The Person Above you... [Archive] - Literature Network Forums

Ok kids, here's another great way to boost your post counts, for those of you addicted to the forae and love to see your name in lights... :P :D

The point of this is... you have to say something kind/flattering or something you've come to know of the poster above you. A way of getting to know each other around here too. Tho' this entails you've been taking notes, actually paying attention to the people you've seen posting and what they have to say. I'll start it off with an imaginary post by Dyrwen above me...

Dyrwen is really quite poetic and creative and he has a great website with lots of images and stuff and you should check him out!

(So, now of course the next poster here will have to post something about me... :P as you can't write something about yourself... )

Den is my pastey-white neighbor to the North. I love her taste in fashion. Once, I laughed at her black turtle necks until she told me they were 100% Badafucho (sp?) fiber. Now she's an idol of status. . . .

[Question: could I respond later and get more compliments? :D ]

den

10-11-2003, 01:38 PM

You want more compliments? :P You can post as many times as you want silly ;) ! ... and with that, I know Abdo is really downright sweet and kind, he likes to be ascerbic and ironic to confuse and get debates going sometimes, but don't worry, he has soft underbelly just like the rest of us. :)

(oh, and I don't know what the hell `Badafucho' is but I prefer mohair sweaters, black of course. :P )

[You can just call me 'sweetheart' from now on, mmkay? :rolleyes: ]

Den is like créme brulee: one side is dark and hardened, but the other is cool and sweet. ;)

The Duality of Den: yes, that one goes out to all you Jungian-obsessed beatniks (Rotty :D ).

Awww I just can't get enough of reading Abdo's posts ...as I said somewhere else, he'd make anything from wasted paper to a grain of sand (identical to all his grain-brothers) sound interesting

Koa is Italian and very passionate about Russian lit and writes lovely poetry. Very technical too, if only I could too. :oops: :D

Munro

Even though I first thought he was a woman when he first started posting, Abdo is 'the man'. He is the most educated American I know, and I didn't think people like him existed in this world. He has good taste in music and television. He completely changed the way these forums work just by joining us, making it a much more casual, friendly, funnier but still 'intellectual' and literary atmosphere. He was like the Eminem of the forums, and for a long time, no one knew what to think of him, because he was weird, insulting, yet his knowledge appeared to be very broad. He contructs all of his posts in a clear, entertaining way, and always writes intelligently, and so now he's become much loved, by the looks of it.

Now I want to be complimented. I was coming home from a play rehearsal this morning, which I turned up to an hour early and left before it even started, and I was listening to that White Stripes song, 'Same Boy You've Always Known', and the last words were "If there's ever anything good about me / I'm the only one who knows". It's a nice, rare thing to be complimented, like an ego massage.

When I first met Munro I remember we had several heated arguments over George Orwell's influences and politics, &c. and, in the end, I had come off kind of insulting. I regret that. I see myself in Munro in so many different ways. We've kept in contact privately, and when I hear about his experiences with school, love and teenage-angst I get that familiar 'bittersweet nostalgic' feeling. He's just like I was at his age, only not so stuck up (he says he is snobbish, but I think that's just a clever ruse for his intelligence); but more than anything, he is just an all-around wonderful person. ;) I probably haven't said that enough, though. So here's a little recognition, a little love, my friend, you deserve it.

ihrocks

10-12-2003, 03:27 PM

My chum Abdo, the acerbic, the kind, the gifted, the contrarian.

He adds richness and depth to life. He offers bold streaks of strong color to our discourse, but also fills in the subtle shadings inbetween.

ihrocks

Shea

10-13-2003, 08:36 AM

ihrocks is the sweet inteligent lady that always has the benefit of good advice to better the world. I feel like she's that teacher at school that makes the students learn better. She states her opinion with the delicacy that I wish I had. (I hate to feel that I may insult anyone, even unawares)

den

10-14-2003, 04:26 PM

Shea is very passionate about her bible quotes, she knows it inside out. I haven't even read the whole thing, so I commend her on her knowledge and recall.

