Today marks the first anniversary of this journal. I found my way to LJ in the fall of ought-seven from Bugger This so that I could read ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
herself_nyc's works in progress. I'd never planned on keeping a journal of my own until louise39, bless her heart, PM'd me to say that she enjoyed my comments and wanted to know if she could friend me and read my LJ. I confessed that I didn't have one but that I'd be tickled to have a first friend all the same. After some insomniac ruminating on the idea of a journal and what the hell I'd write in one, I came up with a few haiku, changed my lame-o lurking username to the one I use everywhere else, loaded up on icons over at earth_vexer's, and made my first post. Since then, I've posted 177 journal entries, 157 Spaiku, and 24 doll!fics. I've also made many new friends (and even met a few of them), gone to an academic conference on the Jossverse, chalked up a couple of nominations, been the subject of a slanderous fic, had the best birthday ever, bought a plane ticket to Writercon, and been added to the reading list of 85 people. In short, I've had nothing but fun here with you wonderful people since January 31 last rolled around.
As a little thank you to Louise for that life-changing nudge in the right direction and also to honor her suggestion that I put the Spaiku in some kind of searchable order, I've finally organized links to the Spaiku and doll!fic. *points to the left* See? No more squinting at tags. Also, I've announced in authoritative tones that I will be spending a couple of hours tomorrow with the haiku notebooks, so hopefully there will be more Spaiku here before too long.
Thanks for a great first year of fandom fabulosity, flist o' mine! \0/

I started posting mainly because it is fun - and it is the one thing that NO ONE in my real life knows about me. It's nice to have one tiny art of my life that will someday surprise my family...
Congrats on your anniversary. I'm happy to know you!

Happy Fanniversary! Happy, happy, joy, joy!
Gosh! You seemed so *ahem* experienced when I came along a few months later, also at the urging of Herself. But you were just a whippersnapper, albeit with a snappy wit. You've made a lot of people really happy, a lot of times, I hope you know. (Best stay away from Angel, missy!)
You've been a major instigator for my bad behavior, for which I thank you profusely. And now you're putting even more funny ideas in my head. WriterCon? It seems like such a distant thing...

I hope you know what a wonderful person you are , how very much appreciated and cherished you are here.:)
Let’s do a little dance for Louise who decided to nudge you in the right direction!
May you always enjoy being on lj like we enjoy having you , with your marvelous friendship and unique poetic contributions . ((hugs))

Well, it's your fanniversary, so you pretty much get to determine what you think constitutes one. *raises glass to LJ and liberty*

P.S. I hid from shrieky little girls this morning and ate Brent & Sam's cookies in my closet. I felt sure you would approve. ;)

I bought some Brent & Sam's yesterday, and squirreled them away in my larder for when I'm feeling abused, which should be any day now.

Re: Happy Fanniversary! Happy, happy, joy, joy!
Hee! Thank you, sweet thing. I'm glad that it wasn't too obvious that I was having a Fisher-Price My First Fandom experience. Srsly, I didn't know that fanfic existed before I found Herself. M. Mere has patiently tolerated my geekery this year to the point that I've finally quit saying that I'm just sociologically curious about the whole fandom thing. *snicker* Yeah, like he was buying that anyway. "There are people who right high-quality pr0n involving characters I care about. I must do more studies! Smut for science!"
Speaking of science, independent research confirms that LJ is indeed a measurably more fun place with you around. :D
*whispers* WriterCon. C'mon, Reb, everybody's doing it! I was a little nervous at the prospect of going, especially since I don't actually write fic in the traditional sense, but it seems as though it's also a place for readers as well. And, like I told Philips, if we've made a huge mistake, well, there's always the Mall of America.

*blinks* You really do make excellent icons. *stares some more* I'm just gonna chill here for a minute, okay?

Thanks, lady! Have I told you how much I love reading your journal? Srsly, I read and I laugh until I make the honking sounds. I was doing the nightly Scanning of the Flist last week and nearly horked up a lung laughing, and the mister was like, "It's that Patti woman again, isn't it?" When I could breathe, I was like, "Heeeee, so funny! Now go away."
