(to use Euler's crude cant, I just pulled a bangali and probably because I'm talking about myself, this got longer than expected
)
More seriously guys, it may or may not have been the high winds last night
this morning, but I was just blown away. I'm pretty sure I was lucky enough to scrape one nomination for MVP (cheers Splash) and this was.... genuinely unexpected.
(as in, like, I knew I deserved it but didn't think other people adequately appreciated my worth ) Though I didn't leap in electric shock out of my chair like time I was offered modship out of the blue... maybe because I hadn't rigged the system to get that mod offer
I've only been round for a year, but in that year AN has changed me (for the better or worse? I'll get back to you) far more than I've impacted it. Guys, I can't appreciate enough your insights, your views, your care, and perhaps most importantly your compliments. To me, the most vital facet of AN is its constant supportiveness, generosity and care - something that everyone can easily contribute to, no matter what scores they got. I hope we keep growing further in this direction!
Congrats to all the other winners, and all the other nominees and non-nominated members who were somehow missed; this social points game doesn't always reflect on real worth, and we
really appreciate your unique input.
And as my prize can I have that pesky '_lok' thingy finally chopped off my name? Please and thankyou. Also a big round badge to wear to uni on the front of my jumper like a total cool kid?
Enjoy the lectures, and look forward to meeting you all and beating you all at Jenga on Saturday,
God bless,
bangali(-minus-the-lok-I-hope)
P.S. It's awkward to tag this on the end of something slightly flippant, but thankyou to those involved in that gesture towards hobbitle - it encapsulates what I appreciate so much about ATAR Notes.
