I've had a horrid week.

[bard_linn]

But I cannot post about it because it would be breaking confidentiality. So I ask all my online friends a favor:

Share with me a memory of how I made you smile, or how I helped you out. I'd love something personal, but if there is nothing else, I'd love to hear something from a fic that you loved.

This is a shameful-please-boost-my-ego-post but I could really use it. Onegai?

Well, I seem to recall fun times that were had when I ran into you, Liss, and your cousins at Otakon 2002...hehehe...

You helped me a lot when I was a noob on LJ and while I was struggling with A!S trads :D You introduced me to KH. (and about that... 20 Views of Sora is still amazing. You're very good at characterization.)

*hugs*

Aww, thanks Wayya! ^.^ *hugs back* I'm so glad you're all happily settled on LJ now. :)

You inspire me to keep trying to be a teacher :3

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

That is one of the most wonderful compliments I've ever been given. Thank you very much. <3

[celes-grant.livejournal.com]

No problem, but it's true. Even if I haven't gotten into the position I'd like to try out teaching, yet. These things take time, though, right? :3 I'll find my way~ You do inspire me.

Linn-twin~~~!!!! ::TACKLEHUG:: Sorry your week was made of fail! Also sorry that you're stuck keeping quiet about it! Maybe try writing on actual paper and then destroying the paper after the fact? It's not the same, but it's helped me a time or two with something I couldn't say for fear of being fired, etc. And just... ::HUGS::

Happy memory time~~~ Well, you *know* one of my all time favourite memories is that time we both wrote almost the exact same fic on the exact same day and then merged them together into one big fic that was ZOMG better than either one ever was to start with.

Or when we skipped fandoms together, and slid around through FMA and FF7 and KH? 'Cause the only thing better than having a new fandom is having a good friend to squee over the fandom with~~~

Or how about all those times when I'm angsting and trying to make big scary life decisions and am absolutely going out of my mind, but then along comes a certain someone~~~ who not only says the usually calming stuff but actually has real and helpful advice? Because you *know* how much that helps me, and then extends into a general happiness that goes along with everything. Heck, you did it again less than a month ago, when I couldn't decide whether or not to quit, and I'm *so* much happier now, and really, that's kind of your fault. But in a good way, if that makes sense?

Or just those times when you're you, and I read your LJ or or your IJ or or whatever and it in general makes me smile because you updating means you exist, and that's a good thing? Cause I'm fond of those too, however rare they are.

But yes~~ ::HUGS::

*cuddles her twin* This comment really uplifed my spirits. I'm so glad to read in your journal about how much happier you are at your new job.

*saves comment notification for reading next time she's sad*

*sheepish* Sry I can't be of much help with this, but no matter how much my day or week or month has sucked, going back and reading Butterfly Effect and its outtakes always manages to make it better.


Happy UnBirthday?

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Glad to know. People like you are why the story gets to typed form, rather than just sitting in our heads. :)

[alesca-munroe.livejournal.com]

*turns pink* Aw, thanks <3

You've definitely left me a lot of encouragement on my fanfiction, but more importantly than that, you encourage me with my real life, too. ^__^ It makes things easier knowing that I've got good friends behind me for just about everything.

Also, though this wasn't related to me directly - I loved the stuff you did for alter_series, and house_of_smex. It was all so cute and happy. ^___^

I'm sorry that your week hasn't been very kind to you, though, Linn. D:

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Good to hear from you. I wish we both had more time so we could talk more....Ah, for those old FMA days, huh?

[chofi.livejournal.com]

Unfashionably late, but still: inspiration! On the fanfic and teaching fronts.

Random things from BE: Sephiroth at Nibelheim with his adoring public. Tifa going against tradition and not having to land in Aeris's flowerbed to get the bodyguard gig. Cloud, overall.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Yes! BE!Tifa is so awesome that she doesn't need to land in a bed of flowers to get a job! ^.^
