Ree Reference Guide aka Birthday Post Part I aka love you like Justin loves eating spaghetti! ♥

So, I started this little project because I wanted to look back and find some icons that I remember wanting to save again in url_girl's journal. It started out innocently enough. Then, I just kept going through icons and posts after posts of really memorable moments that I wanted to post about for nostalgia purposes. Finally, I just decided to turn it into a Ree Raid Project.

Fandom is an interesting place. Ultimately, fandom can be a very happy place and I think that Ree's journal is that happy place. She's posted icons, written stories, pastede on hedz that make everyone laugh. She's not selfish with her offerings, always willing to share something that she finds with everyone so that many can see what they may not be able to see where they are (example: Qaf alum activities but particularly Gale and Randy). So, in honor of her birthday and her five year anniversary here on LJ, we have the Ode to Ree.

Ree's first icons date back to August 16, 2004. Now, I've always loved her icons. Why? You know you have a great icon maker when they immediately catch your eye (in a good way). Look at her sense of humor:

Hysterical.

( The Queer as Folk Fandom. Warning: VERY image heavy. )

So, I think that I'm all caught up on her icons for Queer as Folk anyway. You mean that there are more awesome icons that she does? You are correct my friends. When Ree ventured into the world of Luke and Noah on As the World Turns, I went all Scooby Doo on her. "Bzzzzuhhh?" Were my exact words if I remember correctly. But, what can I say, pretty, good looking men in a dramatic/sweet storyline on television? Count me in. Not only has she made wonderful icons for that fandom but also incredible recaps that are not only detailed but her observations are hee-larious. Coming up in Part II!

Ree Reference Guide aka Birthday Post Part II aka love you like Noah loves giving Luke neckties! ♥

As I said, Ree joined Luke and Noah fandom and went in full force! When I discovered L/N, all I had to do was look back at her posts and not only was I entertained, I was all caught up and just as interested in the story. "Interested" is an understatement.

Ree first wrote about the pairing on Jan. 22, 2008. Then can the icons and there have been many of them.

RANDOM
The Daytime Emmy Award doodles that she did for the Luke and Noah fandom can be found here.

The thing about Ree is she is the most spoiler-free person I know. If there are spoilers on the 'net, then you keep them away from her. I've tried to do the spoiler-free thing but I am usually unsuccessful. Ree? She is made of STEEL or something else that makes you completely indestructible to the spoilers that roam the net. I didn't think it was possible but Ree has proven that it is possible. Therefore, I will forever remember the day that she willingly broke her spoiler resistance and Luke and Noah are the couple who made her do it. It is an event that is to be written in the reference guide. It happened on January 10, 2009.

Forward to Part III

Ree Reference Guide aka Birthday Post Part III aka love you like Daphne loves Justin's antics! ♥

May I also add to the above "... loves Justin!" It just wouldn't fit with my theme. :|

Again, there are a million things I totally love about Ree and if you don't love her for her creations, her graphics, her doodles, then there's more. Yes, there's more. Ree's never lost her love for fandom or fandom squee particularly concerning Queer as Folk, Gale Howard Harold, and Queer as Folk's Randy Harrison. She's an equal squee opportunist when it comes to the above. Let's take a little trip down memory lane, shall we?

( The Chronology of Ree. )

I've developed a new language of Ree.

Reecap: Ree's recaps on ... anything!
Reecon: Ree's icons made by Ree for me or icons that I just find to be so particularly Ree.
Reeism: Something says off-hand in a comment that is totally BRILLIANT. Brilliant defined as hilarious, hysterical, SOTRUEOMG, so true and you didn't realize it was true, totally agree.
Ree Reference Guide: This right here. Your reference guide to all things Ree (graphics, icons, doodles, pastede on hedz, etc)
Reeventures: Adventures in which Ree goes to an event that's Qaf alum related!

Edited to add: ... how amazing and kind that I think she is because she answers all of her comments. I mean, years and years past, you drop a line and when she gets back she'll answer. I mean, that's just dedication and replying to comments just shows that you've read what that person has said and you're acknowledging it. That's why we're in this large LJ landscape, is it not? So, for her to go through and answer her comments? I really admire that about her. ♥

And that's about it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REEFACE!
I ♥ YOU LOTS!
YOURS, AFACE
