In the spirit of zen and balance, I'm starting a new forum game to go with
the Squid Roast and Feral Fry .
In these games, the object is to say the nicest things you can about
people. It works better if they're true and original.
Rules are similar to the Roasts:
1) They can't protest or say you're full of shit - they have to accept the
compliments
2) Whoever says the nicest things is next
Since it's MRD's birthday, I think it's appropriate for her to be first.
Plus, it's really easy to say nice things about her. Go to it

Oh, this is so easy.
MRD, you have this wonderful habit of thinking before you speak. I can't
recall one time that you have ever sounded off without it sounding like it
was was something you had devoted an amount of time to. You have a sense of
humor that is apparent throughout, and you are willing to listen to what
other people say.
You have this adorable punky look that is always a pleasure to see posted,
and you are always giving us something new.
And I hope your birthday is fucking fantastic!

YOu are a lot smarter than you let yourself believe.
You are alot braver and saner that you pretend to be.
You are alot more giving than you fear you are.
You have a lot more to teach that you think you do.
You are coping with teenagerdom better than you will give yourself credit
for doing.
You have taste in music, clothing, philosophies, friends, and dreams.
(tangent: most people would have said "good taste", but then most people
have no "taste" i.e. the ablilty to discriminate on the basis of person
likes and dislikes chosen and cultivated over time. end tangent)
You know how to get the most joy out of you day that you can, and this is a
rare and wonderful gift to have.

Well, first of all, you are a Sagittarius, and everyone knows that people
born under the sign of the Archer are naturally awesome. *grin*
Every time I encounter you, you are always warm, sweet, and friendly. I
get the feeling that you are the kind of person we'd all like to have as a
close friend, and that you are the kind of person that is worth getting to
know better. You are a person that has inner, unnamed, beautiful qualities
that add sparkle to the natural beauty that you already have.
Now that the polish has been spread, I hope you had a great birthday and
got what you wished for.

MRD, You're sweet, beautiful, smart and refreshingly direct about things.
You are flirty and fun, you always look like you are having a great time in
every picture I've seen of you. You're an altogether nice person, I have
never seen you get mean or catty about anything. You're the kind of girl
everyone wants to be friends with, to hang out and run around with, because
wherever you are, that's where the good times are. You shine like a new
penny. It was a wonderful day you came here to grace us with your brilliant
presence. I'm so glad you're here.

You've got brains, beauty, and wit. Not only that, you have wisdom that
dominates wit. Rarely do I see you having negative things to say about
anyone. You give me the image of a girl who is always smiling and shine
like a bright star. People like you dispel the myth of "all blonds being
dumb" in all aspects that I can see. Two things I notice about you, unlike
many of our age, is this: respect and maturity; some people, including
people older than us, just do not show those traits anymore. You do not
have to be a star of sort (though I'm sure many of shmenglings think of you
as one, lol), an 80 pound model, or anything else to show any quality...you
simply stand out by just being you.
All in all, you show your layers...you have layers. No one is anything
without their layers and I'm not just talking about the skin on the bones.
*pant, pant* Long story cut short, you're sweet...like strawberries
(haven't tasted you so I cannot say so literally, lol).
*bow*
Brightest blessings,
Anya
PS: My last comment sounds wrong...oh well, lol. Hope it can be cute in
its own way...

