Something Sensational (original) (raw)

When I first left a review for a story called "The Potter Boy" by angelgurl121 on fanfiction.net in January of 2004, asking the author to read my own story, "Incompatible", I had no idea how much that decision would come to influence my life. It led to my gaining a beta, a Savi, a dera...and most of all, a best friend.

Savi, m'dera, I can hardly believe our relationship. It's been almost three years–three years! Can you believe it?–since those first reviews and e-mails...*grins* I still remember the excitement I felt whenever I got one of those hugely long e-mails from you (didn't we end up crossing 40,000 words per e-mail at one point?), and how silly we were, the Runi-Savi files and the Savi-Runi dictionaries, and how much I'd worry about either you or me or both of us getting into trouble with our parents for making an online friend. And yet, we've somehow managed to maintain this relationship, through highs and lows, through periods of no e-mails or contact and periods of almost incessant chattering, and here we are, a little older, a little more mature–but still the same Runi and Savi on the inside (though Runi's been renamed "Nimmie", which I love so much more), and still going just as strong, if not stronger, than we were in 2004. It's true; we have been a part of each other's lives for almost our whole high school careers...since second semester freshman year, as you said. I can hardly get over it...and yet, it seems almost natural, for sometimes I'm sure you know me better than I ever knew myself.

I never saw myself getting an online friend, much less befriending a girl who lived in Canada who'd become my best friend. And no matter how many times I may feel guilty about lying to my parents, I don't regret the relationship one bit. It's helped me grow, helped me mature, helped me learn more about myself. Yes, Savi, you've done all that–and more. I can't even begin to describe our relationship; all I know is that it's wonderful and I love it and I evol you.

Sensationality...I think it's the affirmation of that relationship, really. *smiles* It's only a year old, compared to our relationship of almost three years, but...it keeps us connected, reminds us that yes, there always is someone there for us, even when the world seems completely against us. *smiles* I can't wait until I get a laptop and have wireless internet–because then this will indeed be "something sensational to read on the train." I honestly don't see an end to this relationship–every time I've thought it's over, we've talked or written in here and I realize that I'd feel somewhat lost without my Savi, without my Evol, my *huggles* and my *kishes* and my dera.

And I could never forget the day that Sensationality was born, about how we spazzed and tried to find a name and chose interests and squeed and laughed and everything else; it's a truly defining moment of our relationship, I believe.

And this is only the beginning. Who knows where we'll go from here?

To sensationality: a very happy birthday, and many more!

To the world: *smiles* Behold and believe what you see; behold how my dera evols me. (And how I evol her, too.)

And to Savi, my rock, my evol, my dera: *huggles* *kishes* Evol, dera! I don't know what I'd do without you.
