This thread is rather lovely. Just thinking about this made me smile, and that's always good.

So let's see...

1. Complement myself: I'm intelligent and fairly good-looking.
2. Something I love about being alive: being able to wake up to a new day and feel like I can do anything. And sunsets, as well, just for the sheer beauty.
3. And I already have thanked the people who keep me going. After going through an extremely tough period in my life, and having some very wonderful people there to support me, I made sure to let everyone know what they meant to me.

We aren't big fans of list threads here...moving on!

1) I have low self esteem but I happened to be incredibly sexy, how strange.

2) Rainbows always brighten up my day, but I live for the Sunrise and the Sunset, especially in Ibiza.

3) actually my friends here on the Escapist are incredibly lovely people, actually alot of you are!. In real life, my sister Vanessa and my best friend Pav.

1. I'm actually pretty good at games. Sure, there are those that are better than me at Halo and Call of Duty, but the number of completed story modes I've got under my belt is so big I don't think I could name them all.
I see why arrogant people toot their own trumpet so much, it's actually quite fun.

2. That smell the rain leaves after it's been doing it's business when the ground's been all hot in the summer. You wanted silly, I gave you silly.

3. Well, I'll get right on that when they're done watching stuff on the BBC iPlayer. The emotion might be lost when they're trying to pay attention to "Eggheads".

1. I can be quite kind and selfless. It's a bit odd...

2. I enjoy a lot in life. But since I'm currently listening to this and it is quite uplifting and cheerful, I thought I'd post it.

3. I'm not sure if I have someone who accurately fits this description...

I feel sad and lonely sometimes, but I do my best to keep myself upbeat and positive. I've made it my mission in life to make other people happy. If I see someone struggling to lift something, I help them. If they're coming up to a door and I'm closer than them, I open it for them.

There are a lot of things you can do to make the world a little brighter. Just don't expect to make it all sunshine, because some people are impossible to cheer up.

Alright, I'll give this a shot:

1. I do this on a regular basis. If I'm not feeling like shit on the day in question, I love myself and do my best to better any faults I find.

2. I love taking nice walks during the warm day.
I love setting the thermostat really low at night to get all snuggly in bed.
I love a nice cup of tea.
I love my friends here.
I love being alive in general!

3. Well...herein lies a problem. I don't know anyone like that in real life. All of my friends and loved ones are on here. I still love all of you though!!

I'm great at anything I really try to do.

2. Say something about thing that you love about being alive(no matter how silly it is, for me its waking watching the sun peak over the mountains with a cup of coffee)
I love travelling and learning new things. Reading books and meeting people. Bettering myself. Tea and biscuits.

Very much tea.


3. Thank that person(s) that someone(s) who keep you going even through the toughest of times and just knowing them gives you hope. Not here but in real life next time you see them.
Tank you me! =D

I don't have anyone like that. Ah well. I've got by relying on myself so far.

So I noticed alot of people here can be sad and cynical or have distaste for the human race. It hard not to be that way, so many things can let you down or hurt you. I remember being depressed and contemplating sucide I held my feet to the edge only to walk away and never turn back(looking back the fall probaly wouldn't have killed me, even though I wanted it too at the time) and found solice in my family and writting. Its during times like these we must remember to be thankful as cliche as it sounds. So I ask all those willing to participate to do three things.

Now there is no reason to leave rude comments or snide remarks let the people who wish to do this do it, if you don't want to then just click that back button

edit-Did some cleaning up in the spelling department.
1. im quite bright

2. seeing your avatar makes me laugh every time.

1: I like to think that I'm determined. It takes a lot to make me give up, even if what I'm trying to do is something I'm awful at. I like to keep trying until I can do it right. Never start something that you can't finish.

2: Every so often, and this will sound dumb to a lot of you, but I like to just stop and think about how great things are. Just stop once in a while and think about how complex your day to day equipment and actions are, and how easy they've become thanks to other people. It keeps me going, makes me want to improve, to think that someday someone could say that about something I've done. I'm sure I'm making some ghostly scientist very happy sometimes.

3: I don't have anyone like that. So I'm going to thank the Escapist. It's one of the few places I let things out, so thank you for making a community that allows me to do so.

I'll do some more for you. My edits will be in bold. Those edits are just spelling - it is difficult to fix someone's grammar without making assumptions about what they mean.

On topic, try to remember a really good day that you had some time, and then make a plan so that you can have another day like that soon.

Are we to take it that there's a letter in the post for Hubilub?

1. I'm pretty witty and I think I have a good sense of humour. I'm pretty good at drawing comic book characters as well.

2. I love brisk winter days. Days when it's really cold but really sunny as well. I just love how it wakes you up no matter what you were doing previously.

3. My best friend, who I also have a crush on. Even if we never get into a romantic relationship, she's just great to be with and I'm glad that I ever met her.

I used to be a pretty sad boy. I would usually be by myself, get made fun of, and lots of other things. I learned that you just got to accept these things, dont let people bring you down, and everything has an upside, even if its just learning something new or opening a new opportunity.
Now my life is much better. Family issues solved, friends, and I dont get teased.

1. Im thoughtful, understanding, and intelligent.

2. Games, friends, food, and hiking through the wilderness.

3 My mother, and most of my family.
