wish you joy and your heart's desire and your first kiss from a boy

So. A year ago today, the Wee Sister and I were in Baltimore, being brainwashed. Squick and Glassapple showed us footage and videos and merchandise galore, and I stayed up all night every night reading fic by [livejournal.com profile] apetslife and [livejournal.com profile] allen_sama and [livejournal.com profile] rhyssj and [livejournal.com profile] cherry_lips and [livejournal.com profile] alestar and probably more people whose names I'm forgetting.

And by the time we came back home, I was working out a bunny for a silly sappy pointless JoeC fic and discovered that [livejournal.com profile] chootoy had liked the SDBs all along, alone and in shame, quietly, to herself. In November, I relented and got this journal. And it's been a wonderful, exciting, sparkly ride since then.

But, yes! Chris's birthday is the anniversary of my sweet, sweet ass being in the *nsync fandom. Which is good, because it's an easy way to remember. Even if I did swear that no matter how much I succumbed to the others, I would never ever ever like Chris. Since then, I've learned the valuable lesson of shutting the fuck up, because I obviously have no idea what I'm talking about and don't want to rail against something and then end up loving it and looking like some backpedalling hypocrite.

Thanks, guys, for being a huge part of what makes this fandom so much damn fun (and also, to my otherfandom friends for putting up with the endless yapping about sparklies). After all, what good is a squee if there's nobody to do it with?

That's wonderful. Happy anniversary hun! You have been a very positive part of my fandom experience. *snuggle*

*TACKLEPOUNCESNUGGLE*

That's right, baby! I had almost forgotten. I think I talked in my journal incessantly for about a week after you guys left, saying how excited that you two had finally succumb to the Sparkly Side of the Force.

awww, you should be *here* so we can go out and celebrate. *pout*

happy anniversary !

It's nice to have a date you can firmly remember - I can't recall the date I succumbed, except it was several weeks/monthes bfore I got LJ. I've enjoyed having you here with me in good-natured taunting of Vali, as well as the continuation of the Schism acquaintance.

Happy Anniversary!

And I loved this: "Since then, I've learned the valuable lesson of shutting the fuck up..."

Spoken like a true Chris fan, lol.

Happy Anniversary!!! I for one am damn glad you're here, because you ROCK. And you're one of the very very very few people I've followed, albeit inadvertently, from one fandom to another. I like that. It gives me a sense of continuity. (I still giggle thinking about your Frank, all angry with organic beverages...)

Dude. After the brainwashing, I don't think we stood a chance. Besides, their tuneful brand of boy-pop was almost as luring as the constant dirty sex! Almost, I said. Mmmmm, GSF.

If you come back to Vancouver next year, we'll go drink to celebrate then. *snug*

Much taunting of Vali. That's always fun. ^_^

And yes, it's wonderful to have Schismites around--a smarter and funnier bunch of people there never were! Thank you, Dine! *snug*

*g* Well, y'know what they say--you always hate the person who reminds you of yourself. Or some psychobabble like that.

Which, I suppose, means that through the power of *nsync, I now love myself! Or at least, am fond of myself carnally, getting it on with JRT! Yay!

Thanks for the kind wishes, sweetie. *g*

*giggle* Frank is the best. Someday I shall get around to writing homicide!sync, I swear it! *shakes fist*

Thank you for the niceness, sweetie. It's so nice to have people who are multi-fandom and will understand your references. It would also be nice to read the completed version of moulin!sync, hint hint nudge nudge. *g*

Happy Anniversary! I know I went kind of MIA for a while, but I was always thinking of ya. Cuz you're cute and fun and always make me smile.

Oh, look! You just did it again.

Tell me about it! The constant exposure! The endless videos and music and fic! The repeated exclamations over their sweetness and hotness and that they would save me if only I would renounce my sins, otherwise known as the Backstreet Boys!

But hey, you guys did a pretty damn good job. Look at me now!

*weeps*




...just kidding. I love it. ^_^ Thank you, sweetie. *snuggle*

And I'm so glad you're back, because every now and again I'd stare disconsolately at my links for "Tres Noir" and such and be sad that I couldn't read them. So, yay! Hopefully bullshit-free fandom for everybody! *snuggle*

A-men to that!
