For reference, comments that you write that are All About You are completely welcome in this journal, always. I am ridiculously pro-comment, and in the rare situation where I know certain (or any) comments would not be welcome, I'll filter the post, leave a bolded comment policy at the bottom, or turn off comments entirely. (Boy do I love that dreamwidth lets you do this)
Tea or ice cream or a walk sometime would be very lovely, yes!
1st answer --The stickers are a'ight, I quite like the stickers. In general, I like praise from you-specific when I'd be more indifferent to it from a general population. My sense of your ringing is that you value the same things I do --precision and accuracy-- and I have a lot of trust in the fact that you're *not* going to give me false praise, and you're going to understand if I respond to "that was pretty good" with "well, not the first lead"
2nd answer -- please don't be? It's so _very_ much more a reflection on me than on the question. And I promise you, I did put a _lot_ of emotion into my answer, it's just that most of that emotion was on the "waaaaay too much and kinda sad" side, so I stripped it down to be as utilitarian as possible in the end. I found my initial notes of it, and may post them as well.
(Part of the problem was also that I was in the middle of a lot of Sad Life Bullshit right then which has, as predicted, settled out and is no longer nearly so severe a problem. I do find a really interesting contrast of that answer with my recent answer about "what do y'all wanna ring on quarterpeal day" where I divided things into "trivial, probable, and stretch".)
