Some people on my flist I've known for almost as long as I've been online, and some people have multiple reasons (and there is overlap.) As such, the bulk of this is "one or two reasons."
Later additions will get tacked on to other posts.
ETA: LJ hates me. It made things look weird (and ate calixa 's name...) but when I go back to edit, the field looks exactly like it's supposed to...
alexandral You post amazing picspam of painting and make beutiful icons and I love all your movie posts. And you like
Damo and
Remote.
booster17 You let me name you "Boostiewoostiekins!" lo those many years ago, and are part of the Evil Triumvirate primarily responsible for getting me past my dislike of vampires to watch Buffy. Though...I think you may have been the one to start the now-mostly-defunct tradition of stealing my Zemo-esque "BAH!"s...
We share a brain. We actually complete each other's sentences. We feed each other's insanity. We spawned Wuxia Bourne.
chomiji You directed me to Samurai Deeper Kyo spoilers and scans and post some of the most balanced book reviews I've ever read.
crumpeteer About half the anime I've watched the last year, and most of the ones I've liked the most, were because of your LJ, and almost anytime you post on a manga, it's one I read and didn't realize anyone else I knew read and it's almost like your reading my brain. You do shamelessly exploit my weaknesses, though...
drealkulit You got me to check out shojo anime and manga(in particular,
Fushigi Yugi) and are among the few I can endlessly talk to about Top Cow stuff and be in agreement.
druiz You helped get me into samurai stuff and tend to randomly tease me about upcoming Marvel things. And you tolerate my begging for news about Jubilee.
foenix Your posts vary from the amazingly cracktastic things every to the truly frightening. And you are part of the Evil Triumvirate primarily responsible for getting me past my dislike of vampires to watch Buffy.
gloryquest You are one of my oldest internet friends, amazingly patient with everyone and got my to try out comics and manga and anime I never would have checked out otherwise. But most importantly, you introduced me to Juliet Marrillier.
ilysanth and
calixa , your insanity feeds mine (actually, it's a threeway street.) And you madethe Wuxia Bourne post and exposed him to the world at large.
magicnoire When it comes to urban fantasy, I think we share a brain. And your are the only person I k ow of who's read Bifrost Guardians. And you like Yuya and defend her. Anyone who does that is my friend for life.
southerndave Like and programming, if I'm able to recognize an obscure band, it's because of you. That and your love of random Douglas Adams references trumps anything else I could say.
timeimp You are one of the two main people who got me into DC comics and, to a lesser degree,
Smallville. You actually also make me interested in your sports.

uclamaverick *insert "aming my earliest internet friends" comment* Once upon a time, you were my comics spoiler guy. Then you decided you were allergic to spoilers and stopped, but I have since forgiven you. You are also the main reason I checked out
Firefly, for which I am endlessly greatful, and arethe other main person to get me into DC comics.

Date: 2007-08-19 05:59 pm (UTC)And here I don't get online much anymore, at least not on AOL/AIM.
By "oldest" you mean I'm old, right.
I've probably gotten more people to read Marillier's books than any other author I've "promoted."
