A question for anyone who reads this journal...

[candyland]

Sorry about the freak-out, guys. Some really crappy stuff happened at school today, is all. And I really need to A) stop taking stuff so personally, and B) stop making LJ posts when I'm upset, because I know damn well that I'll cool off sooner or later, and then feel like an ass because I made my friends worry D:

I'm currently in a chat with jeva_chan and fyliwionvilyaer (and FYI, this is the latest I have willingly stayed up in AGES), and it got me to thinking. So I thought I'd toss the question up here and see what everyone says...

How did you and I meet? It could be face-to-face, or it could be simply via the interwebs. People I know "in real life," how did we meet? People on the good ol' f-list, how did we become LJ friends? Lurkers (if there are any), how did you wind up on my little corner of the internet?

I'm very curious, and I hope some of you will answer ~♥♥♥

WE TOTALLY SPAMMED SOCCHAN'S POST THAT ONE TIME IN MC1T, YO.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

THAT WAS OF THE AWESOME! I SHOULD FIND THAT POST AGAIN SOMETIME AND READ ALL THE COMMENTS, JUST FOR FUN! ~♥♥♥

[fyliwionvilyaer.livejournal.com]

You messaged me and I went WAIAAHAWIAHAIAHAI and fell out of my chair and then went around bragging to my friends that Candy-chan messaged me XD

*cuddles*

And this is why live journal is live "journal"it is like online emo site of the web. XD Its here to write depressing or scary or upsetting things... *luffs* do not feel bad for doing so... sometimes well all need ventalation

*LGOMPS*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

*giggles* I remember finding you on LJ and going ZOMG SHE EEZ A SWEETHEART!! ...did I poke you on LJ first? Or AIM? I can't remember... *pets*

It wasn't even really venting. It was more me taking things too damn personally. I need to get over that--it's a bad, stress-causing habit v_v

[alena_s_anigor.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Glad you're feeling better today...it was one of those days...

How we met? Uhm...via magic_truth's LJ! I think we kind of started chatting about anime and manga and became friends a few hours later! XD

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I think it was one of those days XD

That's right! It was on her LJ, and we were talking about fandom! And then we ninja-friended each other! :DDD

[atiko.livejournal.com]

Very simple: I started stalking your LJ because your fanfics are love. :-)
Not sure how I found it, though. Probably via a link from ff.net.

And I'm with you on the topic of emo posts... I guess it happens to all of us. LJ kind of tempts you to whine about whatever is bothering you, and then you feel stupid afterwards. ^^;

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you!! *glomps* I love your fanarts~!

That's pretty much it in a nutshell *still feels sort of silly about the whole thing*

[articulation.livejournal.com]

We met because I was your fangirl. xDD I fangirled you on fanfiction.net (the horrors!) and then emailed you and you emailed back and I was beyond flustered because you were so amazing. And I delurked on lurker day and it has been hearts and candy ever since. ♥

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I remember that! *pokes* You're the only person I've ever met/talked to who can finish my ghost stories, too~!! *hugs* LOVES!

[djtifabal.livejournal.com]

I started stalking lurking on your LJ when I saw your plunnie icon over at too_many_claims. XD

A month or so later, I finally delurked on here. :P

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

One of my favorite icons~ ♥♥♥

Sorry I sort of suck at commenting on your LJ XD I'm almost a lurker there!

[axtar.livejournal.com]

(I FEEL LIKE CAPPING TODAY. CAP WITH MEEEE~ ♥)

I THINK I MET YOU ON FF.NET, YUS. I EITHER REVIEWED YOU FIRST OR VICE VERSA, BUT I WAS LIKE, 'ZOMG, CANDY-CHAN'S WORK IS MAJOR AWESOMENESS, I MUST RESPOND~'

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

(ALL RIGHTY, I WILL CAP WITH YOUUUUUUU~!!)

