I'm so proud of my friends

[grobandion]

Hi, my name is Oscar, I'm 31, I'm from Argentina.

I joined this forum in Sep 2007. At first, I only visited the spanish section of it, but I realized I didn't feel comfortable there.

There were so many people I couldn't stand, and they were constantly using sarcasm as a way of proving they were smarter and better....

So I stoped coming here.

But then, after a few months, i give this forum (and myself) a second chance. This time in the English section

 

I shortly found this section was like a mini "Epcot center", with the entire world represented in here.

I have met so many amazing people in here, that I felt like saying it out loud...I'm proud of my friends

 

first there is Peggi, wolfepaw, who has tought me how strong a person can be, and that you can overcome almost anything with your inner strength. There are no Hurricanes strong enough....

Besides, she's probably the nicest person ever

 

then there is tonybower and dhena, whose posts are always brilliant, and a real pleasure to read. Besides, they're always willing to help.

 

Edwin taught me a lot about tolerance, respect and sense of humor. So has strk125.

 

With Ann I have shared my addiction to the games...I can always count on her.

 

And off course, such amazing people like Nati, Denelle, sophie, cath and the rest of my friends

 

All of them make everytime I visit this forum something way much more than just a seek of information about Celine. They make me feel among friends....and I thank them for it

 

I'm so proud of calling them my friends

 

Do you feel the same?

come on, if you're not afraid of being tagged as "corny", let's share it

 

thanks for reading

saludos

 

Oscar - GD

[Edwin]

Awhh, thanks GD You're a very sweet person, and I'm glad you Took A Chance On Us again I don't think I can prepare my list of my friends and what they mean to me right now, cause I'm sure I'd forget someone, LOL. But I'll think on it!

[aicee]

Being corny was not a problem. As long as people enjoy your company.

[Bellamy]

There were so many people I couldn't stand, and they were constantly using sarcasm as a way of proving they were smarter and better....

So I stoped coming here.

But totally not worth it. Why give up to the smart #ss?

[Black Kitten]

that's so sweet of you Oscar. i really feel my posts are somewhat too ordinary to be called "smart". im not as smart as Manuel or Tony, but i just share my opinions when i want to get involved in a certain topic. putting my name next to Tony is a huge compliment i surely can't handle lol. but thank you. i'm glad someone is appreciating me, not only as a forumer, but most importantly, as a friend.

 

all the best, Oscar.

Yeah, Bellamy isn't that bad.

 

 

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

 

JK Bellamy! We love you

[KimboCosmo]

Oh wow...I wouldn't know where to start...there are so many people on this forum that I love and respect...they know who they are

 

I just hope I can meet most of them one day

[Lymon]

I've made many amazing friends here, too ! My first three friends I remember were Edwin, Erika and Astrid. All three are really amazing, strong people who it's always a pleasure to talk to.

 

Then I met my Indian buddy, Dhruv, who is one of the coolest guys out there(even if he doesn't like one of the most amazing songs on TC, Alone ). There's also people like Lea, Aly, and Kimba that are some of the funniest people I have ever met. There's many more amazing people on this website, and it's great just to speak to every person here and find out their different personalities and traits. I still feel very grateful that everyone here has been so nice and caring, this is most defanitly one of the best forums out there. Many different people, but united by one common fact: Celine.

 

Ok, i'm defanitly riding the Corny Express

[Krys]

i dunno what i'd do without the peeps from this forum. they've got me through my rough times, shared my happy times. if i get a chance i want to meet all of you in person

 

lets see the list: E!, Eddie, Dee, Mama P, Mama B, Papa S, Kimbo, of course Vic and Bellamy, Damien uhh and so on i cant remember everybody

[KimboCosmo]

I love you like a fat kid loves cake, Nick

[Jacqui]

I'm not afraid to be corny, cheesy, all that stuff!

That's what I love about this forum, that there are all types of people- different cultures, ages, everything- all united by a love for Celine. We can learn so much from each other and create wonderful friendships. Maybe we don't always see things the same way or agree on everything, but I think almost everyone here has good intentions.

I met up with some fans from another forum last week (not a Celine one) and it was horrible. I should have known from reading the board. The people were so b*tchy- so ridiculously jealous of one another, so competitive and fake, it was exhausting being around them. I ended up sitting there and reading travel brochures. Not to mention another Celine forum where it's hard to believe that the people are even fans, between the lies they spread and the disrespectful things they say.

So what I'm saying is we are blessed to have this forum and each other to talk to. With that, I will end, as I have just been pooped on.

[Angel, You thrill me]

Edwin taught me a lot about tolerance, respect and sense of humor. So has strk125.

