Yes, I do find myself forming an image or identity around certain posters. I think that's sort of inevitable, after reading a lot of a certain person's posts you begin to feel like you know them! Like @
Herp, I probably don't post enough to create many impressions, but i'mma share my mine (Which are completely only opinion - you could be the opposite, but this is what I've inferred in my imaginative mind from your posts) because doing this stuff is super duper fun:
@
krentz Amazing vocabulary. Seriously, the range of your vocabulary makes me jealous. Sometimes I'm reading your stuff and I have to do a double take because
I do not know that word. It's frickin' amazing. And I hypothesize that you're also intelligent, thoughtful (You obviously put a lot of thought into what you write, and I love when a person is deliberate and attentive with their words. When you post on a subject you seem to really put a true and accurate part of yourself out in the world for us to see, and that's admirable), and caring. *Sigh* Oh krentz. You're awesome.
@
IAmOrangeToday Gah! I love you. For one you're close to my age and you're just about as considerate, kind, self-aware and thoughtful as some people will never be. You're ahead of your time, dude. I find your level of consideration for others astounding and amazing. You also seem want to become an even better person as well, which is equally remarkable in its rarity. Like @
Herp and @
Luke, I think your attitude is going to make you very successful in the future, and that you're going to grow into an even more amazing person in the years to come. You're so young, and you've already got your priorities straight. I love that.
@
adverseaffects To me, you seem crazy, spontaneous, and passionate. I imagine your life is this never ending run of excitement and intensity. You truly
live with a fierceness and a spirit that not many people can say that they have. I love that you're not afraid to speak your mind, and that you're always super up front with your thoughts and feelings. You also seem imaginative and like you'd be an awesome person to spend a day exploring a city with, or creating art with.
@
ethylester ...okay. Confession: I want to be like you when I grow up. Balanced, grounded, resilient and loving. A mother figure who exudes warmth and understanding. Someone who has been through really tough times, but who's also
survived and has become a more whole person because of it. To me you are wise, mature, and wonderful, strong person who is calm, largely stable and mostly unruffled by the small stuff. Someone who has learned to believe in herself and help others believe in themselves as well.
@
OrangeAppled The way you're able to effortlessly express your thoughts in a way that is both eloquent and intelligent continues to astound me. Like @
krentz, your posts are always thoughtful and deliberate, and like @
ethylester, I want to be like you when I grow up. I envy your writing abilities! You're definitely an individual - unique, insightful, shrewd, and (I think) sophisticated.
@
Geoffrey I love you! The amount of thanks that you've given is just a testament to what a freaking cool person you are. You always have an interesting, valid view on a subject, and you put a lot of effort into your posts. You're super kind, loving, self-aware and wise. Whenever I see your posts or your thanks I'm struck again by what an awesome character you are. Did I tell you that I think you're freaking cool?
And then there are just the passing impressions, like how awesome that it seems like @
dann doesn't give a shit about what people think and is super frank, or how @
Mushroom seems grounded and mature. Whew! Sorry for writing a book over here. Now that I've divulged so much it's kind of embarrassing! Oh well. Love to all you unique, beautiful people. Our community is something special.
