Wake up call...short N sweet
Tuesday, March 11, 2003 by Angel_Wings | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Geez. This is my big "THANK YOU" to the admins here...
I never knew the extent that WC was involved with so many 'big wigs' and I always felt secure in this happy little WC 'community' without knowing the extent and amazing REACH that Stardock now has.
When I first came here...I felt like a little pea sharing a pod with fellow members...not understanding the full impact...DUH.
I hope some of you 'high ups' have noticed that I have curtailed my threads as well as posts by quite a bit.
I respect so many of you Admins...
Karmagirl
Paxx
BoXXi
Jafo
Koasati
DavidK
I know I left out too many
Anyway, I just want to let you know that I DO respect and appreciate what you all do here for this site.
What have I gotten from you?
Karmagirl:...The sweet yet stern one...she says it straight from the hip and doesn't hold back...good woman!
Paxx: Can be almost cruel with his stern points of view but he's always right on the money...no holds barred and a decent and good, caring individual when all is said and done.
BoXXi...Where do I begin? Heart of gold from the getgo... Someone whom made me feel special and encouraged my art...from day one...A keen eye...an artist's soul...pure gentlemen through and through.
Jafo...the spellchecker champion! But I look at Jafo with much love in my heart for he does a 'service' by keeping us in check. There were many times I saw improper grammar and Jafo caught it and it was like, YES! Touch down! Because, Jafo is not just being a critical person, he's really TEACHING people by what he does! Teaching can be subliminal that way...you point it out..."OOPS" and you are careful to remember next time. (hopefully)!
Koasati, I liked you from day one even before you were an admin. You have a good and decent heart and you well deserve your new status.
DavidK, I regret getting pissy with you when I was feeling low. You are a good and decent person and you were instrumental in bringing my sorry @ss back here…I’d hug you…but I never got the impression that you care for them so I won’t burden you with my hug.
Lastly…but firstly… Frogboy…Brad…You have been forgiving and good to me…and instrumental in helping keep my chin up when I’ve felt so down… You tell me to ignore…but I can’t ignore…especially good and DECENT folk like you… And I DO take words to heart…because behind those word is a human being thinking and feeling those things.
Just as…I am thinking and feeling these things towards you…and you may not like them…but I am more than just an ‘inanimate’ bunch of text on a screen… I am real, living, breathing flesh and emotions…
WC reminds me of the movie “A league of their own” with Tom Hanks as the manager of a female baseball team…My favorite quote in that movie was when Tom hanks was saying, “There’s NO crying in baseball!”
I can hear paxx saying to me…”There’s NO crying in skinning!”
…hehe
Don’t forget a human with flesh and blood and pain and hurts and foibles writes this…I may appear on your screen as type…but there is a heart, soul, and mind behind it.
Love,
Ela

hehe warts? well I figured you were into modeling 
and once you got eyes on you your stuck so that goes w/ the teritory (specially w/ a porfolio online?) ppl have no respect for things in real life and on line it is only worse. but try not to let everything get to you so badly (and if you have not left for good by now, you ain't going anywhere) hehe
Take care, I just was glad to see you back too, I never know exactly what is going on w/ you but glad you came back

Angela: Thank you for the kind words about me, though I don't think I deserve that much praise.
I really do like your art, and I think you have lots of potential to be right up there with the "big boys".
Although I don't really get involved in the "huggy kissy" type threads (not my scene), I understand that lots of people on this board really appreciate you and your big, big heart. You are a true character, full of spirit. I hope to watch you grow into a full fledged artist and skinner.
BoXXi runs before Angela gets huggy and kissy again>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Shmoopy* is Wiccan...so if that bothers you...I'm just lettin' ya know in advance. "
Wiccan, isn't that such a 'nature religion'? Don't know much about it, only some little things, its with the law of 3 not?

Damn that weed must be pretty good...
You need to pass some of that over here my way...
On a serious note, the Stardock crew and all the skinning folks make up one hell of a community. It's nice to know places like this exist...

yeah Styl I was wondering what is Wiccan too! but afraid to ask her... hehe
I myself don't know what to call my religion but I think the closest would be Christian, cuz I never seem to conform to group behaviour, however I'm fully aware when I walk along the path w/ my Heavenly Father and when I'm not and I make no excuses when I'm not. (currently not)
but I googled that Wiccan it seems some links say a sort of religion some say a sort of Witchcraft? now me is curious what it is exactly?

Thank you Shmoopy.
We wouldn't be doing it if we didn't enjoy it, we we don't have much merit anyway. We're just very lucky to have the priviledge of doing something we like.
And XOrb: I ain't with no Stardock crew. Just a humble admin on Wincustomize.

Shmoopy:"Karmagirl:...The sweet yet stern one...she says it straight from the hip and doesn't hold back...good woman!"
I'm glad to hear that you see me that way (and I hope others do to). I have always tried to let people know where I stand with them (and with everything). It's hard to do, because you will eventually make somebody mad at me. But, on the other side, I feel that my friends are my friends because of the real me.
Wiccan, eh? I descended from witches (Mary Este and Rebecca Nurse, who you can read about in the Crucible, and who also have a museum made out of their house.) they were both originally "Towne" sisters. Towne is my maiden name. Was a bit freaked out when I read about them in my family history. Odd to see people in your family tree that have "hanged for witchcraft" after their name.
It's funny, but I have always lived my life with the belief that everything you do comes back to you. Kinda' like the Wiccan belief of "What ye send returns three times over". I've also always been a very "earthy" person. I guess maybe it's in my blood

Don't worry Angela, if they still hung people for Witchcraft, you'd probably one of the first among us to go. And I mean that as a compliment!

I thought so, but wasn't sure, since Shmoopy says she's a Wiccan. Could go either way.

Koasati...how can I not like you? You're one of my few Jasc Paintshop Pro Allies!
SuperheroCanadian! Fly over here and rescue me! hehe!
Angel_Wings needs her sleep!
BUT...I meant every word I wrote here... Even when I've felt saddened or wronged I've oft been reassured by enough people here to want to stay and I've made my share of stupid mistakes... I think as long as I live I will always know 'growing pains' at least...so long as I want to keep growing and learning.
G'night WC!
