Current music: | i know only you would appreciate my justifed text obsession |
Today marks a very special and hugely awesome birthday of one of my favorite people on planet earth, and while she deserves the whole world, here is just a sliver of the massive amount of thanks I have for my other half, brette (+ 323409 usernames from all our characters and lines)
I just had to take a few minutes to say 1) happy birthday you wonderful crazy bitch and 2) youareamazing.
Okay, so you probably saw this coming because I am 100% awful at secrets and have been trying as hard as I can not to drop hints, but let me tell you, I CANNOT DO THAT. If this is a surprise to you, allow me to go high five a million angels.
I remember the first time I saw brette's journal, I knew that I wanted a line with you. Something about the past that you had developed for her, your insane attention to detail, your approachability, and of course, playing one of a handful of characters that were within a couple years age range with my own. Soren had found himself in quite a sticky situation when they first met, as I had originally pictured him as being some kind of bachelor but he took on a life of his own and it turned out to be so far from who he was. I was already picturing what they might be like together after they first talked, with their massive threads divulging every part of their past with honest and sincere interest and enthusiasm. I loved them. It was so funny that we immediately went out of character and fostered this amazing bond, with all these bizarre similarities, like our music tastes from way back when to our little writing quirks to our mutual television favorites, to even the tiniest details of having former characters with so many of the same names. There is no doubt in my mind that we were absolutely supposed to meet and to be honest, you are SO much more than amazing.
I've never before had a writer that I just... stuck with. We have so many overlapping lines of varying complexities and I have loved every single one. I know we haven't had much of a chance to dive into Holly and Eric, but I don't worry much because I know we'll eventually make our rounds there. Our writing styles are compatible in a way that I never thought possible, with our neverending 1000+ character thread replies that seem to take the best writing that I'm capable of and bring it right out. You've stuck with me, even when I burnt myself out and had to take a month of time for myself, you never stopped texting me or letting me know that I was on your mind and I am SO grateful. We were a great team when we tried making our own comm, too and I can't tell you how awesome it is to just be given the coding jobs while you do all the stuff I hate SERIOUSLY ITS SO GREAT. We have the same sense of humor, and the same feelings on virtually everything, and it's like looking in a mirror most of the time.
I can't wait for S + B's new baby to join them, and writing out the pregnancy, or even what we have so far, has been so incredibly satisfying. Soren has become a part of me that I don't even need to tap into, he just flows out during scenes and he has become so concrete and genuinely defined because of how long we've had these two. Hard to believe it's been six months already, but I know that it'll be much longer. It seemed like they (and we!) were just dying to meet, especially with Brette's ex-husband drama and Soren's momentary loss of faith in love after his ex girlfriend ditched him. They are end game and I love this line in ways that I have never loved another.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. We have told each other basically EVERYTHING about our lives in and out of character, and I feel like you could be my sister at this point. I hope you have the most fantastic birthday party (and don't have to deal with tony the shithead) and I can't wait to get the text the next morning about how epic it was. YOU KNOW I'M THERE IN SPIRIT OK.
LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH <3
