Threads of Love: A thank you

[Honey_B]

Having come to a crossroads in my life, I'm feeling a little reflective of this place that I love so much. A friend once told me, it's all about the people. And he's right. I'd like to take this self-indulgent moment to address some of the many people who have contributed to my growth as a writer and as a person.

But first, let me share a poem that I wrote to express the magic of this place and the people.

"Threads of Love"
Sometimes someone
Walks through the mist
Of your life.
You dont know why,
Yet you find they
Imprint their soul on you.
A part of you goes with them.
A part of them stays with you.
A spirit connects two souls
So they might extend
Warm threads of love
Into a bond of friendship.

Sorry about this incredibly long post, Shyguy.
(I didn't forget you. Thanks for making me feel pretty. )

Thank you so much. To everyone at LIT. I'm closing in on a thousand. Can't wait to write a thousand more.

Honey

 

[melusine]

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations on hitting one thousand posts, Honey!!! You are one of my idols here at Lit, and to read what you wrote above really did bring tears to my eyes. You are an inspiration and a joy to us all. I know I am not alone in feeling that way.

*tight hug*

much love from

Melusine/Mab

 

[ariosto]

Thank you Bee,

My gentle hands then have guided something precious. You have bloomed as white daisies and blossomed as the thorny rose.
I have delighted in all we've done together and whether I've been James Dean, the Marquis DeSade's
frightful nephew, Vito the gangster or siamese twin dwarfs, you have brought out the best of me.
And I look forward to many more adventures down this lovely twisting road we travel.

 

[Tibxo]

I simply raise an eyebrow.

 

[tmuyo]

ah b, now i'm sure you say that to all the alleged shit stirrers on lit ^_~

we'll reach a thousand together soon, i promise....

 

[Swashbuckler]

You so honor me,....

Thank you, Honey for your all too kind words you have let fall upon my flinty heart. A truer freind I could not have here at lit. Thank You. I don't have the words....

Thank You, Honey,

~Swash~

1000!!!!!
Very Cool

- Honey_B

Your words were some of the kindest - and at the same time - most delightful I have had the pleasure to read. Occasionally, a really nice person comes through all the jaded, cynical facades. You are one Honey_B...May you ever keep that view of people. Your poem was truly inspired. Thank you for all of us, and from all that might not read your post.

FROM A SCRIBBLER OF WORDS

Honey_B

Honey it sound so formal know. When I arrived at lit on the 6th of September, I had something to say, but no way to say it. You?re loving welcome at the Cafe Americian......... New OOC made all that followed possible. As you mentored me so I now mentor others.

I am and will always be your humble admirer.


C. G. Raven

ps

"You can call me C G "
Call at any time and I'll be there.

 

[TXExpress]

Sweet, sweet Honey

The one for whom I have the most thanks, since I probably would not have made the Cafe journey without spotting her av (and those of Chele and Huntress), and would not have lasted at the Cafe without her encouragement and that of her many admirers.

Honey, I would be honored, touched and ... dare I say? ... moved to work with you at any time.

Just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you? ...

 

[Cutie Lillie]

oh dear !! **** HUG *****

Honey. I'm speechless..

I never expected to care so much about the people who write on this board. I only thought it would be a lark, a challenge, a risk..

