the (INSERT YOUR NAME HERE) appreciation thread!

-personally, i like myself.

I appreciate the kickass articles and dry sense of humor that Keithed brings to the site!

Awww!!

Ok, I really appreciate unnecessaryz because of the fact that I have kind been slacking off in the whole "hey guy! be clever and sarcastic and make people laugh" column, and he seems to have picked up quite a bit of the slack.

Oh, and I also appreciated RoxyPixie for my own personal reasons.

I like unneccessaryz's question and answer things...

i appreciate everyone for everything

She said "Keithed" damn it! That's not you anymore!

and right now I appreciate that Keith puts up with me.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, y'dig?

I appreciate Maxx for general zaniness and for being so popular amongst the girlies.

I like Flux for starting this very positive thread, and for wearing Converse All Stars in her set.
I love Snow's new set, and her too.
Stiles is cool as hell and I want to thank him for fixing my car and letting me crash at his place.
Jayne is my best friend. I her.
Bailey kicks ass!
You'ld be hard pressed to find someone as cool as Hel.
Except for maybe Destro.
I still think Slinkster is a great person.
Ozymandias is quiet, but truly a good guy.
If I had to pick the nicest SG I have ever met it would be Edea.
Roxy is an angel.
I wish Eris knew how cool I think she is.
Racer_X has an insane dog. It suits him perfectly.
H8tedByYou!
All the West Coast people I have met Lil Tuffy, Coco, Dig Dug, EricAllen, Maxx, Dr_H, HatefulErin, L, O, s5, Tryptamine, DreamMaker, Arik, Azura, Punt, Muller, and PostOp, Siren, Joyrider. My SGNY people Freyja, Luna, BKFreak, Nicole, Issie, Autumn, and BigBabyBrooklyn.
Much love and repsect to all.

i also appreciate Tuffy for making this smilie for me

I appreciate myself everyday...I mean UH...

I appreciate Olivia for not only making this "place" run, but for being brassy (and of course...ultra sexy) enough to pose in a set for us!!

Go O!


j

Some names that don't appear often enough in these threads (a few; I know there are more) ...

I appreciate:

tadzi's wistful honesty, which resembles FreakPirate's somewhat

dorinda's introspection about her inwardness, and wanting to turn it outward

actuallynotyou's frankness about when he gets stung (“I danced, my friend thought I was drunk, and this made me sad …” ); his boldly expressed and understandable terror of Florida

Vim's non-verbose vigor

macbastard's humor and awful spelling, which make me laugh so hard I almost fall off my chair

ButterflyLady's encouragement, her willingness to be fascinated by nature

Moss' often-questioning nature; she asks good questions, and she's funny

That's it for now ...

i appreciate me, cuz otherwise i wouldn't be here.

Yeah. Truthfully I don't know where to start...