Nobody's trying very hard. Let me try.
1) MRD is lucid, she thinks very clearly, and knows what's going on
around her. She can read people and can see the real meaning behind the
things they do.
2) She knows the difference between what she thinks, what she believes,
and what she knows. She also knows the difference between what other
people believe, think, and know - even if they aren't aware of it.
3) She knows who she is (even more than she thinks she does). And
she knows what she needs to do to learn that better. She also knows that
she is multifaceted and isn't just one way all the time. She knows who each
of those parts are on their own, and how they fit together.
4) She's not afraid to admit when she's wrong - and she can admit it
to herself as well as others. She can laugh about it later, and even joke
and genuinely laugh about how amazingly wrong she was.
5) She knows when to talk and when to listen. She also knows when to
pay attention, and when she should be payed attention to - and doesn't get
any of those mixed up. More importantly though, she knows HOW to talk and
HOW to listen. She's direct, doesn't talk about bullshit, just gets right
to the point. She'll also surprise you by remembering an important detail
of something you barely mentioned in passing a year ago.
6) She does stupid things and learns from them. She doesn't try to
hide from them or cover them up, and she doesn't do them again.
7) She is very observant - she knows what is going on with other
people, what they need, and when and how to give it to them. She doesn't
miss much, and even things she doesn't quite understand, she'll file away
for later until they make sense and she can apply them.
8) She has a life - meaning real worries and feelings - she doesn't
make up high school drama just so she can feel something - and she never
has any need to use drama with other people to entertain her.
9) She has standards and priorities - she knows exactly what she
wants (from life, from relationships, from people), and exactly how
important it is to her - how many people know all of that at 18 (or at
90)?
10) She has VIBE. Lots of yummy vibe. She knows how to move it
around, how to share it, and who it's safe to share it with. She knows
what spiritual stuff feels like and hasn't let her christian upbringing
confuse her about it.
11) She can seperate her likes and dislikes from her core
personality - and she can seperate other people's likes and dislikes
from their core personalities even if they can't do it themselves.
12) She can live by example. She doesn't have to make mistakes
herself. She can watch other people making them and learn from them. This
was the first thing that really impressed me about her, and she hasn't
stopped surprising or impressing me with how well she can do it
13) She can be herself, and can re-evaluate herself as the need
arises - even around people with very strong personalities who make
other people change their personality to match, she is always just straight
up herself. Another important, but subtle thing is that she can stop being
herself when it's inappropriate or dangerous to be the kind of person she
is - but snap right back to normal when it's time. Notice how she doesn't
post pictures of herself trying to be all gawth - and doesn't try to change
herself at all to fit in - she just assumes that she will be accepted (and
she is), even by people very different from her - that's very rare, even
for people much older than her.
14) She has huge charisma and it's all hers. She is totally fun,
and friendly and everyone just instantly likes her. Not only is there no
reason not to, but you can't avoid it. She sparkles like a proper
saggittarius, and everyone loves her company
15) Everything about her is DAMM sexy. She's gorgeous, she's photogenic,
she looks great on webcam, she sounds adorable on the phone, she flirts
extremely well, and she has no attitude about it.
16) She knows how to be the right kind of friend - whether you're in a good
mood or bad mood, and even if things aren't going so good - and she knows
what loyalty means - everyone wishes they had more friends like her
17) She isn't draining at all, no matter how much attention she needs, you
never feel like she's wanting too much. Even if you've just spent hours
cheering her up, you always go away from it with more energy then you
started with
18) <-- She's 18. Which means she's now legal. Which means she can be
flirted with mercilessly without me feeling like an old perv.
There we go - 18 good reasons why MRD rocks and is cool as fuck. That was
way too easy
I could prolly think of another 18 off the top of my head.
P.S. callei nailed it too - and she's way more eloquent than me at the
moment.

(Damn I had the same idea! I saw that before!)
His Devinity cheated! His Devinity cheated! Boooo! Booooo!
OK. At least I talked to MRD once or twice...
MRD, your soul shines. It shines so much a part of that light just escapes
and becomes terrenal. Part of that light is manifested in your physical
self: you are as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside, and I
don't just mean that beautiful body you have. nor the golden waterfall in
which you are constantly submerged. No it's more than that. It's even more
than the obvious sparkle of your pupils, those black translucent mirrors to
your soul that as a release valve, letting some of that light flow away
from your spirit and bewitching anybody lucky enough as to see himself
reflected on those eys of yours. Your smile, your demeanour, your
countenance, the proud tilt of your head... As beautiful and attractive all
these things can be they are just just a shadow, a mere reflection of your
true inner beauty. If the Miss America jury was sensitive at all they just
wouldn't allow your entrance in such a contest for fear of discouraging
future contestants - for, whose's soul could compare to yours?
You have a mixture of strength and weakness that is absolutely compelling.
You have the gift of drawing from people the best thing in them so they
want to assist you and protect you whenever you feel sad - and at the same
time you have the strength to be there when you are needed. When you are
sad it's like a gray storm covers your eyes, with clouds made out of lead
that make your eyelids heavy and closing. And yet when you do smile your
spirit breaks free again, just for an instant, and it's like a glorious
ray of light has pierced the somber skies, shining with the promise of a
warm and joyful day behind the clouds.
And, let me tell all those who might be reading this, it's hard to resist
the want of getting lost in the drappings of your beauty, not to succumb to
the wish to wander aimlessly in your wordly beauties and gifts - your
intelligence, your humour, your tenderness, your caring, and all those
things that I can't wrte about least I devout my entire life to the task-
and so be able to begin to describe a hint of the glimpse I got of what you
truly are.

*Rolls around all glowy* Oh my goodness! You are all the sweetest people
on the face of the planet. Every kind word from every person means so very
much to me. I absolutely love you all! *HUGS FOR YOU ALL* This is such
good karma for you!

But isn't your presence not good Karma enough? Your actions, by being
here, after all, is such a pleasure...such a grace. *snickers and stops
before she gets too into sweet-talking*
No need to thank me for my words...for they are what I observe of you.

I don't know MRD very well nor am I good at giving compliments but from
what little I've spoken to her she is very enthusiastic and sees the world
in a unique way. I see a lot of willpower in her. I furthermore have
found that while many of us (myself by no exception) are quick to spit
poison, MRD is extremely accepting of others despite their differences, an
ability I truly envy.
