and the award goes to.....Follow

I was sitting here the other night and thinking, as I am prone to do every great once in a while, that there should be something for people like Byaina and Nataraja and Yukio who are good selfless people. If I had the gil or some uber item to give them, I would. These are some awesome players and awesome people. They continue to be helpful and fun amidst hideous rate downs. I could not think of anyone that deserved this award more than them...except maybe the person I named it after^^

Byaina, for your selflessness in taking on a huge responsibility of being the organizer of such an awesome event... I present you with this:

Nataraja, for your awesome and thought provoking posts and for you help with the scret santa event (teh ninja hiding skills) and for being an entirely awesome person I present you with this:

Yukio, You a truly awesome person with all of the Pro-Merodi posts and helping to keep a friend emotionally supported and with you continually thought provoking threads... We miss you in Vana'Diel. I present you with this:

As to the person the award was named after: You are the most awesome person I know, even when YOU were feeling down, I got *huggled* and you still tried to make me smile (succeeded too) so, I named what I feel is the greatest award to be held on this server after you. I even tried to create a Galka named "Couch" just for you^_^

Much love to all out there....

Bah. I have done nothing worth any notice.

But so as not to appear entirely ungracious, I thank you for the compliment and award.

Even if I don't feel I deserve it any more than a variety of other people.

*falls over giggling* Okay, that's pretty cool. :D Thank you. I'm beginning to wonder if I complained so much that you felt like you had to throw an award at me to shut me up though. ;)

*clutches statue, sobbing but somehow managing not to ruin her perfect makeup* I'd like to thank the academy... my manager of course... my director, my co-stars... this is so amazing I can't believe it.... *etc*

haha, thats awesome

{Congratulations!}


this truly is the best server, Im glad to be a part of it

*Looks at the lil' statue with a giggle and starts poking at it... *

"Hey, they made a tiny lil' me! Ooooh!"

*Pokes at the statue*

"It's shiny too!"

*Pounces around the statue*

"You think they have a fwuffy version?"

*Looks around*

Ohmigawd, I'm on a stage!

*Pounces off*

"...Oooh... how embarrassing..."



But seriously ^^; garshness almighty, I'm spiffified and peachy keened ta be named after an award. =^^= *Blusshums* Ya'll are so swell ^^

Oniyagi deserves his own reward for being a very congenial fellow. He was always there to give a hello, be a goof and make me smile, always answered my silly questions with grace and good temperament, was patient with me, and is a heckuva husband and father to his family, which he proudly talks about when he gets the chance to.

Golden Merodi Awarded to Oniyagi

Oh Byaina... As Merodi said, when give the opportunity to speak of my family I will, I related this piece of fatherly wisdom that I constantly remind my daughter Cassidy... I do NOT reward whiners. The fact that I had a uber awesome time at the party was my motivation... and that is said.
I greatly appreciate the compliments, they make me smile, which brings me to the reason I do things. I may look like some big, tough, mean, bald (though it is growing out now), redneck *** kicker, I am actually only big (and a bit bald...by choice). I am a HUGE softy, just ask any of Nightfallsfavor or Dawn^^ I do things like the golden merodi award to make you guys smile. THAT is my reward, knowing that I made you smile, if only for a brief instant of a long and tiresome day.. I made you smile... See, my reward is POWER! The power to bring a smile to your lips and a laugh in your heart. Kinda makes me feel invincible..
Oh, yeah, I laughd my *** off at your cosplay pic Yukio... ya'll were soooooo cute^^ Damn, I could've cuddled up and slept in your sock drawer for a week!!! (my utmost respect to whoever actually gets the reference)



Edit: I just actually realized Merodi that you have a the cutest damned avatar I have ever seen.... Holy God... I just want to *huggle* it to death!!! too cute... much.... too... cute...brain... numbing.... can't... stay...awa *thump* Fionchadd falls to the ground *cuteness overload*

^^ I was actually thinking of changing the avatar cause I thought it looked sorta "meh" ^^;

Thankies for that though =^^= it was my first avatar being a mithra kitty that I made for an old forum LS. I will do a new one though, and hopefully it'll look just as spiffy ^^

Hope ya liked the award I made for ya. I think you deserve it much!
