Felicia Day.

Well yeah.

But, what's the point of this thread? Do you want us to list our own opinion of 100 awesome things or are you just listing them? Because I can list 100 awesome things. Heck, I'll go one step beyond and list 1,000 awesome things.

Do that, then. I would be interested to see it.

How come you add genres and characters when you don't add books? Not that I really should mind, I guess.

May or may not make a similar list later.

Realising Dreams
Being the best you can be
The satisfaction you get when you finally finish a difficult task
That feeling you get when you look in the mirror and realise that you've become the person you want to be

I would post in this thread, but then I'd probably put all 1-100 as "Me." and come off as completely egotistical and narcissistic, when clearly my ego is so large and obvious that nothing needs to be said about it and that everyone already agrees with me that I am awesome, and that they are only speaking disagreement in order to keep up appearances of normality. :smalltongue:

I'm pretty certain the little cockroach is referring to this type of Nuclear War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_War_%28card_game%29). And to be honest, Nuclear War IS awesome. As long as you get to kill Cassie.

Remind me not to post while tipsy. I meant the boardgame , not something more terrifying.

What a useful thread. Now I finally have something to show to anyone who still has doubts that the word 'awesome' has lost all meaning and significance :smalltongue:

Welcome to the life of a happy optimist. Everything is awesome. :smallbiggrin:

Yes, because my ego is so large, that it makes everything else awesome by radiation.

So you're currently having sex while simultaneously playing Minecraft as your boyfriend feeds you chocolate and cider in between the breaks?

You sure know how to have fun. :smalleek::smalltongue:
