But am very happy about the graceful, elegant ring that now adorns one of them.

It's strange to think how these separate lives and friendships influence each other. Sometimes I'll go on hiatus here for months at a time, and return unsure about how I fit in - but all the while, the things that I'm trying and doing are possible largely because of my RAFO-related experiences. Legolas in particular taught me how to be a better, more understanding and mature person. And if I think way back to 13-year-old Clover, who relied on wotmania for a sense of family, I know she'd want there to be an announcement here.

So, here's to you, RAFOwotmania! I wouldn't be where I am without you.
