Thank you thank you

I forgot to post something on the actual day of my one-year* LJ anniversary (Oct 25), so I'll say it now:

Thank you to everyone I've met here in LJ Land during the past year. I can't believe I joined a year ago -- it seems as if I've known y'all for much longer than that. At first, I came for the fandom, and all you fandom people have been more than fuel for the fire that is our mutual obsession. But many of you have become much more than just fellow fandom-squee-a-holics.

To all:

- So thanks for being friends, too.
- Thanks for supporting me during my fears over my sister's Western China trek during SARS, and over my mother's West Nile and my father's leg and cancer woes, and so on.
- Thank you even more for all your heart-felt support and love for me and bunnyohare during our wedding, and thank you for voting pro-gay during the elections, even though many of you aren't gay.
- Thank you for making me laugh with your funny fan fiction and your insightful social and political commentary.
- Thank you for making me cry with your angsty fan fiction, your searing political analyses, and your insightful personal entries on your own lives.
- Thank you for all the rps and rpg; a year ago, I would have been horrified by it, and now I am the biggest of fans.
- Thank you for helping the Bunny through some depressing times.
- Thank you for the intellectual challenges, and for getting me to be more confident about writing.
- Thank you for your help with vidding.
- Thank you for some kick-ass icons.
- Thank you for reading this silly thank-you list.

To keever, thank you for all that and also for introducing me to this crazy LJ world in the first place. :-)

* Er, one year of the paid account. Yeah, there were those six "free account" months first, but who's counting? Everyone likes to get thanked as often as possible. ;-)
