we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out

Hi

[fo-sho222.livejournal.com]

i agree totaly my journal at the moment is fiction but its changeing to my journal you know what i mean

[kalmialatifolia]

*peer* iiii might've had to check out your profile upon your mentioning something in metaquotes because i am a total dooooork. and. er. well. i can has?

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

You definitely can has, if you like~

Um... even though there's a decent likelihood I might disappoint and also now I'm kind of scared I'll make you angry sometime but that's a normal issue anyway so yeah, *adds*

[kalmialatifolia]

...you too? we'll get along just fine, then.

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

yay?

[augustfalcon.livejournal.com]

Heyy, I see you around writing places a lot and we follow each other on twitter - mind if I add you? Otherwise I am going to keep getting confused as to who you are. :P

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

:D Go ahead!

Hello

[butterflyekiss.livejournal.com]

Hello, it's Butterflykiss from the WriYe forums. Your page is gorgeous! :)

[shiruartist.livejournal.com]

Hello bitty!c.
Um. My name is Shiru (though I seem to be liking the name MAC a lot more, recently). I found you through Marika Kailaya and you look Interesting.
The journal shiruartist doesn't get really updated a lot, but verboten_mac is relatively new and has cussing and cranky. >->
HEY HEY HEY DO YOU WANT TO BE MY STEPDAUGHTER? I KNOW RIKA SAID YOU WERE HIS NEW DAUGHTER YOU WANNA BE MY STEPDAUGHTER? =D I CAN, LIKE, WRITE YOU STUFF OR SOMETHING, NEW STEPDAUGHTER.
(I might have ADHD and thus, issues with impulse control >_>)
(BUT HI YOU LOOK SHINY. *BOUNCY*)

hiiiiii

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

Hello Shiru/Mac/oh dear writing things this way is making it look like a ship to me/are you a ship? or on a boat or something? I just typed that as 'on a bat'. 'I'm on a bat'? Maybe I shouldn't be replying to this at eleven pm. Er. Hi.

*nods* I, er. Would it be weird to say I recognized you? 'Cause I did!

*pokes around* ...That is some impressive cussing and cranky.

OKAY!

(:D No worries! I just feel kind of odd for the relatively short answer, to be honest as an honest C. To continue being honest as an honest C, it amuses me for some reason that you called me bitty!C, as to date Rika's the only other person who's done that. Hee.)

(*grin* ah, no, that's just the oily skin you're seeing :P er, I meant that as a joke. Especially on the fact that the real-life bitty!mom often says "you've been looking shiny". Um.)

Re: hiiiiii

[shiruartist.livejournal.com]

=D
I'm apparently part of someone's personal ship? (shipped with the Rika<3) ^^ BAT SHIP. WHEN BATMAN HAS WINGS THAT DO NOT WORK.

No it wouldn't. It's actually pretty NEAT. ^_^

*cough* >_> I'm like a soda bottle; the angry gets shaken up. The journal essentially popped off the top? (er.)
(shiruartist lj is not as explosive/cranky/cussing every other post, but that journal doesn't get updated as much anymore)

COOOOOOOL. I HAS A STEPDAUGHTER. *HUGS!*

(ohhh. I thought that was your name. >> AND I SEE YOU ARE AMUSED SO I AM GOING TO CONTINUE CALLING YOU BITTY!C. ^____^)

(^_____^)

Re: hiiiiii

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

I SHIP IT. :D and apparently am part of someone's ship myself, so.

Cool! (I, er, kind of recognized you as "Oh, it's Rika's girlfriend who Rika's adorable with, awwright!", so. Um. Yep.)

*grins* See, that's pretty much the reason why this one's friendsonly (rarely being motivated to post when I'm not frothing at the mouth, be it frothing at Jim Butcher or at my parents or teachers or "HAY LJ COULD YOU PLZ TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY BRAIN BECAUSE OW LATELY"), so. *can definitely understand that and is not even being very daunted by the cussing and cranky, go her?*

(Soooomehow I think these facts are related.)

=D. *hugs back!* So what do I call you? Rhys or Shiru or Mac or...?

(I CAN RUN WITH THAT. And no, C's my name*, it's that Rika, er, kind of made the observation that I am tiny [only with more capslock] and that my family is tiny [hence referring to them as the bitty!family, with bitty!mom, bitty!dad, and lessbitty!cousins all], and apparently it is sticking like a sticky thing.)

(=D.)

*Okay, it's actually my first initial. Same difference.

