I’m not sure if you heard or not, but Navi has been gifted with a Darkmoon Rabbit Battle Pet.
Go ahead, read her post.
Actually, go ahead and Google “Darkmoon Rabbit” and see what you get. If you read enough of it, you’ll come away with an idea on how hard it is to get one, and the level of admiration/affection her friend has for her.
A while back, Matty and I came up with an idea to gift Navi with a collage of Notes of Appreciation. In the midst of trying to contact all of the 60+ Blogs on her Blogroll, I was asked a question.
“Z, what’s with all the Navi-love?”
My response was:
“I’m not really sure. I guess she is the common thread between me and Matty.”
In her blog post, someone makes a statement on how “nice” a “friend” she has.
In which she responds, “I only HAVE nice friends :)”
While I don’t doubt the veracity of that statement, I think there may be more of a reason.
Why does Navimie “seem” to get so many meaningful gifts?
Here is my answer:
Navi makes you feel like a Rock Star.
My first piece of evidence is the Navispams.
There is only one reason that all of these people have been Navispammed. Namely, that they are “worth” it. Navimie has decided that these folks are worth getting to know. Worth researching, tracking down, stalking, blogged about, and shown for all the world to see at their very best.
Navimie gets nice things because she has gone out of her way, made it a mission, to show others as “being” special, worthy and wanted.
My second piece of evidence is her constant encouragement.
Not only does she read every boring USAF Update I write, but she constantly pours encouragement into it.
I’m not the only one she does this to.
My third piece of evidence is how she shows appreciation.
You see, thankfulness is systemic with her. It is part and parcel with who she is as a WoW Player/Community Blogger.
Her blog is full of “Navispams, Thank Yous, and Gratz(!) Posts.”
And then, she even goes the extra mile with something like this:
You can also read where she did something similar for Erinys of Harpy’s Nest Blog.
This is why Navimie gets nice things:
It is an outpouring of appreciation for the gift(s) she’s already given us.
Now, who should we lavish some love upon next? I’m taking nominations!

Awww Zwingli… This is a really really really nice post!!!!
You are going to make me cry!

What a great summary of all things Navi. Well done Z 🙂
Thank you!
One of the things that makes Navimie so special is the way she links the community together, her going to other servers reminds us all of how everyone is connected. Not many people could go and do that, she is unusually nice herself, especially with how the general community seems.
I completely agree with you. She really is a thread that ties many of us together.
I like that she still likes me even though I am a Dork of All the Ages. Besides, I need a place to crash whenever I get a chance to visit Down Under.
You hit upon a deep motivation here… When I eventually bring the family to visit Australia, I’m totally hitting her up for a place to crash. >.>
