Hello hello hello, all!

I know I've been inactive recently and I owe you all updates, but I just wanted to post to tell you all (whether you care or not haha) that it's my first anniversary on AFF! Yay!

I don't even remember what motivated me to create an account, but it certainly doesn't feel like it's been a whole year since then. I mean, in that time, I've written quite a bit, and though I still have so much to learn and work on, I honestly think that I have improved as an author and found a style of my own. And of course, I've met so many lovely people, some of whom are now dear friends that I want to keep for as long as I can.

I want to say thank you to all those people, and to my readers, who have been (mostly!) patient with my lazy- ways and slow updates. Thanks for sticking around— I love you!

{From here is my long-winded fart of dedications:

Special thanks to Shania, who is lovely enough to make an effort to stay in contact with me despite both our busy schedules;

 Jullien, who probably inspires me more than anyone else in my life (cheesy much???);

Angel, my sheck-xual boo (love you, loser);

Shida, who I haven't known for long, but is so lovely to me and is such a talented and beautiful person;

Alex (KachoFuugetsu), my Aussie peep who makes my insides all fuzzy with her fluff and comedic fics;

Candy/Laura, another inspiration, extremely talented person, and now, a good friend;

The Byuntaehood (Brenda, Carissa, Jira, Alyssa, Lien, Nelle, Czari and Mel), the best online gang of Asian girls in their pajamas, riding their Harveys into the sunset ;)

Also, Bern, Yuri, Sumin, Naomi, Cindy, Emira, heartlikeabird, hopelesswriter, AhnCheonsa, all the beautiful Fawns, thank you so much <3 (If I missed anyone, feel free to throw poop-flavoured jellybeans at me).  

And of course- last, but definitely not least, Izzle; I know we don't talk as much as we used to, but I honestly don't feel any more distant to you, and I LOVE YOU FOREVER, THE MONSTERS WON'T GET YOU

Oh oh oh, and no dedication is complete without mention of my dear choding, and CJBC; I love you guys so much}

I wanted to celebrate by doing something special today apart from updating Tangerine Express, but I can't bake a cake (unless y'all want to call the fire station for me) and it's a bit late for a celebratory oneshot, so idk, just pretend it's raining party hats and draw unicorns on our hands (I drew one on mine haha; unicorns are my go-to animal for festivities). If you know the Macarena, dance it! I'll dance with you in spirit ;)

ALSO: if we haven't spoken yet, please don't hesitate to drop me a wall post or PM, or if you don't mind weird (and often erse) sentiments, tweet me (@mrsimplebuffalo)! I want to speak to you all c:

Okay, I think I've talked enough xD Thanks again for an awesome year! Have a fun day, everyone, I love you ~
