Why is it when you're 13-16, the distance between you and 20+ year olds seems so much bigger? Now that I'm 21 (and I almost said 19. I still feel 19. That's kind of sad.), being friends with 23-28+ year olds doesn't seem so weird, but anyone closer to 30 friending me would have me wondering what's going on. So it's perfect that you're smack in the middle... except I'm still kind of in that SMRFF "She's one of the really cool prolific ones I really oughta worship!" Back when I was the youngest one/the n00b on SMRFF, that meant almost everyone was my onee-chan, and only a couple people REALLY intimidated me (like "zomg, you know who I am? I mean, you know that I exist?"). QS, the Other Meredith (aka Meredith Bronwen Mallory), and you were probably in that category. ^^;; I don't really know why I thought that way-- always walking on egg-shells.

And now, for my stupid moment-- I think once again I've gotten confused about the Megs/Mehgs (Mehgth?) thing. Different people, right? My brain is about as unreliable as a snowball in hell. I know I met one (and if it was you, go ahead and virtually shoot me for forgetting; like I said, Unreliable Brain), and got that cool anime CD which I still have almost all the tracks to (though I don't know what half the tracks are, or where they're from).

But to be a bit more specific, lately you've been a super-help to me, especially with 30kisses. I was terrified of the mutiny/revolt I staged, especially if I had friends/acquaintances from other comms (i.e. smrff) that were active in 30_kisses and would hang me for treason or something. You did no such thing, and in fact, have continued to be a wonderful help in every possible way.

Anyway, dorky as it is in this day and age, when the slightest bit of Japanese will stir accusations of "FANGIRL!" I still think of the few SMRFFers hanging around (that I know for a fact are older than me) as "onee-chans" and even if it's a bit awkward (for you?), it's nice to not be so intimidated anymore.

Your website's broken. Well, the link from your LJ is, but when I finally got there, the folders on your site are still routed to a sub folder, rather than a sub domain (which is what your site is). So you made finding a specific fic I was thinking of harder... :( Mou.

You're probably one of the few from SMRFF that
a) I maintain semi-regular contact with
b) I can really, truly call my "onee-chan" (as opposed to MK-mama, who I auto-worshiped, the EMSiTs, who I auto-feared/worshiped, and anyone else on the list older than me, who I stayed in the shadows of). You and Ely were the first to really welcome me to the SMRFF, and help me with my fanfic writing career. For that, I can't thank you enough.

It's kind of sad that the SMRFF/Sailor Moon fandom is a bit dead, but I'm definitely glad that some of us have managed to stay in contact, still chatting and being crazy every once in a while.

I'm probably one of the only ones that doesn't understand why you're so terrified of kites (but are you REALLY?), though. I mean, where did it start? Like I said to dqbunny, I have an Unreliable Brain. Maybe I was there when it happened, and my brain just farted.

What *IS* cool is that beyond SMRFF, we still have things in common. And I still look up to you, and totally wish the best for you (I totally want to find my own version of Bryan).I'd definitely say my list of online people that I trust and like (A LOT) is few-- people that I'd get offended with if someone did anything to hurt or upset them, which is why I'm not the least bit embarrassed about having SMRFFers and the like on my FL. What I like about you (and MK, and Megs) goes beyond fandom; I like YOU AS A PERSON, so I'm interested in your life, and I like to keep up with you. And, like I said, I want the absolute best for my onee-chan, the Priestess of Bishies and Proprietor of Bishsicles. :D

'schwa? What is 'schwa? Well, I know you must have commented for a reason.
Now, do you know that I didn't know your real name for... well, a very long time? Probably close to 6 months, if not longer. Seriously, everyone at FX just called you "GOD" so that was what I called you/referred to you as. And back then, I was a (computer) geek to be sure, but nowhere near your level. And actually for all that you know and do, I still seriously admire you, and wish I could download your brain's computer info into mine. That'd be cool.

I have to say, FX is probably one of the things I miss the most about being down here in LA. I tried to do the CSUN Anime Club thing for a while, but it's like being addicted to Coke and then switching to Pepsi. It's never quite the same, and one thing really doesn't substitute for the other. There is no other Jimbo, no other Vincent-onii-sama, and no other "God."

It's really only been lately that I've started referring to you (or about you to others) as "Anthony" and part of me still gets weirded out by it (I don't know why), but I can explain WHY I've been doing that-- lately you seem far more human to me than you did when I first met you, back when I fangirled everyone in FX (no, really. I had bursts of crushes on almost all the guys. That really shouldn't come as a surprise to you, though). But that's not a bad thing, because to a degree I can relate-- and it's nice to think that despite your nickname, you're still a real person with problems like the rest of us. That's the kind of person I feel I can trust and talk to, and it's nice that despite the mileage and everything, we're still friends. :)

I probably trust your computer wisdom and expertise above all others. And you're one of the few guys I know with decent knowledge of drinks! :P And it's all your fault that I like Skyy Malt so much! (Among other strange things. Part of me's still in shock that you're not as old as I thought.)

And I was thrilled when you came to my silly gathering -I know you and I would have had MORE fun if it'd been a bonfire, but alas... Spare the Air and all that jazz. I still had fun, and it looked like you did, too. I think we both needed that. And if I come back to SF before I head to Japan, you know I'm meeting up with you --and for more than tech support. I think I owe you a drink for some reason or another. :)
