We have a birthday coming up. She's always posting my birthday topics, so--what the hell?--here I am, compensating.
Whose birthday is it, you foolishly ask? Oh, think of a member who never failed to greet you with unbridled enthusiasm that's never faked...
...Never handed newbies a dose of biting sarcasm or insulting remarks when they were asking an innocent question...
...Always gave her sympathy to anyone who was hurting, without responding in a way that questions anyone's courage in a negative manner...
...Always respecting the opinions of others, no matter how stubbornly dogmatic they're expressing them...
...Always kept her cool during events regarding relative disorder and deliberate chaos...
...Never peppered any of her posts with unnecessary profanity, tired innuendo, or inane inside jokes...
...Never gave in to following an internet meme that would seem so asinine in retrospect (as most memes are)...
...Always was modest enough to never look down on others in an attempt to feel superior, not letting her pride blind her from professional courtesy, no matter how much of a pompous blowhard you're being...
...Always willing to share her infectious joy with
everyone, despite your probable, god-awful mood...
...Always replying to others when need be without being rudely AWOL...
...Always smart enough to express her critique on everything
after getting all the facts...
...Never scolding your ass out no matter how stupid you may be acting...
...Always grinning...
...Always hugging...
...Rarely spams (well, to an extent)...
...I am proud to announce the celebration of
Heroine of the Dragon's birthday! What number is this? 345828454th? Ah, who cares. What matters now is that you all give her your best wishes. Do it. NOW.
DO IT. You most likely owe it to her.
As for me, I wish a great birthday for her as well, generally for surviving the internet. As for my gift, here's a comic strip I drew showing how much of a big deal surviving it may be.
Cheers.
