What I Like About You... (meme)

[drwex]

Reply to this post, and I will list three things I love about you. Maybe more than three. Then you should repost to your own journal to spread the love.

(Amusingly I just discovered that the titular song of this posting was not a Kinks or Cars tune, as I'd thought. Apparently it was done by The Romantics.)

I won't repost this to my journal, but if you feel like saying nice things to me anyway, I'll be appreciative.

[drwex]

ha. You should, if only because your answers would be good ones.

I love your facility with language, both when you're on a roll and when you're snapping off one-liners that crack up a whole room.

I love your honesty and lack of pretension.

I love the way you're willing to engage on a variety of levels and topics, holding aside your personal beliefs.

OK, I'll bite.

yes, I've noticed

[drwex]

Gee I have to pick just three? Oh boy

I love your responsiveness.

I love your spinning and the way you connected me to this activity.

I love the way you pick up on my eccentricities in things like food and music.

me please

[drwex]

I love the way you are able to be there for people (us, your husband, your friends)

I love the way you treat my home as a comfortable space

I love the way you can have things that are tremendously important to you (such as your rats) without being pushy or pretentious about them towards other people.

I love your humor and your laugh.

I love your I-don't-give-a-damn-just-cope-or-get-out-of-my-way-already attitude.

I love how gentle and patient you can be.

I would really like to hear some nice things about me. :-)

[drwex]

I love your passion for language/poetry/history

I love when you "let your hair down" and are willing to be silly (I still remember you doing "Little Bunny Foo Foo" with my kids)

I love your quiet honesty.

Ping!

[drwex]

I love your ability to give of your space, your time/energy, and your skills to your friends and to the community.

I love your ability to be smart and know a lot of things without feeling the need always to be demonstrating it or being superior to someone.

I love your gentleness with your son.

I find this meme baffling.
Either there are a lot more hypergenerous people out there than I would believe, or...I don't know what.
But I'm not writing a blank check to deliver 3 compliments to anyone who asks. There are some people I cannot honestly compliment.

I have commented, but please do not compliment me.

this is why some of us posted it locked in various ways...

[drwex]

*shrug* I suppose I have a stronger belief in the group of people who'd bother reading my LJ and responding to this. I'm also fine with gracefully declining to respond. I don't feel a strong obligation here.

[coraline]

me?

[drwex]

I love that you're able to embody the "whacky scientist" concept without it coming across as forced or hokey.

I love the way you're able to open up to new experiences and expanding possibilities.

I love your hair (trite I know, but true)

[rintrahroars.livejournal.com]

Me, please?

[drwex]

I love that you seem to be able to pick yourself up and keep going after getting smacked down hard.

I love that you're willing to put energy into keeping up communication with me (selfishly, I believe some day I'll be able to collect on those various IOUs distance has imposed)

I love the way your personality shines through your beauty.

[sweetmmeblue.livejournal.com]

I keep thinking I'd like to play and I'd like to hear three things you love about me. Then I think about all the ways you already tell me you love me. :)

If you feel so inclined to add to those here I'd love to hear them.

[drwex]

I'd have to say that they are two different things.

I love that you don't recriminate.

I love the way you make home possible that exceed my best dreams ever.

I love the unibrain

I don't know if you know me well enough to answer, but I am curious...

[drwex]

I have to confess I don't really know you well enough. I know you are kind and have made several of our mutual friends very happy and those are worthwhile qualities to mention.

[kimberlogic.livejournal.com]

Me?

[drwex]

I love the depth of love you are capable of.

I love your ability to be organized amid chaos.

I love your ability to mediate potential conflicts and walk purposefully with one foot in this world and one in the adjacent world.

[wolfkitn.livejournal.com]

i'm curious as to what you'd come up with, and i could use it...

[drwex]

I love your hugs (could I possibly not list this?)

I love your strength of will and conviction, when you let it show.

I love your ability to be who you are, even if that's contrary to peoples' expectations and your outer appearances.
