Is having the best week of her life.
I originally intended to do something like this for Christmas, but I unfortunately wasn't back in time. Here's a little tribute (idea shamelessly copied from Celvas) to all of the lovely and fabulous friends I've made during 2013.
arurueI think the first time we met was when you won one of the contests for Rising-Artists, and even then, I remember thinking how beautiful your art style was. Then I got to know you more personally, and whether I was working with you as part of the admin team or bonding over being a fellow CSS-er, it has certainly been lovely knowing you this year.
AstralseedSince your Movember moustache is gone, you should consider yourself lucky that I haven't removed you from my watch list.
I had always admired you from afar because of your pretty ^ hat, but as I got to know you more, I began to admire you less. Just kidding! 
Actually, your level of dedication to the community truly amazes me. Between all of the volunteering, administrating, and surviving of real life that you do, I have no idea how you manage to find any time to eat and sleep, but somehow you do. You have long been an inspiration to me, and I'm certain that you will always continue to be one, not only to me but to many other deviants as well.
feat-outsiderYou are just too sweet sometimes.
Thank you so much for the lovely (and sparkling! 
) avatar you made me, and for all of the work you've done at Rising-Artists. I hope that the new year brings you lots of love and joy, my friend. 
CelvasOh, Celvas, where do I start? Ever since the beginning when you blew me away with your amazing CSS skillz, it's been truly wonderful getting to know you. You are hands-down the wittiest person I have ever met (and probably the wittiest person I will ever meet), and you are also an incredibly talented, kind, generous, and warmhearted friend. I know your life hasn't been the greatest (you seem to have the most rotten luck with dates, at the very least), but nothing ever seems to keep you down. Despite it all, you come out kicking with a smile on your face, and that never fails to inspire me. Stay strong, and don't ever stop being fabulous, Maria.
x-Skeletta-xMy fellow free-resource-and profile-decoration-provider!
Your enthusiasm for creating resources for everyone is what inspires me to continue putting out my own free resources, and it's been great to work with you as part of DazzlingDecorations this past year. You have my eternal love for such a beautiful Christmas present, and I hope you have a fantastic new year!
PizzaPotatoNBaconDear fluffeh~. I remember how surprised I was to learn how young you are, and even now I keep finding myself stunned by your maturity, your hard work, and your warm heart.
Your dedication towards supporting the community truly inspires me, and you make up a large part of the reason why I always try to go the extra mile while admining in my groups. You are so bright and filled with wonderful ideas, and I am truly grateful that I have been able to call you a friend this year. May the new year bring you lots of pizzas. 
FTSArtsI don't think you'll ever stop surprising me with how hard you work here on dA. Whether you're working at Rising-Artists or SantaDoesExist, you always put your all into making the community a better place. I hope this new year brings you all of the best, because you deserve nothing less.
GinkgoWerkstattAlthough I still fail at spelling your name, you are certainly worth mentioning.
Your inspiring designs and detailed CSS tutorials helped me along when I was first learning CSS, and you continue to amaze me with all that you do for the community. You make a fantastic dA related CV, and I'm sure that you'll continue on to inspire many more deviants in the future.
Lady-CompassionYou are always so cheerful, it has been a real pleasure meeting and working with you this year. Not only are you a talented fractal artist, but you are also a kindhearted, hardworking, and generous friend. I hope you have a most wonderful new year filled with lots of your favorite Bleach fanart.
miontreDear miontre, what can I say? Without you, I may have never discovered how much I love designing skins -- how much I adore CSS. Your Rustle skin was one of the first ones I ever installed back when I first got my PM in 2012, and I remember being awed by your work until I realized that you were younger than me. Then I was like, "wut, if this kid can do it, I so can too," and that was the start of my web development career.
All joking aside, I truly do admire you, not only for your inspiring artwork, but also for your character. You are ingenious, mature, wonderful, diligent, imaginative, humorous, compassionate, and every other lovely adjective that exists in the dictionary. You are beautiful, Amazir, inside and out. 
ManboobLover69Before I personally knew you, I just thought of you as Fluffy's crazy friend (daughter?
). And now that I know you, you are now Fluffy's and Simply's crazy friend. 
Dear Neccers, as crazy as you are, your comments never fail to bring a smile to my face. I know you've had faced many troubles in real life, but somehow you still manage to stay cheerful. May the new year bring you lots of joy, because you certainly deserve it.
rainylakeMy dear, button-obsessed friend.
Rainy, you work so hard for the dA community that sometimes you need to take some time off for yourself to relax and do whatever grackles like to do for fun. I know that you're going through some difficult times right now, but don't lose hope and always remember that you have a whole group of friends cheering you on, back at dA. Stay strong, and I hope this year brings you only the best. You deserve that much, and so much more, my friend. 
RiemeaCongratulations on the senior nomination, Rie! During this entire time that I've known you, I've always admired how hard you worked at supporting the community, and if anyone deserves that tick/medal, it's you.
It's been loving knowing you this year, and I hope we have many more memories to celebrate together in the future.

Thought I would just leave you hanging, huh? Dear froggy, you are amazing too leave it at that. Not only are you such a dedicated part of the community, but your comments are always the ones that make me burst out into random laughter, making my parents look at me strangely. I know you're going through some rough and busy times right now, but don't give up hope. Keep that sense of humor alive, and go show them what you've got, froggeh!

TheGalleryOfEveEve, you are certainly the most cheerful and energetic person I have ever had the pleasure to meet here on dA. I remember the first few times I talked to you, I saw all of your emotes and wondered to myself whether you were just excited that day, or whether you were always that enthusiastic (turned out to be the latter).
Seeing your cheerful messages in my inbox always brightens my day, and I'm sure the same goes for all of the people you talk to. It has been wonderful getting to know you, and I hope the new year brings you lots of yummy nutella....
To everyone mentioned here, thank you for making 2013 on deviantART so memorable for me. To all of my other friends and my watchers, thank you so much for the continued support. You all are the reason I look forward to coming onto deviantART each day, and I hope that every single one of you has a fantastic new year!
Lots of love,SimplySilent
