Soooo, guess it's my turn with this now. I don't care if it's late, it goes to show how usually behind the fads on these things I am. XD

BUT ANYWHOO. I can honestly say that I'm not a perfect person, not in the least. I have many flaws about me, I have my moments of freaking out and nearly going over the edge, and I've made mistakes I came to regret. But today, I feel that I want to spread some of my love for you guys, because honestly, there's not an assigned day that niceness can be spread - because in my mind, people are always entitled to be told nice things or given a compliment, no matter when or where.

So in no particular order, here we go:

- Luna, you were my very first internet friend and possibly the greatest source of inspiration to me. It was you that brought me into the wonderous world of the internet and urged me to come posting on forums to show off my art (as horrible as I thought it was back then). I still look back on those days I used to e-mail you every Saturday morning and I still enjoy your company today. <3 Chin up Luna and KEEP DRAWERINGS!

- Keshi.. Razumi.. Matt.. whatever name you may go by now, there's a lot that I can say about you. We've loved, we've lost, we've gone through both good times and bad, had our fair share of fights and drama, and both suffered emotional pain. We've went our separate ways long ago, but yet you still are like my little stone of reassurance. You still take the time to check my gallery every so often, and even leave comments to show your support. Though things will probably never totally revert back to what they originally were before what happened between us, I have you to thank for making me the way I am today. I wish you luck on your further endeavors and relationships, and thank you for all the memories you've given me, both good and bad.

- You're quite the enigma, Jess. You can be very hard to read and I never quite know what you're thinking at any given time, but one's thing's for sure - you have an unwavering amount of wisdom about you. You don't tolerate anyone's bullshit and you always have something to offer whenever I talk with you. It's a shame we don't talk much these days, but when we do, I always get a kick out of doing so. You've listened to my countless ramblings and lulzy stories, and shared a laugh and shared some rage with me all the same, and we share the same viewpoints about many things. You've always showed support with my characters and stories, and I love how intricately you can weave out your characters and their stories, which is a feature about you I've come to envy. FFFF JESS TAKE ME NAAAAO

- One of my oldest friends whom I've just gotten a connection once again to in this past year. You've improved by MILES, both as a person, a writer and an artist, and that makes me insanely proud of you. <3 It was great coming into contact with you again, and the fact we've once again started coming up with ideas together for stories and the like makes me all warm and happy inside. Keep updating that gallery, because you know I'm always curious to see what ideas you come up with for the brilliant writer you are.

- I've known you just as long as Shaz, and you haven't changed a bit from the zany, bookish girl you always were. You're a very odd girl, but you hold your friends in high regard and you're always brimming with new ideas and ideas for stories. If it wasn't for you, Hayden and his stories wouldn't've ever come to fruition, and I have you to thank for urging me to develop them in the first place.

- Aaaah, Miss Kilo. I have YOU to solely blame for first piquing my interest in the OCT circuit in general. It was because of you that not only was I pulled out of a terrible depressive rut I was suffering from in the past year, but also opened up a great new door of opportunity to me so finally show off my stories and actually have people gain curiosity with what I was able to produce. Not only that, you've helped me regain a connection to one of my earliest internet friends via this stuff. You're a very sweet girl, and I believe you're capable of great things. And just know I'll be one of those people backing you up as well. <3

- Oh, Ren. You're indeed a special girl. Given we've went through MANY ups and downs in our friendship and we never always saw eye to eye, but in the end, you're still one of the most unique people I've ever met. You were one of my first friends in the OCT circuit, and the fact you showed such admiration for my characters flattered me to no end. I hope you see your future projects to the end - because I know you're capable of producing something stellar with the character concepts that you develop. Also... DADDEH DADDEH AH WANT MAH GWAHAM GWACKA NAAAAAAO _{...and I SWEAR we will battle off in an OCT someday, or collab on an SE. >I}

- OOOOOOOLEH. MAH RUSSIAN LOVER. You're adorable as a button and talented as HELL. You have a certain quirkiness about you that I really enjoy and I feel like I can talk about even the most mundane of life things with you. Your sweetness also knows no bounds - the fact you care so deeply and are curious to know what goes on with everyone is always a plus in my book. Also you should find your microphone again - I miss voicechatting with you and your cute voice.

