SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT A PERSON ON THIS BOARD?
I hate singling people out, but everyone is saying that so I thought I *would* single people out that deserve it. LadyZekke is a very sweet person, as is Moiraine. I think they're brilliant. Aaron, while of course being incredibly manly and attractive (happy now? [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) is a very sweet guy whose sense of humour always pulls me through rough spots. And Donut has made me laugh more times than I can remember. And I hope Wolfie is doing well, he deserves a bit of happiness. And I miss Vasky and Groj as co-admins and hope they're doing OK since I consider them to be really cool persons. And now I have to stop because there are loads more people on here that I've grown to love and I can't name them all.
