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?

Re: I'm grab a seat in the corner
Lar, my first friend on LJ! Let me love you *hugs* You were the first to friend me and I think one of the first to talk to me here in this lovely bar. May I grab the seat next to you?

I adore your stories, they give me all the feels <3 And I would love to have a dog too, but mine would have to be big :)

Re: I'm grab a seat in the corner
I was in a "By golly, I'm going to friend someone" mood that day! :D I'm so glad it turned out so well! Yes, by all means, come and sit! We have a view of the whole place.

I adore my dog so much. I got her when I was living by myself so she was my bestest friend for awhile. She's got one of those faced that smiles when I talk so I told her everything. Still do, really. She's getting older and I worry about her but I wouldn't trade get for the world!

My family is very much a big dog family so Spencer and I get mocked. :)

Re: I'm grab a seat in the corner
Whew, then I'm glad you chose me to friend that day ;) Like the view, by the way, these seats are awesome!

I totally understand, I adored ours as well, he was 3 when we got him from the pound and he stayed with us for all of glorious and chaotic 12 years until he died 3 years ago. And he was a big dog, I'm talking about 75-80 pounds of beautiful Hovawart-Newfoundland mix :) He also had that kind of expressive face, so I totally understand how you feel about your dog, she sounds lovely! My American hostfamily had a Chihuahua, I loved Porky when I was staying with them! I live by myself too, which is also the reason why I won't get a dog, I'm out of the house for up to 10 hours a day, it would not be fair for the dog, I think... But I'm volunteering at an animal shelter in town, taking the dogs for walks, so that is at least something :) Oh crap, there I went again with some word vomit, I apologize, can't help myself when talking about Lasse...

Re: I'm grab a seat in the corner
You can always tell a lot about a person by how they treat their dog! And getting to share your love with so many animals who desperately need it is AWESOME!

Lar: Your "Such Lost Creatures" is an absolute fave of mine. I've got a fire going on here, can I bring it to the corner where you and shenshen are sitting?? :-)

Re: I'm grab a seat in the corner
Yes, yes! Bring the warmth!

Thank you so much! That story is a favorite of mine, as well. Just one of the many great ideas I got from that wondrous promptathon! I can't wait for the Second Annual!
