Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 Ok... Since this is a testimonial for Zack, and not my board history some quick notes: 1) I came here via SWF and joined full time as a board member. 2) I have no confidence in my writing skills or self. 3) I feel quite pathetic compared to the lot of you. Since you all have life, friends, and frankly have more awesome stories to tell than I can. At least I feel so. Why did I just mention those? Because of my testimonial to Zack, I'll be referring to these points and you need to know them before I continue. As I said I originally came here via the SWF. Now, I wasn't half bad as a writer, but I just couldn't come up with any inspirations to keep my writing going. It wasn't writer's block or anything, but just I couldn't find it in myself to write anything cheerful or colorful like how I want people to think of me. When I had a back injury, I subsequently left at the same time, feeling like I couldn't write anything. Fastforward sometime to about halfway through last year. I'm slowly becoming a known entity on the board and I mean, I was at least happy with that. After all, I didn't really do anything to become well known, so I was happy with that. Next thing I know about halfway through last year, during one of my refreshing of the board, I get a pop up from a board member named Zack Malibu. Now I never kept tabs on people like I do now, so I just briefly knew he had something to do with the boards and that. So Zack introduces himself to me and I'm like ok, hi. His post saying that he heard of my exploits in SJL (SWF's developmental grounds, if you want to call it that) and had apparently managed to find one or two of them, read them, and though I should give out OAOAST since isn't as hard to do and you can work it. After SJL, I've never really gained back any confidence in my writing skills. Actually, let me correct myself, I really don't have any confidence in myself. Just the past year (2002), I had failed practically every course I took in my last year of High School and I felt like an absolute fool. I still feel like failure to this day. I told Zack I didn't want to and told him that I didn't think I'd be able to do it anymore. He kept on writing up on how great OAOAST is, telling me he'd help me along and help me make strides along the way. And so, he helped me out. Everything I did, I'd send it through him first, to get his opinion of things, and he'd come back and critic what I'd have and make some suggestions. Sure, it is a minor thing, but he never ever slammed what I'd have to say or thought of like how my school was doing, or how others thought of me. He just kept on up with helping me out. I didn't feel so bad about myself and started getting into my work, that was until I bombed for the second year in a row in my courses for school. I just felt ... well, I don't know what I felt, probably depressed beyond belief. Worse, I failed when I should've passed. That just killed anything I had going for me. I plugged away at OAOAST with Zack's help, but soon, I asked for some time off. I said it was my back, but more it was the fact that I just felt insignifcant. I seriously just walked away from everything I was doing. I told Zack I would be back, and in a few months, I'd try again. However, I was still utterly depressed and although I wrote up some pretty decent stuff about my return, I wanted feedback. I needed something in a positive light, as about the only thing I had left was my writing that I knew I was decent in... I probably should've mentioned that I had done it or something and wanted feedback, but I never got that feedback. Actually, I do correct myself and say that I wasn't given feedback. There was one instance I was given feedback, but it mostly was critic against what I was doing, saying I was dragging it out too long and wrecking it. At the time, it was the last thing I wanted to hear. But it was the truth. I didn't care and at least not till I gave up already and decided not to return to OAOAST. Before I admitted defeat, Zack said that I should continue on because it was great. Thinking back on it now, if I had been able to at least pick myself up from the mess of my life that I had made it, maybe I would've listened. Yet, I just walked away, again leaving as I had done with SJL, but Zack told me that any time I wanted to come back, I could. Maybe I will someday in the future. Although I haven't spoken at quite a length with him (or rather anyone) for quite a while, I at least know that Zack is there for anyone and everyone. He was there when I was down and frankly, I thank him for that. This will probably come off sappy, cheesy and corny, but Zack wanted me to say something about him, and this is it. I have left out my IRL stuff because as I said, this is a testimonial to Zack, and not about my life and where it went. That's another story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 NEVER~! I'll sic Lightning Flik on you. He's reading this thread RIGHT NOW. Don't piss him off! But is it even possible to piss me off to the point of no return? Have you ever taken that into account Zack? Is it even possible for me to get legit heat for someone. *thinks of the one time where he blasted his own sister directly in the stomach after being hit by her with a frying pan* ...well, I can still get angry. Legit heat? Hasn't happened yet. As for CWM, meh, I'd probably say "have fun, when WJM just turns you down flat on your ass for Zack. You might be able to get a wink or hug from her, but come on, CWM, can't you see the love those two have for each other? There's nothing you can do to mess it up." That's about it. Unless he did something totally unforgivable to either Zack or WJM. Then he shall feel my wrath and fury of the Flikable Powers®©. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably because I didn't expect something like that out of ya. Don't worry. Most people don't believe me. Then my sister tells them it's true and well, they believe. I still think that her hitting me with a frying pan hurt a hell of a lot more. Especially since she layed me out flat with it for a good couple of minutes. She has a hell of a swing. Or so my head found out that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2004 I'm hoping she didn't purposely clock you with a frying pan. If that's the case then your house sounds like an ECW match with all the sucker punches and weapon shots. Meh... She didn't. I walked into the first blow. After the gut punch, she turned and gave it a good ol' heave and hoish crushing that would make a lot of people cringe because it sounded like my skull cracked. It didn't, that was just the dull hollow sound it had after that blow. Heh.. My sister and I were like the perfect wrestling storylines gone wrong. I mean there was the match with the scissors that she stabbed me with because she pissed me off greatly but I can't clearly remember what it was over. I think I was stabbed at a couple times at that. Thankfully, only one stab actually drew blood. She didn't really mean it, I mean, I was kinda stupid for trying to attack her while she's swinging them around to defend herself. That's just asking for trouble. ...on a side note, never give her scissors period. Not even the plastic ones that aren't supposed to cut people. Trust me on this one. Seriously, just trust me on that. You don't wanna know. OH! There was the time I had made a smartass comment that came off totally wrong and trust me, it's not really decent or anything that any guy should say to a lady. Hell, I really shouldn't've been saying it to my sister. We ended up having a little tussell that ended quite abruptly when she took a nice coffee mug and smashed it across my head. That hurt like hell. Didn't break cause it was plastic, but it was one of those huge mugs that held like 20L (ok not that much, but you get what I mean) so they built for damage. ...or damaging someone. The best fight we ever had was over a piece of red string about maybe a yard long. Oh boy, that was hilarious looking back on it, but I just found the string (it was more yarn now that I think about it) and so I just kinda did silly little nothings with it because I had nothing better to do. Well, of course, my sister had a hissy fit (we were butting heads right from when we woke up, so I'm not saying I wasn't a nasty bastard, cause I was) and so she demanded her string back. Of course we ended up fighting all over the house about it. Her bitching about me giving it back, me of course, being assholic in the fulliest sense, just telling her to shut her mouth and just leave me the hell alone as it was my string. We bitched about it for like... Damn, 8 hours straight? Finally mom intervined and took the string away. Did that stop our bitching at each other? But of course not. It was each other's fault the other's string was now lost. So what happens? You guessed it. We fought yet again. It ended up coming to a draw, as she managed to lift her knee into my groin just as I tried decking her/dodging the knee (ended up with a clothsline/STO kinda thingy) and I think we both ended up getting grounded for a week after that.

Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2004 Mark-Paul Gosselaar...one hell of a guy. Whether it be his one year as a middle school student in Indiana, or those darling high school years where they picked the entire middle school building up on a forklift, and moved it to California, with some students and faculty falling out of the doors during moving (Nicki, curly-headed dude who I wanna say is named Max, Miss Bliss, and Mylo come to mind), or his one rebellious year in college where he grew out his hair, gambled, hung out with Bob Golic, and got married to Kelly Kapowski, you all know and love him from some facet of his teenage life.... Oh, you don't mean his avatar? Chris is one heck of a guy. Open-minded, funny, and a snazzy dancer to boot. His obsession with "The O.C." aside, the guy is, in no way clinically insane, which, around these parts is one heck of a positive. Oh, and if you mess with Pillman, he'll franchise your ass.

Mack pimp daddy of the motherfuckin millenium. The Man to many, a good firend to some, and my Rhode Island home boy. Dude deserves a fuckin TV show devoted to him.

Guest Plushy Al Logan Report post Posted January 27, 2004 I think Zack should be presented with a medal for bravery. The way I see it, is that Zack is kind of like Jesus Christ, he got raped for your sins. Think about it, whenever I plan to "haze" a newbie, Zack comes over, and pulls down his pants for me to prevent the newbie from recieving a pain in the ass. Zo for those of you who know Zack personally, slap him in the ass and tell him thank you for "taking one for the team." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
