Dear Kassiah,
When I first jumped into this fandom head first and became overwhelmed immediately by the size and diversity of it, I remember this one, calm voice that always seemed to be around. It was this chick who seemed to REALLY dig oranges and Edward. The Edward thing I got ... the oranges were a mystery to me at first. I asked someone and they gave me a "LOL ... just ask her. She's the sweetest person in the fandom." Well, I blanched. I saw her follower list and I'd heard her name. She wouldn't answer me. But I asked anyway. And you know what, that person was right. You really are the sweetest person in the fandom.
We don't know each other really well, but I feel like you're one of the few people in this big online jungle that is really and truly there for anyone who needs them. I remember a short but laughter-filled skype call the night of my first readlong and how you sort of held my hand through it. You didn't have to call, but you went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable. You're a very special person, and I feel lucky to know you.
Thank you for all you do. I hope your birthday is full of OJward and locker secks and cupcakes. I hope you get reams of brightly colored crafting paper and that you get an ENTIRE day to use them. :-) Thanks for being you, bb. Happy Birthday!
~Jen, aka Javamomma
