Dearest fellow Scoobies, Watchers, Spuffies, Bangels, Brileies (we do drop the y? Yes?), Twillows, Wozes, Potentials, demons, half-breeds, kitten gamblers, loan sharks, gentlefolk, humans, students, operatives, Twinlets, minions, cheerleaders, evil masterminds, Big Bads *deep inhale* and Joss (Who is most certainly staking this site). I am लेखन this with not the foggiest idea of what I wish to say but I feel this uncertain idea must be expressed, so allow me to borrow your screen अंतरिक्ष for a few moments.
It's now the दिन before the दिन before क्रिस्मस for me, about half an घंटा until 'Christmas Story' begins to play nonstop and as we get closer to the changing of the साल and the gathering of the relatives I find that my mind doesn't go to my cousin Megan या my aunt Linda when I think of the people I don't see often but count as family. I have sort of crossed that invisible barrier and most likely some lines (somewhere) because when I think of the people whom I feel most comfortable being myself around it actually is composed of you. Yes, I'm talking to आप (I rewrite this with every माउस click!).
As a whole फैन्पॉप is a place where I feel comfortable just being and allowing my rant to roam free, but here, in our Buffy spot (or club as it is now known I believe), I feel that we have a sort of family. We have the wise Cinders and the almighty Debs. The outspoken Nika and the sweet Sam. Ariel is always there with a kind word and fanfly always has a point of view. Joker's there to वाद-विवाद with us and Angie keeps us full of contenty goodness. Jillywinkles, Kelly, and Natalie are always there to give us their POV. Spike_girl has been all about the picks the last few weeks and movy_girl keeps me on my toes in 20 सवालों and those are just a few members of our family. (I would continue to सूची everyone but I would eventually run out of virtual paper). We are always growing and to शामिल होइए all आप have to do is post alittle टिप्पणी दे and आप are welcome in with open arms.
आप all know me as a...well, I'm not sure who, but in real life I am और Tara than most would think and I want to take this time , right now, and thank all of आप for just being you. फैन्पॉप is our Sunnydale and here we are, in our पुस्तकालय या Magic Box (pick your season) eating our sugary goodness, गाना our chorus and arming ourselves with hummus because what else works as a better weapon? - and sharing our passion with those who understand us.
Joss is alway a believer in the idea of a made family, from the Scoobies and AI to the crew of Serenity - family isn't about who आप are related to या who आप can plot on a पेड़ but it's composed of those who understand आप and accept आप with all of your flaws and crazy ways of thinking. I don't expect to be counted among many of आप as a 'family' member but I want आप all to know that while we वाद-विवाद the merits of ships, the emotionality of a scene या even which Buffy dress is best, आप are all included in the extended version of mine.
घर is where the दिल is and nothing is as passionate as the heart. My दिल dwells in my passions for story and narrative, for emotionally and the joyous pain that life is - it dwells in a crypt या a dorm room with a चॉकलेट poster on the दीवार where Nerf Herder plays while we eat the flowering onions. I'm glad to share my passion - my heart- with आप all and look foward to feeling it warmed with your own (if we take that literally it's kinda gross, no?).
In short, I wish आप all the happiest of Holidays, the brightest of New Years and I look foward to another साल of bugging आप all with rants and observations, theories and inside jokes.
P.S. Santa has the plans for the Spikebots so if you've all been very good little Slayers I'm sure he is on his way. I'm sure the Buffybot is also available...for checkers.....
