So I got this e-mail just now from a girl in high school who wants to *interview* me, and not just for some goofy Sailormoon page, either. Apparently she's been a longtime fan of my silly websites and got interested in web design, in part, because of them. So, she turned to me when she needed to do a school project on a field she's interested in.

ME. Me me me me. :O

There is something incredibly flattering about this. I have to say that, when you start making your goofy fan pages and personal interest projects, you don't really expect it to mean a whole lot to anyone but yourself. So it's really startling when someone writes to you and tells you how much you've affected them, and it's not just "hey ur page is kewl" or something of equal depth. ;p Don't get me wrong, those comments are nice to see too, but they don't really say "Hey, you've affected my LIFE."

As a person who doesn't expect, or especially hope, to become a name that everyone knows and admires, I find this really touching. This is the kind of thing that made me stick with those Sailormoon pages for three years, through all the flaming and board wars. There are some really nice people out there.

So yeah, if you're reading this, thanks. :D
