Leave me a comment and I will reply with why I like you. If I don't know you, I'll either make something up or tell you why I like your LiveJournal. You must pay for the privilege by posting a message like this one on your LiveJournal.

Oh wow... a challenge, from someone I don't actually know! Pretty cool...

Well, in the category of stuff I've read recently and stuff from your profile that puts you in the category of people-who-kick-ass-and-I'd-like-to-get-to-know-better....

art, books, crazy cats, creativity, curiosity, dragons, dreams, education, fantasy, fiction, fire, flowers, forests, friends, gaming, halloween, harry potter, health, humor, imagination, intelligence, learning, lessons, life, literature, living, love, magic, mind, movies, music, mystery, nature, neil gaiman, old souls, opera, philosophy, poetry, self-esteem, short stories, silliness, singing, smiles, spirit, strange and unusual, swords, tarot, tattoo, thunderstorms, vampires, wind, witches, writing, ॐ
...that's the simple answer (and I just picked the ones that really resonated).

From what I've read recently, I have found that I really admire:
your creativity - love the photos... keep in mind that, because of userinfoWalkingBear, his camera, and my own exhibitionism, I have a soft spot in my heart for photographers, but I find all creative people fascinating... I think I'm hoping it'll rub off on me!
your courage - reading between the lines, and adding some guesswork, sounds like you've got a long-time(?) live-in lover of the same sex... granted, this is metro Atlanta, but it still takes a lot of courage to live your love in this society, and moreso if that love isn't condoned by those less ...loving. Go you (and her). Assuming I'm right. Otherwise, good to hear you have a roommate you get along with. :)
your got-your-shit-togetherness - yeah, I know we all have our high and low points and all that... but I think it's so cool that you're even able to entertain the possibility of a house (hope it all works out in the end), especially in this economy... again, maybe it'll rub off........

I'm sure other stuff will come up as I read more, but that's off the top of my head.

Oh, and I also like the name - apparently, my husband's ex-wife called him Oberon (there was a reason, but I can't remember it exactly), and I agree that it's a cool name.

:) Besides the wonderful massages, there is so much I like and admire about you. Your generosity, for one - both of tangible goods, and of spirit. There is such an openness in you, a flowing. Your courage, not just to live an outrageous life (and I mean "outrageous" both in the sense of it being appalling to the moral majority, and in the expansive "living juicy" kinda way), but to constantly change it as your Spirit guides you - to not get caught up in what you "should" do, but to follow your Heart and Spirit.

Now this could be interesting...

Here's something funny. I don't know how to post it! I always lurk. I have a few friends who won't know they're my friends and may freak. I hope I don't scare them!

Ahhhhh... it's easier than you might think... :)

It's all about your convictions. You have them. You're not afraid to express them - even to a complete stranger. But, you have an open mind. You listen. You think. You're not a slave to anyone else's convictions, and especially, you're not a slave to your own. You don't shy away from considering other options, and changing your mind, or becoming more firmly convinced because of it. You can agree or disagree with someone else's convictions, and still become their friend. :)

wow. thanks. this is the kind of thing one wants to believe about oneself.

on the other hand, combine it with bipolar and things can be quite, um, explosive.

combine it with bipolar, the internet and instant communication with no filter and, well, you know. :)

Hmmph.... I'm pretty sure the purpose of the meme involves you NOT arguing with me, and just accepting the compliment gracefully. Phhbbt! ;P

Oh, hell, you're easy. You're perfect 'cause you're just like me!

Hee.... Seriously, we do have a lot of the same mindsets - at least we did years ago, and from what I can tell/surmise/ass-u-me, where we've drifted, we've done so in roughly the same direction. I love that little ping I so often get when I read your deeper posts, and feel such a resonance. I love when you post something I hadn't thought of, and I resonate. I love when you post something that spells out things that you've already done, that I've aspired to. And I have no doubt that, if you posted something I vehemently disagreed with, we could discuss it, learn from each other, and agree to disagree without losing respect for each other.

Go Libras!

Ahhhhhh.... you're my sweet lost innocence. I love your generosity of Self, your devotion to your friends, your peaceful convictions. I look wistfully upon your life and sometimes rage that I chose a different path. You are my Mirror in so many ways, and that is a good, if sometimes painful, thing. Sparkle.
