-warming, and is returned triple-fold by them. It is good when you appreciate childlike things as it flares within me my own childlike spirit of enjoying things that others consider not adult.

I started reading this person's journal a while ago. He is/was a soldier who was deployed in Iraq and I found it fascinating to have a window into that world. Unfortunately he ended up going back to America after sustaining an injury in combat - or is that fortunate? He no longer updates as the journal was for his soldier life, not his personal-back-in-America life. You may enjoy going back and reading the archives.

Well! My dear! It's been 12 years I believe, a goodly time and almost half my life. You used to be on the highest pedestal I knew, and although you fell off somewhere along the track (a healthy thing to happen!) I still admire you greatly while appreciating your human-ess as well. I consider you an extremely close friend despite not quite ever meeting up for ages. I confess that while on one hand our conversations are easy, I can on quite a few occasions find myself wondering what to say - oh my! Such a crushing secret revealed *heh*. I don't know, I may be imagining it, but sometimes I get the oddest feeling you hold me in high-esteem while appreciating my human-ess too, although I'm sure I don't know why. Feel free to disband that notion! But you are well loved by me and will be forever considered one of the best people I knew when I reach doddering age.

I've met you at a few parties now, but I have no idea how many years ago. I see a wonderful person who can reach to people with an easy-going manner and help everyone to feel at ease when they are around you. Very knowledgeable about maths, and able to talk about it in a way that the common masses (like me!) don't feel intimidated but rather more interested. I admire what I know of your outlook on life, and I lament that circumstances haven't allowed for us to be in a social situation more often, as I'd like to get to know you better.

Well! I guess it's been 12 years for you too! Such a goodly time. I think we tend to move in different social circles, but I still enjoy seeing you on the odd SBC group reunion. All the people from our SBC group hold a special place in my heart, including you. I find myself thinking of picking up the phone and seeing how you are, as I haven't seen you around the internet circuit for a goodly while and I'm curious/worried about what may have been happening in your life. Alas, my apathy in contacting friends is my enemy greatly in this case. Always quick with a story from back in the days, to remind me of a different time and place - it is good to reflect upon.

Oh gosh, has it been 6 or 7 years? Always an integral part of the CJ group at lunchtimes, full of life and laughter. Strong ideals, admirable commitment, plenty of courage. I wish I could get a magic wand for you too! In my life there have been quite a few times I have found myself so drained of energy that I cannot move and all I can do is cry. Everytime I think of this or it happens again, I think of you and how it is even more constant in your life. It is amazing to see how you have managed to keep your chin up all this time and still have a cheery outlook on life. Your strength of character is a shining beacon to us all.

12 years again - such a long time. You have an air of awkward grace that envelopes you and is endearing. So many memories attached to you from SBC days, including singing around the piano and the endless sketches of The Girl and Star Trek. A very big part of the SBC group, and I'm glad that I can still count you as one of my friends. You have a wonderful smile that lights up your face. Also, such wonderful pavlova at your Christmas parties - oh yes, your wonderful hosting of such parties is muchly a blessing on all those attending. Thankyou for being part of my life.

I haven't gotten to know you very well yet, but all reports indicate that it is a worthwhile endeavor. It's been a pleasure to read your LJ entries while you have been overseas. Plus, that famous haiku generator still makes the rounds (grahame + haiku in Google gets the first link)

You have had me friended for quite a while now, and I still don't know who you are! It is a curious thing to find that someone out there thinks my LJ is worthy of friending (and therefore I presume reading) for some reason I do not know. Every so often I see you when I am adjusting my friends list and I click to read your journal, with it's far between clusters of entries. You are welcome to read my LJ. One day I shall meet you at a party and put a face to the LJ name ;)

Hm, here's another 12 years person. I remember the first time I met you properly - walking up from the gym wondering what my next class was and a voice behind me tells me what it is, the person attached to it then informing me that I'm in most of her classes. In most of my extra activities too, what with band and choir. The coke fiend! Always there with a dryly told joke or quip, and the familiar finger pushing your glasses back upon your nose. The only female I know with the courage to have actually shaved her hair completely off! Also another person I tend not to see except at SBC group reunion type gatherings (including Liz and my parties) but I am glad to count among my friends still.

I'm not sure if it's been 6 or 7 years, but I'm sure you remember with you iron-clad memory of events ;) . It's been a marvel to see you change over the years. A friend in need is a friend in deed, but the friend who is also there just to be a friend is always pleasurable and welcome. The weekly viewing of a TV series has masterfully beaten my apathy in contacting friends and kept you in my life. Willing to give things a go, passionate about your hobbies, always striving to move forward with life.
And that's it! I just had the idea pop into my head this morning and had to do it, I hope you all enjoy.

Just so you know.

Date: 2007-08-05 02:22 pm (UTC)Yes, I love the fact that we get to just know that we care aobut each other and are close, even if we don't see each other for yonks (years, at one point i think), and even if we DO see each other lots (every day in europe..). And I plan for this to continue....doddering old age here we come..
Heh, don't worry about the not-knowing-what-to-say-ness (though very brave to have admitted Deep Deark Secret in journal!)...Next time it pops up feel free to panic and flail your arms wildly yelling 'OH MY GOD THIS IS WEIRD WHAT CAN I SAY!?' and hopefully weirdness will dissipate in laughing..
Thankee my dear. That was a lovely thing to do..may be inspired to do the same for my friends list at some point.
Hey that means next year, at 26, it'll be actually half our lives that we've known each other. Wow.

12?! Huh?! LOL!!
I remember you from the Entrance Exam - You sat next to me, and you were freezing. Your mouth had turned purple but you managed a grin anyway.

Yes, I've had the 1/2 our lives thought quite a few times now. Also, only a two-ish more years before a 10 year SBC reunion is expected. Here's another interesting thought: I've been with Zig for a third of his life, and over a third of mine. Freaky, huh?
