That was insulting? IIRC, Tracy said it about the love of his life. I should be insulted like that. \ Instead, I am reduced to soliciting adoration, after noticing that this thread has reached its third page without my being mentioned. Alas! OTOH, if I were more adorable, it might help. I know! I’ll try the Make 'em Guilty ploy, if it’s not too transparent. \*\*I adore all of you! \ \*\* That it allows me to also not name names, with the resulting hurt feelings of those not honored and creepy feeling that they are being stalked by those who are, is purely incidental. ---

I wouldn’t blame you if my mental issues drove you away but…I’ll always be there for you,no matter what. You need to realize just how incredible you are. I’m so lucky to have you in my life and I thank the spirits everyday that I’ve gotten to chance to know you. I can’t imagine my life without you. ---

This is one of the very few times anyone has EVER called me cool, and certainly the most public. That means a great deal to me. By the way, **Nocturne** , you are truly one of the greats, in my not so humble opinion. 🙂 > > I’ll have to let you know about Biloxi, OK? > > And **iampunha** , the same goes for you. Dave, you’re very, very cool. And fun, and . . . eh, remedially cute, I’ll say:) Staying up with me late nights and bitching about whatever (and being my editor and second pair of eyes is nice, too) and humoring me without saying “shut up, you damned whiner” . . . you help me keep what sanity I have left. I don’t have a list, but I do have a memory. You’re permanently in mine. ---

I adore **Quix** because he we share very similar music interests. And I adore **Quix** because he makes me laugh. And he wishes he would’ve seen “Around the Galaxy”. And I adore **Quix** because he thinks I’m smart. And cute. I think he’s blind. 🙂 I adore **Quix** because, when I get that message that says “Quix78 is on IRC”, I get all giggly wondering what he’ll say next. And he’s fine. F-I-N-E, fine. Yep, I adore **Quix**. 🙂 ---

Ok, I know I’ll piss someone off with this by leaving someone off, but since they’re worthy of my adoration, they’ll obviously forgive me (_gulp_ Let’s hope). In no particular order… **Mamahen** , because she’s so somber. Never smiling, always helps me keep my feet on the ground 😉 San Diego, baby! **Gaudere** , this woman once took a Libertarian post and translated it from whatever the hell it was in to English; a daunting task. Plus, most of my current reading list is her doing. **saph** , who lets me be a stalker. Even if I never comment on your LJ, you know I enjoy the hell out of it. Besides, us conservatives gotta stick together [sub]even if I’m secretly a Democrat, shhh[/sub] **Rasa** , one of the few Dopers you can count on to be in chat during the day. And she rocks for so many other reasons. **MrCynical** , aka **Manservant WTF-ever** , for being part of my comedy team (even though I secretly hate him for getting all the booty). **Wood Thrush** , for being one damn smart boy. I mean, honestly, who else knows the real name for a wishbone?? **Max Torque** , because I swear to Zeus he steals my brain sometimes. “Great minds think alike” doesn’t apply for obvious reasons, but it’s still scary. **nocturne** , mi enamorada. She said she’s going to send me a birthday card after knowing me for all of 5 minutes. That’s so cool. **Ad\_Noctum** , even though you scare the hell out of me sometimes, you’re OK. 🙂 **chique** , for giving me inspiration to go to Minnesota (how often do you hear THAT??) **Doobieous** , for showing me something cool I can do with my hair. And, you know, he’s somewhat cool and stuff. **Silver Fire** (even though I’m somewhat mad at her ATM because she got her post in first _grumble_) for being HER. I think the only thing I don’t like about her is how hard she is on herself. The rest… oh yes, I likes. I likes very much. I mean, check out my sig, then tell me she’s not the best. Quix ---

Don’t be mad, **Quix**. It’s just that my adoration was _bursting_ to get out! I’m sorry I posted before you, but I just couldn’t hold it in anymore. I adore you. What else can I say? ---
