Keeping this as a backup, mostly, for now.

HAI! Um, I don't know if you remember but way back when in October you commented on my FO post because Dizzy sent you a knockin'. I, in a demonstration of my failure, failed to reply to your comment :(

Basically what I am saying is that I would love to be your friend if you will still have me :D

Hahahaha, of course!

Friends? Chuck and Sarah obsessed over here. We have tons of fandom in common too.

You seem pretty awesome, and we share many interests and a few friends. Add me, maybe? :)

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2009-04-07 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Sure!

[identity profile] outofdoritos.livejournal.com 2009-04-07 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Great, adding you back right now! I'm David - what's your name? Looking forward to getting to know you!

I'm Alex(andra), and likewise!

[identity profile] lizie-muffy.livejournal.com 2009-04-25 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Saw we have some fandoms in common. Added you. Add back?

[identity profile] vintagejoy.livejournal.com 2009-04-30 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Alex, this is Zoe, I hit the wrong button in renaming and have inadvertantly lost all my friends! Add me again please! Even though I am basically the worst friend on the planet I neeeeeed you and your enthusiasm and insightful questions (and your charts and graphs!)

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2009-04-30 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
YUCK, Z, that is terrible! Your new name is looooovely, though.

[identity profile] cantbesilent.livejournal.com 2009-05-01 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, saw you over at [livejournal.com profile] shimmeryshine's LJ and we have about 10,000 things in common. Mind if I add you?

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2009-05-01 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I read that 10,000 thing as hyperbole, but wow, we basically actually do. Hi!

[identity profile] cantbesilent.livejournal.com 2009-05-01 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
HI! Yeah, no, I think that's only a slight exaggeration on my part. I even love figure skating.

[identity profile] allibabab.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
so i just spent like ten minutes looking through all the posts on this entry trying to find mine, and then i remembered how we actually found each on [livejournal.com profile] album_love because of our randomly overlapping interests! but now i can't remember why we actually started talking besides the fact that i noticed you using awesome icons both times we ran into each other. :( do you remember? should i probably have found a more appropriate place to put this random comment? can you believe i'm on livejournal right now?? i should really come around here more often.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
They were both your posts, weren't they? I thiiiiiiiiiink the first time I commented because of a Lisa Loeb album I didn't have (The Way It Really Was or Catch the Moon, I guess? Those are the ones I would've been missing. Am I crazy? Do you not even like her?). It's also possible I was uploading something for you instead. BUT UH, somehow in the process of all that we kept using icons from all each other's fandoms. I think the word soulmates was used, but we did not become friends.

Anyway the second time you posted, I MAY OR MAY NOT (I cannot confirm or deny this part of the story) have looked for an excuse to comment on it. But! I actually keep a ljtoys account not so that I can look at who's stalking me but to track my own friendings, and since it said we friended each other on February 28, 2008, I found the post (http://community.livejournal.com/album_love/4661090.html)! MAGIC.

...I have a weirdly awesome memory? I don't know why I always feel awkward when I know answers like this?

AND NO I CANNOT BELIEVE IT. I have been holding out hope that you'd be here more frequently once you were done doing AWESOME THINGS in England this semester.

[identity profile] allibabab.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
holy sweet jesus, so many things to reply to. firstly, your memory is the greatest thing i have ever encountered because a) you remembered that our first conversation sprung from lisa loeb, and b) you remembered my username well enough to comment a second time so that we could begin what is clearly destined to be a glorious friendship. and how do i know that our first meeting had lisa loeb? why, i found the first post (http://community.livejournal.com/album_love/4373594.html?thread=50373722#t50373722)! not by magic, like you, but with the skills that only show themselves when extreme boredom is at hand (namely, dull, dumb perseverance). why did we not add each other that first time? the world works in such mysterious ways.

