*Takes a deep breath and rolls up her sleeves.*
These lists are always a lot of fun, but unfortunately, there's always the risk that some people will feel left out or hurt.
I would like to nominate everyone in our awesome CC Regulars (regular posters) crowd.
However, there are many people I'd like to name individually...
I also like to throw in a few personal jokes when I talk about why I'd want to nominate someone, so I hope no one is offended by who I list or the reasons I give. I know I'm going to accidentally forget people without meaning to, so please accept my apologies in advance.
And so, without further ado...
*
Toinena: well of course, I have to mention the First Lady of this thread.
For always being gracious, honest, courageous, and, most meaningful to me personally, is ALWAYS inspirational.
*
Notmyown: the best thing she could ever call you is one of her "wretched" children, because for her, "wretched" is a code word that actually means, "highly beloved."
*
AbigailZeke: because her energy, enthusiasm, and open heart are contagious.
*
Pipp: because she listens to all my rants... no matter what they're about... and anyone who does that definitely deserves an award. She is also one of THE most loving people I have ever met, even to people who do wrong to her.
*
Lynx (of course!): for putting up with all the times he is (falsely) accused of being my boyfriend!
*
Yahweh is Gracious: for honesty. I don't think I even need to say anymore.
*
Tommy379 and Susanna: for having some of the most razor-sharp wit I've seen on the forum.
*
Hellooo: for inspiring me to really pick up and get out there and just LIVE life to the fullest.
*
Tourist and JesusLives: for always being kind to people, and always offering a helping hand.
*
SweetmorningDew: I'm pretty sure that her name should actually be "SweetMorningSunshine."
*
Cinder, Dino, Lady Magenta, Yereza Bats: for always having some of the most thought-provoking and informative posts around. And, another kudo to Lady Magenta for all the beautiful pictures she posts!
*
Tinuviel, Demi, Temporary Circumstance, EmilyNats: I hope that I'll be even half as smart as you ladies all are when I grow up.
*
chickwithsticks: for always having a great "yarn" to tell.
*
Popclick: for stepping out of the looking glass and becoming a part of my real life... and, just for being such an awesome person.
*
Conversationand: for sometimes pointing out something I missed that absolutely renders me speechless. ANYONE who can do that deserves a medal!
*
Zeroturbulence: for being crazy enough to stick around on this forum as long as I have. (Although, I'm pretty sure that Miss
AlaynaJ takes the cake over any of us!)
*
Jennie Mae: for being my favorite Southern belle.
*
NoNameMcGee: for being proof that God still turns lives around. Oh, and for believing that I actually have a legitimate job!
By the way... I'm still standing in line...
*
EarnestQ: for making posts that really make me contemplate some of the things I have taken for granted in my life, and vow to work harder at appreciating them.
Whew...
Ok folks, I'm sorry, but my brain is even emptier than normal
, so I shall stop for now. I'm so sorry to the people that I must have missed... but perhaps I shall return later on down the line in order to go a second round!
Take care and God bless. <3
