@ Shorty: I better be the first person you tell if you ever come to P.R!!!!

You will be!

*hugs*

Yes, by quite a bit! But I'm not going to tell you how old I am....

*Steals Matt's rock so he can't hide under it* What she said was true, and I totally agree with all of it.

Amen.

Angelsword is Awesome because...
He adopted me as his little sister!
He relies on God's strength daily
He's a mighty prayer warrior
He's a good listener
He's epic
He has an amazing mom

Angelsoword's mom is Awesome because...
She's a fighter
She raised Angelsword
She writes
She said I feel like family
She's epic
She's an amazing mom

*echoes everything RJ said*
Angelsword is ALSO awesome because (some of these may have been mentioned already) :

He's an open book.
He's honest.
For whatever reason, he thinks I'm epic...
He's very polite.
He loves God.
He's a great listener.
He's having quite a hard time, but he still trusts God through it all.

And so many more reasons, I will never be able to list them all! *epic hugs*
YOU ARE AMAZINGLY EPICALLY AWESOME, AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!!!

Definitely.

Ditto! Angelsword and Luke are awesome!

Brendan, you are awesome because...

You consistently put others before yourself regardless of the situation.
You humbly consider the weight of criticisms brought before you.
You are always ready to encourage.
You seek to follow God in everything you do.
Your faith speaks more than you do.
You're quick to lend a hand (with much thanks from my characters).
You are patient.
You are king of Ireland.
You speak eggroll.
You are an honest and true friend.

Angelsword is, yes.

Amen to all.

Don't forget Luke!

You know, I wish my brain would remember all the people whose awesomeness I need to point out at the same time.
Lady Katharina Mimetes is awesome because:
She is a very good, honest and thorough test reader.
She is kind.
She's fun to talk to.
She's encouraging.

Ira Mordecai Mimetes is awesome because:
He's a great test reader, I love his critiquing style.
He's very nice.
He's honest when something I write is stupid.

Will post more later, Supremeentity11 is awaiting my arrival at his abode...
Oh yeah, he's awesome too.

*was pointed to this*
Thanks for putting up with me.

*scoffs* Putting up with. That's a laugh. Thanks for putting up with my then-horrible writing! Speaking of which, have I sent you more of the rewrite besides the first chapter?
(And don't worry, I never even knew Ciela mentioned me on the I'd Like to Thank thread until forever later. And Mist had to point me to the posts about me on here.)

Brendan is awesome.

Because I love his accent, or whatever it is...
Because he seeks God, always, and works for Him, even when sick.
Because he'll talk for hours on the phone.
Because in the same conversation he'll call me, basically, a heretic, and his brother.
Because he has faith. And wisdom. And is such a good counselor.
Because he's the 10th Doctor. And being Matt Smith, I love my David Tennent.
Because he cares.
Because he has the epic-est fantasy world of all time.

Agreed. Brendan is most definitely awesome.

E is awesome because....

She's E.
She mulls things over in her brain, instead of just spouting something off.
She is writing her epic book.
She humors my Iri fascination.
She is patient with me when I don't get to editing things like I should.
She patterned a villain after me.
She's a great friend.
She's epic.
She lets me eat lots of brownies.
She is an unsung hero of HW.

Love you, E.

DITTO!

*summons E *

It happened!

I talked about Matt back then, but I know him much better now, so I shall do him again.

Matt, you are awesome because you are a kind and loving friend and little brother. You are passionate about your beliefs and about your God, and it shows. You care deeply about people, you are always ready to help, and you write and play piano just beautifully. You are awesome because you are YOU.

And a new one... Lycanis/Jeremiah!

Jeremiah, you are awesome because...

1. You are kind
2. You are a lot of fun to chat with
3. You are encouraging
4. You are one of my most faithful website commenters
5. You are now my little brother!
6. You like theology
7. You are an enthusiastic member of the HW community
8. You love God, and it shows.