ALSO, HI, YOU ARE THE REASON I HAVE THE MISSY HIGGINS CD? THE GIRL WHO IS THE LATEST AND GREATEST LOVE OF MY MUSICAL LIFE? I JUST- DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS INFORMATION.

aaaaaand the whole reason i thought in the first place to comment on this entry and then promptly forgot to when i actually wrote out a comment? was to say something about how i used to be obsessed with the parent trap when i was about 12 and now thinking about that movie just makes me really kind of sad.

AND LASTLY, i'm still in england, so. that's probably why you haven't seen much of me. now that the end of term is nearing i might be on more, though! but, uh. no promises.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh I am SO SO glad you went and found that! And that the link to it will be here, in this post where I can find it, from now on (the commas in that sentence are weird, but I don't know how to fix them). But yeah, I do not understand why we didn't friend each other the first time. LAME. We cheated ourselves out of six months.

APPARENTLY!! I am not at all surprised you adore her (I do too), I always think of your music taste as girls with pretty voices who sing pretty songs. Which is maybe an oversimplification. But.

I'm kind of pre-emptively sad about the next time I actually watch Parent Trap, because I know it's going to be different and less silly because she died. I was totaaaaally obsessed with it too. I spent like a year telling my mom I wanted a haircut JUST LIKE LINDSAY LOHAN'S. Weirdly I don't think I ever got it?

Oh okay! When do you get back? I always assume everyone gets out around the same time I do, which is kind of narcissistic but frequently true. (I got out last week.)

[identity profile] allibabab.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
not an oversimplification, more like... exactly true. it wasn't until i signed up for last.fm that i realized just how much of my music collection consists of female singer-songwriters with acoustic guitars and pianos. it is a scarily significant amount. and now i'm trying to think how i would describe my perception of your musical taste. i think you once described it as "cool kid indie stuff"? i'm going to go with that. bands with cool names that i've never heard of.

OH LORD, I FORGOT ABOUT THE HAIR, WITH THE BANGS ON ONE SIDE. i doubt there was a single girl who watched that who did not afterwards beg her mom for that exact haircut. i wonder how many actually got it because, yeah, i definitely didn't. also, if you want a shock, type in 'lindsay lohan parent trap' on google and compare the young girl to the current girl. it is a jarring experience.

i'm back home either end of june or end of july, depending on whether i decide to go to alaska with my mom for july. but no, you're right, if i had been at school at home i would've gotten out last week. all of my friends on facebook had their status set to 'yayyy, i'm freeeee, no more school or exams haha it's so warm ha' while i sat writing an essay and studying for my exams which aren't for another two weeks. oh, and did i mention it hasn't been above 70 degrees yet? but... still. it's england. i'm happy. and not allowed to complain.


... accidentally posting as a new comment and not as a reply: FAIL.

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that's a pretty apt description of my taste, except then I go and destroy my cool indie vibe by listening to a lot of really awful pop.

OH GOSH, look how cute she was! She didn't know how to make her whorish face yet. Aww.

Yeah, England is worth a couple extra weeks of school and some cold weather, NO QUESTION. I anticipate your return whenever it is, friend!

[identity profile] sunshine-song.livejournal.com 2009-06-02 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Since we both share a love of a certain, ridiculously good looking individual who happens to be a CIA agent, we should be friends. And you seem cool.

[identity profile] myr-soleil.livejournal.com 2009-09-07 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I added you because of your great FNL picspam and the fact that we seem to share similar interests (namely: TVVVV)! No pressure to add me back though, especially since my LJ is in French. I am content with your public stuff! :)

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't mind adding you! I read french well enough so that's not an issue, and you seem cool so... hey! I'm Alex.

[identity profile] myr-soleil.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Great, that's awesome! It's actually the second time that I add someone and say "don't worry about hurting my feelings, my LJ is in French!" and then I find out through more thorough stalking that they are doing a French major or something. So, hi! I'm Mireille! And I am very flattered that I seem cool.

[identity profile] folding.livejournal.com 2009-10-17 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
We have several friends in common plus lots of shared interests. Add?

[identity profile] elapses.livejournal.com 2009-10-17 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure!