 

aww thank you i do want to everyone to know that whoever i have on my list i think are really cool, nice and awesome people, but there are some people who i am so proud and fortunate to have as friends and they know who they are, you being one of them Oscar

The people on this forum are simply the best, and give support and advice and encouragement when needed. I love them loads and hope we stay friends for a long time

[CellyDee87]

OMG Oscar I'm going to be such a girl but that was absolutely beautiful. It was so nice to come in here and read something like that. I was really skeptical about joining a forum, but the people I have met here are just amazing I don't have enough words to describe how grateful I am to be a part of this, and like you Oscar I'm proud to call so many people here my friends So yes I'm aboard the corny train also Choo Choo!

And you will more and more if you continue to search not just in the English section but there are a lot of nice sections on the forum, I think all of them are amazing

 

With Ann I have shared my addiction to the games...I can always count on her.

[I Surrender]

Thats very nice of you to say these kind things about your friends u met on here.

[tonybower]

I haven't had much time to visit the forum recently so I have only just found this thread... and I feel so guilty for not replying sooner...!

 

Thanks GD for your honesty and sincerity and for your kind words. Since I joined the forum almost a year ago I have met some amazing people and had some interesting discussions with many others (yourself included!). It's so reassuring to know that there are like-minded people out there. I'm always amazed at how people seem to come together and find each other. Whatever situation I am (even if I'm surrounded by hundreds of people) I somehow manage to filter quite quickly through the crowds and find one or two people who I really connect with and who become lasting friends. It has always been that way for me. Although I haven't met many other forumers in person, I still feel like I have developed a connection with a small but dependable number of really nice, genuine people. And I always look forward to hearing what people are up to and what they are thinking right now, and even getting the occasional message from somebody.

 

And of course, I feel very privileged to be in the company of Peggi and dhena et al. Hopefully I will have more time in the future to drop by and 'speak' with my friends here more often...

 

Thanks again Oscar for your words and for starting such a positive thread!

It's terrible that this situation happened to you!

 

I also just returned from a forum hiatus. Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you did find nice people on this section.

 

[grobandion]

Por supuesto que si

Este año ha sido realmente magnifico, asi que muchas gracias por tus palabras

 

Thanks a lot for your comments,

see y'all around

[wolfepaw]

My dearest, sweet Oscar. There are no words to describe how your topic has touched me. I started crying when I read the very kind words you said about the people you have met through this forum and how much it has meant to you. I can't thank you enough for calling me the "nicest person ever". I feel the same about you. From the very beginning, you were so open and generous with your thoughts, feelings and sharing Josh and Celine music with me. And sending me some of the local music from Argentina, which I really enjoyed. Not to mention the pictures of your beautiful family, which I get such a kick out of seeing. I'm sorry that I just saw this topic, otherwise I would have replied to it much sooner. Thank you for calling my attention to it in your PM. (And I'll be happy to make you any graphic you want. I can't see Josh without thinking of you).

 

The people I have met on this forum are some of the nicest, most generous, wittiest, and oh so talented people I have ever had the pleasure to interact with. I agree that when I first joined this forum, I was a little leery. I had no idea of how much fun and enjoyment I would get out of it or of the amazing people I have "met" through the "Power of Celine". It's yet another example of her amazing gift to make people feel connected and loved. And I would like to thank her for it even though I'm sure she isn't even aware of how much she means to us and what she has set in motion here. Not to mention that I never did graphics before Celine. She has inspired to try things that I would never have tried before.

 

The friends I have here that I would like to thank for all we have shared are numerous, but there are several who I feel I have to mention:

First and foremost, there's YOU, Oscar. You are truly special and I am so thankful we connected. I look forward to your emails and pictures and I hope we can continue to share for a long time to come. Then there's Soloni, Ann, zoea2812, Snowhite, Denelle, destin139, angeluk2, KimboCosmo, ce-line, crannyview, summer elizabeth, xxROSExx, VintageCeline, EdwinDeux, the incomparable tonybower, and even Koolan (who I'm not too sure likes me). There are several others who I'm sure I left out and I hope they can forgive the oversight. Ann and Soloni have been some of my "bestest" friends on this forum and we have shared our love of graphics with each other. They have awesome talent and I really appreciate their friendship. It means a lot to me.

 

I hope I haven't rambled on too much for this topic. But I felt I had to thank you and all the other wonderful people I have connected with on this forum. I'm a lot older than most of the people here, but I feel like a member of a terrific "family" and I look forward to a long association of sharing our love of Celine and all the other things as well.

 

I want to wish all of you the best of everything and may you achieve your dreams and your heart's desires. You are a wonderful bunch of people and I feel very lucky to have found you. Celine said it best: You're the Reason I Go On.

 

Love, Peggi (aka wolfepaw)
