[bluesuzanne.livejournal.com]

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Yay! New friend! Today rocks

I updated my info last night, while slightly high on sinus medication ;) always a good move. And that pony icon, man - serious comedy gold, magique_icons pwns.

And OMG. YOU made the House/Cameron Role Model wallpaper!?! *flails* I bow down to your awesomeness :o

[weird-x-sister.livejournal.com]

Hey thanks for the comment on my LJ! Sure you can add me =)

I LOVE when people say that about my dog ;-) Makes me smile for the rest of the day =O She's loving all the attention she's getting since she's had her surgery!

<3 Chrissy

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

:D Added, add me back? I need a NewZealander on my f-list ;) Woefully underrepresented. Wellington = *love*

[the-great-gark.livejournal.com]

i friended you because i beleive we tv whores must stick together, that sounds wrong, hmm, and House is the new black, and i really had to ask where you got your mood theme from

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Eventually we tv whores will take over the world. Or all the decent tv networks, anyway ;)

Friended! Yay! New friends are just the best thing ever. My sucky day is suddenly not so sucky :D

[daynawashere.livejournal.com]

Hey there. So, you offered to beta my House/Cameron fic? Well I wasn't sure how to get in contact with you, so I hope you don't mind me posting here. Do you have an email address I can reach you at? Or MSN or something? You can email me at little_drummer_girl75(at)hotmail(dot)com if you want.

(And you also seem like a cool person so would you mind if I friended you?)

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Friended :D

I'm sort of between houses (and computers *cries*) at the moment, so msn's a bit hit and miss, email is lumia_k@hotmail.com :)

[easily-obsessed.livejournal.com]

Hi, wanna friend me?

I haven't added you yet, so its up to you??

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Added :D Add me back?

Seriously, with a user name like that we should get along just fine ;)

[bittereyes.livejournal.com]

Hallo! I feel the need to request to be your friend, as you seem wonderfully amusing & have one of my favorite blackadder scenes quoted in your userinfo :P

(& heeeey, you like Janis Ian!!)

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Hi hi! *waves* Added you back :D

Blackadder, man - so, so cool. I still haven't gotten around to getting it on dvd yet :| (I'm old, see - so i've got it on video, very pathetic indeed.) And yay for Janis Ian ♥!

Just out of curiosity - how did you find me?

[daizze.livejournal.com]

SO I was going through all my friends userinfo, Im bored ok!! And saw this... SO House is the new black huh??!!

You know I have added you dude oh and if its ok added you to my msn thingy.. (techy speak there you understand!)

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Hee. House is most definitely the new black.

Um. Duh :P I noticed that, yes. I'm slow, but i'm not that slow. *laughs*

You added me to your msn? Where are you?!

[missymeggins.livejournal.com]

Hey. I've noticed your friends with a lot of my friends (hehe) plus book_worm_26 mentioned you might be coming to our Sydney meetup so I thought I'd pop in and say hi and let you know I've added you to my friends list. ;D

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Lol. I'm usually so anal about checking all my mail, i don't know how this slipped by. Sorry!

Added you back, terribly excited about the meet! Bringing donuts. Lots and lots of donuts. *nods wisely*

[splendour1.livejournal.com]

Ahh i wanna friend you cause i have seen your name pop up and have follwed the lead, heres the reasons why, Television =my life, everything else just revolves around it. Um im going to study business next year cause finishing year 12 (YAY for me)i play the clarinet and house is most definitly the new black( and this is getting WAY to long so i shall stop it now :) Can i be your friend?

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Hello! *waves*

Television =my life
*friends you instantly because you are obviously made of awesome*

There's nothing like the joy of making new friends to offset a horrible day at uni. ♥

[julester1.livejournal.com]

Hey! I may or may not be putting off study, but I know we have several friends in common, but also have crazy amounts of television interests in common too [eeeep! The West Wing, House, and I know you are a newly converted Office Fan - yay!] And oh, combined uni degree? I am so there too. So to end my rambling, would love to friend you!

[julester1.livejournal.com]

And oh, not to freak you out more or anything, I think you are the first person on LJ who I have seen list Spongebob SquarePants as an interest, and heeeeee! that is awesome in its own right. Love!