*needs to do more soon*

You're very welcome, Nicoley dear.

Thankyou, Nicole! This really blessed me. *hugs* You're awesome! I really enjoyed chatting with you briefly last night.

Thank you.

Amen.

... Thank you, so so much, Grace.

You are awesome for some of the same reasons.

1. You are kind
2. You are fun to chat with
3. You are encouraging
4. You are an awesome Christian influence on me and (I'm more than sure) others on HW, not to mention your family and others you are around in person
5. You like theology too
6. You love God and it's impossible to miss
7. You adopted ME!!! ... I suppose that's a selfish reason, huh?
8. You are an awesome friend

=D *must revisit this topic later on*

You're very welcome.

Jeremiah, you didn't. I don't feel I deserve most of that, but I thank you for it.

(And no, being adopted is not a selfish reason... being adopted is awesome and wonderful. I know from experience. )

You deserve more...God's using you a lot.
And the fact that you don't feel like you deserve those compliments is a sign of maturity, I believe, and therefore yet more awesomeness (I'm serious).


Okay good. I agree.

Why you're awesome, Ani:
1) You're a good big sister.
2) You're a good role model, but you're friendly and down-to-earth.
3) Our chats always encourage me.
4) You give good advice.
5) You're a daughter of the King.
6) You have standards and you follow them.
7) You published a book.
8) You have a nice blog.
9) You're a great HRM.
10) The way you call me your little sis makes me feel special.
11) Seeing your name in the chat list makes me smile.
12) You're thoughtful.

I second that!

I third that...except she doesn't call me her "little sis" and I'm grateful for that.

Batman/Matt:

1. You are an amazing writer
2. You make me laugh
3. You are an amazing musician
4. You're coming out of your way to visit me
5. You're just plain awesome.

Thank you, my Elly little sis. *hugs* You are awesome because you are a sweet young lady of purity, who cares about everyone, shows shining maturity and has a cheerful spirit for Jesus. I love you.

*smiles at Za*

*rolls eyes at Jeremiah*

*agrees with Milly about Matt*

Thank you, Nicole. You’re awesome because...
- You are always nice to everyone.
- You reach out to those around you.
- Your love for God shows clearly.
- You are fun to chat with.

Froggy/Luke/Kermit/Batman/Matt, I have been procrastinating on this post for a while because I simply didn't think I could list all the reasons why you are awesome. But I'm going to give it a go.
*takes a deep breath*
*cracks knuckles*

1. You are an awesome writer. Don't ever underestimate yourself.

2. On top of that, you took some time out of your busy schedule to critique a chapter for me, and give me writing tips. This changed my writing drastically. I was frustrated because it made me realize that I am going to need to rewrite all the stuff I had written before you got to me, but that was drowned in my gratefulness for the improvement caused in my writing because of you.

3. Even when you're feeling down yourself, you always listen to me rant, rave, and whine about my own problems, even when you don't know what to say. You don't know how much of a blessing this is to me.

4. Not to mention your skill with music (I every time She Has Wings plays when my iPod is on shuffle, and fangirl about it to anyone who happens to be nearby).

5. You're hilarious. I laugh so hard that I scare people when I watch your Odd Brothers show.

6. You really care about how I'm doing.

I love you in a totally non-romantic, non-creepy way.

Thank you for this, Jonathan. It was a blessing to me to find it here.

It's all so true, Nicoley dear. Love ya!

Don't be shy, Matt.

But I AM! I can't just...not be me.

That's like telling a fish not to swim.
Although there are flying fish, which are considerably more epic...
Matt, you're a flying fish.

Yes! I've always loved flying fish, ever since I was very young. I would check out tons of books about animals from the library and read them for fun. Ever since I was four.

Waaaait a minute...are you trying to say I'm special?

Matthew Lauser, you are special and you will LIKE it. I don't want to hear another word about you not being special. Now, you know big sisters are always right. *nods emphatically* *gives cookies*
