On a much happier note - it's a year since I joined LJ! I had some bright ideas about what I was going to do, but I haven't had the time - I'll try to do it this weekend. Mainly, though, I just want to say how much fun I've been having, and how much you guys brighten my life, every day. You're an incredibly intelligent, fun, caring, interesting, thought-provoking, squeeful, inspiring bunch, and I love you all THIS MUCH! :) *squishes you all*

Being on LJ has enabled me to start talking again to old friends, make new friends, actually meet people in real life from just chatting on LJ, and spend hours and hours on AIM (*g*). I've written fic, pr0n, crack!fic, snippets, and WIPs (my stargate_fic tag has 80 entries!), and I've read stories that have been so unbelievably brilliant in a myriad of different ways, and which will stay with me forever. I've made icons. I've become a mod. I've laughed out loud, and made very high-pitched noises about all sorts of nonsense. I've had post from the other side of the world, been cheered up when I felt down, read about and discussed much more serious things such as feminism and prejudice, and some things that are of more specific interest to me, such as writing, science fiction, fandom, humour, television, and the hairstyles on Stargate. I couldn't be more surprised at the impact it's had on me. Srsly, dudes.

And, omg, someone wrote me a POEM on

pellucid's anonymous love meme!!! *is completely speechless*

*goes to add own votes of love*
