"Why" Meme

[author_by_night]

Stolen from akashasheiress:

Why am I on your friends list?

Comment, then post this in your journal and see what people say about you.

Do it! :) I'm curious.

ETA: And nobody take offense, but please filter me from further subject on the whole "JKR is teh anti-fat" thing.I know I've probably ranted enough to bring enough of it on myself, but... it's getting old. I don't want to hear any more about it than I have to.

Again, nobody take offense, I'm just sick of seeing it everywhere, and something new relating to it.

Harry Potter, SugarQuill, fandom commentary...

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks!:)

[talimeeka.livejournal.com]

Because you're so caring and sweet. Plus I always find your opinions on HP and fandom so interesting.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks.

My opinions on fandom, interesting? I was thinking boring rants, but cool! ;)

[locked-door998.livejournal.com]

Because you're just plain cool, and you the first Quilly person to IM me! :D

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D And I love IMing.

[stmargarets.livejournal.com]

It was the Quill.

[rocknroll5s.livejournal.com]

You are on my f-list because:

1) You are obsessed with Harry Potter, which rocks my world and
2) You have a cool name :)

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Wait - which name? *Our* name (Amy), or this one?

[rocknroll5s.livejournal.com]

*our* name!! haha.

[barbara-the-w.livejournal.com]

For you are a dreamer by day and an author by night.
and one of the **nicest** people I ever Quilled with.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Aww... thanks, Barb. You're so sweet.

[a-t-rain.livejournal.com]

Because you friended me! (Actually, that's the reason everybody is on my friends-list, because I'm usually too shy to friend people outside of designated friending frenzies, and rarely even then.) And also because you're cool, of course.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

[valerie-valerah.livejournal.com]

Cuz I like you :P

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

[purple-ladybug1.livejournal.com]

Why I friended you: Because you friended me first, jumped in with relevant and caring comments, and had interesting posts.

Why we're still friends: Because you still have interesting posts, because you seem to genuinely care about your friends, and because I'm come to care about you.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[delleve.livejournal.com]

Because you have a huge heart and your posts are always very smart and witty and generally cool.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks. :)

Hey, what's your avatar of? Itlooks familiar. (It'd probably be easier to tell if I had my glasses on, of course...)

[petitecrivan.livejournal.com]

You're on my flist because you're a subber and we have intersting discussions. :D

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

:)

[bookbug87.livejournal.com]

Because you're a fellow quiller and subber, of course! Plus you have interesting posts :^)

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Hehe, thanks.

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

Because I checked my userinfo one day and noticed you friended me :)

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

:)

[tipsytoe.livejournal.com]

In this order:

1) You were from the Quill.

2) The only subber (which I wasn't even aware you were so that validates my point even more) that didn't post any subber-related topics so I, as a non-subber back then, really appreciated it.

3) Now, you're what I would consider a friend, and you will stay on my flist.

And, you're fantastic with fandom. You write fanfictions, you post fandom rants, and encourages people with your HP challenges. Overall, all things great. :)

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

2) The only subber (which I wasn't even aware you were so that validates my point even more) that didn't post any subber-related topics so I, as a non-subber back then, really appreciated it.

Aw. Well, I don't really know what I would post that's sub-related anyway. I do a lot of SQ related stuff, but that's about it. I have a lot of people on the flist who don't even go to Sugar Quill, let alone the 87 stuff, so they'd be more than lost.

Anyway - thanks!

[tiny-wings.livejournal.com]

Because we have a friend in common (Denny)

[ronluvshermione.livejournal.com]

Because you were one of my first subber friends, and it's always cool to talk to you. You have interesting things to say, and you listen when I need to talk! And you called me!! *huggles wub*

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Thanks - and hey, of course I called you! :)

[ronluvshermione.livejournal.com]

If you ever need me to call, just say so, and I will. :)

[ghostlygrove.livejournal.com]

'Cause you're my friend, silly! ^^

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

:)

[artistic-julie.livejournal.com]

Because we met through Denny!
And because you love Harry Potter! And you always have interesting entries!

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

I can't remember who added who first here, but I think it was because you're a Quiller.

You've stayed because you're not an exceptional asshole you're smart, funny and a great friend (and very kre8tyve).

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

And you're not an asshole either, Dina. *Hugs*

[starpaint.livejournal.com]

'cause I like you and consider you to be a friend. Friends list. List of friends. Yes?

*hugs*

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

*Hugs*

[ahavah]

Because you're freaking awesome.

[shalli.livejournal.com]

Hmm... good question. I think *ponders* that I met you via Echo in a chat on AIM... *grins* and you're still on my friend list because a) you're interesting, b) you're nice, and c) you're a good person to talk to, even if we don't talk that often.

All of which, I think, adds up to being a friend, which is - as numerous people above have noted - what a friend list is supposed to be for.