Alice - for being naked on the site and getting me to join it and putting up with me biting you while I'm drunk.
FEJ - for always being able to redirect a bittering thread to a happy note again.
Reprobate and s5 - for making the current events boards seem like a fun place. I also trust advice from these 2 possibly a bit too much.
Punt and Muller - for being rockstars. And for comping me at the troubadour even if we missed the show. and for
EricAllen - for being a damn good friend. One of the first people I met off the site and one of the few people I would trust loaning money to.
Dr_H - for having so much street-cred it hurts. Smiles mean a lot from someone who doesn't water them down. Thanks for having more brilliant ideas than a Rube Goldberg invention.
MacBastard - for hooking up an underager with an ID and for such gems as "rapetastic". You already have an appreciation thread so I need not go on.
MisterSatan - for having the highest ratio of friend-level to actual-hang-out-time of anyone in my life. I'd take a bullet for you, buddy...not a moving one or anything though.
Caradoc - for just being you. Still miss you buddy.
Solisis - for coming back. it wasn't the same without you. It was lonely and cold and black...like my heart. You're one of the few people I trust posting all in bold.
HatefulErin - for making comments that even I am scared to make. I've hurt from laughing sometimes.
Poopydave - in the words of Trilobyte "just because you're poopydave." I still love that stupid little dash and snide extra comment you put on all your posts. It's the little things in life.
Olivia - for giving me reason to go into chat. It's lonely when you're not there.
Nic - for being the best thing to come out of England since muffins.
L - for being a rad mofo. I will never forget the days of SM69 or jackass cockblocking. *wistful sigh*
_nicole_ - for making being a bitch to minimalism, underscores and a fear of ketchup all seem cool. (note: Dave_H has contributed to making underscores cool and s5 has contributed to making fear of ketchup cool)
Dave_H - for making SF a welcome second home. And aren't you coming down here tomorrow? Do we get to have gay man sex?
sixsixty - for making gay man sex cool. And for introducing me to Lovage. And for starting the "I sucked maxx's cock" list on my ceiling.
Giga_Geo and BabyBeezer - for once and for all proving that the cute aweome girls hang out with other cute awesome girls. You're both going in my thesis paper on the subject.
Angst - for being the friend I never knew I had. You stood up for me when I didn't even know I needed it. I love you and you had better unlapse soon.
MobProd - for having some of the coolest fucking profile pictures on the site. And for just being indescribably jaguar.
RagingWhore - I already told most of the people on sunset blvd why I appreciate you. I think I'll shutup and be a good kid now.
Elfin - for being undeniably crushable and denying it at every opportunity. Modesty will get you...a really cool boy apparently.
Minimalism - for being a hardcore member. We need more like you. You put together the big events and you give other people reason to do the same.
Joss - for giving me reason to drive an hour south to bumble around at a mall. And for making Jeremy a lucky guy. You two kids make me smile anytime you pass through my thoughts.
Lil_Tuffy - for finding the perfect balance between class-clown posts and site-daddy posts. You are deck and bait and all other such hipster cool words.
Coco - for making Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays exciting for me again.
Al - for making me always check my grammar out of fear of getting yelled at. Oops, did I end a sentence with "at"?
Dreammaker - for helping to spread the word of the all-mighty kilt. Does your girlfriend hate me?
Roxy - For making me clap with glee anytime I hear I get to hang out with you more. And for having your name brand dance that I can scarcely even do a cheap imatation of.
Methoxy - for being my best friend for a damned long time. Still....sorry about your backseat. You should have pulled over faster.
thirtyseven - for running the entire site.


*did I forget you? It's not that I don't love you, it's just that I don't have unlimited time to write this post. I love you all. *

for anyone i miss on here, doesnt mean i dont dig ya. ill probably be back here again.

i dig delilah banks for being one of the sweetest most sensitive people on this site and always trying to make me smile.

i dig mei for sharing her beautiful thoughts with us on a regular basis. reading her journals always elicits an emotion of some kind in me

i dig misstressmissy for putting up with my flirting on a nightly basis and still being sweet to me

i dig purpledaisy for blowing sunshine up my ass constantly which just goes to show what a sweet sensitive caring and lovely (inside and out) person she is

i dig freakpirate for being, in my opinion one of the funniest coolest motherfuckers in this joint.

i dig Kayla because shes testament to the fact that a person can be lovely (and she is) but true beauty comes from a person showing how intellegent, real, funny, sweet, etc they are.

i dig Ophelia for sharing herself with me and letting me share myself with her on several occasions. shes a wonderful person and you should all love her.

i dig Samantha for being the most mature 18 year old ive ever encountered, for making me smile every chance she gets, for seeing things in me i never see in myself, and for having one of the prettiest smiles ive ever seen.

i dig stickyrice for writing the best journal entries, bar none, on this site. im usually so blown away after reading them i cant even think of anythign to say. and the plethora of nice things he has to say to me (my first testimonial came from him) demonstrates a true desire to make people feel good about themselves.


Ill get the rest of you later....

I dig Pyewacket for showing that, when it comes to rocking the fuck out, age ain't nothin' but a numba.

My shouts out to IGOR. for not only turning me onto SG but also the crazy shit that he does (like deep throating hot dogs and talking shit to Howard Stern).

I appreciate:

Alexis, Amitabha, BlondeBabi, Cherie,
Clara, consuela82, delirium_faerie, Drake,
Flux, GunStreetGirl, krista, Linz,
mercy, mistressmissy, Monet, Nemphyl_newPics,
Opahl, rachel, ready_to_go, Scylla,
Seanbaby, shayna, Sorcha, throatneedle,
unnecessaryz, ViolentTortoise, yawfren... and many others...

I feel like I'm giving shout-outs in a rap song... "Yeah, yeah.. S-to-tha-G in tha mutha-fuckin' hi-ouse!"

I appreciate....

All of the kind souls (esp. tadzi) who have posted in my journal, thus pulling me out of my solopsistic reverie. I'm kicking myself for taking so long to figure out that you respond in *the other person's journal*, not your own...

Mei and Voltaire for their fresh perspectives on life

the merry trolls on the boards who keep me laughing...

and, of course,Sean, s5, and the lovely Olivia for keeping all the gears whirring happily.
