Thanks for the comments on my last post. I didn't reply to them all, just because I don't know what else to say except for excessive hearting. They're all really appreciated, believe me. Today was her funeral. I don't really like funerals (which sounds really dumb when I say it, because...who does?), but I feel like I got some...closure, I guess?--out of it.

And. Seriously. Will the anon LJ gift-givers please unmask themselves? I have an inkling, but people are denying.

Mmmkay, anyway. This has been going around and danbi tagged me, so...

Pick 10 people and give them the "You Make My Day" award. If you're picked, you are charged with picking 10 of your own (please don't feel the need to add me to your list if you do it).

♥ bouncy - I've been having a ton of fun with you lately~ The weird hours I keep make it hard to keep in touch with a lot of people, but the time zone difference really works out in my favor with you, and I'm glad of it, because getting to know you has been so nice.

♥ danbi - We may not talk really often, but I always love it when we do. You're smart and funny, and one of the things about you I like best is the way you communicate. You get me thinking about things; sometimes new ideas, or more often, you just manage to phrase something in such a way that I can approach it from a different angle. And for me, seeing you trying to improve yourself is very inspiring and makes me want to be a better person, too.

♥ darth_snuggles - You're one of the smartest, sweetest, funniest people I know. I've been extreme fail at commenting lately, so we don't talk as much as we used to, but seeing your name pop up on my flist always makes me smile. I just know you are destined for great things!

♥ emlan - I really don't know how you manage to be so consistently entertaining. I suspect some sort of pact with the devil. It seems like not a day goes by that I don't see something on my flist from you--art, commentary, whathaveyou--that makes me smile.

♥ faemous - By now I think of you as one of my closest friends--not just on the intarwebs, but in general--and I treasure you. It seems almost surreal the way our friendship developed, but now I couldn't imagine my life without it. I know I don't always share my emo woes with you (I still feel like a whiner), but you have been my rock more times than you know. Thanks for always being there for me. And of course, meeting you in person was completely awesome, despite my stupid cold. Next time in Minnesota~!

♥ hallowd - You're amazing. No, really. You're so thoughtful and eloquent and talented that sometimes I just have to wonder how I had the good fortune to have met & fallen in with you. And if that wasn't enough, you're a gamer after my own heart (omg, Jade Empire sequel confirmed; must flail! fhsdjkfhasks). One of these days I'll remember to actually sign into MSN again and catch you. (And yes, I should have that beta done for you soon.)

♥ planetgal471 - This might be kind of surprising, because with my horrible commenting habits of late, it seems like we barely talk lately, but. I still read, even if I'm lurky about it. Seeing your entries--the good & the bad things--I find you really inspiring, Jess, because you are tenacious and you don't give up, no matter what life throws at you. I love your passion.

♥ snuzzie - Beloved wife. Our Yukon romance will never die! I love your energy and enthusiasm; it's hard not to get excited too when you are flaily about something. But I also love your empathy and willingness to listen. There have been times when you have helped me so, so much, just by being around.

♥ tea_roses - I really think you are one of the best people ever. I know I've said it before, but you just have such a spark to you; your joie de vivre is infectious. I can't tell you how happy I was when you decided to come back to LJ.

♥ the_firefly - (Alphabetically) last, but definitely not least! I don't think you really know how much I miss being able to talk to you on a regular basis. You've been a friend through thick and thin, a voice of reason in the sea of crazy that is fandom, and of course my favorite pimp of them all~. Thanks for putting up with my flakiness (god, I still have that stuff to mail to you, ack) and sporadic internet. Rest assured that when I get a reliable connection again (should be sometime this spring!), I'll bug you again so much you'll probably get sick of me. ♥ And, we will have to have a meet-up one of these days!

There really are a bunch more people that I could name, but I decided to stick with ten, so these are the ones who came to mind first. If you are not on there, don't fret! Chances are I love you to pieces too. I pretty much think I have an awesome flist in general, though. ♥

Okay, I've overused the ♥ code enough for now, I think. Have a great day, guys!
