Love, Appreciation, Adoration, and Any Other Nice Stuff About People!

tnf/Amy

We've actually known each other for a while, but I think we got on the wrong footing. We've talked recently, and she's appreciated my presence on ZU, and I like her overall personality. She may seem a little intimidating to some people, but if you talk to her and get to know her, you'd discover how cool she is. I like her sassy fun side, and her nice caring side. She once complained to me about how some people find her intimidating on ZU, but, like I said, a lot of people like her, and her personality makes her unique. Overall, I can tell that we are gonna be friends.


I love this song...

Erik the Douche/Philemon Authur

I haven't really talked to this guy, but I always enjoy his posts. They're so jolly and chipper. And I love his cute animals thread because it makes me smile smile smile. Even though he doesn't have that many posts, I've seen him around ZU frequently, and always enjoy his contributions to the community. Erik certainly isn't a douche from what I've seen of him.

Chris (Gamzee)

Man, you are a hero. I look up to you. You are like a brother to me, but a friend. I can always go to you if I have something to say, and you aren't afraid to tell me how it is. I love having you on here. I know I may pester you by asking questions all the time, but you are one of the best ZUers. You are a fabulous writer and I wish to be as good as you someday. You are a great mod, and you are very just. You seem to be the most chilled guy on here. I appreciate all you do for me and all of ZU. Thank you, man for all you do.

Princess Kaguya: A fun-loving friend, who I LOVE talking to, because it's always fun.

Momiji Inubashiri: One of my first friends, she is always there when I need to talk to someone, and we always have silly fun together. <3

Love you all.

Strawberry

This chick is awesome. She is funny and smart and really cool to talk to. SHE LEFT DIN AND ALL HER FRIENDS. But that's ok. We still love her.

If you find a funny vid on Youtube, send it to her. Chances are, she'll love it.

Overall, she is a real pleasure to talk to and...wait.

HOW DO I NOT HAVE YOU ON SKYPE. I DEMAND TO KNOW. D:<

so i guess i am talking about
melpomene

I shall start with her in staff. Did you know she pretty much runs the awards by herself? Last winter she was the one posting about them and trying to get them counted up 'n ♥♥♥♥. She always posts her onion which is a bonus. Her contributions as a staff member began pretty early in her ZU career.

Her political views are interesting, considering that I wouldn't really expect them out of her. They're somewhat similar to mind and I like to hear about them.

Also we both ♥♥♥♥ing love David Bowie!


The sexiest man ever, second only to Morrison. Anyone who loves Bowie is amazing.

So yeah, she's a great gal with good taste in musicians and politics. Keep up the good work, mein dictator.

She always posts her onion which is a bonus.

PIETRO


[9:43:44 PM] Pietro: No one write me a post, I don't want pity posts

JE SUIS UNE ANGLO CONSERVATEUR ♥♥♥♥. JE NE DONNE PAS DE MERDE. Si je n'avais pas envie d'écrire ce, je ne serais pas à l'écrire. <3

*coughs*

As I'm sure many of you would expect from me by now after several of these posts, I first met, or I first remember Pietro from the SD. Last year, during the Canadian Federal Election, I started at thread about it and several of us Canucks got into that.

Me being an english right winger, and him being a french left winger, it's no surprise that we got in a big debate over politics. ESPECIALLY about Quebec. I'm sure both of us left that debate with less than favourable opinions of the other. It happens in SD.

And that was that, for a good long while. Until I wanted to round a bunch of people up for a drunkskype and he came up as a possibility. By that point, I'd learned to drop political differences and make friends in spite of them. So my opinion of him mellowed out quite a bit. He never did show up for drinking in the end (I am saddened), but that was the start of some very occasional VMs between us.

For a couple months that. Then in the last few weeks, I guess I've really been making an outreach to people in the community, so I've been posting up his wall quite a bit.

Probably finds me quite annoying by now he does :p.

Outside of my political feelings, Pietro is one smart guy. I can freely admit that. He impresses me with both his process of thought and the knowledge he has. I've really been picking his brain about Quebec.

If you're a follower of Canadian politics at all, you'd likely know about the Quebec separatism referendums that went on in the past few decades. Even though partition has been narrowly rejected both times, the whole fiasco has really embittered English Canadians as a whole about the French. Even until very recently, I was one of these people.

A large part of that disdain stems from the separatists being loud and proud and such, while the french federalists are a very quiet group. So you don't see anyone but the Gilles Duceppes of Quebec.

Pietro has, through some unconscious action of his, managed to breath life back into my hope for a Canada that isn't torn apart by regionalism and linguistic differences. We are lucky to live in a country as rich as ours. To break it apart would be asinine in the highest degree.

He's even managed to inspire me into finding a way to learn French in my lifetime. Bilingualism is part of Canada after all.

We are tremendously proud of our cultures, heritage and achievements and we will continue to break new ground. I am proud to be a Canadian and I hope you are too.

Would I consider us friends? I'm not sure. I would like to count him as one of my friends, but I have a feeling that he holds himself aloof. Either from me or people in general.

I'd like to give a shout-out to my homie Joe/Kee Something.

He's funny, hilarious, down to earth, and he sure does love his video games. He also has a ridiculous sense of the humor that's so over-the-top but so realistic at the same time.

plus he doesnt afraid of anything

If you wouldn't have made such a good post I would be pissed, but thank you, really made me smile.

I'm like that with everyone, its nothing personal. I just don't connect well with others especially over the internet and most people just don't like me (that's not to say they dislike me, which is something completely different. They don't like me, nor do they dislike me, its more of a neutral opinion.)

