I have been seeing you around & admiring you for years (since back in the LJ days!) & I am delighted that you exist & enrich my life even when I am sufficiently shy to have had you always & only on the periphery; I am grateful to you for making many of my friends so happy so often; & self-nominating & believing oneself worthy of love is such a big deal to me, & so brave & so courageous, that you absolutely get props for that too.
