Express your gratitude

As with every other thread, lock this if it has no business being here, open, or existent in any way.

This thread is for showing appreciation to those, and to give gratitude, compliments, or anything that you think a fellow ZUer or person in real life is deserving of. It is meant as a positive thing, and it will not be appreciated if you twist your way through and compliment someone on their flaws. This is not a game in any way; you are not complimenting the person above you, below you, or anything of the sort. This applies to any person you know. Say nice things, not hurtful things. And do not compliment with words such as "you're hot". Uh uh, no, it just isn't appropriate.

this thread can also be used to voice what you are thankful for, such as "I am thankful for the roof over my head, the food I am given", etc. Hopefully, everyone will find something different to post, so there will not be the problem of repitition, as that gets old quickly.

Also, the point is to be sure and let others know how you feel publically, of course, not in the romantic sense. You have PMs for that.

I would love for this thread to be kept clean from spam and undesired responses. If you know that a person does not want you being open with something, do not post it.

Well, to set an example, I will go first:

I thank Alonely for bluntly telling people just how it is in their lives. It can sometimes be quite humorous, and she always gets her point across.

I compliment SparzaBme for maintaining her happy persona and staying true to herself.

I thank Kalimar, Goldstud, Surio, and Mr. Fish for making my favorite sprite comics, and continuing them. ^^

I thank Riku's_girl for coming up with the bright idea of the PPP.

And so, have fun.

Wonderful idea sjr12! ^_^

I thank sjr12 for making the new PPP site and for being so very awesome.

I thank Mr. Fish for his hilarious comics and making me laugh so hard I cry.

I thank Rain for making such great sigs that I can gawk at.

I thank Zorolo for being a good friend and helping me around the BA and stuff.

I thank DT for being my adopter and such a awesome person.

I thank Nebby for being my partner in sliming people.

I think that shall be all for now. ^^

I would like to thank all the wise men for being so committed to ZU, timeline, and of course choosing me.

I would also like to thank the mods for keeping this place spam free unlike all those other crappy forums.

That's it for now...

Ker-score!

Ry-san: For giving me great advice, which I never take until I've made the mistake on my own and realize I should have listened to her to begin with. And for not being afraid to tell me I'm an idiot.

Winged Fire Ninja (previously known as linkmastersword): For all his attempts to make me laugh when I was down. Even though it didn't work, you have my sincere gratitude, buddy.

Safer: For being a constant reminder not to get angry, but always stay calm and gentle, even when a friend is doing something to himself that you know is incredibly stupid and self-damaging.

Terrin (previously known as Bloodsword): For helping make the BA version of the DL chronology so freaking awesome. By the way, buddy, the Alliance and DH go to you when the Tears' stories have ended. Treat 'em well and consult me on AIM if you ever have any questions on how they handle matters.

Shrub: For being a great friend, even though we don't talk as much as I'd like. >> I always feel like I'm going to interrupt something particularly...personal. Talk to me, Jessi! I'm too timid to start a conversation! ;__; You know this already.

Scott: For being just plain awesome and sharing my interest--although unindulged--in nature.

Awbri: Just for being so darned cute. I hope my future daughter turns out just like you, sweetie. Thanks for being there when I needed you.

LadyElvenarcher: For making me who I am today. I can never thank her sufficiently, nor can I apologize enough for my past transgressions. I don't deserve her forgiveness, but my gratitude cannot be expressed in words. Thank you for everything.

Lady Knives: For still loving me despite all the stupid mistakes I've made. You'll always be my sweet little angel, darling. I'll always love you, and I'll always be there for you.

Ranarath (previously known as graceful_sheik): Once again, for still loving me despite all of my idiotic mistakes. You're more than I deserve; more than I should be allowed to hope for after all that I've done. From this moment till the day I die, my heart belongs to you alone, my love.

Wow... =D

oh oh, here we go.

DT/Jeeennnnaaa: For being my best buddy, my fellow mistress, one of the few people who will entertain all of my crazy ideas. The person who'll always bring me back to the ground, no matter how far up I've drifted, and then somehow always forgive me for my mistakes. For giving awesome advice. And just...Kariette and Aemilia =D.

James/Future: For loving me, being there for me, and for everything he's taught me about...well, everything. About life. He's made me a much better person. I'm also grateful for... the way he can always make me laugh and smile, even with the stupidest things =]. He's always himself around me, and in turn I feel that I can be myself around him. It's a wonderful feeling. I love our talks of the future (pun o: ).but most of all, I'm grateful for the love between us.

Rain/insaney: For being so damn cool =]. For always trying to cheer me up, even when he needs cheering up himself. For putting up with me and being so forgiving, so modest, so amazing. And for rping with me =D. Thanks for always being there, and always being you.

My parents: Yes. I went there. For bringing me into this world and providing me with everything I need to survive in it.

Also, I am grateful for everyone who has ever forgiven me for one of my many mistakes. Thanks for giving second chances and, sometimes, forgetting.
