It took a while for me to come here to post ... not only because I was experiencing a combination of shock, shaking, and numbness ... not to mention speechless (and that's hard to do) ... but I was getting a gazillion PM's, and many of my special friends who were ingame at the time, TP'd over to the Sakura Trade Center to celebrate with me. Some heard about it and logged in special to connect, so thank you all for that as well. Once I got my bearings, I answered the PMs, and then partied a little with my friends.
This is how it all happened ... I came ingame late to do a small crafting run on my OreAmp-101 BP which I now have at 84.1 QR. The small run consisted of 180 clicks only this time. I got several globals, as I always do, but when I was winding down, I got this little beauty ...

Then 5 minutes later, I was hyperventilating after getting this ...

When I started getting PM's ... they were saying that it was #5 on the ATH crafting hit parade, so I had to get the pic of that as well ...

After getting the PM responses completed, I took a few moments to celebrate with some of my friends who were not only there, but who came from elsewhere to celebrate after seeing/hearing the news. Thank you very much for taking the time, it's greatly appreciated. I'm going to be putting together some beacon runs for this weekend for socmates and friends, so I will be contacting those it applies to soon.
There's nothing like ... a little champagne, fireworks, and special friends to help celebrate the moment ... like my lovable Odd Bunny, Polynices, TOAST, Napoleon, Naga, Carl, Snag, and of course Lykke and VF who kept me laughing in PMs ... LOVE YOU GUYS ... and thanks too, to all those who took the time to PM me a Gratz ... there was a gazillion of them, and hard to keep up, but we should all have that problem, eh?

What's really special about this is ... that today is my brother Jetboy's birthday (April 2nd), so knowing that he was working a late shift, I sent him a text message about it. I think everyone in the Chicago airport heard him when he said "HOLY SHIT" ... ... and I can see him doing this, and then trying to explain to someone what it's all about! I even called Moonie in Canada since we had just basically said GNite after a chat on Skype. "Holy Shit" seems to be the phrase of the moment!
I got a lot of proposals in the trade center after the ATH ... but I think that Lootius has taken front and center stage at the moment.
Now I'm going to breathe! ... ok, and jump around a bit!
