I'm so happy my heart could burst like a bally balloon.

Online friends rock. First fallofrain writes an entry about why she likes her online friends (mentioning names), and then I get a surprise birthday card from skylark97. roshi made me a valentine. sandradelete got all SQUEEE-y and happy about today's comic, which I was starting to hate by the time I put it up at about half one this morning. (But still...I got Tybalt all to myself while I was creating it. *Pats Tybalt and purrs* Preeeetty.)

My real-life friends rock too. They don't even need to do anything special; just being around is enough. Sarah put up with a lot of flak from me around our breakup, but we've gotten through that and moved on. Liam has been around and been there for me for so long. He makes me laugh. I can make him laugh. He probably knows me best out of all my friends, although Nat probably comes very close. Nat is just a wonderfully buoyant person. She can be very quiet, but I know all of coffee group love her (Yes, we have our own LJ community. Ph34r our intense geekiness). Saxon won't read this, but over the last year I feel that we've all come to know him a lot better, and consequently love him much more too. Tycho is....Tycho. And we're all much happier knowing that, I'm sure.

Sara and Carol I haven't known very long at all, but already I feel like I've known them my whole life. Luisa I've met twice, and I'm greatly looking forward to getting to know her better over the next while (in the literal sense, Tych). I love my sister Nyssa. She's an amazing person with a great wry sense of humour. I like to think that she got it from me. *grins*

I feel very happy that people are finding Wackiness Ensues funny and that they're enjoying it. We're just here to spread the love around. I consider myself a writer, so the fact that no-one has derided me for my artwork very reassuring. It's not as complex or detailed as I would like, but I find drawing incredibly difficult.

And just general comment to all of you; you all rock. Don't change a thing. Or change, if you want to. That's good too. Love you all.

That ended up being a much longer post than I had anticipated, but I think this is just a general thanksgiving. I'm incredibly happy with the shape my life is at the moment. Yes, stuff happens that I don't enjoy, but I think I'm much happier with myself and the people around me than I was even two years ago. I love you all, and I mean that.

[Edit: I still need to learn how to use LJ user tags... *grins* ]
[Edit 2: Saxon just got himself an LJ. Who'da thunk it?]

Awww... *warm fuzzies* I feel all special now!

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

That was my aim; to spread the love around and try to give you all a general indication of how much you mean to me. *hugs*

Woo hoo! That's always a good thing.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Yep... :)

Mwah.

Frankly, I don't love Saxon, no matter how much I get to know him. But thank you for that reassuring "Tycho is .... Tycho"

And yes, I took it in the literal sense. One can't really take that in the metaphorical sense, what with your evil intentions upon Louise (sp?). Though, one does wonder when you're finally gonna properly 'gloomph' her so we can stop wondering if you two will really hit it off or be just good friends. Sorry, my mind is tired, my body aches, and this damnable mocha is keeping me up.

*gloomph*

Happy Birthday.

Meh. We do love Saxon. He's that cousin that was always vaguely weird and you didn't talk to much until you went away with his family and you were the only two over the age of ten and below the age of forty five, so you spend copious amounts of time in each other's company and realise that hey, he isn't so bad after all.

*sweet smile*

. . .
Christ, y'know I think the line Cordelia says in Today's Angel Episode where "I'm Cordelia. I don't think. I just know", kinda applies to you.
Just knowing stuff isn't good enough dear. Perhaps a little more thinking, from other people's perspectives, especially ones so inhumane as mine might give you a better understand why I think your answer doesn't really count.

Re: Mwah.

[shinyandnat.livejournal.com]

I THINK. A lot of thought went into that comment.

And besides, you don't count in the general we. That's... kinda.. um... just me and Dani. Haven't really talked to anyone else extensively about Saxon.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Well, I couldn't think of anything specifically reassuring about my Tycho Friendship (TM). It just general Tychoness.

And unlike you, I think I'd like to get to know the girl first before I indulge in copious amounts of public *ahem* affection.

[xilonen.livejournal.com]

Thank you sweetie.

I think I sucked Nat's warm squishy feeling away from her because that's just made my day.

I'm glad you feel the same way about me as I feel about you.

*hugs*

Bleh.

[twelveeyes.livejournal.com]

Why is everyone so happy? Meh. This is the kind of weather we should be feeling all unhappy about...and also...uggh...tests...lots of tests...
Not that I'll fail any, but :( all the same. Hrmm. Shall try not to be gloomy.

Be happy while it lasts.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Thanks, lovey.

Re:

[tycho.livejournal.com]

Thank you for all that stuff about tycho-ness.

And yes, I did get to know Sarah before I indulged in said public affection. I knew her for a solid year before we hooked up ! ... Then again, looking back at my other r-ships, I can say with utter confidence and slight shame that I barely knew them when I hooked up with them.

Wow... Nice to know someone thinks I have a good sense of humour. Btw, you can fill me in on the user tag thingys for here when you work it out. I've always wondered how to do that.
Happy belated b'day. I haven't really spoken to you much lately and I'm not sure if i actually wished you a happy b'day. *grins*

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

I can show them to you, or you can find them in the FAQ. Choice is yours. :)

I'll be home on Sunday, though. We're going to see Wendy Rule in the evening, but we're having our Family Birthday Lunch (TM) during the day.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Glad to have made you happy. :)

Re: Bleh.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Um...okay. By the way, school doesn't matter anywhere near as much as they try to suggest that it does. Just try to enjoy yourself and not fail.

Re:

[xilonen.livejournal.com]

Happiness is good. I like being happy.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

As do I.
