Cherished by Christina:

This year I decided to post a SW topic. I’m not sure why since by the end of this I know I’ll be in tears rocking back and forth on my chair, but I need to get all my feelz out.

This year’s experience was really amazing. We had Jill as a speaker. Jeff came back. Mr. S. and Mrs. S(need I say more?). Everyone was applauded for drinking out of their cup. Meeting people who I’ve been dying to meet for years. OYANer hugs(which are the best). JJ glomps(Which I volunteered for xD). Awesome stories and ideas. Late night chats about anything and everything (including awkward things xD). People introducing me to fandoms and then tell me spoilers(not that I’ll name those people *coughcough* SophiaCollinandothers *coughcough*). The unofficial OYAN sport of ninja. Qudditch. Many, many fandoms and crossovers. Sock monkeys. Costumes. And critique groups. Oh my! But we’re not in Kansas anymore. (Lame joke, I know. I’m still catching up on sleep. xP)

So, uh, the SW was awesome and we’re all Ordinary Heroes. *insert all the philosophical things and stuffz I’m not good at saying*.

And I can’t think of anything else to say so I’ll just tell all y’all individually. (No, saying my y’all and all y’all is cute unless you can hear or see me. *coughcough* Sophia and Sarah *coughcough*)

I know you don’t get on much, but I wanna say you are awesome and amazing. Everytime I see you I’m so glad that you were my first sister. I love all of your charries(yes, one in particular more than the others. xD (Love you Piskus! <3) ). I really hope we can get together when we come out to California. I miss you SO much already! Love you sis!

You are so amazing and beautiful and lots of other things. I miss you dearly already. I loved being a part of your chain that ran around the lobby. Of course, I love being your sister and couldn’t imagine a WS without you. I pray that you can come out to TX later this year. *hugs* I love and miss you, my dear sister. <3

WHISPY!!!! WE FINALLY MET!!!! You are so much more awesome in person, my Converse-loving sis. Thank. You. For. Introducing. Me. To. MORE. Fandoms. That. I must. Watch. Be warned that you will be my fangirl person. We shall Google talk, chat, PM, Google Hangout, and hopefully Skype about these awesome new shows. *nodnod* And no more spoilers! Except for Rose. You can give me that one. Please?? *puppydog eyes* At least tell me what series and episode she comes back in! Oh and you must send me more of your stories that you need to write. xP And don’t forget to send me that Chance and Jack fanfic about being drinking buddies. I loved our late night talks in the lounge and your room. Y’all finally got me to drabble! I miss you so much already.
(Cam told me to tell you that she says hi to Raymond and she looks forward to going shopping with him sometime.)


Susan/Agent Whale

AW!! We finally got to meet after not realizing/not knowing who you were at the SW two years ago!!!! It was so amazing to meet you. You’re so sweet and amazing. I loved sitting net to you and your sister during the sessions and at meals(and I’m sure y’all enjoyed my rambling on and on about nothing in particular that morning after I got no sleep. xP). I really, really miss you so much already. We need to talk more. I have Google chat, and can do skype or hangouts. Oh and I’m almost done with your critique. ^^ Love you, sis!
(And Ava says to tell Jaykeb she loves him. Rose says to tell Oaden she loves him.)


Sarah/Figgy Figment
Spoiler
It was great to see you again! You’re such a great little sister. It was awesome sitting with you in sessions and for meals and hanging out. I really hope I’ll get up there sometime and a group of us can go out for lunch or dinner. I wish I could take you up on that offer to move up there and live in your house while I go to college. xD But it’s a little far. *hugs* I miss you so much and love you even more, sis. <3
(Lillie says for you to tell Alex she misses him and wants to see him.)


Karina/Quillmaster
Spoiler
You’re so awesome and cute! I love your stories. (I really wish I could have been there that first day when you read your Loki fanfic. xD) I really enjoyed staying up and having those late night talks mixed in with looking at Pinterest and Tumblr.


Collin/Thirteen
Spoiler
It was awesome to meet you! I can’t wait to meet Chance cause he just sounds... hilarious and awesome. I loved staying up until morning hours talking about nothing and anything we could think of (including the awkward subjects xD). I shall now start watching Supernatural and My Little Pony and I’ll probably start spamming your page with fangirl messages. Just be warned now. Oh and no more spoilers! xP


Samantha/Samantha:)
Spoiler
Sam!! It was great to meet you finally!! You’re so awesome and pretty in person! I really hope we can meet again sometime! We need to talk more. *nodnod* If you want you can text me.


Jacie
Spoiler
Jacie!! Hi!! I loved meeting you! It was awesome to get to hang out with you and just talk. ^-^ Which we need to talk more! I’m on Facebook, Google talk/hangouts, Skype, and email. Oh and I have unlimited texting!
(Nicki, Tanner, and Nic all miss their loves. Aere... Misses Drake.
Aere: *glares at both of us* If you value your life you better not dare to even think about telling him.)


“Those” Calabashes
Spoiler
Hey y’all! So I just wanted to say that y’all were an awesome group. Jared, I love how you moved us out into the hall after only one day since we couldn’t keep from laughing. xD We were definitely ‘that’ group. I loved all of your stories and can’t wait to finish reading them(in order ).


The S’s
Spoiler
Thank y’all so much for everything you do. I can’t tell you how much the OYAN curriculum has changed my life. Not to mention the forum and the SWs. I’ve made so made friendships that I can’t even count and each and every one of them is special. Thank you so much for everything. I can’t wait to see you again at the WW. <3


That’s everyone I can think of right now. If I missed you, I‘m sorry and I loved meeting you and hanging out with you too! (Really I loved meeting everyone. OYANers are the best to hang out with.)

While it IS nice to not have to eat cafeteria food and to have my own bathroom I would so much rather be back at the university with all of you. But for now it’s back to my boring life with no one to fangirl or write with. I miss all y’all so much and love y’all even more.

From one of my favorite songs ‘The Call’ by Regina Spektor (The one that GG95 and Leinad sang that made me tear up):

“Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye.”

Until the WW or the next SW,
