It shouldn't bother me! But it does. Guess I really DO care about what people think of me
August 24, 2013 @ 07:25:55 pm
And it shouldn't, because ITS NOT LIKE I KNOW THESE PEOPLE. But I'm slightly a people person, and I like to make everyone happy. I'm your tiny dancer, watch me DANCE, man!

But yeah.
I have been on another forum site for about 9 years. Theres like a blog entry aspect to the forum, so I have been able to post alot, mingle, you know, get to know folk. After 9 years, only so many people know that I exist (which is really saying much, because the community isn't that large) and the 'popular kids' called me dumb and bland. And the only reason they called me dumb, because of one comment I made years ago.

I mostly now just go there to lurk,(I think I have grown out of the place. The people are all mentally screwed, theres lots of petty fights, and the jokes.... ick, I get them, just don't find the insanely dry and elitist sense of humor to be funny anymore) but I definitely DO have an opinion, a very outspoken one, and I still get overlooked. Then called bland.
I am nowhere NEAR bland, I am a freaking tequila soaked party in your MOUTH! I am your cheerleader, and spirit queen!

I just feel slightly insulted, because you know.....nine years. Nine years of angst and boy problems.

I think the only reason why this is irking me is because I've had a s***ty week.

If you're not getting much interaction it is because whatever you're sharing is considered mutual amongst those reading.

Most people in forums will only respond out of indifference.

Contesting others statements is intellectual exercise for both the defender as well as the challenger.

Controversy is the key to getting recognized hence why trolling is often times so effective.

But one really shouldn't make statements they also feel are wrong just for the sake of attention.

I can assure you, you have readers and you might actually be aiding those readers with insight.

So just post whenever you have something come to mind and do not try and maintain any defined character while doing so because the fakery will come off louder than your offering.

Sometimes, like now - I post sincerely.

Other times I post like a smart ass.

Whatever feels most comfortable at the moment is coming from the heart.

And if you have any belief in fate - some of what we feel like saying and how we deliver it, at the current moment, might be result of external influence.

Take note that aside from your immediate family you will probably only ever know one to three people who you can confide in closely and if you just take it easy and be as you are when you feel like being it will make it easier for them to hone in on you.

Well, that just sucks. I don't spew random BS. I'm not the girl who will sit there and journal about gifs. And it turns into a 400 post thread
I don't journal alot, and when I do, it usually has something to do with a problem I'm dealing with. IE, another opinion on a situation or a question that I think the masses of a forum will be able to answer. I'm content over quality. When you talk to me one-on-one I can be extremely entertaining, and that's how I was able to gain a very small following.

I remember I used to post alot about my relationships, meeting guys, sex, stuff like that. Because, at the time, that was what I was going through! I was a freshman at a university, I was going to parties, meeting all sorts of guys.
And then this one girl, a girl that I have generally liked and enjoyed talking to said, you meet alot of guys, you talk about men alot, we've never seen a picture of you, I'm pretty sure you're ugly and you're just making this all up.
And some others agreed with her.
And I thought, well maybe I sm sounding like one of those herpes addled tramps who gush away about their exploits in the girls bathroom on a too bright Monday morning.

So, I stopped talking about my love life! I started posing more philosophical questions, talking about whats happening in my life. I have gone into debates with people, and though they may disagree, the outcome was sufficient.

But yet, I am bland.
I'm pretty sure everyone knows my SN.
But I AM BLAND.

But yet....one of the more popular posters posts a line like, "theres a dead rat in my attic." And boom!!
I just don't think I'm their kinda person.

And I just realized this post sound really immature and whiny, and just pathetic.

Hmm...go rent the movie "Idiocracy" - Under the radar is the much safer path through life. Most of what I post in this forum I could have sold in a novel and had been sitting on Oprah right now belching out to the world all about my great self but most of what I offer is material that I feel is detrimental to be more commonly known and trivialized.

Insight should be free so by all means the only glory I earn from writing in forums is my own giggly and smug self applauding. Most importantly I prefer to be the seeds whose planter was never discovered.

So is there anything in it for me? Well, if I have to come back to all of this bulls*** again hopefully the world will be a slight bit more clever next time.

"Oh, look at you! Mr. "Smartest Man in the World"! Say something smart! (mocking) "Wine wine wine someone help me find the time machine so that I can go back home!"

But I am not an under the radar type of person. :-/
You have a very poetical way of speaking. Are you an English major?

"Quality over quantity." Content over Quality, WTF does that mean? Silly fingers.

Content over Quality would suggest that you're mindful of the material you post rather than write a highly articulate (and well formatted) three paragraph OP about something offensive and vulgar as I often times do.

And no, I was horrible with grammar. In fact my horrendous way of wording things nearly got me lynched one time many year ago.

Around your age I bought a computer, gained access to the net, shut out the outside world and was educated in Writing through Bulletin Board Services and Social Forums like this one.

Meh, worded a break-up letter wrong. The thug that was attempting to move in on my girlfriend at the time tried to use it as a stake-burning for me to make himself look cool.

My fault, really, for the choice of people I bothered with. Coulda learned a lot more a lot faster if I would've just resigned to HomeBoydome sooner and buried my nose in studies.

A BBS is a forum ran on some kids computer in your local area. You would call his/her house and connect with your dial-up modem.

Erimitus tends to use old school BBS format when replying. Before BBS software updated and added BBCode (Bulletin Board Code).

Boards would usually grant you thirty mins to an hour to read and reply to posts before auto-disconnecting to allow others in the area to call and tie up the phone line.

Back then, for the most part, you were connecting to Porn Gods, Warez stashes and prodigy hackers.

THIRTY MINUTES?
Is that how people knew who who you were? And I thought AOL chatrooms were old. :p

I would have never pegged you as a sufferer of HomeBoi syndrome.

AOL sprouted up half way during the life of BBS's. But America Online was riddled with viruses and kids phishing for credit cards. It was a horrible first example of the other life forms out there in the world.

No Simon Says games (blasted through Casios) on mountain tops going on here. First contact required body condoms and several empty buckets to bail out the overflow of Chlamydia and pedophile dribble.

"You've got mail!"

Yeah and now some motherf***er is also going to prison too!

I never knew anyone using that service whose computer was not slowed to a crawl from all of the ad and malware dumped on them simply by logging in.

As for BBS's and capped time limits there were a lot of creeps out there back before God mind-wiped all of those bastards back during the Great Operah Rapture of 2010. This ensured there were so many slimy little Bulletin Boards to log into that you could still spend most of your day behind the monitor.

I never said I didn't care with "others" thought; just not the WRONG people. i.e, a*****es, idiots, those which are my polar opposite, etc... Why on earth would anyone waste their emotions on a bunch of tarts? Unless you don't feel they really are a bunch of tarts? In which case, it would bother you I'd think.
I'm on your side here; just trying to understand where you are coming from with this.

Your post doesn't sound whiny and immature. But again, you are wasting your time (stress on "wasting" ) with a bunch of people who you clearly, have nothing in common with - and worse, who are f***ing jealous of you! Wow, can't you see that?!!
Move on to greener pastures, with those whom are your equals. They are out there, you just have to search. Don't stay waddling in what is 'familiar' when it is clearly not comfortable. (or healthy for you)
