fandomhigh_ooc | meme: five things to five people

1. Your welcome for me to this world has been warmer than any friendship I had in the last. Thank you for helping me.

2. Perhaps not yet, but in you I see the sister I have always lacked. Thank you for making me feel less strange.

3. You make me realize the sweetness of young romance, since I was formerly denied as much. It is not something I'll act on today, nor tomorrow, but there is an inkling of attraction taking root, and when I'm beyond my grief, I may tell you of it.

4. I wish I could someday know grace like yours. I'll need it to be the queen Westeros needs.

5. I will never forget you. Not until the sun rises in the west and sets in the east will I cease to love you.

1. You're kind of aloof sometimes but I like, I dunno, ~~proving myself to you~~ showing off what I can do. I'll do harder stuff if you ask! Promise!

2. I have more fun with you that I've ever had with anyone else. And I'm so grateful you never, um, you know, got changed in front of me last week. Seriously. THANK YOU.

3. You're smart and awesome and kind of saved my ass that time and you actually like hanging out with me even though you're nice and stuff, and I think I have those weird, like, girl-feelings for you. The, like, weirdly tingly kind. Don't stop hanging out with me?

4. I guess if you're smart you aren't THAT bad. Even if you're smart about English stuff. And at least you've got your priorities right about what's gross.

5. Seriously, you need to work on that temper, stat. And I did you a favor, anyway. Those shirts and the... girl-leg-covering-things were ugly.

1. I'm pretty much sworn off from eating bacon for the rest of my life now.

2. Sometimes I wish my daughter was more like you.

3. You so need a better parental figure. I'm just saying.

4. You found out my secret. Please keep it to yourself.

5. Meeting your "pets" was very cool in an extremely freaky way.

1. I love you. But I wish you'd let me know how I can care for you. I've never been able to deal well with feeling useless.

2. I'll understand if you think less of me after this past week. I think less of me.

3. I appreciate your intentions, but you give me far more credit than I deserve.

4. Personally, I'd like to spar again. But perhaps we could refrain from the, er, innuendo, if you wouldn't mind?

5. I'll never forgive myself for failing you.

1. You're kind of my best friend here and I'm so glad we don't have any more secrets from each other! We don't, right?

2. So I'm starting to think that promising to perform at your birthday party might have been a bad plan. I'll probably still do it, but... oops?

3. You are so cute. Even though I can't figure out why you're not totally into me. Hello, I am a catch.

4. You're cute too! In a different way! And you're the first person I've met here who seems to come from a place even remotely similar to back home. We should totally hang out more.

5. I love you, really, but I wonder sometimes if I still need you.

1. When my father died, I thought I'd lost that forever - an older man to guide me, to teach me, and to help me. I had to be my own father and mother. Then my name was reaped, and I was given Haymitch, and I remembered what that felt like, to have a father.

Then you helped me, and I know you have your own children and family, but also that you have, without my ever mentioning it (because we know I won't), someone who'd consider you hers, because she has no one else left.

2. I want to grow up and be you. I don't know what shaped you into the woman you are, but I know your life has been like mine, and you emerged graceful and wise and brilliant. In my grief and clumsiness and unwillingness to lead, I don't know how to be like you. But I want to.

3. Thank you for bringing her home. We planted a primrose bush for her. There's nothing else to be done, but your help was unimaginable to me, and my gratitude is boundless.

4. I think I might want to visit you, to talk. You aren't a counselor, but I need to talk to someone, and I need to understand what happened, and your name is the one that repeats in my mind.

5. I don't know. I want to let you in, but I've turned so ugly and empty and everything hurts less than it used to but still does, all the same. I love you, because I know it to be a fact like my eyes being gray and Prim being dead. It's one of the things I repeat to myself, when everything twists on itself and stops making sense. But I'm only just now remembering how to feel.

When I remember what it's like not to be numb, you won't know what hit you.

1. I have a really, really small list of people that I consider to be close, close friends. You were the first. Ever. That means the world to me, man. I don't think you'll ever really understand just how much.

2. You remind me so, so much of myself when I first came here, that it kind of breaks my heart. I know this place can be dangerous. I know it all too well. And I want to wrap you up and hide you away so that when things go bad here, you won't have to get dragged into it.

3. You are never allowed to mix up batches of chemical-based feather dye again. Ever. The jury is still out on whether or not I'm going to freak out when I see what you guys did to my van, too. But the sticking point is the feathers.

