2007 was the year I joined the LitNet

[andave_ya]

As it seems a tradition to party when one has been a LitNetter for a whole year, I have decided to jump in.

The Literature Network is really awesome, everyone. I can truly say that I'm a better person because of this place. I've actually learned open-mindedness here thanks to the diversity of cultured, intellectual people. It is such a pleasure to *know* such briliant people.
Most importantly, I've made a lot of friends, not just acquaintances.
Mtpspur is a much-treasured friend that has a special place in my heart, and Countess, well, as Rich says, she is a woman of fire and power. Reading her blog entries and poetry this past year, I agree whole-heartedly. Though quite a bit goes over my head.

Mkhockenberry, Meg, is such a neat person, too. I love reading her story, and I love reading her blogs and getting her kind pm's.

Neo_Sephiroth is the first person I met on the LitNet. We still keep in touch, so if anyone wants to send him a line let me know. He sends his greetings, everyone, and wants to know if there is any particular reason why Kiz and Niamh use "Word!" in some of their comments? :D

Downing, Kit, and Silent X are three people I've not talked with in a while, but they are such fun! Kiz and Pen are sweet and kind, and Virgil is a man in a million.

Oh, Idril!! The awesome lady who knows all the Tolkien. Much, much wisdom from her, believe me!

Lady Wentworth, my newest LitNet friend, and I talk endlessly over old movies and music. It's nice to meet a person who thinks the same way I do about old stuff.

If I've forgotten anyone, forgive me. You are all amazing people.

EDIT: Yes, I did forget some people. Lily Adams, for one, who is loads of fun and deliciously geeky and a treat to know.

Shurtugal, who might be a klutz but is a kind and caring person that I'm glad to know in read life.

And finally, my sister, BulletproofDork. I'm glad she's my sister, even if she does know how to push all my buttons!

But however, serious stuff aside, I brought some friends:

Then this man decided to crash the party. :rolleyes:

So, they decided to have a dance-off in your honor. :)

Hope that you have as much fun in your second year as you did in your first! :D

[Niamh]

*tuts before slowly approaching Baki and slaping the underage stamp on her hand*
None of that!

[Weisinheimer]

Since drinks are taken care of, (alcoholic and otherwise;) ) I decided to bring some snacks.

[andave_ya]

Galadriel (holding glass of Jack Daniels): Valar, what is this stuff?

Boromir (holding his own cup of Smirnoff): Err, Lady, you may want to go easy with that, it's rather more suited to Gimli than you...

Aragorn (and Andave): PIPEWEED!
Err, I don't suppose I can sneak some under your ready eye, Niamh? Just a pinch? :lol:

...................................

Dean Martin: Hey, thish shtuff's pretty good!...

Fred: I think you're a bit sozzled, Gene. Eh, Dean.

Gene (busy with the chips and salsa): Did somebody say my name?

Andave, plate of goodies at hand, is too busy staring.

[papayahed]

I'll bring my favorite chips ever:

And since Shal has taken care of the cocktails I'll bring shakes for the kiddies:

[BulletproofDork]

And finally, my sister, BulletproofDork. I'm glad she's my sister, even if she does know how to push all my buttons!

Hmm, why am I mentioned last? :p And, I'm not bringing anything except myself. Ain't that enough? I might add to Weisinheimer's snacks, though. Not enough chocolate. ;)

oops! I forgot! I thought she was in college and you know what college kids like to do! But, since we don't want to contribute to the delinquency of a minor :angel:, better put the alcohol in the back room with a bouncer who checks IDs.

:thumbs_up :lol:

[Lily Adams]

Ha ha, oh, you mentioned me. Thank you. Gosh...:blush:

LitNet is a happenin' place to be. It's where all the wacky kids go. :thumbs_up

LitNet is really wacky! :p

But really, people, I know how andya feels. You guys are my social life-my friends. Where I can go and people don't give me weird looks because I actually read books for fun. Thanks. *big hug for LitNet*

I'm a better person, too, I think because of LitNet. I'm not nearly as anti-social as I used to be and I'm more confident and I do know more things.

[Niamh]

Aragorn (and Andave): PIPEWEED!
Err, I don't suppose I can sneak some under your ready eye, Niamh? Just a pinch? :lol:

Nada hope!:p *whips out underager stamp and plonks it on Adyas hand* cant have you going home stoned and drunk! What would your mother think of the crowd of friends you are hanging out with! Can have her think we are a bad influence!

:p , oh well, it was a nice enough try :p sorry ma'am, I'll just bring, the most beloved veggie (?), so loved by the irish that it's all we've been eaten for weeks. In all their forms................POTATOES!

Once its potatoes Baki and not Poteen! :goof:

[Niamh]

We dont??? but its sooo much fun ***sneaks alkyhol to the underagers***

[Pensive]

Ohoo I got late for the party, anyway congratulations for your first lit-net birthday! :)

[mtpspur]

Andave so sorry I missed this thread and your anniversary. You also have a very special place in the heart and prayers of this stiff necked Pharisee.:p You add so much spirit and joy in your postings - to steal a line and paraphrase from Jack Nicolson (As Good as It Gets) "You make me want to be a better Christian." Can't wait to see what the future holds for you and your family.
