A lot of people say that I'm nice, something that I try to be whenever I talk to people, even if sometimes it stretches me thin. I'm such a nervous person, worrying about every little thing that can or will happen to me and practically worrying myself into an early grave, and yet through it all my friends have been there to back me up, which makes me realize how blessed I am to have such great people in my life.

-In no particular order-

Oh, you derping harpy you. Seriously, I didn’t really know what to think about you when I first met you about a year ago, but I haven’t regret ever meeting you. You’ve been a great friend for so long, dealing with my insanity as I dealt with your pure craziness in turn. We’ve been buddies through the good and bad, and I wouldn’t think of anyone else to just laugh at pure stupidity together.

As I’ve said before and again, I apologize for being such a yutz so many times on TF2 and in general. Even for our age difference, I consider you as one of the many people that keeps me in check, being cool-headed and listening whenever I needed to talk. You’re a great friend, an awesome engie buddy, and I appreciate all the times you’ve hosted our calls whenever my internet lagged out.

You’ve been like a long distance brother to me man, helping me out whenever I need advice on art and vice versa many times. We’ve bounced off more ideas than I can count and have plenty of interesting adventures via IM, creating so many shenanigans and ideas for art. I’ve definitely lucky to call you my friend.

My friend since I first came on dA, my companion through the multiple adventures of creating our first story, my comrade in arm when dealing with the trials of life. You’ve been by me through thick and thin, helping me find my niche in this crazy internet world and giving me a good friend that I can talk to about practically everything under the sun. I’ll always consider you one of my very close friends man, thanks for everything.

Ahh Shea, Mali’s partner in crime any my fellow New Englander, man have we had some crazy stuff. I never was sure what your first impressions were of me, but I’m very glad that we became very close buddies. And it was a blast hanging out with you and Zyggy at Anime Boston, and I look forward to more fun in the future, and whenever we have another Skype call with the others.

We may have only met a few months ago, but you’ve definitely been a very close buddy of mine. Sharing ideas for stories, trying to improve ourselves as writers with critiquing ourselves and helping each other, and being as hyped as I am about video games definitely helped us get to be friends. I look forward to more collaborations in the future that I know will further our friendship.

When we first met, I really didn’t know how exactly our friendship would go, but I haven’t regretted a single moment. You’ve helped me out in rough times, I’ve been the shoulder for you to lean on, we’ve nerded out over video games together, and we’ve just in general been great friends when it comes to art, life, and everything in between, something that I’ll always be happy about when talking to you.

Bostonian voice actors unite! Man, it really is hard to believe that there’s so many people that I talk to online that live close to me, you included. You and I have had some crazy experiences in the short time we’ve known each other, and yet you’re one of my close buddies that I never regret meeting. All the hectic and loony moments of Anime Boston, Skype calls that went on into the night, and TF2 matches where we’ve just caused general chaos. You’re an awesome guy Zyg, and you deserve a medal for having to deal with a bunch of crazy people including myself which would normally drive someone insane.

First of all, get some sleep and stop staying up till late o’clock woman! >8U Second of all, you’ve been such a patient woman with me that I cannot thank you enough for putting up with my melodramatic moments. Watching you draw awesome art, albeit sometimes creepy, has been an enjoyable and learning experience, and I truly do appreciate the time and effort you put in helping me design some of my characters. I wish you the best of luck with your studies at your university, and remember that you’ve got a buddy here who’s willing to lend an ear or a hug if needed.

I still cannot thank you enough for getting me into voice acting, and I can't apologize enough for you having to deal with me when I was being very idiotic at many a moment. You’ve been a great buddy from the north, someone who’s helped me get to know more about what I can do, helped me do so many dungeon grinds in Mab, and just in general be a kind and caring person who I know will be there when I need a friend, and of course I’ll always be there to help you too.

First of all, I cannot express how much of a joy it has been working with you over this period of time that we’ve known each other. I never knew that a lowly little artist like myself would become such great friends with a legend in our community. It’s been such a great time talking to you, learning more about who I am and how I view the world, creating such a gripping and heartwarming world of fantasy, and generally just having someone I can relate to on many subjects. You’ve been my mentor, my spellchecker, my role model, and my friend, things that I’ll treasure for a long time.

Man, there’s so many things to say, like how nervous I was when we first met, oh man I was. Yet as we began to talk more, on and offline, we got to know each other even more, becoming close and getting to experience some great laughs, comfort each other in our times of need, and just be great and kooky friends. The day that we finally met at Anime Boston is something that I’ll have etched in memory for a long time, and no matter where we are or what we’re doing, you’ll always be close to me.

It really is hard to believe we’ve known each other for so long, it still feels like just yesterday that we first met. In the time that we’ve talked together, you’ve helped me evolve so much, not as an artist, but as an FA, a gamer, a writer, and most importantly, as a person. We’ve weaved rp tales that have lasted us for years, creating such memorable times and even helping us to create some of our many characters. You’ve stood by my side through so much, and I’ve been there to lend you a hand whenever you’re searching through the dark. I truly am blessed to have such a close and kind friend by my side.

Ok, Mali, stop saying that you’re not adorable, because you are 8U(even if your icon is creepy). In the 4 years that I’ve known you, you’ve been one of my best and closest friends, something that I don’t take for granted. We’ve been through hell together, trying our best to keep each other afloat, laughing our heads off at some of the stupidest things imaginable, creating great art together, blowing sh*t up online in tandem, dealing with so many nights where Katari’s just left us asking ‘what the balls’, and so much more. You have been my internet daughter, a great artist who I’ve admired for such a long time, someone who I can seek console from, and a close and dear friend who I promise will be with for years to come. Thanks for giving this timid little random guy a chance to become such a close friend Mali, and for helping me become a beter person, I <3 u.

Augh, there's so many other people that I want to put on the list, but it'd take forever to post them all. For those of you who aren't on here, don't feel discouraged, because you all have a special place in my heart, you're all awesome to me!
