Ten days Meme- Day One

[tree_and_leaf]

For the avoidance of doubt: none of these are directed at anyone on DW/ LJ. In fact, they're not even all directed at people I know personally.

1. I'd say "Become an Anglican or an Orthodox so you can do the marriage-AND-vocation thing", but I've seen this pattern recur so often I'm starting to wonder if you're not looking for excuses not to commit to either. I'd love to think that this latest thing is the one, but seriously - you're wasting a lot of time and energy, and risking hurting people really badly. Stop it."

2. I still have no idea why you thought that strategy was a good move. Why were you so shocked when it went horribly wrong?

3. I'm sorry we drifted apart, especially as it was my fault. I didn't know how to talk about what happened with X, and then when I'd got my head round that, so much time had passed.

4. Are you mildly telepathic? I know it's not very likely, but it would explain a hell of a lot.

5. I think you're dead wrong. But you've been genuinely gracious about the whole thing in a way that's sadly rare (on either side). Pray for me, that we may merrily meet in heaven.

6. I wish I knew you better.

7. Your books mean an awful lot to me, though probably not always in the way you'd expect.

8. The police procedural bits of your novels aren't nearly as good as the bits with the eccentric minor characters. Maybe you should change genre?

9. I'd probably have been squicked by the romanticised incest plot anyway, but when your novel also involves characters and incidents I recognise from your family, it's just hugely uncomfortable. (Thank God I read it before I carried out my plan to give it to Mum for Christmas).

10. .... seriously?