4. You're so open and easy to get along with, sometimes I forget that you're a teacher. I know I'm not quite the same as the guy you know from home. I mean, I've met a few by now, I know for a fact I'm not like them. But I can't help but hope that I'm at least starting to live up to the things he did.

5. Mine.

Always. Never a question.

1) I really like you a lot. It's nice to be able to talk with someone who just really seems to get it, you know? I'd like to spend more time with you.

2) Funny how we sometimes end up sitting and talking even though I'm not sure we actually get along all that well. Still, I do consider you a friend.

3) I think we might have a bunch in common. I'm just not exactly sure how to talk to you about it. And I don't even understand it all myself.

4) I'm glad you're here, even if you're not exactly like mine, and I'm sorry I was unpleasant to you when I first met you and glad you didn't hold it against me.

5) Thanks for saving me that time. We don't really have a ton in common, but I'm glad we're friends. I'd even let you talk me into stuff like painting my nails and shopping - in small amounts - if you wanted.

...On the (very) off-chance I'm four, I wish you would.

... you know, it'd be an awesome party even without a pop star. It's a Darling party. I'd pout, but we'd manage.

1. People at home aren't like you. Everyone's loud or doesn't care or doesn't even want to know, which is why I think I like talking to you. I used to beat kids like you up, but now I want to protect you from the other Ramonas of the world. Even if you don't need it.

2. You're kind of a nice, savvy, debonair break from the guys I'm used to. I like thinking I deserve a little bit of that glitz and nice treatment.

3. I don't know why. I know you're bad for me, and should date someone a lot less...you-like. But at the end of the day, you're the first person I want to tell about everything that happens to me, and I want to be around you more than anyone else. That's something.

4. I haven't even met you yet, but if I ever figure out our mutual aquaintance back home, I'll probably kind of hate you. Sorry?

5. You seriously bring that shit on yourself, dude. Have you tried not being an asshole?

Trust me, I've said worse things than that. First days don't count. There's nothing to apologise for.

1. It's a pity that it seems like one of us is always leaving the island when the other is getting here. I like you quite a bit, but there's never enough time to explore it.

2. I still don't understand why you're so bloody set on your own world and your own time. Also, I'm more than a bit in love with you -- but you know that, don't you?

3. We aren't in touch enough, but the last time we talked it seemed like you were in a good place. It made me happy. (This could go to at least two people. But he has one in mind.)

4. I miss being your friend. Things got complicated, but we should talk again now that they've settled a bit.

5. I am yours. Always. Even if I'm starting to see why you were always on about me having my own life.

1. Sometimes I seriously don't know why I spend time with you. It's probably not just because you're hilariously easy to play.
2. I'm not a big fan of wasting time with stupid teenage shit, so why do I make time to sit down and make stupid innuendo cracks with you? Probably because I miss my sister and you make it easier. Not that I'll ever cop to that.
3. I love you. Right now, I'd rather choke on my own bile to admit to that out loud, though. Give it a few years.
4. You're a little psychopath, you know that? Even if it wasn't for that creepy threat, the part where you're trying to get along with me seals the deal.
5. Screw you. But thank you for teaching me that there's no way in hell I'll get people to follow me and help me save the planet by acting like an entitled asshole. In as far as I needed to be taught.

1. I'll never stop loving you or missing you ... but sometimes I feel less like I need you. It's weird but I don't hate it.

2. I don't want to get too excited yet, but talking to you the other weekend made me more hopeful about next year than I'd been. Study buddies for life (or at least a year)?

3. It's been a while since I admired somebody totally non-magical as much as I admire you. You must be really strong to do what you've already done here.

4. You seem to understand me. I can't tell if it's for real or if you're that way with everybody, but I like it.

5. I don't get you, and I kind of don't want to.

1. I still miss you terribly. But no, I'm not apologising for what happened. It was the right thing to do, even if I was mistaken about my own feelings about it in the end.

2. I'm worried about you. And the way you're trying to run things in your country, but considering how important it is to you, I think that comes with the package by default.

3. You should go out into the world more - you're stronger than you think you are, and you have the chance to be much more capable.

4. I've lived away from you doubly as long as I ever lived with you. And yet still all I want is for you to love me. I'm pretty sure that warrants a trip to the psych ward.

5. I really desperately don't want to leave you, even if I do want to leave. It hurts. But I'll never tell you that, because I'd rather eat my own kidney than railroad you the way your father does.

Edited 2011-10-19 16:11 (UTC)

1. I wonder, sometimes, how you can be so thoroughly different from the version of yourself that I know from here. I actually like you. I have faith that you won't make the same mistakes that she did. And if you do... So help me, I'll mope more.

2. I worry, you know. I worry about how much you worry. I worry that something might happen, even if I'm not technically on active duty any more, and you'll find out, and it'll be just one more reason for you to worry. And... you know, I'm not entirely certain why I keep staying here, at this point. Maybe because I know myself so well. If I leave now, I'll be giving up, and I never was good at putting pride away for the sake of my own well-being. I was never good at forgiving myself for it later. But I think you understand that.

3. I miss you. Sometimes, I miss you so much it hurts all over again. It's been more than a handful of years for me, now, but I still have the note you wrote. Sometimes I call my own voicemail to hear you. And given how much my body has been through since you left, I'm beginning to doubt that I will ever see you again.

4. You know, I think the school function I was least apathetic about was your club? It was a whole little family of people who didn't give a shite, about as much as I didn't. Oh. And you better be practising those drums.

5. We got off on the wrong foot. Seriously, the worst foot, when you think about it. But we kind of have that freak solidarity going for us. I know it's been a while since we've spoken, but there still aren't many people I'd rather have watching my back when we've got monster-pterodactyls flying down at our heads, mate.

Study buddies for at least a year, definitely. It's some little bit of a normal life to look forward to before I get to make all the really tough decisions, and I'm grateful that you brought it up.

1. Your crush is adorable. Thanks for the laughs.

2. Seriously, what are we going to do after we graduate? Think your mom would buy it if we told her she'd had twins and one of them was snatched at birth? (P.S., I love you. I wouldn't tote around an animal form of just anybody.)

3. I don't think you know what a shallow bitch I can be. I kind of hope you never figure it out.

4. I haven't run into you in a while. I hope this isn't because you're plotting, because that's just pathetic.

5. I wish you'd let me in on some of what's going on with you. I know it's not my business or whatever, but you were my first friend here. I haven't forgotten that.

Edited 2011-10-19 16:17 (UTC)

1. You're like, one of my best friends and one of the big reasons I've become less of an asshole to everyone, because I know you'd give me hell for it. You're smarter than all the popular girls I know back home (except Quinn) and I have no idea why we get along. You're coming to Homecoming so I can hit on you and explain some sort of sex thing to your boyfriend, right?

2. You are a mess like every lost Cheerio I've ever known - glitter-obssessed, competitive, and occasionally drunk when you shouldn't be. Kinda why I like you - familiarity.

3. You are so lucky I don't know you and I've mostly outgrown slushying.

4. You're the reason I'm better. You're the reason I'm sorry I went to juvie, and why I actually try in school kind of, and why I don't cheat in any sense of the word. Take credit for it, because without someone to disappoint, I'd be a deadbeat like my dad.

5. Man, if I'd been around during yours and Quinn's campaign, I would have spent every day flashing you just to rattle you.

Edited 2011-10-19 16:19 (UTC)

You will. I don't know how or when or where, but you will. Endless don't welsh on promises.

(And the thing about my gig is, the years it's been for you --and the decades it might still be -- are like five minutes for me.)

1. It's weird; I always thought missing you was going to be this whole thing where I went around feeling like there was this empty place right there all the time. And it was like that at first, but not any more. Just... sometimes it sort of sneaks up on me when I'm not expecting it, in these little quiet moments. I'm okay with that.

2. I hate so much, sometimes, that we're not from the same New York. This place would be so much more fun with you in it. All the trouble we could get into together remains sadly hypothetical.

3. Not to say I don't love my family, 'cause I do? But damn, I really wish you were actually part of it. Actually, I kinda like the version where you totally have been all along, and we just never knew it.

4. You know I give you a hard time out of affection, right? I mean, I hope you do. Just... break the rules more, okay? You know which ones. Not that I know it yet but you're already figuring that out, and I'm gonna think that's freaking awesome.

5. You put me through some of the weirdest, most messed-up experiences of my life, and confused the hell out of me for the longest time. I wouldn't give up any of that now, so thanks. Oh, and don't go relapsing on me or anything, 'cause I really don't want to have to come back and kick your ass. I'll do it this time.

Well, my mom is used to one of me. Two means twice the fun, right? That's my policy with twins, anyway.

And I love you too. Even if you made me go put on pants.

Well, I had to. I don't need the rest of the sorority eying my property.

And the idea of two of you is ... I can't tell if I'm turned on or terrified. Possibly both.

(Also, thank for what you said about me. It was sweet. But you should give yourself more credit.)
