Similarly, thanks to Mojopinuk, who fought hard for me to be a part of the team, and was my first friend here at MB. You have been the single most supportive individual here and I won't forget it. Thanks to Conan and Nonsubmissivewife for listening to me on days when it's all become a bit too much. Thanks to Engine for being a non-judgmental bulwark of sanity, you bring out the logical philosopher in me. Thanks to Unicr0n, my obsessive, analytical lastFM buddy. You let me ramble about music, and you don't get frustrated with me when I send you unintelligible drunken messages. And thank you to Unchained Ballad, who is the male, Portugese me, and never fails to make me laugh or listen to my absurd ambitions.

TL;DR

Thanks Music Banter, for making me want to work hard, and for taking me in.
