You are so cool you dont even know it.
Your posts are FULL of progressive ideas.
(Everything you are into screams "progress!")
They give a perfume of integrity, intelligence,
studiousness, energy, idealism, curiosity, and sensitivity.

PeaceAngel,

A "dag"?

Wassat?

You are super witty,
playful and insightful.
And you show the most
fascinating restraint.
I'm sure, if I knew you better,
I'd only find more treasures,
but these few things alone
make you "cool beans",
in my book.

(And you know its gonna be a bestseller.)

It's just that, well, it's just...... oh, see for yourselves:

It's nice to know that for everyone who thinks you're an idiot, there's another who thinks you're an eejit. It means a lot.

You all help me see the world in a really beautiful way, but you also let me see myself too. It really means a great deal to me. Thank you.

your Vader and Eggo post cracked me up.

Youre a beautiful person PA. You should get out of those Godzala threads more often.
Come out and bless the rest of us with your presence.

A peaceangel homage party? Okay, I'll put my two cents worth in.

You know I think your the best aussie hornbag in town.

There's a reason why they took the 2 cent coin out of the circulating Australian currency.

PS - here's the pic I promised you of us at last weekend's do.

i didnt mean to start a whole production,
with vaders and eggos and all the fixins.

i just wanted to express spontaneously
a simple and positive thing i felt.

PA said, Sometimes all we want is for people
to see us, just once, the way we see ourselves.

I thought that was pretty sharp.

And, maybe, for a moment,
I saw her the way she sees herself.

I know, I know, but PA's one of them nice whales that has all the pilot fish trailing alongside, nibbling her and that.

Where she goes, the vaders and eggos will follow. Tis the Word of the Lord. She loves a fixin also.

A lot of the things you write, your questions and the things you say about yourself, I can see myself in you.

The things in this thread that you have said, and that everyone here has said, makes me feel like you see me for who I want to be. Sometimes there's a big gap between who we are and who we want to be. And sometimes that bridge isn't so wide, but you just can't see it and other people come in and give a guiding light - showing you yourself. And other times you just see yourself reflected in the people around you.

I think there's always an inner part of us that holds certain perceptions of ourself and certain qualities or abilities that we possess or display, and there's that inner self-doubt that isn't sure if that's how you are or it's wishful thinking/self-delusion. So when people come back and give you a perception of a part of yourself that you had hoped could be seen of you or that is a part of you - it's so deeply personal - there's magic in that - and it means a lot.