She also has a lot of patience, especially dealing with the likes of Abdo and some others around here... ;) :) :D

AbdoRinbo

Hm, den's kind of like that last cigarette in a pack, you know, the one you savor the most. She brings satisfaction to my life, even if only temporarily . . . ;)

fayefaye

10-15-2003, 05:03 AM

hmm.. well, abdo's posts are always interesting to read, flawlessly intelligent and sometimes amusing. hell, i respected his intellect even when he put up 'abdo's a ****ing *******' in the quotes forum. I don't think that's true- he seems like a nice guy (i'm assuming abdo's a male because munro referred to him as 'the man'). He could probably post up anything and people would still read it and reply. PLUS he's a SEINFELD fan. 'nuff said.

I'd like to see what you have to say about me, since when most ppl come across me they just think I'm downright weird.

Koa

10-15-2003, 04:36 PM

Fayefaye, you're cool and you posted a lot here, and interesting stuff so this place is getting more and more lively.:)
(P.S. I need to know what that Seinfeld is...;))

But I need to say something tonight:

I love you all! :) :D

And I must say I agree on everything Munro said about Abdo...

Sorry fayefaye I spoiled your praise but I'm not goo at praising tho I really love you all :)

:oops: :oops: :oops: *feels slightly pathetic tonight but you'd better take advantage of this moment of sweetness- just be careful the honey doesnt stick on your clothes!*;)

AbdoRinbo

10-15-2003, 09:54 PM

Koa, what a sincere and intelligent mind. She's crystallized perfectly the reason, the emotion, that has brought us all together. Love (yes, it is true). We all love the same thing. And I don't mean the love of Literature, because I think the 'subject' is irrelevant. Rather, what we've discovered: that, yes, there are people out there who are just as human as you and me, people all over the globe, far away in countries whose names I can't pronounce. It's kind of a reassuring feeling, especially now.

That was nothing short of amazing, Koa. :oops: Thanks. ;)

Koa

10-16-2003, 04:35 AM

Aww that's true...last night I went to bed thinking why it's so hard to find people (especially men eheheheheh .... :oops: ) 'like this' in the real world out there. Or is it just an illusion created by my mind in this virtual world...???

Back to the game... Abdo is able to raise a crowd of praises from everyone who visits this forum... He's the idol of the young men and the crush of the young women...And damn he really knows about everything! And he posts in so many topics, that most of them become so popular cos everybody follows.
(and my English feels sticky this morning, must have been all that honey... :D :D :D )

Shea

10-16-2003, 08:57 AM

Koa, you're the one that I really look up to linguistically. How many languages do you speak? 3, 4? I've struggled just to try to learn a second! Just that alone speaks a lot of you. I always enjoy reading your posts because your so down to earth and understanding. At the same time, your just as intelligent as Abdo, and have good profound statements to boost our intelligence. :D

AbdoRinbo

10-17-2003, 01:28 AM

Shea is just as patient as ihrocks. Believe me, I know. I've bombarded her with riddles and paradoxes about the Bible for almost three months now. It's a wonder how we've managed to stay on good terms at all. But that is characteristic of Shea, she's something between a mother and a big sister; she's detached and serious, yet sympathetic and playful. Again, you have to believe me, I've tested the limit of her calmness and she never came off as insulting, not once. If you see her around, ask her what she thinks of the Catholic Church and then bring up the Reformation, point out the similarities between it and the rise of Capitalism, tell her that GM and Ford were Nazi patrons, throw some Globalization pop-trivia in there, maybe a fact or two on Protestant American race-relations, and you'll see for yourself: she doesn't get angry. Is it just me? Hehehe, I'm only kidding, Shea. You're great, I mean that.

Oh, and it seemed like fayefaye was overlooked back there. So I wanted to post what she had written on a different thread, because it is along the same lines as what Koa was saying:

y'know what i love about this site? everyone's real nice. and it must be the only place on the net where u can have (reasonably) intelligent converstion. also, everyone's pretty laid back-i can post stuff in the general literature forum that isn't about general literature! (this actually gives me a rebellious thrill :)). i guess i'll just compliment admin on a job well done.

What a sweetheart. ;)

Pretend fayefaye wrote this and say something nice about her.

Munro

10-17-2003, 03:55 AM

fayefaye is definitely the forum sweetheart. She is my comunpatriot, and has breathed life into the forums, compelling us to chat more, speak more freely, more happily, and by her casual (and did I mention) sweet posts has made everything here seem a bit more friendly.

