Sistermadly: *Standing Ovation* If I agreed with you any more, we'd be the same person.
Taualumna: Thanks Cynthia! Hey, don't forget to keep me in the loop about your project.
AstroAPhi: "You're the shit" is probably my favorite compliment in life.
And oh yeah, I've got plenty pics on my website in the gallery -- just click the little "www" at the end of my posts.
ZTAMich, do you know that Pre-K is the ONLY grade I haven't subbed for yet??? I really want to, but they keep getting other subs!
33girl: Awwwww. Yeah, the S is why I pledged, but the F is why I stayed.
ADqtPiMel: Thank you so much....I am going to save that quote (and many others from this thread) and keep them someplace safe if I ever need to be reminded again.
Dionysus: I really appreciate what you said. And I've been reflecting a lot on how unconditional the love from my APO brothers has been, in good times and in bad.
moe.rom: We talked before, but I love this quote too. Thank you man.
MaMaBuddha, you KNOW you are my girl. I really have so much respect for you and in many ways, you're like a role model in what I strive to be as a gay Greek.
texas*princess, I appreciate the echo. I feel your good vibes.
PhiPsiRuss, I nearly spit my water out on my keyboard at the "crazy uncle in the basement" remark. I appreciate the positivity man, I really do.
AKA_monet, as usual, I am feeling everything you're saying. We're here: -----><------- I just want you to know that I don't consider my decision (based strictly on Greek Chat) to be a revocation of my membership. It might seem like I'm turning my back on bros, but as I said, GC is entertainment, networking, and potential friendships. I don't come to GC to be beat up on, so I'm eliminating that aspect of my experience.
However, it does make me pause to think about all of our Greek sisters and brothers who may have been shunned over the years and now are no longer active. Can't say that I blame them if I am experiencing a fraction of what they went through.
But anyway.....I am sincerely humbled by the outpouring of support that everyone in this thread has shown me. I really didn't think that this would get more than five replies before it sank to the bottom of Chit Chat. It's nice to know that so many people on this site can identify with my "internet persona" -- which is no different from the real Rashid. I admire and appreciate so many of you.
I hope one day you all will realize how much this thread has meant to me, especially this week of all weeks.
Have a good one, folks!
