April 2007 - TAC Presents Exalted Crayon ---> VERILEAH

So Vex and I were thinking...I know, stunning isn't it? So we were thinking that this summer The Angry Crayon will have been opened for 4 years. Zoinks, huh? We had been discussing doing an artist of month for years now but never got around to implementing it. So this March we buckled down and said, god dang it, we're fucking doing it. Curse words and all.

I've owned and operated TAC with Vex's help since June of 2003. We've had many members come and go, come and stay, come and wreck havoc but none so prolific, so creative, so compassionate as Verileah and she is TAC's very first Exalted Crayon.

I've known Verileah since EQ and she has always been one of the most kindest, funniest, smartest and hilarious members of both TAC and its sister site Sanguine Afflictions. Verileah singlehandedly turned TAC into not just an artist message board but an all encompassing powerhouse of fucking fun and literature. Verileah graced us with The Mafia and has personally run over half if not damn near 90 percent of all games played here on TAC. She is our book club moderator and is always trying to come up with ways to educate us goobers with her enlightening book and music reviews. She creates a comfortable and fun place for book lovers as well as artists to come to. It is our sincere pleasure to have her as an exalted member and part of TAC Staff.

Along with her many accomplishments on TAC, she is also co-creator of www.SanguineAffliction.com One day I got a hair up my butt and made a second forum which eventually became a completely original (well original enough hehe) vampire world. She tirelessly works to maintain her presence as a Staff member as well as personally written many of the technological smart stuff for both our Vampire and Werewolf species. She talks pretty, in other words. =D

Despite all this, Verileah is just a good person, as are all our members, but she is also someone I am very fortunate to call a friend. She is kind to strangers, compassionate to idiots and tolerates a shit load more than I do. I know I can say that we are all better people for having known her.

Thank you for everything you do, Billie. Yer the bestest.


[10:53] Billie: seriously, I'm teary eyed and shit. It's crazy *laughs*
[10:54] ROzBeans: kat and i were talking and finally said let's fucking do this already.
[10:54] ROzBeans: we were talking out the particulars of what we could do to showcase the choices and I said, 'I think billie should be first.' and she immediately replied, 'You read my mind.'
[10:54] ROzBeans: you do so SO much for the board billie. I am grateful beyond words.
[10:55] ROzBeans: For both TAC and SA, without you none of what they both are today would have ever happened.
[10:55] Billie: *laughs* It's funny, I always wish I could be doing more
[10:55] ROzBeans: you do anymore and i'd give the board to you lol
