About time too.

I've sat here staring at the screen in shock for the entire evening, trying to think of something to say.  I've yet to come up with anything I'd consider witty or inspirational, so I'm just going to ramble from the heart.  

You lot are amazing.  Truly.  I joined blonde in May 2006 under slightly dodgy circumstances - promoting a Women's only tourney.  Controversial to say the least.  Yet, you didn't go on the attack.  In fact, I received a good bit of support...all things considered.  Organising of that tournament lead to involvement in the Women's UK Tour which took up most of 2007.  Again, you had questions, but didn't go on the attack.  Tikay and I had thorns in our backsides from sitting on a fence for so long, but I had tweezers, so we turned out grand.  

Once the dust settled, so did I.  I was so impressed with the way ye crush the tables and cheer each other on as ye go.  I wanted to improve my game.  To be even a patch on you.  And I wanted to belong.  I read the PHA on the quiet, but it did my head in at times.  All those abbreviations must mean something, but WTF did they mean?!  I was too new at this game called Hold Em and too new to blonde to even attempt a PHA thread, so instead I started with this:

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=25211.0  

After that, I was definitely happy with my decision to stick it out here and hoped to learn more.        

Along came blonde Bash 5.  It's all fine and well to chat blindly behind a monitor, but to meet so many in person?!  You all know each other.  You play live every other day of the week together.  You're friends.  How would we fit in?  Well, that bash sealed the deal.  You welcomed us with open arms.  Rookie wore a bra...and knickers.  You showed Timothy far too much pity, but we'll ignore that.   rotflmfao   All in all we had a blast.  I came home feeling on top of the moon and the next time I logged in, I truly felt I was part of the blonde family.  Since then, you have all taught me so much in poker and life.  

I looked at the line up of HOF members earlier today and was speechless.  Go figure.  Mark it in yer calendars...it doesn't happen often.  People who not only entered (that in itself would be an achievement for me), but cashed and made final tables in WSOP events?!  Lads who have managed some seriously fantastic achievements in UK poker.  A woman who goes through day to day struggles I'll never be able to relate to, yet improves her game on a regular basis while  holding a family together on her own.  A mug who throws the odd bit of stick and gets plenty back, but keeps calling for more with a smile on his face.  A Dog with consistent skillz at the table who was invited to meet the Queen?!  And last, but certainly not least Brendan.  To be grouped with such a great man?  I am honoured.  There's no other way to put it.  

I didn't make it to that final table last week without blonde.  Railers all through the night.  Who would have thought?  I didn't make it without the PHA board.  I was going through posts in me head as the night went on.  I don't post much there, but you lot have taught me loads.  I've lots more to learn, without a doubt, and reckon you're the lot to teach me.  

Duke, you are a complete nutter and I'm delighted to call you my friend.  I can't even put into words what I want to say here because yer so damn much better at things like this than I am and I won't do you justice.  Thank you.  Sincerely.  

I missed my 5k milestone post, much to Kev's dismay, so count this as covering for both.  I consider you lot my extended family.  I care about what happens in your lives, poker or not.  I cry when ye cry and I laugh when ye laugh.  And I thank you more than you will ever know for your support and belief in me.  Next time we meet...drinks are on me!        

and that post underlines why you are in the HOF -- enjoy

really?

well done on the entry, you prety much in my eyes typify the blonde ethos, you are a real credit to this forum and i hope you dont ever stop posting :)

fantastic post Dawn and that highlights why you deserve your place :D

Swear to ya.  PF, OOP, OTB, CBET seriously....WTF?!  Hadn't a clue.  Just about knew what SB and BB meant.  

See you tomorrow mad woman!

Sure hope so.  You feeling better then?  Been getting yer backside kicked by every german under the sun!

It's going to be a great night -- guaranteed

PS  Now the tears hit.  Hope yer all happy!   ;nemesis;  rotflmfao

read the thread again i see, take it all in x

I've been trying to get to sleep for the last half hour or so with no joy, mainly because I've been thinking about this and smiling to myself :)  I felt compelled to get up and write a bit more on this thread to go with the 'congrats' etc I've already posted.

Firstly, Dawn is a relative newcomer to blonde, only really become active in 2007.  Despite this, in my eyes, Dawn typifies everything that is 'blonde' and the place would be a lot less rich without her.  I have seen and heard it said elsewhere on more than one occasion that blonde is 'cliquey' and unwelcoming to newcomers.  People like Dawn are proof positive that you get back what you put in round here.

On a personal level, Dawn has been a terrific friend to me through what has been a pretty rough year or two.  I particularly recall when I was having a bad day earlier this year, and another blondeite PMd me to ask if I was ok.  I said I'd been on life tilt earlier in the day, but that I'd spoken to Dawn and was feeling much better.  Their reply was simply 'Laxie = life tilt sponge'.  Dawn, I'm so grateful for all the support you have given to me, and I only wish I could repay you one tenth of that somehow.  I'm forever in your debt.

I'm also so glad of the opportunity to post this stuff thanks to Laxie's entry in the HOF.  All to often in life we don't say the good stuff that should be said about people until it's too late.

You're one in a million Laxie - love ya lots xxxx

Says it all

Well done Chicka...now I'm officially a blubbering idiot.  

Now ??


Enjoy it ya mug and wallow in the respect of your friends.
