my tribute to pathetic...

this concept was stolen from aiko, who stole it from... i forgot. anyways, i'm going to tell yall just how much ya mean to me. capiche? capiche.

cymbre dolphay: one of my true, conversive friends here on pathetic. you have left me more comments than anyone else (cept maybe aiko)- and you rawk the casbah completely. no matter what time of day, i always seem to have some PM waiting from you. you are one of the only people i really chat with actively here. have a merry xmas, allright?

aiko scott: goodness, aiko. you just always, always, always have something enchanting in the works, or something so breathtaking that any comment i try to leave would just be understatement. you inspire me to write better things; you make me want to become a better poet. and you're always there, reading and letting me know what's going on with the stuff i'm working on. you are so remarkable, i cant even begin to think about it. i can not think of a pathetic without aiko scott.

paul osterlund: you were the first person who ever went out of thier way to encourage me in my writing; before you were even a member here, you emailed me about it. i still have that email; i remember that i was at the library when i got it. i was floored that you would contact me like that. you never compromise about any of your values (many of which i hold with you), and you're rather like a mirror image of me.

ashley caise: you were another one of those who sought me out. i know you not so much through your poetry; but rather through your great personality and the such. see, i dont remember how our friendship exactly started, but for whatever reason, it did. and i got to reading you, and i just couldnt resist who you were. you rule the world, child.

benjamin christian parmer: you have been my mentor, my guide here at pathetic. i remember way back when, you saw something in me that i just could not see. looking back, i still cant see what the hell you were talking about, but you had faith in me nonetheless. you have inspired me to be the person i want to be; and you have always, always, ALWAYS encouraged me to be that person. i can remember that both my first and second poems of the day were inspired by you somehow; the first being jaded rainbows, one that i wrote after joining the RC; the second being 'trouble with the butter', a poem i wrote after reading one of yours. you never fail my man. if i'm ever in orlando, i better get some free grub!

(ni)cole miller: man, you're so crazy. you were another one of those friends who got with me pre-pathetic. you're just generally a rockin friend; and the times that i've spent with you offline are just rad to the max. your poems are always right there, and i can always find something to suit my mood when i'm reading your stuff. it makes me so happy, you have no idea!

nalani soon: one of my favorites of the 'new generation' pathetic. from the first time i read your application piece, i knew that there was something special about your poetry. everything you write is golden; but still, you insist on making it better. there should be more nalani soon's out there. keep writing, cos i need to keep reading.

alaina schnieder: if i ever need any constructive criticism on this site, you're the person to give it. you make me strive to be better; you're one of a mere few (and about the only one to me) who will actually give honest, constructive criticism. i am a better poet beause of you; your thoughts are insightful, and your criticisms always cause moments of careful reflection. i am glad that you are here as well, child.

caitlin thompson: mon ami, caitlin. you are the reason i write so much. whenever i have written a good love poem, chances are it's because of you. because you make me feel like it's allright to bear my emotions once in a while; i can easily name 10 pieces in my library that i've written about you, and 10 more i havent published. your poetry is exciting, interesting, and amazing. you are my best friend, and you make pathetic just that much better. thank you.

a special thank you to gavin and the rest of the admins; without you guys, this place could not function, this place would not BE. and that is something that i cant really fathom. pathetic has been a huge part of my life for 2 years now. that's longer than any relationship that i've held with a human; and, though we've had our barbs here and there, i still couldnt imagine my life without it. so thank you.

my apologies for omissions and such, but my hands are rather sore at this point. i'll pick this up again later, methinks.... but merry xmas to all!
peace:a
