Warning: This entry contains overuse of the word "awesome."
Guys, guys, it's
zabira's birthday today! She is, trufax, the best ever.
See, Z and I turned up in dS and C6D fandom at right about the same time in July 2007, and so we decided to be New At This together and be squeeful and basically conduct capslocky comment trains together. Soon after there was basically a prenup in which I promised to keep her in picspam if she'd podfic Ray/Ray stories, and then we were internet married and it was awesome.
I met Z IRL at
bitchinparty, where she graciously accepted me as a roomie sight-unseen. Happily for her, I wasn't some kind of mild-mannered Canadian axe-murderer. Or, you know, not MUCH more of a weirdo than I come off online. Long story short: it was awesome and I made her write me BSG RPF. Influencing Zabira became a pastime of mine. I pretty much got her to buy tickets to Toronto before
can_con2008 was even planned, because I am just that good. And, really, she was morally obligated to be there.
So that was also super-awesome. Z introduced the useful phrase "I'd take him/her down like a rodeo calf" which made no sense, especially when she substituted the word "clown" at the end. And also flirted hilariously with the guy at the Patrician Grill. Or was flirted-with. It was awesome, anyway, and she blushed bright red.
Since then I have not even seen Z off the internet, which is a damned crime even though there have been several hundred emails. Guys, Z is awesome. She is just as warm and funny and capslocky and smart and snarky in person and I love her to tiny bits. Did I mention she was awesome? And she's an excellent source of porn -- as podfic, recs or her very own fics (which you should read.)
Z is one of my very favourite people on the internet and off, and now she is all growed up. Or not.
