It's an odd thing, a friendslist...

[misscam]

East of the Sun, West of the Moon update here (ff.net) and here (CSI Forensics). It's darling Warrick's chapter this time around.

Italy votes on fertility laws - this one will be interesting to watch since the Vatican has actively asked people to boycott the referendum. How much the power has the Vatican still got? This poll may be a guide.

I just realised to my horror that my brother signed my site's guestbook (I was updating it) four years ago and might actually still be aware of it and read my fanfic. Ooooh dear.

Speaking of 'ooooh dear' - Looking over my friendslist is sometimes amusing reading.

There's lotus79, who knows me all the way back to the Water Rats fandom and much horrid writing. There's the whole pile of people who know me via OFUM, who must be tired of all the CSI yak by now. (And often are PPCers, too.) There's the CSI contigent who know me from various messageboards and who mostly have no idea what OFUM is. There's the GAFFers, who are probably here for the mock. There's a few people here and there who have friended me for various other reasons, mostly to do with fellow Bush-hating or shared nationality. And iseeyoucam, my personal troll, of course.

And if you break in down futher, the LotR crowd has Legolas Lusters and Legolas Haters, the more quality-focused fanfic writers and the more it's-all-in-good-fun writers, the mainly book people and mainly movie people. There's RPF writers and RPF haters. The kinky and the kink-not. In the CSI crowd, I got representatives from a whole fleet of ships - Grissom/Sara, Catherine/Warrick, Catherine/Grissom, Nick/Sara, Sara/Greg, Nick/Greg... Am I missing any? (Speaketh now or forever holdeth your breath.) And the GAFF crowd has its own little cliques, as I have discovered more of now that I have Country Club access (*wraggles eyebrows*), though I'm sure they would unite in the case of a horrid badfic. There's even Bush supporters here. You may all now gasp.

In short - if a fight ever did break out here it'd be like WW3, except with more food and fish. And possibly some spanking.

So what Cam wants to know - why did you friend me, what would be your weapon of choice in case of an all-out war and how would you bribe me to join your side?

I friended you because you friended me, I think, back in my PPC days. *whines* It was a long time ago!

My weapon of choice in an all-out war? The Force. Unless coerced into choosing a different weapon, and then—a flamethrower.

As for how to bribe you—hot men and chocolate. Possibly both. Or, you know, if the Force was allowed, the Jedi mind trick. ^^;

[elvea-aure.livejournal.com]

Well, uhm... lessee... I friended you because you invented OFUM (which 0wnz), and because your journal makes for an interesting read. That, and you mock Bush, which is always a plus.

In case a war broke out, my weapons would probably be the Force of Canon, and the Laws of Physics. Like gravity. I'd bribe you to join my side with Oily!DaisyWenham because Oily!Faramir is supposed to end up with Éowyn, but I'd give you a wig with it for pretending's sake.

[sinneahtes.livejournal.com]

OFUM amused me and is the reason I found your LJ, but it was really the eloquently written commentaries on the news, politics, etc along with fun and friendly entries about whatever that got me to stick around. Your open and friendly atmosphere here was why I ultimately friended.

Weapon of Choice: The Blue Screen of Death coupled with endless attacks of Malicious Spyware. Sure to frustrate any opponent to tears.

Bribe: I'll try *extra* hard to get that New Vinland flag done ASAP...

...okay, so I'm not the world's best ally. :P

(Btw, did you see this about the Freedom Fries lawmaker?)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Now that would cheating. And thus, an excellent weapon ;)

Ah, them PPC days... It's been around a very, very long time now and people still join it. Quite amazing.

*eats chocolate and ogles hot men*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Sneeeerk. Gravity would sure kill any of the Sues falling constantly into ME.

On a good day, I will mock anything. But Bush is forever and always my soulnemesis.

[hadria.livejournal.com]

OMG POPE PALPY STFU.

I friended you because of CSI and Grissom/Sara and because you hate Bush and because you seemed like a generally snarky, fun, and interesting person.

My weapon of choice would be the little hearts of TWUWUB. Like this. <3333 . I would convert you to my side by throwing myself into a threesome with George and Laura and filming it thus leading to his impeachment. Yes, I know. I pity myself too. But sacrifices must be made and I'm willing to sacrifice my vagina.

<3333333 .
(resistance is futile bitches)

Aaaaw.

Yeah, I just saw that one. Was pondering an entry on it, actually. I haven't really talked much about the Iraq war of late, mostly because it depresses the hell out of me. But that one is very, very interesting.

