Six Years Ago, in a Forum Far Far Away

[spatz]

Happy LJ-versary to meeeeeeee!!!

I totally meant to post earlier, but apparently six years on LJ has still not taught me to avoid TV Tropes and their seductively-titled pages about Bald of Awesome or MacGuffin Delivery Service. (Though I did clarify my love of Guile Heroes versus their villain counterparts, the Magnificent Bastards, and learned a new word for the whole team/crew/unit-that-acts-like-family trope that I love.) And four years of college still has not taught me that napping is a bad idea when I have plans, because I never wake up promptly.

But I have learned a lot of other useful things from my time in fandom, and I never regret falling in with you hooligans. My journal is a quiet one (I comment five times as much as I receive comments, and my profile tells me I average a post every fortnight or so) and my flist is small, but I love every one of y'all - even when you shame me into changing my spelling of y'all. (I finally admitted defeat, btw, in exchange for making Lindsey publicly correct Jon Walker's spelling)

Some special love has to go to bexless, who gave me an LJ code to get a journal back in the day, and thedorkygirl, who lured me over in the first place and gave me my default icon, which I have used for six years straight and still adore, and inmyriadbits, my eternal partner in crime and clone. But you all bring interesting things and words into my life, and I am a different, richer person for being in fandom.

So, as I am feeling hobbit-y and fond, I am offering presents! I have little money, but you can ask for ficlets, or recs, or you could force me to display my terrible art skills in public. If you've been searching for a song and suspect I might have it, want to see pictures of something, or need recipes for delicious soup, or play with my Tarot cards for you, just ask. If you want to trust me with your address (muahahaha), I can make you cookies or chocolate things, or send you a postcard. Because you are all worth it.

Done and done! Now you get to guess which two I did, and if you guess correctly I'll give you a third ;)

Uh...salsa and cookies? :D? Unless you bought me a My Little Pony, which would be admittedly awesome.

Random, but I just read a hysterically funny NCIS fic: These Things Do Happen (http://xparrot.livejournal.com/99137.html). Abby, McGee, and Ziva, with some fantastic dialogue. It's by the same writer who did The Sand Trap for MFU, it's AWESOME. :D

Close, but no cigar! Guess you won't be getting that tarot reading. *pats*

*looks sick and pitiful*

Ahahahah, Ziva and Abby are the worst friends EVER in that fic! But they'd make pretty good sisters. Poor Tim ♥

Hee, I know! Good thing Tim's used to smart-aleck sisters, right? I think that's one of the best Ziva-voices I've seen, and I love the way we see her the way McGee must -- exasperated sibling-like affection mixed with abject terror. :D

SO much word.
