Three Cheers For Our Staff


Most people in this world are always very willing to tear other people down to get to the top, and yes, sometimes it is necessary, but the whole world doesn’t need to be so vicious.

So starting with this article I am going to attempt a kind of domino theory to spread a little bit of peace to others. Well, who better to uplift then the people of The Nearby Future Staff?

Here we go! First off is Rika, all of you probably know she is the hardest worker on this entire website! Heck, she even created it but what else is she extremely good at? Well one of here many talents is she’s an awesome director she both wrote and directed the Kingdom Hearts Play while also starring in it! Now if that isn’t talented then I don’t know what is. Also Rika is a dedicated environmentalist every time I see her she is pushing someone off a defenseless tree or picking up someone else’s litter. Rika should win a Noble Peace Prize… possibly instead of Al Gore- I mean seriously, who likes him? But anyway, Rika has a lot of dedication and is good at absolutely everything she does.

Secondly, is Ashley Lampost the every time you see her she is reading or writing a fantastic story! Lampost loves to read in fact she’s the one who introduced Maximum Ride to us, the merry band of writers. When I very first met her she was reading Eragon and she finished it really fast. If there was ever someone who would be able to compete with Jala for biggest book fanatic, it would be Ashley Lampost.  

Next is Jala, probably the site’s favorite, but why is she the favorite? Well I’ll tell you: because she’s an amazing person. As you all know she is a extremely fast reader and if you ever get the chance to witness it, it only blows your mind that much more. Also, she is very good at forgiving- keeping her cool when I accidentally ripped one of her precious books, page 22 to be exact. But that’s not the point- Jala is an amazing person and if she used her domination, she probably could rule the world, but none of us have to worry; she’s to involved in her books to take action. :)

Another fantastic staff member is Jennith. Although she doesn’t write much when she does the articles are outstanding. Such as the Chocolate Cars- I mean come on people it’s a masterpiece! Jennith also has mad skills at Guitar Hero, she’s so good I bet she could beat that kid from China that was on Ellen DeGeneres. But Jennith is also a very dedicated animal lover she currently is an officer for ASPCA helping to make the world an animal abuse free world.

Also another very important staff member is Calister F. Wells. Calister is probably best at contradicting exactly what Rika says and does a splendid job. He once said that he would volunteer to be Peter in Ender’s Game and I’m not sure if it would be much different of a life style for him. Just kidding, but he’s good at a lot of things and he would be a good consideration for future dictator of the world. The only thing he isn’t good at is acting, however he is very humble and manages to never watch anything that he stars in.

Finally there is Hope, if you’ve ever read Hope’s articles you know that she is very good at what she does. She supports her articles very well on both sides of the controversy, then at the end shows her opinion, so that you have time to decide what your opinion is. Hope loves to dance and believe me she’ll drag you on the dance floor if you refuse to on your own.

So that’s all the staff members that deserve a ‘Hip Hip Hooray’. Make sure to tell someone else you know how important they are in this world. One simple gesture of kindness can brighten someones whole day.

P.S. I am very aware that I forgot some of the people who participate on this site, and that is because they are contributors and need their own article because they aren’t staff but contributors. Three Cheers For Our Staff and Contributors didn’t sound all that cool. So in the far future I will uplift the contributors, but keep in mind this is the Nearby Future not the far away future (Alright, so I’m probably never going to write about contributors.)

P.S.S. Sorry to Rika who must once again fix and edit my articles, we all appreciate what you do for us!

    Way to spread cheer to the world! Now for a little about you: Piratical Lord of the Guitars is out to save the world- her way. By spreading cheer, informing people about what the future may hold in store, and just being an all around happy person, this confident staff member is very opinionated. Throw in being a good writer and a great actress (who stars in VERY many bloopers :D ), and you’ve got yourself a friendly, outgoing person!

    So… The contributors weren’t mentioned. I don’t care, I’m just saying I should get an article all about me. It’s no big deal, but I’m sure that everyone that views this site are dieing to know more about me, Nero, and, of course, the man who started it all, the DarkPrincofAwesome

    I’m sure they would be surprised to know the three are all the same person. And you do have an article all about you! Remember “Here I Am, America”? Oh and don’t forget to check your email to see the password for the new staff page.

    I’ll take your self centered comments to mind the next time I write an article

    Yes I do love to dance!!! Thank you also for the very lovely compliments about my writing… I try really hard! I agree with Piratical Lord of the Guitars (PLOTG for short) But you do work very very hard at the Nearby Future and that’s why it looks as nice as it does. Good job.

    Didn’t she write a contributors edition? I’m pretty sure she did, maybe it’s not out yet.
