Happy New Year!

[mere_ubu]

I just wanted to pop in quickly and thank everyone for a wonderful first year in the fandom. I've had a blast getting to know y'all better and consider your presence in my life a blessing each and every day. *big hugs* I'd like to say more about how rough this year has been for a lot of people and how sincerely I hope that 2009 brings more bright moments for all of us, but someone is growing impatient and wants to "get this bloody party started already!"


*throws arms wide* Vampagne for everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR'S, MY PRETTIES!! MWAH!!!

Happy New Year, Mere!!!!!

You've made this year so much more fun than the surgeon general allows. Your spaikus and doll!pics have brightened up many a day here at casa Adri. So, thank you for your incredible sense of humor and obsession with dolls.

HUGS!!

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, Adriana! *smooshes you* I'm honored to brighten any day I can. (And everyone knows that the surgeon general has set the recommended daily allowance of humor waaay too low. What a funsucker! Sheesh.) Hope you're having a lovely evening, and Happy New Year to youuuu!

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

*sniff* It's just so beautiful!

I second your emotion, sistah!

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

MiAmor says to tell you it's a good think you live far, far away, for your own safety. He thinks he might be a pest, otherwise. Really though, it's the potential damage to your delicate eardrums from all the guffawing.

Happiest of happys to you and yours.

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Bwahaa! Well, rest assured that I would wear my damaged eardrums as a badge of honor. I'm not the kind of gal to look a gift guffaw in the mouth. *frowns* Hmm. That made more sense in my head.

Same back atcha! I hope y'all are having a great evening, and I wish you many happy returns for the New Year.

P.S. Look for something in the mail towards the beginning of next week. ;)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! You are too great. I wish you blessings this year!

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you, darlin.' I'm a bit of a nutburger. (I'm sure you're shocked. Heh.) Shiny 2009 to you! And would it be terribly selfish of me to wish your muse a wonderful new year as well? *g*

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Terribly, terribly shocked. ;)

Thanks! And considering that I'm working on a Spuffy fic as we speak...no, not selfish at all!

Also, that icon is ridiculously great.

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Heh. I knew you'd be scandalized.

Yay for more Spuffy! Finding your fic has been such a treat.

beanbeans makes the most beautiful, tasteful icons, and then, every now and then, she makes a totally demented one like that. Predictably, they're always my favorites. ;)

And a big BWAH! to your rocket-launcher icon! That's one of my favorite silly Spuffy moments.

[ladyaelfwynn.livejournal.com]

Wow! Only your first year in fandom! (I've only been in about a year longer, I think, I'd have to do some checking.)

Looking forward to more fun, both spaiku and doll!pic!

Have a good one!

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Yep, and this is my first fandom experience. I'm a late bloomer!

Thank you! I've really enjoyed getting to know you better this year. Honest to Pete, one can never know too many librarians. Such interesting folks!

Happy New Year to you and yours, lady!

[ladyaelfwynn.livejournal.com]

Glad you found your way!

It's been fun reading your poetry and seeing your fun photos!

Creative people are so much more fun than those who aren't!

Hope y'all have a great 2009!

[nwhepcat.livejournal.com]

Happy new year, and I'm glad you're here with the rest of us fangirls!

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I'm glad to be here! When I found LJ, it felt like I'd stumbled upon the fangirl mothership. *g*

Happy New Year, and I wish you a warm, dry weekend.

[pfeifferpack.livejournal.com]

I'd love to pop his cork...ahem....that said... SO glad you are here and part of our little family. Happy new year!

Kathleen

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Heh-heh. Wouldn't we all! ;)

Thank you so much, Kathleen! I'm glad to be here.

Happy New Year to you and yours!

[powerofthebook.livejournal.com]

Bwah! Guess he's been shaken up...

Happy 2009, Mere! You've brightened many a cold day with your cheer and your amazing sense of humor and artistry (both poetical and poseable)

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

*whispers* Poor little guy. He's still sleeping off the hangover in the cardboard castle. And now I have to figure out how to get champagne stains out of the ceiling.

Aww, thanks, darlin! I'd send you some warm weather if I could, too. ;)

[herself_nyc]

Marvelous! Happy new year to you, chica!

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Same back atcha, amiga! :D

[botias.livejournal.com]

Happy New Year!

You've brightened many a day with your spiffy sense of humor and your spuffy sense of the ridiculous. May 2009 come up roses for you and our favorite plastic vampire. Perhaps if he pours enough champagne into one of the ever-elusive plastic Buffy's, she will brighten his new year.

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Thank you, my dear! I've really enjoyed getting to know you better this year. (The smut was most welcome as well. I may not have mentioned that before. Heh.)

Ah, poor doll!Spike. The Buffys are so very unimpressed with him in all his incarnations. Perhaps 2009 will be luckier for him. Perhaps not. ;)

[botias.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. It was my pleasure.

What doll!Spike needs is a Buffy!bot!doll... >:)

[missus-grace.livejournal.com]

I'll drink to that!

Currently, bugbug has talked Grandpa into playing the Wii. She, Grandma and Grandpa were jamming earlier on Wii Music, but Grandma pooped out and she talked Gramps into Wii Play. She'll probably outlast us all in staying up till midnight.

Happy New Year, darling!

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie! Hope you had a great day.

Ha! I had a devil of a time staying up until midnight, but Z. was all over it. *sigh* I'm ooold.

[diachrony.livejournal.com]

What a delicious way to greet the new year! ;-)

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Thank you, ma'am! Hope that 2009 is treating you well.

P.S. I've got my airplane ticket to Writercon, and I'm looking forward to meeting you this year! :D

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

Happy 2009 to you and yours! Let's hope that this year bring good things - and good health - to all of you.

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Thank you, dear! Hope that 2009 is treating you well so far.

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Your Spike is a yummy way to start the New year.::Bisous::
All the best to you and your loved ones, Mere!

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie! Sadly, it's not real Champagne, but then, it's not quite real Spike either, is it? ;)

Happy New Year to you and yours! *hugs galore* Hope that 2009 is treating you well so far.

[gillo]

Only a year? It feels like I've known you forever.

Your creativity inspires us all.

Especially your rude doll!pics.

And I've loved getting to know you.

Have a wonderful and even more creative new year!

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Aww, me too! I can't imagine how I got along without my LJ friends before. I've had a wonderful time getting acquainted with you this year.

*lol* Thank you! I'm glad that the rude humor is good for something besides alarming my coworkers.

Good 2009 to you! I'm going to somewhat selfishly wish you more travel opportunities; I've so enjoyed the vicarious journey. :)

[louise39.livejournal.com]

Happy New Year to you and your family!!

A sip of the bubbly to a great year ahead [and more Spaikus]

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Thank you dear! Happy 2009 to you and yours.

*crosses fingers* I'm hoping to get back in Spaiku writing mode next week once everyone else goes back to work and school. I still have another week of freedom. ;)

[c-woodhaven.livejournal.com]

Happy New Year, sweetie!

This year was so much brighter with you in it!

*hugs you tight*

Have a fantastic 2009

~calypso

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Thank you, darlin! I feel exactly the same way. *smooshes you* I've had a great time getting to know you.

Happy 2009 to you!

P.S. I finally got the package to your cherubs in the mail yesterday. Sorry that I'm such a flake! It should be there by Monday. If you don't have it by mid-week, let me know. I'm thinking that there may be an Arkansas-Georgia Bermuda mail triangle. ;)

[c-woodhaven.livejournal.com]

You are not a flake, silly. They'll be so excited! S got a kid tough mp3 player for Christmas, and he's been carrying it around playing anything and everything that catches his fancy...so I know that he'll be excited to put new music on it. And I will be so thankful to retire the car CD for something new. =)

Thanks so much for doing that, sweetie!

*hugs*
~calypso

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Oh good! Then he'll be rarin' for some new tunes. We had a good time deciding what they might like. I also put Z's thank-you note to you in the package. It's in verse! I caught her trying to write it in the dark after lights-out the night that Ruby arrived. Hopefully, you'll be able to decipher it! *g*

I really am terrible about mailing things. It's a moral failing! I'll have something all ready to go, and there it will sit. *facepalm* Srsly, I've had babies outgrow the outfits I bought them before I could send them along.

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

It's been just one year for me too, and I loved it, and your Spaikus have been a shining part of it...not to mention how whenever I see the link for some of your doll!fic I immediately go "God, how gross is it going to be today?" and then I rush to click it with great anticipation--and they never disappoint.
In today's one you brought the infamous Vampagne to a whole new low with that Big Bad Cork speech.
Shame on you and your naughty dolls, and have a great new year!

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

"God, how gross is it going to be today?"

Hahaha! I'm ridiculously pleased that this is your first reaction. People who enjoy my terrible sense of humor are more precious than gold.

I'm so glad we both found our way to LJ this year. Your cartoons never fail to amaze and amuse me, and I always smile when I see that I have comment from you. Wow, and any time you feel like posting more pics of your sculptural skills, you just go right ahead!

Happy 2009 to you! *lol* I will try to have a good time despite (or more likely, because of) the shame. ;)

Tell me he finally let you pop that cork

[missmurchison.livejournal.com]

You've only been here a year? You're so indispensable. How did we manage without you?

Re: Tell me he finally let you pop that cork

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

*lol* That poor little doll. The indignities he's suffered! I fear that he will have to endure many more before I'm done with him.

Aww, thank you. I can't imagine how I got along without LJ and you wonderful folks!

Happy 2009 to you! I'm looking forward to meeting you at Writercon this year. :)

[silverusagi]

Happy New Year to you, your family, and of course doll!Spike! ;)

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie! Happy New Year to you and yours as well. Finding you and your fic this year has been such a treat.

Poor doll!Spike is still sleeping off his champagne hangover in the cardboard castle, but I'll pass your wishes along once he's sobered up. ;)
