I want to thank you all again, as I might for a while, for such a beautiful birthday! Art is a powerful thing, and you all were so thoughtful, and so dear! I greatly appreciate what you did, all my FeFiRoans, and I luff you so much!
So, that was the part of the long thirty-four hour day, when I strolled into the FeFiRo to look for replies to notify before another homework run, and saw that thread! My heart went so fast I think it was an attack, and I squeaked and ran around my room! That was fantastic, and I'm still happy now! A beautiful way to start out the day.
A friend of mine was the first person to verbally say it to me about lunch time, when I was in third period (Philosophy). She said a phrase I so rarely heard, and gave me a book and her ramen. I was happy then too, although guess who I was thinking about during much of that class?
FeFiRo, of course! Wow. Way to go for an impactful event! And even now I plot the immanent counter-attack. *giggled merrily*
Still, guys. I love you very much. I don't know how many forms I can express it in (hopefully many more in the summer), but you've really crowned my life! And Trixi literally crowned me, thank you darling. Hunter also gets special vampiric luff too. And the rest of the art, from all my friends? Amazing. Just so, so amazing. Everyone had something I liked best, and I can't wait to surprise you back!
Other people through parts of the day (and the Book of Faces) congratulated me on reaching another year. In junior year, I couldn't even imagine making it past eighteen, but here I am! Another tally etched in the bark of my world. I feel kinda proud, you know? Getting this far in one piece.
My sparring partner saved me from getting frostbite and losing my toes, which I thank him for nearly endlessly; the blizzard had gotten to town three hours early, but there was still water on the street. No visibility and yet the snow melted? This is Eastern weather! Anyway, I got my feet soaked and was rescued, as well as bestowed upon three Celtic music cds. Tribute to my homelands! That was exciting, as then we talked about his history for a while...*giggled at the fact he was so fiercely proud of being an Aztec descendant* It's really no wonder we're sparring partners, right? The Scots and the Aztec simply loved the history of violence...
I thank Court again for the rather odd pair of dungarees that she got me; I know it's much like a cat-suit, and I know exactly why you got it and why you asked me not to wear a shirt underneath, but I adore you anyway.
So, I live. That was a beautiful day, topped off with getting a little work done and pondering homework. It's a lovely week, period. On Tuesday (Earth Day) when all the buses are free, when Kouryu and I run to Denver, I'm going to see if there isn't cake pocky! This year is one to celebrate. Celebrate for all of the people who've helped me through, and then come together to make it more rocking and spectacular then I had thought it could be!
It may be the day after, from all the congratulations and the hugs and luff that so came to me through text (parts of me still hunger for the real things, and don't you think I won't claim them someday)...it may be after that day. However, I'm still just as happy, and even more grateful. And I'm still here. I see the holes and where the burns remain, but I'm still here, and I'm happy.
I'm going to cling to today, and try to make the others much happier.
