So you write poetry? Your name does sound slightly familiar...have you been around Poets.org or The Critical Poet forums recently?

Anyway, welcome. We need more mature-type people around here. Mostly just dumb twentysomthings and teenagers as far as the eye can see... ;)

Cameron is awesome because:
-Because he has an artistic style that is both complex and minimalist. This is profound!
-He once drew me as a roadrunner. It was an actual honest to god feral roadrunner, but a roadrunner nonetheless!
-He lives in Idaho among the wilderness and stuff and I envy him for that. 3:
-He is probably one of the most personable artists on here.
-I think he's the only one of us on here who drew a fanart that made it as a guest strip on O&M. This is an accomplishment!

It's another way of saying it. It's basically saying that a comment pertained specifically to you.

Anyway welcome to the forum! Have a flameproofing coupon.

It's mandatory that we offer these in case you require the services, click for a printable:

gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

If you mean yourself, I think you're actually older. I also meant that by active members (so not including CrimsonWolf or someone like that)

Baha'i? Cool. I'm not, but I rather like the faith, having studied it intensely for a high school report. Also, my birthday is the same as Abdul-Baha's.