[basictheology.livejournal.com]

heeeeyyyyy.
it's me.
i've brought you candy?
well, pretend candy.
also, pretend coffee?
pretend diet coke?
pretend... eyebrows?
love always,
your new friend.

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Ooooooh, pretend candy.

Pretend eyebrows, huh? I like it.

Friended, because you seem to share my randomness. And also my love of track pants. One day i plan to take over the world - and i'm going to do it wearing track pants. Because nothing says laid-back-world-domination like a good pair of track pants.

[misunderstood-b.livejournal.com]

have friended you, we seem quite similar *coughobsessivecough*

Though, unlike you, I wear black instead of grey, I'm one of those black and white people full of those moral absolutes :(

I have no life either; I seriously need one. Really.

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Hey! Sorry i took so long to add you back, life has been batshit crazy this week.

Haha. *coughnothingwrongwiththatcough*

Well, i do partake in a lot of black-wearing myself. I like grey more, but i probably own more black. Fancy black suit-pants FTW! I envy your moral absolutes, i do. I need to get me some of those.

You know, i think we should all band together, start a support group of some kind ;) Or an LJ community, but then that would probably be slightly counterproductive. *snort*

[camiie.livejournal.com]

Heyoo..

You don't know me at alllll =D

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Dude. You crack me up :P I got the email notification of a comment from you and i was like, okay, and went to my latest post and was all *confusion*, so i went back one, and another ... then i finally opened the damn email and was like *doh*

Hee.

Hey, random question: do you know of any good icon-help communities besides icon_tutorial? I feel like making icons tonight, but i can't get the colouring i want. *grumps*

[thesamerain.livejournal.com]

I just had to say, I love your little spiel here, it cracked me up :) A good thing, sure, but not when my family bugs me why I'm grinning at the computer!!

We sound alike, actually, which can be taken as a good thing or a bad thing, but I'd say good... :P We have a lot of the same fandoms, and I'm undoubtably a tv whore as well, but you won't hear me admitting it to just anyone... Kidding, of course. :D Out of the fandoms you've listed, I love Bones, of course, and I've always liked Grey's Anatomy but even more so since Denny came onto it. Then, along with the rest of the world, cried by eyes out when he died. :( Never watched The Office, Brothers & Sisters (which I don't think has even started here yet), Weeds or Gilmore Girls, but all the others I just love!

But yeah, I', blabbing ;)

Oh, and I adore your Emily/Zooey layout, they're both so gorgeous!

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Lol. I know what you mean - i've been watching random Bones clips/interviews on youtube all day and my family is like, what the hell is going on in your room?! *snort*

Hah. Totally a good thing. And my tv whore status is basically my only social hook - if i meet someone and we share a tv-love, i'm good, otherwise i'm literally incapable of making acceptable small talk. I tend to blurt out randomly useless facts and/or mock the general public.

Yay for Grey's Anatomy! I'm going to assume from your mention of Denny that you're watching them on free-to-air, yes? In which case i'll have to be careful what i say - cause i download it as soon as it's available from the US, and i don't think i have any other unspoiled Grey's fans on my flist. I'm going to have to embrace the spoiler-alert ;)

And omg, you totally need to watch The Office. And Weeds! It's just started on free-to-air here, i think. It is AWESOME. And Zooey Deschanel is in it! She's so bizarre, it's hilarious. I so need to make some Zooey-Weeds icons. I don't think Brothers & Sisters has started here yet - we might be getting it next year? I think i read that somewhere. When it does eventually arrive, you should totally watch it. It's full of amazing actors. And it's by a heap of the Alias people. It wins.

