Oh. My. Gods.

I am sobbing. With happiness, mind. But lots of tears. Sobbing hard. Can't breathe. This is... it's fucking unbelievable, is what it is!!!

*stares in complete awe, through tears*

You are all... you're incredible! *HUGS girlwithtulips and Annalisa VERY VERY VERY HARD* And so many stories! And... fandoms... and... well, you stole my layout but it wasn't all that original anyway and damned if I care. LOL! Oh my gods... I'm... and icons?!! Manips??? Oh bloody hell you people are incredible! I'm sobbing. Nonstop.
Yeah, okay, I know sneezefic's just a, well, hobby/obsession and it's not my life... and my point of doing it is to make myself happy more than anyone else. And(other than the rare occasions when I post something different and get quite nervous about it) I really do enjoy sharing it with everyone. But, honestly, I could never have expected such an icredible response from such wonderful, wonderful people. oh gods, I'm not making any sense. Still crying. And rambling. Point is, I'm moved. Greatly. To lots and lots and lots of tears. So happy. This was SO sweet. SO sweet. SO bloody incredible. I can't even read them right now I'm crying too much. LOL

Oh my gods. Thank you thank you thank you... it doesn't seem like enough to say it, LOL. Tonight has been SUCH a miserable night for me. Had a serious breakdown over Mr.Thesis and I've been really, really unhappy. SO this is just... SO needed today. So VERY needed.

My two very best friends from high school and I always made such a big thing about birthdays. They were the most special time of the year. But since we've been out of communication(fall), gone our separate ways to different states and all... and all my current RL friends are all fast asleep... well, I was feeling kinda lonely just now and REALLY depressed about my birthday. It's hardly the same as having the two of them back, of course, but it makes the pain a lot easier to know y'all spent SO much time and effort on me. I... gods... you people are fantastic. *wishes boyfriend were awake so I could show it off right now*

This is long... I think I'm going to repost it on journal... ack, about to sneeze... there we go. I frequently sneeze when I try to stop crying. LOL
Wow... just... wow. This is just utterly fantastic. Too sweet. Too incredible. You guys are the best! Hugs all around!!!!! *HUGE HUGS*

Oh gods... just read the intro on the site... am sobbing again. How in the world did you guys manage this? I mean, I know I'm damn oblivious, but this is unreal! LOL

Really... I'm... there are NO words. Yeah, I know, I rambled using enough of them already here, but I truly cannot express how thankful I am to each and every one of you for spending so much time and effort on this, just at a time when I really needed it. I just... thank you all SO much. I'll... I'll come up with something better than this when I finally catch my breath and finish sobbing... okay?

EDIT: FEBRUARY? You guys have been working on this since FEBRUARY??? How the heck... No, I'm not going to try and figure out how you managed to do this. LOL I'm just... utterly astounded... and I don't think I'm going to be able to read the fics until I wake up in the morning... it's 4am right now... but FEBRUARY???! You all amaze me to no end. Seriously. I feel SO lucky right now. *goes back to stare in complete awe*

SECOND EDIT: LMAO Okay, so you're all laughing at me because I didn't think anyone would bother even noticing when my birthday was. LOL SO, yeah, apparently I was very very very wrong there. Do I need to go back and redo that quiz now? LOL You all are too much. I don't think I've laughed while crying this much ever!

THIRD EDIT: Okay, this is the last edit, I promise. I'm going to couch (read:bed) in a minute. But I find it really fitting that it's 8 authors (and 8 fandoms and 8 media submissions) Even though I love the number 7, 8's a very very special number to me. Among other things, my first, middle and last names all have exactly 8 letters in them. And I love even numbers much much. *sigh* Okay, done now. Just... thank you all again!!!!

***HUGS***

LOL So the happy tears are contagious... ((((((((((tarotgal)))))))) we love you!!!