I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BECAUSE I LIKED YOUR CONAN FICLETS AND THEY MADE ME GO *HEARTHEART* AND THEN I THINK YOU FOUND ME ON LJ AND IT HAS BEEN LUFF EVER SINCE!

[keikeiaznqueen.livejournal.com]

Glad you're okay now. ^__^

We meet because of your fanfics!! They pwn some serious ass!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you!! *glomps*

[dagronrat.livejournal.com]

...
I can't remember. ;_;
Da*g cold... *snirf*

Something about purty shoes was it? Or was that after? HAVE PHOTOS NOW! :D

OH WAIT. NOW I REMEMBER. LURKER DAY! JEVA! \o/

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Actually...wasn't it a friending meme or something? *scratches head* Or maybe Lurker Day? And I think the pretty shoes came up shortly after we friended...

PRETTY SHOES PRETTY SHOES PRETTY PRETTIFUL PRETTY SHOES!!!

[cherelle-holmes.livejournal.com]

o__o i think you "found" me! *suddenly feels like a lost dog or something*
Yupp, you made this "Does anybody know cherelle"-post and Sorako
left a note for me on Animexx i should kindly go over to LJ and have
a look coz' someone want's to know my E-mail! (Which happened to be you~)
And since Cherry was lurking your FF.net account anyway - i wrote back!
And now we are friends! o__O We are! Are we!? *scratches head*

And don't feel sorry for getting emo on lj! XD It's better to write things off ya mind!
Always makes you feel better afterwards! *nods* - wish i could do something like that as well U__U

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

And to think all I wanted was your email address so I could poke you and let you know how awesome I thought your fanarts were! I didn't know you had an LJ! *glompluffle*

And yes, we are friends *squishies you*

*prods* You should make more posts on LJ about stuff that's going on in your life~! Though I do enjoy the fanarts liek whoa ~♥♥♥

[ran-dezvous.livejournal.com]

Let's see. . . . I first heard of you and your awesome fics through FF.N. About a year later, I got myself an LJ and thought of adding you to my f-list. Yup, I believe that's it.

. . . and we haven't chatted online, have we? (But you don't have Yahoo! Messenger.)

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Awesome awesome! Thank you!

And no, I don't have Yahoo. I'm starting to wonder if I should install it and get on there, since quite a few people seem to have it... XD

[bishonen-girl.livejournal.com]

Lets see, now we did not meet on line.
It was another day at school and I needed help in MATH, The one thing I can't do! The rest is history

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I was your tutor in high school, remember? *pokles* ♥♥♥ And when we ran into our counselor a couple years later at the mall, she seemed shocked that we were still friends ^_~

[writergurl.livejournal.com]

I believe we first met back in 6th grade, but were only kind of casual aquaintances until around 8th grade. I"m pretty sure the first time we actually hung out outside of school was 8th grade A-day, and we went to the American Steak Buffet and stuffed ourselves entirely too silly. I have pictures! lol

[writergurl.livejournal.com]

*wonders if I"m the only one so far who originally met you in real life*

[inquisitorial.livejournal.com]

I read your fanfics on FF.net and got inspired by your 30_kisses claim of ShinRan, so I made me an LJ to do the challenge and started stalking your journal afterwards!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!! I've had a couple of people tell me that they were inspired by my 30_kisses, and...I don't get it, but it's really flattering!! =^^=

*supports stalking...but not in the creepy way!*

[colorful-blade.livejournal.com]

eh heh, I kinda stalked you on ff.net ever since I read 'Tears of the Sea'...why aren't you like an English teacher? You're an amazing writer...then I found your LJ and then I got mine...but you never friended me back T__T

Glad you're feeling better, though!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Wow...Tears of the Sea feels like it was eons ago ^^;; But I'm still working on Song of the Wind, I promise! I thought about being an English teacher, but I went with music instead. No idea if it was the right choice or not... XD

I didn't? *goes to remedy*

Thanks! *snuggles*

[gomath02.livejournal.com]

How'd we meet? Two letters... PK. :)

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

*snickers* Oh lord...and lo, the two crazy ones did go from being the Awesome Ladies of the Alto II section who could totally overpower the entire rest of the Madrigal group to "They who were kicked out of choir rehearsal for doing what they were told."

