Sooooooooo. [grins]
It's Haru's BIRTHDAY TODAY. RIGHT NOW. Well, for her it was three hours ago but FOR THOSE OF US ON THE WEST COAST IT'S RIGHT NOW. XO So of course, in grand tradition (which isn't so much tradition because I am doing this totally on the fly, HAHAHA GO ME!), I'm gonna be saptastic about it. :D
Yanno, Haru loves telling the story about how the first time I e-mailed her, she spazzed and went crazy and stuff like that; if you listen to what she says, it was like some grand revelation that a so-called BNF could be human, as well. [grins] My side of it is that, you know, I'd read her Slayers fics and liked them, but I'd never really *followed* Slayers that far when I had, so couldn't say anything. Good Omens, now, at least that one I knew well enough to make a judgement call, so I did. We ended up e-mailing back and forth, which went to AIM, and has pretty much continued through periods of absolutely NO shared interests and spotty access, bad times and good times and just times. Somewhere along the way, it went from talking every now and then to a regular nightly thing, and now it's like if she's not on, I roll around and am hideously bored without my coconspirator to harrass. And whadaya know, almost four years later, we're still here. ♥
Now, I'm gonna guess the majority of you guys (since, honestly, I don't know the majority of you guys and will assume you've friended me for fic/fandom reasons) know of Haru through her LJ, or through her fic -- and while the LJ is a pretty damn accurate representation of her personality, she's a lot more than that. She's one of the most patient people I know, and one of the smartest; no matter what kind of crappy day she's having, if I tell her I'm not feeling well either, she's always sympathetic and willing to listen. I trust her with pretty much everything I do or say or think, because I know if I ask her, it won't ever go beyond what I tell her. Without question, she's one of the most trustworthy and outright generous people I know, even if it sometimes drives me crazy because I worry about people taking advantage of that. XD; (... then again, she worries about me more than I sometimes think she should, so I guess we're even. XD)
And you know, even if she's not always had the easiest or best of times, she almost always (and I say almost, because she's still human, and that makes things better, because it's not some ideal, but a PERSON) is cheerful and kind and tolerant; she's one of those people by whom I put the personal guideline where dude, you must've done REAL SUCK to piss this person off. She's my writing partner and co-conspirator and fellow fangirl, and she's also one of the best people I know, and the best friend anyone could have. And I damn well hope this birthday goes well for her, because damnit, she DESERVES it. More than anyone else I know.
Who can say if I've changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better.
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good.
♥♥♥♥ Happy birthday, Haru.
