Leochi picked me among her 10 lj people who make my day list. The rules are simple, if picked, make your own list of lj people who make your day (previously done lists count!) Except there is no way I can name just 10 people. You're all too amazing. So I am shamelessly cheating and have 10 groups and even then I am leaving out many people who should be here.

anthimaeria and jadzialove: I genuinely find it hard to remember that I don't see you two regularly in real life. In addition to being compassionate, funny and thoughtful, you write with wit and style, and you both have great hair.
dumbys_baby : you have a group of your own because I actually do see you regularly. You're just lovely in every way, and I hope everything goes smoothly at Easter. Write more fic, dammit.
sansa1970, bryoneybrynn, calanthe_fics and nqdonne: you all started off as just writers I liked (and the first three of you have also been huge influences), and then became friends I look forward to chatting to. I hope that all the things in your lives that are causing you stress and difficulty resolve themselves smoothly and swiftly.
house_illrepute, shiv5468 and pir8fancier: I nod so much at your posts that sometimes I feel a tiny bit stalkerish. I'd like to point out that if I were a stalker, I would be the type that comes bearing quality alcohol or handspun alpaca and knocks off at 5.30pm.
lackofmendacity, thady and romaine24: you three are kind, gentle and gracious, which are old-fashioned qualities but ones the world is in desperate need of.
leochi, djinniyah, and lillithium: as people, you all make me smile. But as artists you change the way that I look at HP and make me think about my writing in ways that I never would without you.
pushdragon  and snottygrrl , we WILL hang out in person in the next few months, dammit. I am not enduring the idiocy of this year without meeting people I know I already like.
bubblegumlocks, emerald_dragon8, and slian_martreb: it's been a while since I was a young person, but the three of you remind me of what it was like. You all have so much fortitude and ability. Even when things seem crap, I know that your futures will be shiny, because you all are.
grey_hunter, winstonmom and daisy_chan: you three take time out from your own work to regularly encourage the work of others. You are examples that I am trying to follow more closely.
frayach, furiosity and fourth_rose , you are the three whose stories and updates make me late for work. This month has been rubbish since you are all otherwise occupied (mostly -- off to finish Interregnum next!). If I ran the universe you would have large fic stipends and comfy chairs. It helps that you all seem to be the sort of people I would cheerfully hang out with.

The Three F's - and you know what's funny is that Furiosity and I actually share a birthday, although she is at least a decade younger than me, and therefore, by definition wins. Unless we're playing by the "age before beauty" rule :D

I'll take both the stipend and the comfy chair, thank you very much! *rubs sore back* Oh, and the "otherwise occupied" equals writing frantically for Worldcup, Big Bang and Beltane (not to mention about five different WIPs and/or sequels). So the drought is merely temporary, I promise ;)

*smooches*

Germaine Greer and I share a birthday ... but I think she is still ahead. I suspect that you might be, too, even if you have more crowsfeet. Because she still has so many daft cock-ups left to tick off in life!

I shall seek to advance my plans for global takeover. And look forward to Worldcup being revealed!