But yeah, thanks.

I like you Pietro!!!!!

pietro, if its any consolation, you are one person on a very, very short list of people whose posts I actually read.

Aw, never did I expect this. : D Thank you, and the same to you. You seem like an intelligent fella.

I haven't been here long to know that much ppl but I have met a few that have been helpful.

Buu- Buu helped me when I first got into ZU. She helped me with the question tag and was nice to me and very welcoming. I can tell that she is a nice fun person. I am looking forward to getting to know her better. (hopefully) Oh and also she's cute.

Nicollete- Nicollete is very nice and a chill person to talk too. We have been talking for awhile and she is a very interesting person and just all around a great person. She has made me feel welcomed here as well. And she is cute.

Ahluk- Going into this Ahluk was the only one that I knew. So I'm not sure if I'm supposed to write about him but looks like I am. He has been one of my best friends for how long now. Ever since I can remember we have been hanging out, playing games, and playing ball together. He is pretty much family. My bro. Village life just wouldn't be the same without some broskimo love.

I really, really appreciate to all those who have written a post for me, and now it's my turn to appreciate someone else. And this person is:

Gamzee



I haven't known this guy for long, but he's easily becoming such a great and close friend to me. For someone who I might not know much is already making an impact on my life in a way.
We all know Gamzee as a great moderator who actively participates in events that matter, and is not afraid to voice out his opinion. He is a fantastic member in this community and to me, the moderator team just wouldn't feel the same without him.

Not only is he a great moderator, but he writes some fantastic poetry and stories. Words in general is something I cannot grasp well to form into a brilliant story or poem, which is why I go down the visual road of producing what I imagine into pictures. But Gamzee has a way with words that are truly inspiring. I really do hope that the book he plans to publish soon becomes extremely successful, because everything that I have read from him truly takes me to other worlds. I also have to say that your way with words inspires me to draw new artworks.


Other than that, I'm going to go down a personal road here about why I appreciate Gamzee.

I used to have some form of social anxiety walking around in public or how I used to view myself. I was always… really strict with myself and how everything should be around me. I guess I could say that it might be a form of mild OCD in a way or whatever.
But anyway, one day several weeks ago, I was planning on taking a short and simple walk around the block where I live. Nothing more. But it was so hard to do that (I ended up pacing up and down a room thinking about it) because I was shy going outdoors, and it felt like it was going to break my usual routine in the afternoon (which was me doing nothing but either draw or internet). But then for some weird reason, I thought of Gamzee.
Now… if you don't know him well as a person, he is an extremely lax guy. I am not kidding. Nothing seems to break him down and his view on life is just incredibly inspiring to me. I like his sense of "just go with the flow and enjoy everything" and that "everything should be free."
So after Gamzee came to mind, all of my worries and social anxiety just… disappeared. So I grabbed my shoes, went out the front gate and started walking. And all through my mind it was just that constant Gamzee inspiration and I ♥♥♥♥ing made it. And now everyday from now on I walk, even further than before and I find it easier to talk to strangers because of one person who I might not know very well, but is already making an impact on my life and how I should live it. I feel as though I've become extremely relaxed lately as well - like I can breathe for once.

Anyway, I do apologise if that sounded remotely weird or creepy (like how one ZUer can make a change in someone's life in a way), but hey man… you did it. And I find it so much easier to enjoy things that I never did before. You've pretty much saved me from my anxiety of going out and enjoying life to the full.


So for that, I appreciate you Chris, and thank you for being such a unique person in this community, and in a way, towards my own life.

I haven't even published any of my writings yet and I'm already inspiring people .

Appreciate!!

HOLDEN

Hello Holden. I can't believe I haven't written a fappost about you yet - but apparently, that's the truth! So I quickly need to fix this.

Holden, Holden... Where to start? Holden is one of the coolest writers ever. Lately I have lurked his writing threads more often and it's mostly his poems that have gotten to me. He has this contemporary touch, but at the same time he doesn't oversimplify his poems, no: they have tricky details, sophisticated words, extreme and excitingly new metaphors and pictures. I really enjoy his poetry - my favourite thing to do is comparing it with Gamzee's poetry, but Chris misunderstands it, I LIKE HIS POETRY TOO, omg you two. <3 At the same time, Holden genuinely supports others, helps them with their art, leads them on the rough path of art, and his dedication towards his section is admirable and I really like that he's in such a close touch with the members of the section.

...I feel this is taking an evaluation-road, so I'll go back to Holden as a person. :'>

What I really appreciate in Holden is his honesty and his gentlemanly attitude. He's incredibly kind. Like, you have no idea. At the same time, he will tell you if you are silly or wrong, but in such a tender manner that you just have to be all yes I am wrong, let me hug you, Holden, seriously; and he's happy to give advice and he is actually pretty good at it. He is calm and collected and views the world that way and handles issues in such manner too, which leads to excellent efficiency.

Holden is one of those persons I'd seek in trouble; he's trustworthy and smart and not judgmental. He is frank. He is a friend. A good one. And on top of all that, HE IS YOUNGER THAN ME. It is amazing how mature he is, I'd think he's 22 or so. It really makes me feel proud of today's youth! xD To tl;dr it, I'm really glad to know him, because he's a wonderful individual and someone I think is bound to become famous and/or successful one day. He has all the potential to make a difference in the world, and he has the strength and enthusiasm to do make it. It's admirable.

Oh and he's hilarious as my ass. Lolol.
I love and appreciate you a lot, manbro. <3
