Flist appreciation time.
Dec. 8th, 2007 06:47 pmI want to tell you (that means you) how great you all are.
When I'm whining and tearing my hair out about school, life, my miserable family ... you're all there with a pat on the back, a word of encouragement, large cans of spinach delivered by Sam Winchester -- it helps.
When I'm desperately seeking a beta on a fanfic, or an opinion on an essay ... you're all there, ready to help, to offer opinions and suggestions -- you're invaluable.
When I'm bored, or my mind freezes from overwork, or I'm just tired and procrastinating ... you're all there, posting away, telling your entertaining stories about your lives, about fandom. You offer stories, recs, reviews, meta -- and you're all so interesting.
Posting comments is agonizingly slow on dial-up so I lurk more than I reply, but I want to say how much I enjoy the voyeuristic thrill of glimpses into your lives, you're endless creativity -- you guys are really cool.
I know this is a bit superstitious and "New Age-y" of me, but deep down, I think my life improves just when you're pulling for me. I can't tell if it's an absurd illogical view of karma I have, or if it's just that you make me see things differently. But whatever it is -- you help.
So. I don't know what to do except to offer brownies ("brownies") and Christmas cookies ("cookies") and post stories and stuff, just to say thank you.