Lmao. I think i beat you on the blabbing. I'm slightly drunk. *sporflesnort*

Thank you! I don't think it was a big hit with most of my flist. *shrugs* They're pretty. I love it. It's so rare that i'm actually happy with a layout/header. So, thanks for saying that. *smooshes you*

[twisted-badger.livejournal.com]

hey :)

nice to meet you, thank you for adding me, thining my icons were nice and, seeing my kiwiw status as a good thing :D

you seem very swell indeed, what with using the word WOE. i am very fond of woe. you also have a quote from blackadder on your info, which i'm sure you know but, my point is that i am always very happy when people know the love of that sort of show yes. it is fab and think kate is the best shotening of bob i have ever heard.

there are also many other fab things about you i wanted to mention but i do not want to scare you yet so. hi :D nice to meet you and i look forward to meeting you more yes.

-kelsi

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

hi! *waves*

Nice to meet you too, you're welcome, your icons are awesome, and kiwi status ftw! :)

Lol. I love the word woe - i was driving my mum home tonight and we were behind a truck whose number plates was 'WOE 237' - i'm not positive about the numbers, but seriously, it was WOE. Lmao. I took a photo, i'll have to post it tomorrow. Blackadder!love! It's such an awesome series, and so often overlooked by people. I like to randomly pimp it ;)

Omg, i dare you to scare me :P

♥

[riven-nz.livejournal.com]

oooh add me! i require more random spam on my f list =) - no really, please..

[freecityy.livejournal.com]

love your icons. and i see your name all over my fave house fic authors' journals, as well as the H/C comms. i'd love to be added!

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Hi! Added! *smooshes you*

Argh. In crazy hurry - on crappy library computers (cause i'm on holidays), i'll introduce myself properly when i get home (in 11 days).

Also? Icon love! I NEED TO SEE THE NEW EP. GODDAMN NOT HAVING INTERNET. *fumes*

[freecityy.livejournal.com]

hey hey, you already added me but would you please add me as a friend under your BONES and HOUSE/GA groups? pretty pleeease?

[scullyish.livejournal.com]

hey! we have; common interests, common friends, common country of residence, plus you seem pretty awesome, so if it's okay i'd like to add you :D

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Hey! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, this week has been nuts.

Is it completely bizarre that i actually ended up at your lj the other day, and i was like ... why am i not friends with this person already? And then literally hours later you posted here? Bizarre i tell you. *twilight zone music*

Anyhow. Moving on. Added you, add me back? We can share the Emily/Bones love. *nods*

[agzee.livejournal.com]

Hey there :)

you've commented on some of my icons and i'm adding you cause you're a grey's addison fan and your layout is awsome :)

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Hi! :)

Your icons are stunning, and you seem very cool. And hi, Addison!love! Adding. ♥

[x-starbuck.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to make it so that you had 100 comments not 99. Because I'm annoying like that.

HI. *waves*

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

OMG. I WAS TOTALLY GOING TO DO IT MYSELF. *snort*

It's so much less pathetic better that you did it though. Lol.

♥ ♥ ♥

[fireworkfiasco.livejournal.com]

okay, i hopped over here via cathiexx & teenwitch77 & i fell in love with you from your fo-post. seriously. you? made of awesome, which you must know.

anyway, i'd love to be friends, if that's alright. ♥

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Well any friend of Cathie and Em is a friend of mine :)

And seeing as you're an Alias fan i don't feel quite so stupid about telling you how i knee-jerky/irrationally wanted to bump someone off my flist when i added you because it went up from 47 to 48. *snort* Obviously Alias still rules some part of my brain, however small.

I'm still technically on hiatus until next wednesday, so please excuse my absence until then. After that i'll be spamming anything that moves, so watch out ;)

♥

[flatlined.livejournal.com]

I'm friending you. add me back if you want

I read the bio thingy
and it sounds like we're alot alike

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Added you back :)

I just read yours, and you're right, it does seem we've got a lot in common. Both positive and negative, but pshh, common is common ;)

♥

[linzi20.livejournal.com]

*loves your lj banner*

I'm friending you if that's okay. We have a lot in common *winks*

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks! *loves each and every graphic on your lj, especially your userinfo* Lol.

Yay! Mind if i friend you back? I love love LOVE your fics - especially those pertaining to the special bus ;) And we do seem to have a lot in common. *smirk* Also, i'm in love with your icon. I seriously need to make myself some from that interview. I'm in the middle of capping some Tarzan eps though, so ... one thing at a time. Lol.
