Today is the incomparable ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blue_fjords's birthday. Let me tell you a little bit about Blue. And yeah I know her real name, but to me she will ALWAYS be Blue.
I have yet to meet her in person, but it is more a matter of 'when' not 'if' that will happen. She is one of the kindest, funniest people I know - her current Costa Rica posts are a great example, as she insists on being silly in giving all the animals names of her favorite tv characters. So there is Dean and Cas and Arthur and Eames and... she had me going there for a minute, thinking they were really named that. Dork C.
Anyway! She is also very generous! She has been my go-to beta for a long time on my original stuff, and when I write, I think "I wonder if Blue will like this?" She is my First Reader and I love her for her patience and putting up with my frantic inundations of 'wait! FORGET THAT CHAPTER! READ THIS ONE!' (and sometimes doing that 3-4 times with the same chapter). She is priceless! She is even in my newest book currently being gone over at my publisher (along with Mander). I just had to do it!
What else is wonderful about Blue? She works for animals! She is one of those people who gives and gives to the worlds of endangered wildlife, and when she talks about the things they have accomplished - like the successful reintroduction of the gorgeous Scarlet Macaw into the wild - well, she just glows with pride. She also was one of those amazing, selfless people who worked so hard after Katrina to help all the lost and bewildered dogs and cats, reuniting dozens of them with their grateful families, and finding homes for those who they could not reunite. I am in awe.
And to top everything off - she makes THE BEST vegan Red Velvet cupcakes IN THE WORLD! And tons of other flavors too, running a side business in her spare time, selling cupcakes and now dog treats on the weekends. She is amazing! She has inundated me with cupcakes over the last few years, and there are none better. Made with Blue love! I miss her tons though because she is always cooking, but that's what happens when you run a business on your own.
What else? There are lots of other things! Like her adoration and love of family, her sense of humor, uh, and plus she is just darn CUTE.
And so, cheers to Blue, you awesome, wonderful person, on your birthday. I adore you, you are an awesome friend, and I feel very lucky to have you in my life.
