ode to faith
the other day faith posted this. all her friends, i included, reveled in it. we all expressed our love back to her, in our own ways. unfortunately a troll came in and tried to ruin the festivites.
my first thought at reading the remarks made by that troll was i was once that troll.. people around long enough might be able to recall it. i'm not going to drag it up, some of it is still in my archives, and i'm sure you can find it in faith's. yep, faith and i had an all out war. it dragged on for a number of days. we put a common friend of ours through hell. she was great.
some how, and i'm not sure how.. if i go back and reread maybe i'll see it.. but slowly but surely faith and i turned things around. we went from being on the opposite sides of a blog war to being dear friends. she's become someone that i love. and we've never met face to face, but i know for a fact that when we do the friendship that we've found will be there. i can't wait for that day.
and so this poor troll.. i felt sorry for this troll. because whatever it is that i did that enabled me to be able to see the other side of faith, this troll isn't doing. cause faith does give second chances. i'm actually glad that faith and i went through what we did on our way to friendship. it means that we can argue and maintain our friendship. and we do.
she's an incredible person. she really is. actually, before i attacked her i'd been reading her weblog... i saw a lot of me in her words. she's a passionate woman, she's got attitude. she's got a hard outer shell.. but she is extremely kind. she treats her friends with the utmost caring. i can't say enough good things about her. i'm very picky about who i let into my heart. and i've decided that faith is a good risk. i trust her. thats saying a whole lot about a person.
so there ya go. that troll.. will never have the chance to know.
oh wait. i missed something. and its important. i never ever thought i'd call a card carrying member of the republican party a friend.. and i do. now if that doesn't show what a great person faith is, i don't know what does ;)
rhymes with: maudlin sappiness

You know... now that I think of it, I never had a flame war with you, did I? At some point in web history, you've had a fight or two with everyone I know from Faith to Jimformation.
What? I'm not *GOOD* enough for a flame war with the mighty Brooke???? :0)
