What is The Spirit of the site fights*
Everyone has a different perception of DSpirit. Who do I think DSpirit *the entity* is? To me, anyway *grin* like you would wanna read my perception of DSpirit, to me, Spirit has a special meaning. This Spirit here at the site fights has given me the chance to show my spirit that I try to spread as much as I can. Sometimes I feel so disapointed because some fighters cannot see this spirit! Mainly to me, Dspirit is the spirit of friendship and of love. It is special and unique. It teaches us all about having fun and not minding if we loose! Even though some of us do mind.
I have made so many friends here at the site fights. I won't name them, there are so many that I fear I would forget to mention some! One of my dearest friends is DSpirit, Dlight, Charles.. *opps, I just said I won't name them* Anyway if DSpirit was not there to hold us all together, DMan would have retired a long long time ago *waves at Dman* and DSpirit and DFairy *the persons* would have given up hope! *smiling* though I doubt Dspirit would *grins*
As I was saying, DSpirit got me hooked up on dusting and cheering. This entity of Friendship has made me laugh in amazement at how we can all be so friendly with each other! The spirit even exsists out of the internet and the site fights! The spirit makes you laugh, smile and see the bright side of things! That is why we all make spirit pages! We want to show the Spirit, and spread it far and wide!Don't you see, there is spirit in the site fights!
In my spirit comments I wrote :It could take me an hour to figure out how to express myself. So what exactly does spirit mean to me? How can you describe something you can feel yet cannot see, something u can touch yet cannot hear? Spirit was the start of many wonderful friendships that I'd made in The Site Fights. It is an entity, an inspiration for my cheers, and the bond that holds all Fighters, Fairies, everyone in The Site Fights together as one, United. That is what Spirit means to me something special in my heart, growing everyday. I cannot imagine the Fights without it, it will be too lonely to bear. Last of all, I just wanna say, if YOU cannot feel it, you are missing out on a very beautiful thing. *huggs*
I saw what my friend DEssence of Melody wrote, and she said that DSpirit was magic. And it is true. I agree with Kel, she came the closest when she said that Spirit was magic because it is.
It's just me I guess, but I never wanna stop talking about Spirit. Never! Even the person representing it is spirited!
DSpirit, the woman
The person Dspirit *grins* is a very very special woman who has dedicated her time and effort to the spreading of DSpirit. I swear she never runs out of ideas! Every moment of the day she has new ideas! And probably now when she's reading all this, a new idea is taking root in her mind, and she would probably carry it out without a hitch. The idea for DEssences was hers and hers alone, and she carried it out so smoothly, I can hardly believe how far DEssence has come! From three members to more than 20! *whistles* If you need help with spirit, the answer you will look for is DSpirit. Just give her a email and she'll do her best to help you!
I couldn't believe I found a friend in her, but I realised that when I told her and DLight that I might be leaving the internet for good. The words she said really touched me. She was willing to let me go because she wanted me to share my spirit with everyone else. She and DLight encouraged me to study hard! And I am trying to now, for both of them and for myself. And I love this person who cares so much and this person who loves and spreads Dspirit as easily! She has touched me in many many many ways, I cannot begin to tell you how. But she has.
Growing in Spirit
I entered the fights scared and innocent. I just thought I would see whether my site was good enough, try to win, and then get out of it, and continue my wanderings around the internet. I readily did cheers and shouted out, I was game for anything. I even made songs out of some cheers. But as I went along, some of DQueen's spirit caught me up. I realised I couldn't stop! I went all out to DVote exchange. Shouted out with all my might, and made a spirit page. I still didn't feel the spirit yet. And all the while DQueen gave me support and encouragements, so did Charles and Tim! Thank you the three of you! *waves*
One day I decided to join the wee ones. I didn't know when I decided to, I just looked at the name DFairy, and realised what a wonderful job she was doing, and then I looked at the name DSpirit. *click* I joined the wee ones. I knew that once I joined, I already had this bond with the site fights that I could not break, no matter how hard I tried to. Snd that bond was DSpirit. Before I knew it, when Lady Moonlight and Skylark offered me a postion that I was honoured to accept, I became the leader of the Wee Ones in DPirates Team!! I must say that it is a very very satisfying job!
After that, I added DSpirit into my icq list, and got to know her! *the person* She was really friendly and said that she had a secret. I LOVE secrets, so I asked her what what!?! And she told me. She wanted to set up a small group called DEssences and she told me never never tell anyone yet! I was so excited, and when she invited me to be the first member, I was very trilled! I said sure, I'd be so honoured to and so I became Spirit Odette or if you like, DEssence of Odette. It was still a very big secret.
I went around dusting sites, working with DLight, many many sites with my wee one tickles. I sent reports in to DSpirit and tickled the sites with every tickle I could think of. Now DEssence has grown and grown that there are now around more than 20 members! It continues to grow everyday! We work on a few teams per week, spreading spirit and cheering for these teams, I am the ring mistress of DEssence Webring! Now if you're a spirit, this is a direct hint to join it if you haven't!All the time I was fighting hard with DPharaohs. I only rested one week before I went back into the cobra pits again. I told myself Odette, you're mad, but that was DSpirit working again!! But I didn't know at that time. I just wanted to make DQueen proud of me! So I started fighting, and what kept me on with the voting and the tickling, I don't know. I am kindof lucky I had a cable modem! It was so fast and I could do so many things at one time!
The busier I grew, the happier. I wanted to tickle a site, tell them gently they didn't have a spirit page, and then go back and see that they have their spirit page all built up and standing proud. I feel happy I played a part in all that!
One week before the DMan's dome
Shortly after the dome, DSpirit asked me to take charge of The Spirit Adoption Webring. It was a webring for those who had adopted Spirits at the site fights to join. I agreed. =) After I fought at the Dome, *I came in 2nd loosing by 1 point*, she suggested that I set up a Spirit Newsletter. It was all very fast, she had my site fights account set up after about three e-mails. I became a member of DRealm of DSpirit.
Becoming a member of DRealm is everything like I've dreamt of. It was fun becoming the head editor, going around interviewing team leaders, assitant team leaders, Fairies. I had my own column and with the help of the spirits, DSpirit and DLight, the Spirit Newsletter was borned. I learnt a lot in these few weeks, I learnt to be positive, instead of negative, I learnt how to joke with the people I was interviewing with. And most of all, I found my spirit returning to me in ways I cannot explain.
I was busy, DSpirit told me not to push myself and work too hard, but I wanted to, because it was fun being busy!! I may have been too busy to sign guestbooks and tickle like I used to, I admit I do miss my tickling days when I simple wandered around tickling everything I saw in sight, and sending in people to win the spirit award, but now the spirit newsletter takes up most of my time. I know I'm doing something I like and love, and that what makes being in DRealm more and more appealing to me.
