STORMS - COOL OR SCARY? Cool. A couple of weeks ago there was this thunderstorm right above Leiden and it was rumbling so hard.

SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT A PERSON ON THIS BOARD? There's a lot of people here on the board that I can converse okay with. I know I babble a lot, make stupid jokes that no one gets and my English grammar is horrible.
Sigmar: HADB's savior; the only other rowing geek on Ironworks. You're online way too little, mate!!
Azurewolf & Caleb: I miss the stupid but funny conversations we used to have on both Ironworks and MSN.
Hierophant: I was surprised to see you had posted my birthday thread!! [img]smile.gif[/img] We hardly ever talk, but I read your band stories with pleasure; the music is great as well [img]smile.gif[/img]
Cerek: I don't visit CE as much as I like to do, but it always strikes me that you remain calm 99 % of the time when you're debating a 'heated' subject. Kudo's to you man!
Memnoch: Most laidback man I know. How you do end up with all those lovely ladies is a mystery to me. I owe you, Saz (miss him!) and Cloudy a lot for getting me back here.
Ziroc: The man, the legend!! We had some trouble back in my early days, but I'm glad that is behind us now. I admire what you do to keep Ironworks alive and kicking, and it pains my chest that I still haven't bought SoU and HotU and fixed my computer to go online and kick some ass in Undermountain.
Melusine: Heh.. I know we hardly talk nowadays (we used to sometimes [and that's putting it mildly]) but I honestly think you're a top-class lady (am I overdoing it by calling you a lady?!)
Legolas: Leggy, Legocube.. The only one here willing to here me rave on about my game story. You're hardly online anymore, I sure hope your studies are not getting the best of you!
Hiram: Great bloke, too funny! I'm happy for both you and Lady Sedai (hugs) and hope you can squeeze in a little time to post a little every now and then. Cheers mate!
Reeka: We don't chat as much as we used to, but I hope you and Bardan are doing well! *hugs*
Earthdog: Nowhere near Ironworks anymore, but a good friend indeed. I promise to come visit you when I'm in or near Australia, hang in there mate! You're my guru when it comes to computer hardware! HOOAH!
Harkoliar: Don't talk to you that much anymore, but you're cool as hell [img]smile.gif[/img]