I didn't think anyone else from Australia would discover a place like this and share it with us, and have the sensible opinions that fayefaye has expressed, and so I kinda see her as one of the last sane people left on this island, which I am pleased and comforted to be sharing with her. :)

fayefaye

10-17-2003, 08:06 AM

*sniff* aww.. I love u guys... that's so sweet, especially since I wasn't the person above you ) . I actually thought most of my posts were fairly inane. oops seriously, that's so sweet munro. D I'm sure there are some other sane people on this island, though my friends give my weird looks when I say the only reason I go on the internet is to visit a literature forum. (well, I'm a member of another forum, but this definately takes first place)

The things I like about Munro is that he's honest, friendly and genuine. He's real, and real people are hard to find in this world. The last thing I imagine him to be is a poser; but he's great the way he is. D

I'd post a compliment on abdo, since he's missed out one.. but I think he's had enough. D

ihrocks

10-17-2003, 08:07 AM

Munro is a marvel. The antithesis of that "Steve Irwin/Paul Hogan" notion that Americans sometimes get of Australians, especially Australian men. Articulate and intelligent, his posts are a pleasure to read.

And speaking of this site (here I go off-topic again), it's a pleasant refuge after long days at the office. I used to post to a different forum, and much like this one, the companionship and good feelings flowed, until a pair of idiots came along and changed to whole tone. I check in there once in a while and see them still snapping at one another, and I'm glad I moved on. Let's continue to share ideas, even disagree passionately at times, but remember what it is that brings us back here.

And Munro, you are a credit to your continent!

ihrocks

fayefaye

10-17-2003, 08:36 AM

oops I didn't read abdo's post where he quoted me. so i thought i'd add in another compliment for him anyway, and one for ihrocks too. D abdo always seems to know the right thing to say. such a nice guy. and ihrocks, well just rocks. (sorry-I'll come up with something better later, but I have to disconnect now) oops

uuummmm...i'm scared now. I'm now seeing sides of ppl that i haven't seen before. It's all good. MY TURN!!!

Shea
A worthy adversary and a good partner. Sometimes we are on opposite ends and eventually we agree to dissagree. But that is something i respect in a person. Sometimes i look up to her as an older sister of sorts. I'm the oldest one in my family so....yeah.

Abdo
Sometimes you get on my nerves and irritate me...other times you make me think or laugh. It's all good. I respect your ideas eventhough i may not agree with them! I think we are opposites but we TRY to keep our cool. Oh, i've wanted to say to you Abdo...what's wrong with being in marching band?! At least i have pride and honor in my band...i don't want to think about what you did in yours! :P

Jonus
He's one of the few ppl that i bow down before. His posts on the Bible forum are very humbling, thank you Jonus.

Ok...i'm finished. I'm not an emotional person (i really don't open up alot but i do rant) so you're doing well to get this much out of me.

Sindhu

10-18-2003, 04:12 AM

I just stumbled on to this thread and felt there was something I HAD to say, though I haven't been around very long. I got into this forum by sheer accident, through the Shakespeare sonnets mailing list and the first things I noticed were some of AbdoRinbo's posts(well, I could hardly help noticing them, now could I? :D ) especially in the Quotes section and to be quite honest, my hackles really rose. First because contary to what he says in this thread:

[ And I don't mean the love of Literature, because I think the 'subject' is irrelevant.
I think the "SUBJECT" is relevant, in fact I'm fanatical enough to say that for me it's practically sacred. Second I'm pretty uncomfortable with certain terms ( don't know if being from India has anything to do with it, and I'm not proud of it, but I am pretty inhibited in that respect and the language really made me cringe). I had just about decided that if this was the stuff that was regularly being posted here, I wasn't coming back, but luckily for me I had the sense to go and check out most of the other threads. I was amazed at how insightful AbdoRinbo was on occasion, how well thought out and interesting some of his posts were and how nice he could be when he wanted to. In fact, I'm beginning to get pretty mad already when someone else seems to be on a totally uncalled for spree of insulting him.
I'd like to post more on this thread once I know more about other members, but I had to post this as I wanted to be OK with myself for having been so prejudiced initially.
And this is a shameless hint, AbdoRinbo, but I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me what you think of the poems I've put in the Personal Poetry section. You can be as acerbic as you like ( I don't think I'm ever going to be able to stop cringing at your occasional choice of words :-? ) but I'd still like your opinon.

Sindhu

10-22-2003, 06:42 AM

This thread seems to have lost some direction, so I'll attempt to put it on a more meaningful course.

