you missed out Solon, not knowing Monica, she was quite the woman
while she was in the hospital a thread was set up to help her [I can't find the link to the thread]
after she died, people, in trying to express their shock and disbelief, posted about her there, in some ways canonizing her - sometimes I would shake my head reading, for I couldn't conceive who they were portraying, certainly not Monica
she was no saint, she was all too human
she had been going through a very rough time in her life when she died
I admired the way she handled it, trying and usually succeeding in being positive
she was sassy, she was mischievious, she was earthy
she made mistakes
she was funny
she was very smart
she was strong, she was weak
she cared a lot about people, she gave them much
she was sexy
she was open, understanding, but drew her lines
in some ways, she was hurt easily
she forgave
she was trusting
she was real
she was a master flirt and loved flirting
she was lonely
she was a delight
she had heart
she was a good bs'er and caught many a 'smart' person who to this day don't know they were bs'd [I loved that about her]
she was only at SI a short time, a year or two and amassed more friends, more people who cared about her, than almost any SIer I know - and that is why JLA, Neo, Shootie, Cobalt Blue, E and others did so much for her when she was dying and after
that pretty much tells you who she was
despite what X says
she was well worth knowing
she was quite a woman |
