- C+ rams in again. ( I promise to be gone by tomorrow, folks... ) =)
- "Well, Kitten, firstly, I think I speak for everyone here when I say
- we really are grateful for your presense in the transdimensional
- tavern. if you weren't here, everyone would say 'Hmm.. you know, something's
- not right. Someone's missing from this place who can fill it with joy,
- laughter and fun.' Then everyone would leave.. =)
-
- "Anywayz, I think we do have a purpose here, to do good and maybe change
- it in however small way the life of the people who are around us. "Random
- acts of kindness, senseless deeds of wonder" ( paraphrased.. ) are all
- good enough. Miniscule the deed may be, but if it does help someone get
- by another day, it is sufficient reason for my existence.
-
- "At heart, I'm a cynic, but i never let that cynicism overwhelm me. I
- often question the things that I do, but never let that get in the
- way of me actually doing it. That's my whole philosophy. The world
- will be pretty much the same place whether I was here or not, as I
- know I'm not destined for greatness, but I know some people are
- grateful for me being around, and so that's good enuf, hmm?" =)
