Merry meet again. It's time for more personal talk straight from the
Raven's beak. This site, these stories, wouldn't have been possible
unless for a certain few. And here's where they get credit.
First I would like to thank the Goddess for giving me the ability to
write in the way I see the world and about issues that concern me. For
this is my way of speaking out and making my mark.
I want to thank my VERY good HTML-know-it-all friend Danee Halloran for
creating this site for me and not asking for anything in return. Nice
people like you rule. Keep being your quirky self, *and yes, it's a good
thing*. You get the next shout out after the Goddess for being yourself.
*lmao* Keep rockin.
I want to thank Leah, Tavlin, Michelle, Dianna for being cool for being
the first few characters in my first stories "Happy Birthday Sweet 16".
And yeah, yeah, I know your roles weren't' that big but thank you for
letting me use your names. You guys rock!!! And with this, a shout out
to my ex-boyfriend Jason for being really sweet about the story even
though he hates the Boys and I portrayed him as an asshole. Can't find
too many guys like that out there. Thanx and I still luv ya, pal. :o)
Thanks to Kevin **007** Richardson, AJ **FreakOnALeash** McLean, Howie
**HairIssues :o)** Dorough, Nick **Blondie** Carter and Brian
**Mama'sBoy :o)** Littrell for being my inspiration for my stories. For
being the people that they are that makes their personalities so easy to
write about because I can read them like a book. Although I highly doubt
they would EVER see this site or this thank you, but I must say one
thing directed to them: "I want to thank you from the bottom of my
heart for inspiring me to reach for my dreams in whatever way I want. If
I only become half as successful as you have become and mentally touch
half the people you have, I can easily die happily. With your song Roll
With It and the positive outlooks you all have on life, it was what
brought me away from a destructive depression and away for suicide. I
don't mean to sound too emotional but I would really want to thank you
for saving my life."
I want to thank Jewel Kilcher, one of my favorite artists, for having
such a brilliant intellectual and ability for writing such deep poetry
that I have taken into my mind and processed. This perspective that I
pick out from listening to Ms. Kilcher in song and interviews and
reading in poetry have been reflecting in my writing form. Thank you
Jewel for more of my inspiration.
Shout outz to Daisy former host of Backstreet Online for agreeing to
first post my story "Happy Birthday Sweet 16" on her site. Don't know
what happened to you, girl! Sorry to see your site's down. I hope you
can read this. I really appreciate you helping me out before.
Final and most important Thank U goes out to you. Yes you. The one
taking time to read my story, read these Shout Outz and comment on my
stories. It is all greatly appreciated. For the people that have
complimented me on my work, I thank you for taking time to listen to my
perspective. It is what you people tell me about my work that drives me
to create more, to grow and mature as a person and as a writer. Thank
you for helping me grow. Don't forget to keep checking back to the site
for more updates. Don't forget to keep e-mailing me or catching me on MSN Messenger (questar36) or leaving comments in my Guest Book and SlamVook. All very
appreciated. Again, thank you.
This comes from the writer, Samantha, Raven, from me to you. THANKS!
:o)
[I have come to a point in my mentality that I don't mind if anyone
reads that last part so, don't feel bad if you thought it was private.
And the nicknames are affectionate names I made up, all in the name of
fun.]
