Wake up call...short N sweet

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

/me truly does not feel that way !! I find you to be quite genuine of heart !! Your only downfall is that you are a very sensitive person and take everything so easily to heart.

It is a cruel world out there!!! You have to get a little thick skinned to survive.
/me firmly believes this and it is part of her philosophy of life

/me gets upset and then her compassion button kicks in and she remembers "we're all in this together" and she gets over it pretty quick-like.

The only thing I DON'T like about human interaction on the internet is when its treated as though it's somehow separate from human...

Here is your picture...you uploaded it once and now I will violate for eternity for uploading said pic.

I've been a victim of continual copyright violations but I don't have the kind of money it takes to go after the people who violate me...and they DO... They put my 'clean' modeling images with "porno" as if I'm no different...and I've been fighting this ever since I got into the modeling business and dared to have my portfolio online.

I truly regret ever showing my face online in many respects...even though now I know better how to protect my images...the 'fetish freaks' still haunt me...I stil 'police them' and I am still afraid of them.

I sometimes wonder if people see me as a jerk, coz I have a tendency to be blunt............. Thanx for the kind words, Shmoopy.

Crissy, you're such a sweetie, thanky for the kind words!

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!

/me 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!

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.

/me 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?
