Aww, we just do this: calling all shy stalkers *waves*

And I'll add that to my icon to-make list. I'm short on requests and I needs them for more second promptathon batch, so yell if you want any more as well :)

YAY! I approve of this. For all my silly antics, I am rather shy when it comes to actually friending people. :)

I know, it's like, I dunno, 'I don't wanna, like, inflict myself on people' *g*

My default position is more, 'you wanna be friends?! Really? Yay! *friends you back*' hee I feel like that's just polite, what with being new and relatively uninteresting so far. But basically this is just a whole new format in which to feel socially anxious. Snort. I'm so ridiculous....

THIIIISSS!! You have summed up the dilemma perfectly! You are not ridiculous, you are prescient!

I keep trying to talk myself into just friending people and letting the chips fall where they may! Social anxiety: I haz it!

*lurks by the jukebox, eavesdropping and pretending to look for Golden Earring's 'Twilight Zone'*

HA!! Well look, all I know about you is that you seem to appreciate good grammar and correct spelling. I ALSO appreciate good grammar and correct spelling. So... let's be friends :)

Funny thing is, I'm quite good at being a real person, but when it comes to the internet, I'm like *don't. offend. anyone!!!* hehe Which is why I love this place so much, cos everyone's just gorgeous!

Hee! Friending memes usually do all this right up front, don't they?

Hi! I'm from Texas, work in a bookstore, am awake most of the night, spend an insane amount of time reading or watching scifi/fantasy, fanfiction, and the occasional graphic novel. I love the Avengers, 80's New Wave (music of my youth!), and sleeping in.

And, Woman, I fucking love Jeremy fucking Renner *gigglesnort*

Also, you are TOO RIGHT! This bar is a font of awesomeness such as LJ has NEVER SEEN BEFORE!

Friends!

OK, I am also a *gigglesnort*er from way back, so this only bodes well!

I'm Australian, so your being awake most of the night possibly explains how we're talking right now :) I'm still feeling my way in fandom, I've only been round these parts a couple of months, but I've been loving all kinds of shows and shipping in isolation for lot longer than that. Pilots (BSG Starbuck/Apollo) trauma brought me here, now I stay for the fangirl good times. And the pretty. And I JUST saw Bourne Legacy, and now I fucking love Jeremy Fucking Renner even more.

So, hello and yay for new friends!

\o/ \o/ \o/

Australians and Texans have a lot in common, I think! - people always expect exaggerated accents, funny hats, and that we've all got longhorns/kangaroos in our backyards! ( I think the stuff about innate friendliness and an appreciation of the wide open horizon is kinda possibly true, in a general way. Let's just say there are an awful lot of very independent people wearing either boots or flipflops around these parts ;D )

I've been mostly lurking in Supernatural fandom for several years, but I loved the Avengers (and the cast!) SO MUCH, I've been hanging 'round these parts just ~marinating~ in the fabulousness of the Avenger fangirls! AND the JRenner gifs!

ahem - I may have forgotten to warn for the general slashiness of parts of my journal, since I basically ship ALL the ships in Avengers fandom. They are just too fantastic for me to limit myself *is greedy fangirl* I had basically forgotten that warning for that is a thing that is a thing for those new in fandom - I hope that's not too upsetting?

hehe - aww you're sweet to warn, thankyou. But don't worry too much about me - I'm a big girl, I can avert my eyes if I can't handle what I'm seeing :D I've just met another Supernatural fandom girl (and fellow LJ Aussie) who was very convincing about that particular show, too. Maaaaay have to add it to the list.

people always expect exaggerated accents, funny hats, and that we've all got longhorns/kangaroos in our backyards!
heee - so true. Depending on the part of the country, definitely plenty of boots here too. And flipflops everywhere, altho of course for us, they're thongs. I love vernacular variation. :) And I think you're right about the wide open horizons (and also big blue skies :) ) - they're a state of mind as much as an environment.

So nice to make your acquaintance! :D

This is me too. I'm all "is it presumptuous if I say I want to be friends?"

And the dumb thing is, everytime someone says to me "do you want to be friends" I'm all "YAY! Someone thinks I look cool/seem interesting/am nice/whatever!" Why doesn't it occur to me that they might feel the same way if I asked them?

DERP.

I AM FRIENDING YOU!

Those of us over here by the Dart Board should support one another!

I AM FRIENDING YOU RIGHT BACK!

Yay!

\o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/

YOU ARE AWESOME!

Amen! Let the friending commence! :D

Awww, really? I wouldn't have thought. *hands you a packet of darts* Untie the shy folks, m'dear :)

*waves* :)

Hey Inks... if you're still taking requests, are there any pics you've come across that'd work for a sort of 'hmm/pensive/thoughtful/*chews pen*' kind of icon? I feel like after outright flail/'I love all the things' that's my next most frequent feeling round here. If nothing springs to mind, don't waste any energy on it, but thought I might throw if out there :)

Yep, still taking requests! Technically always taking requests in these parts *grins*. Will add it to my list and keep an eye out for anything that might work. Were you thinking Renner or Scarlett in particular?

Hmm... (see, no kidding, I really need a 'hmm' icon! :) ) Scarlett maybe? Just because I feel she is sadly underrepresented in my iconage so far... but really anything would be gratefully received :) thank you muchly!

Yeah, I've been thinking I need to do more Scarlett to balance out the Renner *grins*.

Heh. You know what? I'm not sure that 'balance' and 'the renner' are capable of coexisting round these parts. For the record, I am totally ok with that, btw.
