he always had some mighty fine wine

A toast!! To More Joy day, brought to us by the combined inspiration, heart, and soul of mostlikely2 and sdwolfpup, and I'm already feeling all ooky inside.

Here's John Prine, "That's The Way The World Goes Round." I wanted to put up Patty Larkin's "Might As Well Dance" (my go-to More Joy song), but I apparently don't have it on this computer. If you do, toss it in the comments, yeah?

Friends, slashers, acafans, writers, readers, artists, WGA supporters, Democrats, Republicans, people who live here on the internet with me, I love you, really, THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS MUCH. More, probably!

Extra hugs to txvoodoo, who is amazing and generous and kind, and to thassalia who might be the best friend anyone could ever have, and to samdonne and projectjulie for sharing my house and my cats, and to runpunkrun for sharing my crazy brains and midnight history, and to nerdcakes and twentyfivepast, my teeny set of Mini-Mes, and to everyone else who did heavy lifting for fannish infrastructure, the mods of the Remix and Yuletide, the board of the OTW, the fannish lawyers and journalists and panelists and lecturers, to somedaybitch, the ultimate mobilizer, and wga_supporters, and and and.

And to lurkers and new people and people who don't show up on love memes or snap cups, people who don't usually get virtual gifts or paid time, people who have never had an LJ community set up to celebrate their birthday or the death of their laptop, people who leave feedback that doesn't get responded to -- YOU, our bread and butter, our unsung heroes, please be to having LOTS AND LOTS OF JOY. If you're in this category and you're reading this, speak up! I'll give you special bonus hugs.

I LOVES THE INTERNETS YAY.

You're telling me that I didn't manage to get "Might As Well Dance" somewhere on that DVD compliation I sent you? How could I have failed that badly?

I think this is the first I'd heard of this, and it is such an amazing idea.

oh my god, I feel like you've looked into my darkest tiniest heart and found me! I can't believe no one has ever created a live journal community in my honour. It's a rough life and hard on a girl's soul ;)

You know, I'm trying not to be so whorish this year, but for some reason I am in a rotten mood and a hug of some virtual sort would be rad.

Adores you!

And to lurkers

Heh. I think I may qualify as a lurker. I'm not "new" but I don't often comment (bad fangirl). I do however, have a memory of dancing at a gig at the Burbank convention a few years ago, and I THINK you were sort of behind myself and my friend. Do you/did you wear glasses? I think you were pointed out to me, or I deduced who you were over the weekend. Myself and my friend were hanging out some of the time with Dani(the Brit Boy from Farscape World) and I have a feeling he threw a bread roll at your table, over the back of the seats at dinner. Or maybe this is a product of an over-heated and possibly half-cut and jet-lagged imagination.

At any rate - woohoo for Joy!
