Writing smut. Reading smut. Word challenges. People watching. Gigglesnorts. Blushes.
Bliss.
We both know I’m going straight to hell, but if ever I should catch a glimpse of heaven, that’s what it would look like.
Oh, and Rob will be there buck nekkid, in all his parka peen glory, doling out massages. (hey, this is my version of paradise).
~xXx~
Oh MsK, who knew the past year would bring so many moments of treasured friendship? I got to see you in person, in the flesh (!), twice. Like that wasn’t heaven enough right there! I don’t know if there is anyone on the planet that knows me quite so well as you, and there isn’t anyone I would trust more with my secrets. You are so full of love, kindness, acceptance, and wit. I’m amazed by how much your heart is able to hold. In a place like the Fandom, where there is epic snarkery and backstabbing, you are still always there with kind support. You aren’t afraid to ask the hard questions, but there is never any judgment or malice underneath it—simply a sense of nurturing wisdom. You are nothing less than an extraordinary person and I’m grateful for our friendship. Who else would put up with my 4 AM e-mail rants? ;)
I’m not sure you are even aware of this, but I think that you, more than any other person on this earth, are responsible for the empowerment I’ve gained in being part of the Fandom. It all started with reading your stories, then grew into trading e-mails back and forth, and I learned so much from you. Slowly, gradually, my eyes were opened, and I became who I am today. I honestly believe I couldn’t have become as comfortable as I am in my own skin without your unequivocal support and encouragement. Through panic attacks, tears, laughter, and fun, you’ve been there for me. In a crisis, you are never hesitant to drop everything—and your bit of everything is huge—to help out a friend. You are the epitome of unconditional love.
It doesn’t matter that I’m older than you are; I still want to be you when I grow up. Clearly, I will never grow up, but at least it’s something to aspire to. On your birthday, please know and understand how much you are loved and respected. The world is a better place for your having been in it.