and instead, in such a short time, I've not only grown to honestly love but also to feel loved and.. now.. to feel touched.. and humbled.

~~~~~~~

LOL You know, people keep telling me that .. LOL

And what tickles me is, that first night I thought.. heck...that person has class and can 'write'... so I made you my role model..

Little did I know how true those words would be.. LOLOL

Thank you so much for being so SWEET! You have been a delight to so many people.... and continue to be...

And your friendship means so much to them, even when it gets hard...

But enough of me babbling.. I'm tripping over myself.. so I'll just say.

HEY? I've already played with your crop today.. just imagine what fear the two of us together could produce!

*HUG* Thanks Honey... I'm deeply honored.(I can't walk in your footsteps..but I certainly can follow the trail) LOLOL

 

[SexyChele]

Honey, only some one with a heart as big as Texas could write something like this, and you surely must have that heart. Thank you.

And, I don't mean to steal your thunder, but I believe there are others to be added as well? If you don't mind, that is?

Black Bart: Lit's first lovable pirate - who can write words in such a way to melt a woman's heart, or make her writhe with pleasurable pain

Bad Form: the ultimate adventure writer, one who could always keep you on the edge of your seat

Brat: whose sincerity and willingness to always give her all to the game has been appreciated time and again

Sojourner Wolf: simply the best storyteller who ever graced the boards of Lit. His imagination was boundless, his attention to detail profound. I miss you, my friend

Unit555: a man of infinite surprises - one of the best roller coaster rides going here at Lit

Sorry, Honey. Just couldn't resist saying "thanks" to these great writers as well.

Forgot one

Honey_B: For having the courage, compassion and willingness to be the truly beautiful person that you are. Thank you.


I am going to spout off now. No other way to put it.


I found this site by accident. Pure coincidence. I read a bit about it's purpose and curiousity caused me to check it out a bit further. I looked around the forums, General Board, Poetry and SRP and so forth. A bit intrigued I registered and posted a few times insmall bits, introducing myself in the newbie thread. Given a normal progression of things that is where my interest could have died. Maybe someone didn't respond and so I just let it be and find something else to do. I didn't (thank goodness).

People responded I had a bit of good... and naughty fun. I played around a bit. I found the OOC Club, which soon became the Cafe. So many opportunites have come up for me to just say "Eh, I don't wanna post anymore." I didn't though. By then I had discovered that there were a few of these people that actually mattered to me.

I stayed, for how this topic so eloquently puts it, for threads of love. People connect me to this place, without the rest of you I am a lone man whistling in the cyberdark. Did I mention I am afraid of the dark? Not really I suppose, but I do feel better that there are you others like me that are dysfunctional in close to the same way I am.

What I love most about this place is acceptance. Whatever your kink, turn-on or fetish you won't be turned away here. I think we have enough Mom-Son (etc.) threads to prove that. Maybe I am not into that, but guess what? Other people are and I love it that they can go ahead and have their fun with it. So all of yuo who have accepted me for who I am, and there are probably too many of you to list, thank you very much.

This is the thread to say it so I love ya all.

And for the eighteenth time Swash... no, not in that way! ( luv u too man, hehehe)

 

[Cutie Lillie]

Kitsuke..

I'm so sorry Honey for stepping back into your thread... my apologies...

I'll just be quick ..

When he said "I stayed, for how this topic so eloquently puts it, for threads of love. People connect me to this place, without the rest of you I am a lone man whistling in the cyberdark. Did I mention I am afraid of the dark?"

I just felt there were so many the same and I wanted to give Kituske a

HUG

Honeys' will be better, I know..
I'm sorry.. gone now.. thank you.

 

[TXExpress]

*bump*

No way will I allow this one to fall off the front page.

Lest I taste the sting of Honey's crop.

On second thought ...

 

[caspai]

I haven't been here long, and I don't know you right now as well as I will, but I just wanted to thank you. I owe a lot to you. You have done a lot for me, and I want you to know that although I don't know all of it, and probably never will, that I appreciate it. Thank you.

~Caspai

 

[papillon24]

I am honored to beon your list. Your style was so beautiful and graceful that I had to find a way to be a part of one of your threads. Even if it is just as a vampire victim. I am here at you disposal for anything. I hope to share more pleasures of the unknown with you as this site moves on.

 

[Anakin20]

Aw, shucks.

Thanks, Honey, for your kind words. YOU are an inspired wordsmith, and inspired wordsmiths play off each other like a violin and cello, dog and a frisbee, Gretzky and Kurri, or Stockton and Malone.
I hope all the other ladies appreciate my flirting. We are all beautiful people, able to express that beauty in the people that inhabit our fantasy worlds (and sometimes leak into the real)
Special hugs to Merelan, Make_My_Day, intriguess, MTNAngelWV, Destiny_Brent, mfucker, Sienna, AllieCat and you, Honey, for allowing me to touch a part of you (and not calling the police)
Read my stories, send me PMs, but most of all, laugh at my little jokes and I am happy.

"I was amazed at how strong the Force flowed through him," O-WK, referring to a young AS.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

*grinning like a fool* Oh Honey B...you have no idea how much this means. I am incredibly sorry I am not posting as much on your thread as I mean to, just sometimes I get writers block, and am afraid my contribution to the thread will be not any for of contribution.

YOu have been very inspirational to an oldie (as in lit years) like me, I have found it harder and harder to write with new people. You have turned that all around. Thank you.

 

[faith]

Many thanks.....

Your words as always are a balm for my soul.

The more time I spend on this board the more I admire you and those like you.

Kit said it so beautifully. What a guy.

Thank you Honey for being a light in my time of darkness. You truely are one very classy lady in every respect.



Please check your pms. Honey.

 

[caspai]

I know I posted before, but this has to be said. You are a class act, Lady.

[Exosus]

Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Spellbound

By your absolutely stunning writing ability m'dear Honey.

And by your gracious offer to continue Dark Nights... I shall be there... as soon as the witching hour begins for me.

It fills my soul with more dark joy than you could ever imagine to write with you again


Your Dark Knight, forever.
Simon, Exosus

 

[Ticklish Girl]

Honey_B, thank you so much for your kind words. To receive such a gracious compliment under any circumstances is a joy. But when it comes from someone you admire and respect, it's a rare delight indeed. I'm proud to know you, and I hope we can work together sometime in the future.

 

[ShyGuy68]

Honey_B I was only speaking the truth when I saw your picture! You are a beautiful woman!