Re: hiiiiii

[shiruartist.livejournal.com]

COOL. With whoooo? :D

(AHAHAHA Yeeesss ♥)

(I've got Bipolar 2 and ADHD... so I can understand crazy moods and moodswings and having an ow. >-> *WOO HOO*)(Iiiif you ever want to talk? Feel free to email me? ^^)

(Most of shiruartist's old friends would have likely backed away slowly if I did post with the cussing and cranky. :/)

I AM CURRENTLY PREDISPOSED TO TITLING MYSELF SHIRU BECAUSE OF MY PRESENT GENDER, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE. ^_____^ (er. I am pangender. So my gender can change periodically. >>)

(BITTY!C. *GLOMPS*)

Re: hiiiiii

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

The Boy, usually. Who will, er, turn up a lot. *ponders* Although I guess if one's into hateshipping I've even got that (the one I refer to as The Coral Reef).

(<3!)

(...Iiii might take you up on that? I kind of need all the points of reference I can get. Also, yay for stuff I figured out by reading the current entries of verboten_mac as they were when you left the original comment! ...I read very fast and have not much to do, a lot of the time.)

(well, see, if I start out with someone with the cussing and cranky I'm not unnerved. See also: Rika. if someone switched it might startle me, though. so. that's a shame about them, though D:)

OKAY. (No worries! ...the random panic attacks over gender are why I use this initial, even.)

(*is glomped* Hee.*)

*Since I like footnotes and generally feel the need to provide ~empirical evidence~ as to why my family may be considered bitty:

my mom's 4'11"; her mom's 4'8"; my dad's 5'6"-7"ish, and I'm wandering around 5'4" but look shorter. so. *likes citing heights. and shoe sizes. er. it's a minor fixation?*

Re: hiiiiii

[shiruartist.livejournal.com]

OOOOoooooo! *might have to join in shipping The BoyxC*

(*thinks.* Do you have a Dreamwidth account? I don't know how helpful it would be, but I have mental fuckity and poking at it on a Dreamwidth account. The attempts at writing are public, but the mental stuff is privated, and I could give you access to see it. Though the more recent stuff is terribly depressing. >>)

(MUAHAHAHA Rika! ♥ I need to go find her and glomp her cranky ass When I first got the shiruartist account, I... didn't have Bipolar as such. Or depression. And I didn't know that I had ADHD. And I was a... much more pleasant? person.)

YAY FOR GENDER NEUTRAL NAMES!

(I think I'mma just ADOPT YOU WITH RIKA AND CALL YOU MY DAUGHTER. HELLO NEW DAUGHTER. YOU WILL BE GETTING GLOMPED/HUGGED SEMI-REGULARLY)

I has a fascination with metaphors! And I love being tall and having big feet. I am a giant for the average of bio-women everywhere at 5'10" and look more like 5'11" and I wear size 11 wide/12 wide shoes in womens

[lady-macbeth-19.livejournal.com]

We seem to have a lot of things in common and I love your writing on RaTs. Friends? =D
XxLil

Re: hiiiiii

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

...it's getting to be a popular ship! huh.

(in actual fact I do! although, um, I've been neglecting it even more than LJ due to the not-on-my-own-computer thing, but... D:)

(*hopes you succeeded at the finding-and-glomping! *cannot think of a reply, so offers sympathy and sadface and hopes that works*)

YAY INDEED!

(I SEE NO PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THIS.)

*grins* metaphors are fun! especially, er, ones with weird references like a sandwich and I swear that comparison made sense in my head. also, you are very tall. *awe* (admittedly, I wear 8.5/9 wides, so yeah.)

capcha: 'kick also'. um.

Re: hiiiiii

[shiruartist.livejournal.com]

*IS ROOTING FOR YOU AND THE BOY*

(On DW, my account name is roughdraft_mac So if you want, you can subscribe/add/friend what have you and I'll give you access. ^^)

*DID SUCCEED AT FINDING AND GLOMPING. =D* *HUGS*

YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE HAS LAYERS? SANDWICHES HAVE LAYERS! *is waiting for the inevitable confusion*
Occasionally, I like to pretend I am Godzilla or something. This was especially awesome when they lowered the height of the shelving units at the store where I work. So now I can see OVER THEM. I AM GODZILLAAA! RAWR! RAWR! XD

Re: hiiiiii

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

now, if only the Boy knew as much about the situation as the Internet-at-large does...

(okay! *can has*)

HOORAY! *hugs back*

SO DO PHOTOSHOP FILES. also, *snrk*

Re: hiiiiii

[shiruartist.livejournal.com]

YES.

(*HAS GRANTED YOU ACCESS* Uhm. be warned. there is emo and depression.)

WOULD YOU LIKE FIC I CAN WRITE YOU FIC?
(prompt me! =D)

muahahahaha!

