Wow. You guys have put up with me for a whole year. Okay, so my anniversary is really on Wednesday. Close enough. I'd forget if I put it off any longer.
Anyway, this is going to sound so incredibly crazy, but I was a different person when I joined this site. I couldn't make a graphic to save my life. I probably chatspoke. I didn't read over details very well (eh, I guess that's stayed the same). And most of all, I wasn't that fond of the internet. I had bad experiences with it. But I feel like a different person now. I can make halfway decent graphics. I almost always use punctuation and write 'you' as 'you' and not 'u'. I'll skip the details part as I haven't really changed there. And I'm glad I gave the ol' net another chance.
So many people have helped me to become who I am today. Though everyone makes up the PPT community, which as a whole helped me, a few people really stood out and really did some serious changing.
To DM was on fire!- If it weren't for you, I never would of started making graphics. You gave me tips to do things in the only program I had, and you never faltered in giving advice when I needed it. You've always helped me out in whatever kind of jam I was in, and I will never forget you for that.
To Jill and Paul (Xerai)- You guys are really lovely people. I'm really sorry we spent so much time hating each other that we never got around to talking. To the both of you, I really enjoy the time we talk now and I'm sorry I wasted so much of it before.
To Apricus- You've stood up for me so many times I can't count. If I ever needed something from you, you were there. You are such a unique person. If anyone tries to put you down, slap them for me. You're one of the most awesome people I have ever met, online or off. I enjoy talking to you so much and my mood always brightens a bit when you sign on AIM.
To Chass (Sapphire Faerie)- What can I say about you? You've changed who I am in so many ways. Before I met you, I was just another old member, not having very many friends. You introduced me to a whole lot of people and stood up for me when some of them tried to put me down. I've made up with those people now, but still- I would of never even gotten a chance to know them if it weren't for you. I love talking to you, Chass, and you've always been there when I needed you. And you know what? One 't' is better than two.
To Steven (bno)- You're just like Tidds/Rissa/Apricus in the way that you're original. You're quite an interesting person to talk to.
To Ayse (Destiny)- Ooh, you're so cool! If I even MENTIONED having a problem with something, you were there to save the day. The other day, if you hadn't helped me with animation on that certain graphic, two hours of my time would of been completely wasted. Not to mention when you always came to the rescue if I needed the background or something erased on an image. But not graphics-wise, you've been a great friend. Always catching me when I fall down.
By the way, your hair is fabulous. :-P
To Cae- I've always wanted to be a writer for PI. I tried so many times until finally you let me in. And PI itself made me a better writer and person. I think you really opened my eyes to some errors in my writing and gave me compliments when I did something right. Thanks for that, Cae.
To Tymaporer- No matter what you think, you can't say no one likes you. Because I do. You are too cool of a person to not like. And all those people who don't like you are just jealous of your fabulousity.
To Jellyoflight- You're cool. There isn't anything more to say.
To Igg- You're funny, you're a great mod, and most of all you're a great person. Never once have you ever been mean to me, even when I may of deserved it. Keep on rocking.
To Chibs (Koku)- You're another person that stood up for me when I needed it. You are awesome at graphics and never said no when I asked for favors. I can only wish to be as awesome as you are one day, but I don't even think that's possible.
To the entire PPT community Just because you weren't a close online friend of mine, you as a whole formed the new Dawn. Most of you have done good for me in the past and more of you will probably do so in the future. Because you all rock. You rock so much that boulders are afraid of you. Haha. Funny Dawn. Anyway, thanks for all you've done for me. Much love.
And there ends the gushy parts. Thanks for all you've done for me, and I hope to be here another year. *passes out cake*
As to the cake, Ayse (Destiny) wanted some. And good people get good food. Huzzah.