Good times, good times~

*pokes* You keep calling me while I'm driving and can't answer the phone! =P

[jewelsybear1017.livejournal.com]

Oh I recall that fateful day when you were a freshman at BVU. You were stuck next to a chatty upperclassmen during choir rehearsal. Corruption was started at that moment. ;)

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

That's right! And then I introduced you to my parents as my primary corrupter...to which they said, "Hey, nice to meet you!" :D

[lightbird777.livejournal.com]

:D We actually haven't met in person - hee hee.

But I first became aware of your fics through fyliwionvilyaer who was reading and commenting on my Mulan fics on FFN (otherwise known as 'The Pit'). I started reading her fics and found yours through that (and loved reading them all).

We officially met because of the "plagiarism incident". So glad we did, even though the circumstances were an infuriating incident.:D

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

*looks at your profile* Yeah...New York's a bit of a jump from Iowa XD

I remember seeing your fics on 30_kisses, or rather on the update community, and I thought it was cool because I'd never really thought about Shang/Mulan as a pairing. And the fics were wonderful, so...I lurked.

And then the "plagiarism incident" happened--thanks again for the heads-up about that :) You're an awesome person and an awesome writer ~♥♥♥

[shubbimama.livejournal.com]

(* OMG crawls out of lurking-shadow *)

I found this LJ because of ff.net aaaaages ago... and have not delurked myself for dozens of lurker days -,- Was too shy, I guess, my ZOMG, you're fanfics are lovely :D

(now I just had to delurk!!)

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

*waves* Hi~!! Don't worry, we're lurker-friendly 'round these parts :D

Thank you very much! ^______^

[anrean.livejournal.com]

I think I found you on fanfiction a while back.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Awesome! :D

[girlquinn.livejournal.com]

It was a Lurker Day when we first met! I forgot which one but yeah! I found your fics on FF.Net and then I heard of Socchan's happy holiday of love! That's why I ended up de-lurking!

And yet we haven't chatted yet. Which is partly my fault, considering I don't sign on to MSN/YAHOO!/AIM/etc. a lot >=P.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

That's right! And I was all surprised because I was going to de-lurk on your LJ! *laugh* You beat me to it~ *ruffles your hair*

*small voice* I have you on my AIM...and I think I need to get Yahoo, since a lot of people seem to have it. Might go ahead and do that today ^_^

[rasgos-76.livejournal.com]

I don't remember... but I'm sure it had something to do with Jeva. :/

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I know I saw you on jeva_chan's LJ, and I think we were both teasing her about something. And then I started lurking at you =^^=

[frozen-ballad.livejournal.com]

Let me see... I believe I stalked you from FF.net to here and one day you IMd me and I was like "OMGZ! *DIEZ*" the end. :D

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

...your description = WIN AND AWESOME~!! :D :D :D

I think I met you...was it through Magic Knight Rayearth?

[thekellylynn.livejournal.com]

I met you at the first meeting we had for future Swope RA's. We were all gathered in Gretch's apartment and I heard someone mention anime. Having a cold and being pretty fuzzy, that was the only word that penetrated my foggy head. I sorta perked up was like, "Anime? We're going to get along just fine." And we have!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I remember that! And then...at some point didn't we wind up sitting on the floor in my dorm room just talking about random stuff for, like, an hour? *laugh* Or the night you helped me reorganize my room because I'm a weakling and can't move furniture ^^;;

Ghost Hunters Season Three (Part I, at least) and the Halloween Shining Hotel special are out in October! We must plan a weekend where either I breeze down there or you come up here and we have party~!! :D

yay friends!

[sarahkate-1206.livejournal.com]

i believe we met in choir... or though jewelsy... something of the such! :)

Re: yay friends!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Sounds about right! \o/ And I love your icon~!