Mr Jones, who represents North Carolina, has written condolences letters to the families of more than 1,300 servicemen killed in Iraq, and photographs of those killed in action are posted outside his congressional office.

Very interesting...

Your vagina would be held in high esteem as a martyr for the cause. Maybe I could even throw in a sainthood in the church of New Asatru.

(That icon never ceases to amuse me, either.)

You'd probably get people flinging Orgies and SmutMayhem back at you, heh.

[norwegianne.livejournal.com]

I think it was mostly 'cause "Hee, other Norwegian writing fanfic" and then there was the snark... and the evil smily icon just plain won me over.

[elvea-aure.livejournal.com]

Exactly. That's why I chose gravity. XD

Bush just begs to be mocked.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Evil Grinning Smiley seduces all.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

The No Cows agree.

[elvea-aure.livejournal.com]

Naturally.

[forceofhobbit.livejournal.com]

*grins* I'd probably play fair, though, so there you go . . .

*laughs* New faces every . . . well, every time I turn around and read a current PPCer's journal.

Now that you've ogled our men and eaten our chocolate, join the dark side! We have cookies. ^^

[kittycatness.livejournal.com]

First reason for friending you was OFUM. Which still owns my arse. Then I found out that you were MUCH more than JUST OFUM and I enjoyed the politics aspect and interesting news articles.

Weapon of choice: Maddening smile paired with a katana, wakizashi, and tanto (three types of Japanese swords).

Bribe: Food. David Wenham pictures.

... Not much, sorry.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

What if I want cake?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Now, now. Never call David "not much".

It just amuses me that large parts of my flist actually friended me because of OFUM while another large part hasn't a clue what it is. But then, I am easily amused.

[forceofhobbit.livejournal.com]

. . . well, we can make it for you. With stealthy evil powers. ^^;

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I shall take it under advisement ;)

[aervir.livejournal.com]

How did I friend you? Well, I had read OFUM and discovered your personal homepage with your Livejournal link where I was lurking for quite some time. When it became clear to me that you are much more than just a user with a bizzarre, Pythonesque, yet endearing sense of humour and that you actually do not bite, I finally dared to speak up and comment on a post.

Weapon of choice: An elven blade? A cool Samurai sword à la The Matrix or Kill Bill? Lightsaber? Baker Rifle? They are all very tempting, but you shouldn't let me even near any shiny, pointy or explosive object. I'll go with the OED -- enough volumes to smite people with.

My bribe: You already have David Wenham and oily!Faramir. So what about Colin Firth in a wet shirt (that may be ripped off, of course, if you should feel so inclined)?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I sense a certain theme in my bribes so far, I do. My, my, how shallow I am. ;)

*bites affectionately*

Gotta love the OED - weapon and handy reference when insulting your foes.

[mystefaction.livejournal.com]

I friended you originally because of OFUM. I keep you friended now mostly for other reasons: the snark, the interesting linkage, the thought-provoking musings, the CSI love, the Bush-whacking... and also because you like Australia.

My weapon? None. I prefer a good defence, and mine would probably be the fact that I'd be squirreled away in a corner paying absolutely no attention, and would not even notice that hostilities had broken out until it was all over (or nearly). If I *did* notice, I'd find a safe vantage-point and watch in appalled fascination as everyone tore everyone else to shreds.

To get you on my side in the latter scenario, I would offer you room in my hideout if you strayed in my direction looking harrassed.

[perhatikan.livejournal.com]

I read OFUM, found your website and livejournal, lurked for a while and friended you because your lj is an interesting read. I love the anti-Bush snark and you're turning me into a Warrick lover.

Weapon of choice would be a very ripe durian (spikes and the smell of death), or my middle dutch dictionary (smack people with hardly used knowledge).

I'd bribe you with life-sized chocolate statues of David Wenham and Gary Dourdan.

[reenjalas.livejournal.com]

Hum... I added you because you seemed like an interesting person. And I agreed with you on many things, political and otherwise.

A fight? Well, then I think my weapon of choise would be... Mämmi, the icky stuff that looks like mud that we eat on Easter! I would go around offering it to everyone and they'd run away in disgust when they saw it. A master plan!

I would bribe you with... Er, as I wish to be different from the others, I'd attempt to bribe you with an Oily!Tied!Up!And!Nekkid!Rumsfield and Bush just
to be odd, although I suspect you would not accept them.

Will there be tea and biscuits served?
