This year has been a whirlwind. In addition to the myriad celebrity deaths, I lost two outernet friends and two laptops. There were fights with family and arguments with loved ones, but none that were permanent. I fell in love.
I made a whole bunch of new fandom friends, and got even closer with old ones. I got to meet @aviva0017 in person for the first time (and she is even more gorgeous in person, shut the fuck up oh my god). Shoutout to @flukeoffate, @the-dragongirl, @notanightlight, @peggaboo-draws, @morvidra, @theriza, for always being around if I need to vent. Sansukh Cast Therapy has been a highlight of this year. Let’s hope it continues to grow and be the light that we all need it to be.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention @determamfidd; she is an incredible writer, an amazing person, and a fierce friend. I don’t have the words to describe what she means to me, and how grateful I am that she is a part of my life; I’d be a very different person if I hadn’t met her. Thank you, Dets. Thank you.
I went to Quebec for Halloween! My girlfriend @internaljohnologue flew me up there for a week to visit her for the first time, and I had a fucking blast. I spoke in a Quebecois accent for a week when I got home.
And finally, however much of a shitshow this year has been, it was the year that I got to meet @heuristicdevice in person, twice. The first time was in May, when she conspired with my husband to surprise me with a visit. The second time was for her birthday this November, where I was in cahoots with @aviva0017 and HD’s roommate to surprise her, only to cave two days before the trip and blab the whole thing. I’m terrible at surprises, apparently. Bright side, I made her cry with happiness, so. Win for me.
I adore you all, and I can’t wait to see what this next year has in store. (Hopefully a more updated podfic schedule OOPS)
oh god Ricky, I’m sniffling. Love you. And thank YOU.
