expressed openly. (See about that post length?)

In reading this thread I can see I am not alone. It gives me great joy to see people here from different cultures (non-american), to know that what Lisa represents - at least for me - is a universal concept. Beyond the hate-mongering media and greedy corporate capitalists lie greener pastures. That goes for you American members, too.
Now then, introductions aside, I am very interested in learning more about this place and in particular about the process to

realms of thought and envisioning her lending me support through a kind word or upbeat jazzy tune. (The one from the end of ' Lisa's Sax ' is stuck in my head right now!)  Sometimes I just have to think about a particular quote or episode of hers and I feel alot better. She is, to me, the pinnacle representation of the human condition if it is allowed to flourish. It is with Lisa as my inspiration that I can express my own budding creative side.

Well, let me be the first to say that that was quite a description of what Lisa means to you. It's also good to hear that this place has helped you express a little bit of what you've been going through. There are many people here who feel the same way that you do about Lisa being a figure of support, encouragement, and opportunity. It's good to have you here.

As an afterthought though, you might want to consider fitting all your thoughts into one post instead of posting separate messages... even though some posts tend to get a bit massive, it makes for a cleaner looking forum.

Edit: My bad, I didn't see you'd included another bit about length in one of your previous messages.

Hehe well I for one feel it's okay and that the problem could probably be sorted, besides, it's good to see long posts, even if they're chopped up a little bit
Anyway, Welcome to LTS Glad to hear you're finding it a help to express yourself here without worry ^_^

Dag you shouldnt be so downhearted about the lack of Lisa related posts. Think of it like this:

What has brought a group of great people together on a great forum which I think has matured into a good board with many interesting topics. LISA!

I think this is a board where Lisa would love to be a member, as it is in her Honor that we have some great intellectual discussion and some just plain fun. I am sure she would find all the stuff on here interesting. Not all of it is about her, and if it was 100% about Lisa this board would die as people would run out of things to say. The range of topics is testiment to the leaders and the posters here.

I love this place and I love the people here. We sometimes have our ups and downs like any place would. But people have left, and a lot have come back because of one thing. The great spirit here. We are the wood and Lisa is the glue that holds this place together.

This board IS the ultimate tribute to the "Yellow Spikey Haired Little girl we all adore".

You really couldn't have said it better. I agree that this board is a place where Lisa would very much like to be a member, and I've often said that Lisa would want members here to make intelligent conversation instead of talking only about her. Your analogy is spot on, too; Lisa is the glue that holds us all together.

That's good, and I'm sure it helps you to rise each morning. I used to have a Lisa picture in my room, not anymore now, however I do have a picture of someone that I love very much that's been sitting on my dresser for a few months now. If there's anything that can brighten our moods and make us feel at home, it's a picture of the one we love.

Heh, an interesting point you make there. It's really funny how much these seemingly "harmless" things affect our brains. At a young age our minds are very vulnerable, and easily shaped by things, it's no wonder that such fictional childhood heroes like Superman or Santa Claus display traits that youth are expected to emulate. Meh, it's all dogma.

That?s right. Lisa Simpson made me start playing the saxophone 8 years ago.

And about Superman - he made me always wonder what I would do with superpowers . no decent things I guess.
