In a couple of hours, I'll be getting on a bus to go to Cardiff and meet lf2871.

I met lf2871 first when she commented on one of my journal entries about Life on Mars a little more than half a year ago. I didn't know her, and it stayed like that for quite a while, because she's kind of a shy person. (She'll probably hate me for writing this entry.) However, at some point we ended up adding each other on MSN, and by now we more or less talk daily. She's a lovely person; smart, creative and kind, and she's just one more reason fandom is worth every moment of anger and heartbreak it's brought me.

She's not the only one; there are so many more. wihluta ♥, of course, and I could go on, but if I were to start a list, I'd never be able to stop, because I wouldn't want to leave out any one of you. So what I'm going to do instead is this: I'm going to link you to the Fandom Appreciation Meme that cryptictac is hosting on her journal: Put your name down here and link your friends to your thread, so they can tell you how you've made an impact in their lives.

Please do put your name down. I want to tell you what I love about you. :)

And here's my thread:
