So, I was just minding my own business, and listening to my new Kelly Clarkson CD, when I decided to log on to dA. The first thing I noticed was that my deviantMessage counted way more message centre items than usual, most of which were messages. Shocked and pleasantly surprised, my initial thought was that some thoughtful, popular and infinitely more talented deviant had featured me in their journal. What I didn't expect was that such a deviant was in fact our very own Gallery Director and that she had, in fact, given me a DD.

Thanks, ^livius!

And should I prove to be too lazy to thank all those who faved Chess, I'll thank them right here, right now.

So thank you, ^livius, for giving me the DD; ~WhiteRasengan, for being the first to congratulate me on my DD (and generally being a cool friend); comment-and-favers, for actually commenting before faving; other commenters, for being nice; favers, for ,uh, faving; watchers, for their general support; and you, for bothering to read this lovely rambly entry.