Like you, a better response later!! :o)

[girlwithtulips.livejournal.com]

Oh, and your layout... yeah *lol* I did steal that, because I thought that way it could match the other challenges, but also cos I'm so hopeless with html! *l* And we couldn't ask permission, but we figured you wouldn't mind *g*

[tarotgal]

Of course I don't mind (it was pretty much a rip-off of snowshie's sneezefic archive layout at the time anyway)

Just... note my comment about something strange going on at the bottom of the main page... I can take a screen cap of it if it's browser-specific and you're not seeing what I'm talking about...

[girlwithtulips.livejournal.com]

*g* The first time I looked at the page, I was like "What? What's wrong?" and then I realised that I'd just gotten so used to the page that I'd automatically stopped scrolling once I'd gotten to the "bottom" of the page, and never looked further...

And yup. I see what you mean! *lol* Ok, so I'm really, really bad at html. I'll go try fix it now! And, I don't know if it happens for you, but I get a load of Microsoft errors whenever I open the page online, but not when I open them offline. I don't know what's happening there. Any suggestions? :o)

[tarotgal]

Well, the geocities code isn't kicking in for the page... (online) which is probably because of the problem in the code that caused it to do that weird thing (which is probably a table-realated tag (td or tr) missing an end or a beginning.

So geocities probably can't get its code (which is usually inserted at the end of the page) to display properly...and thus, the errors. So that wouldn't happen offline, because there's no geocities offline.

Let me know if you need help debugging... crying is slowing, I could probably spot it for you if I tried...

[girlwithtulips.livejournal.com]

Ok, my dial-up is being unco-operative and slow, and I have an essay due tomorrow so I'll get onto fixing it all tomorrow (even though I feel really bad about leaving it like that!!), but thanks very much for your offers of help and I'll email you about it later! :o)

[tarotgal]

Yeah.. believe me, it's NOT that important. LOL Don't feel bad at all. I doubt anyone but me would even notice it.

When I wake up, I'll see if I can't figure it out... I've made much worse mistakes in HTML and it's usually table tags... though usually that just re-arranges not repeats... this is kind of fascinating, really. Hmm...

ANYWAY, yes, finish your essay by all means! You've done your de-lurked duty for the day indeed!!! :-)

*HUGS* Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tarotgal]

I just e-mailed you with a possibly corrected version and a note or two about the possible source of the errors you get on pageload.

But, again, no rush! Finish your work first! heehee

Yeah. I'm not one to talk, but you know what I mean :-)

[vatergrrl.livejournal.com]

And to think that for a time, there were even eight messages in this thread!

Eight hugs to you, dear tarotgal, on this your very own day. I hope you enjoy all of the fabulous presents, big small and in-between, and know that each of them was given with great love and admiration for all you do in the community. And tear into them with abandon -- alll that pretty, sparkly cyber-wrapping paper is recyclable, you know. ;)

Happy Birthday!

Joy! It was the least we could do for you hun, we love you and appreciate you so much! I can't really write, and am STILL working on a fic, haha, but oh well. Yes, since February. Girlwithtulips was the one behind the whole thing, and really approached us. I wrote an email to EVERYONE on sneezefic, except you lol, and told them about it. It was a pretty good turn out I'd say. SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We're so glad that you love it!

Aww, a VERY Happy Birthday to you, Hon. You deserve it. Really.

I'm so glad that you liked it and that it was a surprise! I came in a bit late on it all (I neglect a few of my emails very badly, poor babies ::pets emails::) Hehe, actually, the only reason I the email from Annalisa was b/c of the beta'ing. I prob. neeevverr would have checked it otherwise - weird how things tie together, but makes me extremely grateful that it did. :) Didn't want to miss out on the fun.

So, as I can't say it too much, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ::hugs::

Have a great day - that's an order. :-P

God, I feel like such a bum for not posting something earlier but this is the first time in more then 24 hours since I've had access to a computer. But yes, hope you had a good b-day and ditto a million times the good things that were said already!

[tarotgal]

Pshaw! Don't worry about it. It's the thought that counts :-) And thank you much! heehee