Sindhu is a lovely, honest person who brings her emotions to life for all us through her words. She is a most welcome addition to our little group.

ihrocks
Oh! You shouldn't, you really shouldn't!I cried and that's not a figure of speech, I mean it literally. Sorry, peopleI'm not usually all that senti, but this was - well, unexpected to say the least!
Now getting this back on topic, Ihrocks is an oasis of sanity and comfort- with just the right mixture of spice thrown in to add the sparkle. Her posts are really illuminting on an intellectual level; on a personal level, I feel safe, as with someone I can trust to understand, whether they agree or not.

fayefaye

10-22-2003, 07:36 AM

hmm.. I don't know that much about Sindhu, but I think she's here right now at the same time as me, which I think's pretty cool so I thought I'd throw a few compliments her way. Sindhu strikes me as very passionate about literature; books in general, not just society's idea of literature wink . Unpretentious and intelligent, willing to read Shakespeare alongside Judy Blume, and someone I'd definately admire for their english skills. What part of india are you in by the way?

Sindhu

10-23-2003, 12:38 AM

From what I've seen of fayefaye's posts, she's really intelligent, ready to make up her own mind and stick to it- and very lovable in the way she uses the" :oops: " emoticon when she says she doesn't like Shakespeare or Conrad!
(You really shouldn't, IMO, you know fayefaye- your reading range is remarkable and you have nothing to go :oops: about!) Someone said earlier fayefaye is certainly the forum sweetheart, I'd agree with that the whole way! And if I say this much now, imagine WHAT I'm going to say when I know her a bit better!
BTW, to answer your question, I'm from Kerala state in India, the southern most point of India actually.

fayefaye

10-24-2003, 08:30 AM

I can't believe you think I'm intelligent based on my posts... 'intelligent' seems to be the standard here, though, so maybe in comparison with all the rest of you I'm average. Actually, I had a really bad day today (Hindenburg bad) ( so I really needed a compliment, though today I realised I actually.. somewhat hate being intelligent. oops I mean, you all know what it's like, right? I prefer behaving stupid, it's so much easier, happier.. Sorry, I'm bringing too much personal stuff here. oops

I think you seem like quite the sweetie, Sindhu, I don't know whereabouts that part of India is, but I have a lot of Indian friends (they're all incredibly nice, kind people-just like u!).. I can say 'You are crazy' in Hindi. D Do you speak Hindi or one of the other dialects? (hmm.. I think in the South they speak Telugu.. among others, but I'm not really sure)

ihrocks

10-24-2003, 09:24 AM

Sorry to hear about the bad day, fayefaye. I wish you a better tomorrow.

You not only have the gift of intelligence, but also perception, and both can be a double-edged sword. Sometimes foolishness is a refuge, nothing goes too deep, so nothing can hurt. But then life is so empty. I think it's better to open oneself, even though it's sometimes painful, to the deeper and more meaningful experiences in life. For, while the lows will be lower, the highs are also higher and more rewarding.

Be strong, our fayefaye, I'll keep you in my thoughts today.

ihrocks

fayefaye

10-24-2003, 09:41 AM

thanks ihrocks. i really appreciate that. foolishness is a refuge though, that's kind of what makes it so great, you know? sometimes i just wish the real world would just stop bothering me. It seems like the lows are lower, but the highs aren't any higher at all, lower in fact. cry sorry, have i hijacked this thread a bit? ok, i should probably get back on track.

ihrocks is kind and considerate. her posts are all quality. i can definately see why abdo would describe her as an 'angel of reason' because she definately is just that. I hope you have a good day, too. wink

Sindhu

10-24-2003, 11:03 PM

You can't be foolish if you aren't fayefaye, if that hurts, its a curse you've got to live with. And, yes, the real world IS a pain most of the time and the highs are few- but there WILL come some among those few highs that make it all worthwhile in the final analysis. If they haven't come yet, wait, they WILL. I'm in the slough of despond most of the time myself, so I think I know what I'm talking about!
As to what you asked, I'm actually from South India and my dialect language is Malayalam, but I'm pretty fluent in Hindi too.
If thinking of you is of any help, beleive me, I'll be doing it! Hope today is better! :)

fayefaye

10-25-2003, 02:38 AM

it truly baffles me that ppl could describe me as the forum sweetheart when you are all so kind and considerate. oh, but you'd be surprised. i can be foolish. a fool among fools. I don't like curses, you see. thanks a lot though sindhu. that's awful sweet.

