One Year

One year of insanity.

InSANity, if you will.

When I joined Adult Nerdfighters in June of 2012, I had just recently joined Nerdfighteria. I was still watching all of the videos and learning about things like puppy-sized elephants, song Wednesday, and sharpie face (all things which make sense if you've watched enough vlogbrothers videos). I was excited to meet other people who were my age (or close to it) who enjoyed being a nerd as much as I did.

One of the threads that happened during this time period was a thread asking where the single nerdfighters were. SO MANY people responded...and then in the middle of the night, Single Adult Nerdfighters (SAN) was created. Starting off as a place for us all to just talk and perhaps meet another nerdfighter, this place has become so much more than that.

It's a community. It's a home.

I think it's such a cool thing to be able to say that I have friends all over the world now. I'm not going to name names because I will inevitably leave someone out and then I'll feel bad. But it's an awesome feeling to know that these people have become some of my closest friends. From late night hangouts where we've all been up far later than we intended to be, to crazy threads that get so off topic that you're not sure what the original post was about in the first place, to our own dictionary of terms that we use to confuse scare welcome the new SANites with, to our recent Cards Against Humanity games which have had me laughing so hard I can't breathe properly.

I've made so many friends in this group...people I know I can go to at any time with my sadness, my happiness, my joys and my sorrows. And I've been there for theirs.

It's been a wonderful year filled with discovery and new friendships. To my lovely, wonderful, beautiful SANites who I know are reading this, I love you all so much. Thank you for accepting me as the nerdy fangirl that I am.

You all have NEVER forgotten to be awesome.
