ATTF: friending time.

Greetings, best bar on earth!!  Man I have missed this place. This time of year is always so crazy-busy, and there's always so much to get done that it seems to fly by in a kind of haze (I know I've pretty much been doing my own zombie walk just trying to make it through, and a huge shoutout to Bob for some much needed fic therapy; it's totally keeping my ass sane right now.)

But how goes it, y'all? [livejournal.com profile] shenshen77and I were talking the other day and she had mentioned that we hadn't had a good old-fashioned friending meme in a while, and I thought that sounded like a dandy idea. I also think we need a good impromptu dance party and a chance to chat and hang out with old friends and make new ones and just be our awesome selves.

So please come by and introduce yourself. Say a few words about how you found this place or this ship and what your interests are. Check out other people's comments. Feel free to stalk them (in a non-creepy and completely respectful way) and comment crash-- hell, this place was built on comment-crashing (you think I'm kidding but I'm not.) There is no form to fill out becuase I'm allergic to forms. Free jazz all the way, bb. ;)

ETA on the introductions: no need to go into detail on the personal stuff. share as much as you feel comfortable with. i always like being a little cautious on that front, this being the internets and all. <3

Pics, gifs, randomness, chitchat, melarkly, and general bedlam are always encouraged. I've missed you guys. <3

ALSO-- I'm posting a sign-up sheet in the comments for future ATTF posts. We have had some amazing guest hosts and I thank each and every one of you. Y'all are constantly raising the level of discourse (and squee) around here and it's awesome. So for anyone thinking about signing up-- don't be a stranger, m'kay?

Getting paid is a glorious novelty at the minute. Sometimes I sit there and I'm like 'I am earning money right. now.' :D

Haha, now I just have this rather bizarre mental image of him riding a gigantic arrow. Not that it's a bad thing, but still. Weird.

Everything can be iconned, and I agree, that stuff totally should be :) Yay icons!

I can sooooo relate to that, it's an awesome feeling!

I like that image, like really like it *grins*

Yay icons indeed! But I'm going on holidays tomorrow, driving to see a friend in Switzerland, I don't have time to icon right now :( But I definitely will make these!!!!

It really is!

Obviously, his shirt went missing when he took off on the giant flying arrow. NATURALLY.

I hope you have a great time on holiday!! And yaaaaaaay for icons.

Yes, obviously, like how could it stay on at that velocity, right? TOTALLY OBVIOUS!

Thank you, I hope I will too :D I've been invited to celebrate Hanukkah with her family and I am really curious about that :)

ICONS ARE LOVE! YAY :D

The shirt stood no chance. It was unnecessary to even put it on, really.

Oh wow, sounds great! How lovely to have been invited! And I'm sure you'll have a fab time.

ICONS ARE LOVE. FIC IS LOVE. THIS BAR, IS LOVE.

Why he even bothered, we will never now. *shakes head at futility of putting shirts on Renner*

I know, I am excited! And they have 2 m of snow, which is also a definite plus! I love snow :D

ALL THE LOVE, ALL THE TIME!

Snow! That's even better. England's just kinda cold and frosty at the mo.

Germany is kinda the same, although we had some awesome snow coming down yesterday :) It was all melted today, but it is freezing... Really needed that Gluhwein earlier :D

All the love... all of it!

Ah, still though, you got snow! If it ever does snow in my part of Blighty, it tends to be closer to the new year than actually Christmastime. Which is still fun, just not Christmas :)Ah! And I've had some Gluhwein from the German Christmas Market. It was goood. :D

Well, around these parts, anything can happen snowwise ;) 20 cm in an hour or none for a whole year... and usually it also only comes after Christmas, which yeah, as you said :)

Glad you liked it, mine was really good to, good wine from a local vineyard, just enough spices and not too sweet :D Yummy!

Hanukkah is fun! Fab food, too. Bring diet drinks, :-)

I am really looking forward to it! She's already threatening me with latkes and sufganiyot, I will be sure to pack the Coke Zero I have in my fridge right now ;) And we are gonna go hiking in the snow, burn off all those pesky calories ;))))
