This thread has certainly grown quite a bit. *hehe* Let me add to it's length. This is long.
Me, I'm a lot nicer in person and I rarely meet someone in person who after a few times of chatting doesn't become a friend. I rarely take anything all that seriously. If I sound upset, it doesn't last more than an hour. I'm extremely laid back, almost too laid back. In person I've often been told I remind people of someone who might have been a cop, because I tend to be very protective and can usually see through a person's true intent. o_o yeah, I'm watching you all. XD
Again, some might take what I just wrote seriously.
I know way too many people here, and I truly appreciate those who find me a "mom" figure on CAA. I guess that is natural.
I'll start with my kids in real life and the admin of CAA:
Elric_kun: The most loyal friend I've ever witnessed to kids in real life. He's a very nice man and I love how he treats his sister. A very gifted artist and brilliant person.
Chibi_Chan: As everyone else has commented, she is the super sweetie. I think even E_kun would agree with this. She is truly so nice, a hard worker and also a great artist. She's very smart too.
Ashley: She is so much deeper than I think anyone here would ever believe. She is also so much more vulnerable and deserves great respect. Of course, she's also a nut.
Gypsy: A soft-spoken young lady who desires to find her place in this world - the place where God wants her. She may be too nice at times, but her heart is always in the right place.
Shatterheart: He's a momma's boy! *wap* LOL, I'm kidding. Steve has the quickest wit and he's a loyal friend - also, a very protective person.
UC: He's very honorable and kind. He is always wanting to help one in need. Technically, one of the best writers on CAA.
ShiroiHikari: The quietest young woman I know, and yet the deepest thinker. She loves the Lord and has a deep faith for Him. She is always wondering what is best. Also, she is "coolness" up there with my son, E_kun.
OldPhil: Lucky enough to be married to the wonderful EireWolf.
These are kids that I have a big heart for here on CAA:
Aka-chan: I would never disown you. *hehe* You are a great big sister to my little Chibs. I think you are probably a very responsible young woman who is seen as a big sister to many people in real life, as well. And, you are one of my favorite artists here on CAA.
Madeline: Brilliant and wonderful, randomly funny and so inspiring. You can be one of my kids any day.
Banana-chan: She is a nut! Nah, she is always looking at the bright side and a very positive young lady.
Mangafanatic: She is a spiritually adept teen and another girl I trust to be a big sister to my Chibs. She's also a bit crazy, which makes her so fun.
Kokoro Daisuke: My little Chibs third big sister. Another nutty bishie fan and one who is more mature than I think anyone would realize.
Sunako: My son's partner in crime. She doesn't know how to say "no" at times, but she is really kind.
KisaTohru: I think she really is just like she comes across here. One of the nicest young Christians you'd meet.
Spirit_Wolf: She struggles with life a lot, but God is always there and she considers Him in everything. I know great things are in store for her.
Mr. Smarty Pants: It's hard for me to not like MSP. He makes me laugh all the time when I read his posts. He really seeks approval. >.>;;
Volt: -__- stay away from my daughter.
Hahaha, he is a very funny person and has grown the most spiritually since I first saw him hanging out here on CAA.
Ingemar: IMs me and then forgets he IM'd me.
He is a very smart young man and very creative.
Rachel: A person who needs to be heard. I would love to talk to you more. She teaches me all kinds of neat things and is very creative. She's a great person to get to know.
Icarus: He's responsible and growing into someone wonderful. I think he's extremely smart.
Kesshin: A wonderful young lady who longs to write well. She's so sweet. She's definitely another online daughter to me.
My good friends on CAA:
Mave: She's more like my younger sister and she's my friend. In real life Mave is crazy, fun to be around. She's very smart and is always wanting to grow closer to the Lord. She is one of my fave artists.
EireWolf: We have emailed one another for one and a half years. She is smarter than the average wolf.
~_^ I can always trust her to be honest with me.
Mimichan: She's my writer's group and is never here because it's hard for her to get online. We will always be fellow writers, Lord willing. ^_____^
There are just too many people. I knew I would forget tons of you. Sorry if I didn't mention you. Please let me know and I will say something. ^_^ I think you all are generally great Christian kids who need to be heard and loved and feel appreciated. I think overall, that is probably what comes across the most when I read your posts.