Koa

10-25-2003, 12:10 PM

I sometimes think that being intelligent is a curse. You see how the world really is, i.e. pain. Some moments are ok, they're the 'high'. At least stupid people are happy with everything and don't find problems in anything. Maybe they're the clever ones, and we are the stupid ones.

Back on topic, I noitced I'm not good at praising at all... but I wanted to say that fayefaye is intelligent to me in the sense that she can talk wisely or anyway in a sensitive mature way about stuff like literature etc, which I think is especially rare among very young people. (I think she's very young, though I'm not completely sure).

I also have a question, just for curiousity...is Sindhu female?

yes, i think sindhu is female. (?) intelligence is a curse, isn't it? I mean, you think more.. that can get ... I don't know. Stupid people are always happy.

yes, i have been coming here a lot lately. but yesterday and today i saw sindhu's name on every index, so looks like i've got competition. ) i don't think any of her posts are stupid-i'd like to know what she deleted? sorry den, did i sort of hijack this thread? i'll try to get back on track. den's a little freaky-intelligent. sometimes i read her posts twice searching for double entendres that may or may not be there.. and i can never really tell. she's just the sort of person i'd find it interesting to sit down and talk to -try to pick her brain, but i'd never be smart enough to figure out how her mind works. she speaks her opinion openly, and strikes me as a really strong person. i'd hate to be her enemy. )

Beleive me, You've got competition all right- I'm sototally FRUSTRATED and the only way I can stop from thinking which is the last thing I want to do at this precise moment is to keep posting. :( But as to the posts Ideleted, they were cast iron STUPID- and you're better off not knowing! ;)

Sindhu you are cool, you are the second person on here I have told this to total. So it is a big deal. Shea was the first, if she did not notice before.

u telling me i'm better off not knowing just makes me want to know more! i'm so juvenile sometimes. btw, right now MY name's on every index lol i like ickmeister's username. i think (s)he's someone with courage to voice their opinion or beliefs. (telling me the red hot chilli peppers are really bad. that take's the quintessential stuff of heroes- utter courage or utter stupidity! lol i assume it's the former)

I haven't been here for a while and I just wanted to post here before my lull in studies is over.

Fayefaye, you are very cool too. :D You have a great level-headedness about you that I admire. You're not afraid to stand your ground on anything, and you're a great addition to "the girls" of the forums.

Jay, your like my old dear friend. In fact, did you know that your the first person to ever send me a PM, back when we were newbies? Sometimes you have that way of talking funny when you seem to be stressed out, and I just want to give you a virtual cup of hot tea and just sit and talk. Your one of the more understanding people I've known and I wish I had more gumption to return more of the kindness that you've shown me. And for my laziness, I could really kick myself.

Abdo, that compliment you paid me really made me smile! :D Which was kind of embarrassing because I was in a public library :oops: . I really like the way you always set a challenge. I said it before, but you really do remind me of my dad, who argues his point whether or not he knows he's wrong. I used to find that exasperating, but now I look at it as one of the more admirable traits that a person can have. If I'm never challenged, I'll never grow as a person. Thanks for helping every one to grow! :D

Den, I admire you for your wit! You have that sly way of making great comebacks, saying things that I could only come up with days after I should have said it. I also like the way you come up with posts to get everyone involved, like this one and the Haiku one.

Munro, if you hadn't said you were still in highschool, I never would have guessed it. You have an amazing intellegence, and I wish I could explain things more the way you do. Sometimes, when I post something, it not quite what I wanted, and you come up right behind me and say just what was in my head that I couldn't get out.

Koa, I think I've said this before, but I admire your language skills, I've pretty much lived my life in Florida, and have only been surrounded by two languages, English and Spanish, and I still can't seem to make myself bilingual! Sometimes you have this way of doubting yourself that makes me ask, why? If I was as intelligent as you I would have no problems with self confidence, but then your humbleness is to be greatly admired as well.

Sindu, I'm still learning you. You arrived at a time when my visits here became very focused, I've only been going to certain threads because I had to save time to study. But what I know of you, I've learned that you are a very agreeable person, ready to make a friend, and put in an intelligent opinion.

ickmiester, hee hee, your that guy who I feel is here to learn, but ready to make a joke of it. You make me laugh, and your presence here adds a bit of charm to the forums. Your almost like the comic relief. :D