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind that it might be a little while before I get back to reading my friends-list, of course! :) (I swear that sentence made sense in my head.)

Re: hiiiiii

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

if he had an lj he would be so much more enlightened it would be like what. --and maybe his spelling would be better. >_>

(*is warned!*)

*offers the randomprompt doc she has going?*

=D

sorry for how long it took me to reply by the way, no idea why i just -- forgot. er. bad c. :/

[sassypantsu.livejournal.com]

I was just thinking, it was pretty awesome chatting with you back there. I'm trying to motivate myself into starting up my LJ account again, but I'm just here to say, you were really cool, and thanks for the love, even among all the hate.

[rohanfox.livejournal.com]

This is going to sound totally weird and stalker-ish, but hi. Basically, I was trolling through hate memes and such and saw you being all pro!teenage writers and I just wanted to give you a massive hug. God, you got such undeserved hate for that.

Anyway, moral of the story is, I was being nosy on your userinfo and you just seem like somebody I'd love to know ♥ you like good literature (oh God Alice in Wonderland ftw) and the way you describe yourself is basically like you're describing me.

So I was wondering if I could add you? I know this is so out of the blue, but really, you just seem like somebody I'd like to talk to. It's hard finding younger people on LJ who aren't completely pretentious bad!fic writing dicks :')

I'm 16, btw :)

Thanks! <3

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

i don't think that sounds weird at all! (mind you, i would probably be likely to do this sort of thing if i had the spine to, so. not exactly the best source, me.) *grins* also, thank you. to be honest after doing that i felt like kind of an idiot -- was fairly sure i made one out of myself, even -- so it's lovely to know there are people who don't think i was pretty much the antichrist for doing it =) (okay, okay, so i had fun. that was a joke. i'm not sure if it shows that it was a joke. er. *worries*)

alice in wonderland ftw! (question: wonderland or through the looking glass?)

well. first i guess i'll have to warn you that at the moment my journal's half-inactive -- i just started a new school and insert whatever excuse also applies at the moment (i've had a semi-continuous excuse since january. speaking of which: [random wisdom] lemon-and-honey tea on a laptop is a bad idea![/random wisdom]) -- so i am probably not going to be the most active flist... y... person. but you look interesting, and i like meeting new people, so, er, if you aren't bothered by that, go ahead!

we're a year apart! i'm not sure why i think that's awesome, there's fifteen- and sixteen-year-olds everywhere, but i do. so.

=)

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

i'm sorry i never replied to this, but i wanted to say that i enjoyed talking to you too. love-bombing hatememes ftw. <3

good luck restarting your journal! *needs to do that. er.*

[madinaoblivion.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, I love your header, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, you are great.

[aeromachia.livejournal.com]

hey! you PM'd me but your privacy settings mean I can't message you back - here's what I was going to say anyway :)
GOSH, HELLO! man homestuck fans are ALL UP IN EVERYWHERE these days, but it is still nice to meet a stray one. um hmmm well my fantasy project is at the moment recorded on tumblr (chrysomelia.tumblr.com) if you are interested in that! I also post stuff on my deviantart (chrysomelia.deviantart.com) and twitter (twitter.com/chrysomelia.... you may be sensing a pattern here)

(oh also since you are an MSPA fan I do have a bunch of fanart archived at my old devart account, http://aeromachia.deviantart. I had a brief flush of ~~fandom fame~~ a few months ago, haha)


SO YEAH YOU SEEM PRETTY NICE, SHALL WE GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER? (I am 20 and I live in England and I am doing English Literature at university, that is basically all there is to know. I AM QUITE TEDIOUS REALLY)

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

oh my gosh hi! i keep forgetting to change them back and then i was a weird combination of forgetful and shy and didn't reply to this at all, i'm sorry! HI

it seems to be basically the most widespread fandom i have ever been in! other than... harry potter i guess? but that is a force of nature really, everybody knows it. sort of. um. NICE TO MEET YOU TOO and also i should go add you there! both theres. (i'm call-me-al on tumblr and darklylaquered on twitter, so you're warned if i, uh, actually do the thing!)

(...holy crap your art is amazing. i love what you do with light and colour especially. by which i mean brb, dead.)

THIS IS TOTALLY BELATED BUT THAT WOULD BE AWESOME, HELLO (i am 15-almost-16 and i live in mexico and i'm doing a somewhat ridiculous high school! I DO NOT THINK YOU SEEM TEDIOUS also haha blatantly stealing your format yey)

capcha due to me being a derp and not having logged in: enough deallso. the capchas want me to man up and say hi to you too! WELL THEN.