- Wallaaaa, we never talk anymooooore. D: But even though we barely talk these days, I still consider you a good friend. You were always so shy, but so sweet and caring about other people. Your art has improved by loads and I hope we can talk again, because I totally owe you some adventurings.

- Like Walla, I've not spoken to you in ages. Though at times I still think of you and the fun times we've had while you and her both ran Rogue Skies. We should talk again sometime~

- Ooooh, Nerreh Nerreh Nerreh. You have this strange addictive flair to you, and I was able to see it back when I was first in the Colosseum chats. I don't know WHAT it is, yet it always intrigues me. Not only that, you know just what to say every time, and won't be afraid to tell it like it is. I'm thankful for the times you've given me advice whenever we spoke, and I remember you were the first person in the OCT circuit to ask me for an art trade, which still makes me feel special to this day. Not to mention you have a very bizarre sense of humor which always catches me off guard. XD

- You were one of the first people I've spoken to by voice, and instantly I felt I had a connection with you. You show a great enthusiasm about what you do, be it voice-acting, character development or anything OCT related, and you're constantly brimming with ideas. Just watch the ego a bit and I think you'll do just fine with whatever you choose to pursue.

- Kaaay, you're such an awesome girl. You're amazingly talented and you hold such great wisdom for your age. You have a very unique insight on the world and I feel like I constantly learn new things from you everyday. Sometimes you can let your emotions get the better of you, but you're a very strong person and I know you can find a solution out of any problem life throws at you. Keep your chin up, and know that I'll support you whenever you need it. AND PS, you will make a fine Nanny for the Adventure Babies someday, mah sexaricious.

- We usually don't talk much, but I have you solely to blame for getting me to meet most of the people I did. <3 Though when I did talk with you, you're full of sugar and hyperactivity that's just so adorable I want to pinch your cheeks.

- Yes... OH yes... You came as an absolute surprise to me. When I first met you in the Colosseum chats when I was an OCT n00b, I was intimidated to be in the presence of someone so amazingly talented when it came to the tournies.. and lo and behold, you turned out to be one of the nicest and funniest people I've ever met. You're wacky and a total sweetheart and I feel fortunate that I got to become friends with you, let alone meet you face to face. I really miss talking and drawing with you, and I wish you the best in your relationship - I get the feeling you'll make Tito a VERY happy girl.

- Izuuuu, there's so much about you I could gush out. when I first met you, I was totally taken by surprise of how sophisticated and motherly you came off, and that still holds true today. (_{I actually thought you were older than me, lawls. I was SHOCKED to find you were 5 years younger than me.. >3>} ) You're a strange one, but at the same time, your intelligence and compassion for others is a very admirable trait. Even though your mood can change in the drop of a hat, I still find you hilarious and charming, even if you come off as very quiet and reserved. I miss drawing on MSN with you.. we should totally do it again more often. _{...and Nanny Meo will find warmer places for you other than Baby Cailen's diaper..}

- We don't talk very much aside from in Skype chats, and you have a very strange sense of wit that catches me by surprise. Your art's also been improving, and I like how you utilize every piece of advice to get better, because it's definitely showing.

- Aaah, Mel. I love you bunches. Although at times I tend to get shy around you and wonder if you DO actually like my company, but I admire for how strong you can be and how compassionate you can be to others. Even though you can come off as really derpy, I find that to be really cute about you and makes me want to hug you all the damn time. XD Cailen is indeed a lucky guy to have someone like you.

