"Comment here and I'll tell you one thing that I like about you. Then go post it in your LJ and see who comments."

Also notice that I didnt comment in any of yours because I wanted to complment you first. I am a peach. Oops, I complimented myself.

I love how you do everything enthusiactically. It seems like the only way to be cool these days is to have this jaded and bored air of having already done everything so that every experience becomes an exercise in tedium. You don't do that. You seem to greet every experience with hope and a smile no matter haw many times you have "been there" and "done that". I really like that. Plus, your enthusiasm is contagious. There have been many times where, while going into a situation or activity in which I would rather stick a fork in my (I won't say eye....hmmmmm...rectum?) rectum than do, I looked at you, saw you smiling, and felt better about it. Thanks for that. Don't ever lose your sense of wonder.

Well Spanky Colada (remember that? good one.). I like you lots and lots and for lots of normal, mundane reasons. But, as usual, I have a maybe not-so-mundane reason to like you too. You are a walking, talking, human litmus test. No, I don't mean that you can detect the ph level of people by looking at them (what a lame x man power that would be). I mean that you are seemingly completely unafraid to let people know exactly what you think of them, usually within the first five minutes of meeting them, usually non-verbally, and you are almost always right about them. When we, as a group, meet someone new, I always look at your face, and if it is scrunching up, I know that my feelings that the person is a prick or a bad nerd or not worth my time are probably correct. Your face is like a canary in a coal mine. You know how when they would take them into coal mines to see if they would die of poison gas? Well your face works like that for me. People can be my poison gas, but if your face is scrunchy, I know to run away before their poison

I am not sure if you are aware of how much I love canaries in coal mines. A lot. Also, thank you.

I thought I was going to hold out from these compliment traps. I was wrong.

Holy crap Reggums. I like you for so many unusual reasons that it is hard to pick just one. I think what I like best about you is your almost uncanny ability to bend people to your will. And I SO don't mean that in a bad way. If you were an evil person with evil motives, your power would be diabolical. But the thing is, you are a great person with kind motives, so when you do your bending, it almost invariably cause the bendee to be bettered, or at least have a better time. I'll give you a small example. You say wacky, wacky shit in place of words. Usually, the wacky shit that you say in place of words is 1000 times longer than the word you are trying to replace. People actually have to work sometimes to understand what the fuck you are saying. But here's the thing: Not only do the people work to understand what you are saying, but they add the wacky shit to their lexicon until it becomes the standard instead of the outlandish. That is freaking genius Reg. And guess what? People who allow themselves to be influenced by you have more

Me this.

Again...really hard to pick just one thing since I have liked you longer than anyone else who has asked me to compliment them, and what I like best about you has changed many times. (Remember when it used to be that my favorite thing about you was that you said everything I could only think?). I think my favorite thing about you now is that you are the best quality control for ideas that I know. I think the reason for this is that you have so many ideas running through your mind all the time, that you needed to make your own quality control in your head so it wouldn't become overburdened. I think that anytime I ever had an idea and needed a sounding board, I would go to you first. I trust you absolutely to really consider ideas, think about them, know exactly what I want to accomplish with them, and make them better. That talent is so useful in this world, that I am obscenely jealous every time I think about you having it.

Yay! My first comment in your journal is a (not-so) veiled plea for validation! Go!

Nevermind. I just noticed this blog entry is over a month old. That's ancient! But I'm just now getting caught up with FNI after 45 years anyway.

No need to respond at this point. I'm awesome, and you're awesome. Plus, the chance of my returning the favor of a compliment to you in my journal is narrower than Hank Hill's urethra. I am a selfish, selfish peehole. Oops, I complimented all over myself.
