at what point does it cease to be good night and become good morning?

Okay, so I apologize in advance for this.

I've been up and down in mood lately and this is a moment of the latter, and I'm all irrational and frustrated and wishing I was doing better at lots of things.

... and when I make a plea for blatant flattery, I do it frankly, at least, right? So if you've got a spare moment or whatever and something leaps to mind, leave me a nice comment-compliment, tell me something I'm good at or something that makes me awesome. Especially if it's something dumb or something insignificant, something I would have overlooked 'cause I'm silly, but also if it's something obvious. Or not, if nothing leaps to mind right away then go on to the next entry on your friends list now. I won't mind -- it's a silly idea and I won't pine away or go jump off a bridge if nobody responds, don't worry. At the rate I'm going my mood will have done a total 180 by the time I'm done with this post, heh. I'll appreciate immensely any and all flattery, but feel free to tell me this was a dumb idea also. Anonymous commenting is turned on if that's your thing. Or if you want, even copy and paste and meme it up and I'll (of course!) return the favor. :)

It's an interesting phenomenon of this type of communication that I don't think I'd have the nerve ever to say something like this face to face. People do say livejournal is just everyone's shrines to their own egos; I try not to do that much, but I think you guys will forgive me for just this one transgression. ;)

When I went through my memories a little while ago, I came across your Amber coffee shop fic and reread it, and it was just as good as the first time I read it. It was a beautiful piece of writing made better by the fact that you didn't shy away from the nasty bits of Dierdre's character -- namely, that she was a bit of a bitch and in love with her brother.

Also, you're going to MIT and making it work, academics and all, and I admire the hell out of that because it was my dream school that I was too scared (rightly so) to go for. :)

You're a Zelazny fan, which is cool x1000.

And you're simply an interesting person. So there. :)

If I were to make a list of all the people I've met, then sort it in decreasing order by the magnitude to which they'd make a good super evil villain, you'd be dangling near the end of the list. You'd probably be neighbors with this poor schmuck.

Unless it turned out that you had some sort of secret identity, which would also be awesome.

And yeah, you could fail out of MIT and it would still be awesome that you went there.

Huh. Come to think of it, you probably couldn't follow that link.

Rest assured that he's an awful villain, in any case... to the point where his villainy surely must be negative.

But I'm so curious who it is now! *g* Thanks. (I think.)

You have no idea how much everyone respects you. For my part, I'm flattered that you even talk to me!
Not only are you sciencey-math-technology smart, you're, in the words of a friend, "artsy-englishy" too. Which, in my humble opinion, is no mean feat.

Wow, I'm way flattered. :D Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. :)