- You have to be one of the bravest people I've ever met. You aren't afraid to speak your mind and be blunt with people when the situation calls for it. Though you can come off a bit intimidating, I know you only want to see the best for people, which I've come to admire about you. You have an AMAZING art talent (seriously, how you can draw so flawlessly with ballpoint pen is BEYOND me) and a great sense of humor, which makes me come back for more. It was great seeing you up in Canada and I thank you again for letting me use your belly as a pillow.

- CHREEEEES, I've known you for some years, yet still can't believe we only started talking more within the past year. You're one crazy dude, and you hold a lot of rage, but at times it makes me laugh and you know just how to put someone in their place. You and Steph make such a cute pair and I wish you guys the best in you relationship. And I don't care what anyone says, Serge and Strange totally became the Tenacious D of EfN.

- Harpy, you're one crazy girl, but that's what's so fun about you. <3 I feel like I could talk to you for bloody HOURS and yet we'd still have more things to laugh and go off on, especially when it comes to TV shows and cooking. When it comes to art, you're one of the people I've absolutely come to envy - your women and your style are fantastic and I still treasured the giftarts you've given me. I should make myself not so shy when it comes to you on MSN, because I'd love to get to draw with you more.

- OOOOOH, mein Kaiser. There's so much I can say about you; you're insane fun, you've got a very interesting view on the world and not to mention you're very open about yourself, which is something I absolutely admire about you. You let your voice be heard and you know exactly how to word things whenever someone's feeling down. I wish I could repay you for all the times you've listened to me bitch and moan about things and you didn't hesitate in being honest with me, so I just hope my love and silliness are enough for now until I can be able to give you a hug in person. Then maybe we can FLY AWAY IN A DELICIOUS RAINBOW

- Though I've only started speaking to you recently, I feel a particular bond with you. Like Neri, you have an absolutely addicting personality; you're very easy to talk to (and honestly, I'm surprised you don't want to drive a pike through my head with how often I poke at you on MSN. |D) and you're insane fun to draw with. I enjoy our talks and you come up with some very intriguing characters and ideas; I can't wait to see what you produce when you go into your next OCT or story. I think the only regret I have is you can come off as very distant and quiet, but I think you're slowly beginning to come out of that. Anytime you want some free diabeetus, you know where to look.

- Oh Erin, you're an absolute doll. I'm very grateful of how you were willing to put up with my American-ness when I was up in Toronto, and for that I thank you. <3 You're a very sweet girl full of energy and passion, and we should talk more often since you make for some great company.

- Ah, Meester Bean. We don't talk very much, but you're a pretty kickass dude. Your art is amazing and you're an ace storyteller. I totally want to see more of your characters someday. Also, the fact that you've managed to keep an insane amount of interest going in me in a tournament I was long knocked out in takes TALENT, and therefore, you've garnerned a huge amount of respect in me for just that feat alone. Perhaps we can do an art trade or a collab some day, yes?

- Quarter mah BOY, I cannot fathom how awesome of a fellow you are. If it was one thing that I got out of Ebon Spire in my first round, it was the chance to get to know you and gain a great friend in the process. You're humble, you're witty, you've got some insane writing talent, and to top it off, you're cute as hell. I could talk with you for freaking hours about the most random things and I still have fun with you no matter what. I would LOVE to do a collab with you on an OCT someday, and when it happens, we totally must rock faces off.

- You are one INSANE fucker. XD But I can always count on you to give me a hello whenever I'm on. I always enjoy seeing your sketches and WIPs, because I adore your style and you're always really witty. It's a shame I never got to battle you on Spire, because I totally dig your stuff and your sense of humor. We talk about the most random shit, but a conversation with you is always entertaining, no matter how strange it gets. And after Spire, do promise me that you plan to keep using Ewan or make a series with him, because he's grown on me something FIERCE.

Don't worry if I forgot any of you, because I still love you guys absolute bunches. <3 There's only so much I can pour out after it took me like, a week to formulate these.

And for you guys, I thank you all for being my friends and putting up with me and my general antics.
