Wait just a damn minute...

I am sticking the following behind a cut because it is clearly an example of my lashing out. I am not editing the remark, but I am slapping a link on it. I did warn you all that I am not feeling my usual self these days. I am become Evil TKO. She's the one who doesn't actually care about your feelings. She's the one who doesn't care that her beef is childish and petty. She's the one who WILL get what she wants, and she will use your intestines as a handy climbing rope to get it just because you happen to be handy.
You have been warned.
Hey!!
So, I post things that I WANT responses to for the last couple of weeks and get NOTHING.
Then, I whine for a while behind a cut and EVERYONE wants to respond?
(Sigh.)
Don't make me get out the old Kentucky Shark, man.
Yeah, my life sucks very much bad. All your base belong to us. The Whaaaambulance is here. Give me cheese with my WHIIIIINE.
But this gets your attention? This insipid grumbling? Huh-uh. Nope, go away. Perfect strangers want to wander in and tell me how to fix my problems? Fuck off. I made it very clear that I didn't want to be told what to do.
The Old Kentucky Shark says that if you don't respond to my posts about Goblin Ball and whatnot, you don't get to respond to my whiny angst, either.
Growl. So, go thou and read the REST of my journal and post a comment in a LONELY comment field, not a crowded one. Want to impress me and make my "friends" list? Post a comment to an older entry instead of the current hot one. Don't follow the sheep. Or, do follow the sheep but be aware that like the Lord God Almighty, I will separate the sheep from the goats. The goats will be subdivided into friends and enemies. The sheep are nothing more than an audience. And the audience doesnt' get the good stories.
Grumble grumble grumble.

Date: 2004-08-10 07:38 pm (UTC)I actually have considered posting more comments than I have, but usually I back down. This may seem hard to believe, but I really am shy underneath the act that extended from my Naked Boy days. Quite often as I'm reading posts from many of my friends, I'll actually push the button to post a comment, then think better of it and hit the back button. For as many comments as I make, there's twice as many comments as I don't make. Somehow this seems appropriate to me, and reminiscent of the days where every other sentence out of my mouth was "No comment." and accompanied by an annoying smirk. *Shrug*
Just my two-cents' worth, for what it's worth.

Date: 2004-08-10 10:15 pm (UTC)I beg to differ
Date: 2004-08-11 08:18 pm (UTC)Actually, Brad, this is EXACTLY what I wanted. Reasonable, well-thought-out critiques. Reasons why it won't work. Opposing opinions.
When I ask if something makes my butt look fat, I expect an honest answer. And I know that I can count on you to say, "Yes. Your butt looks fat. Maybe if you wear something flowy, it will help."
Or, "No, the outfit has nothing to do with it. Your butt IS fat. But the outfit is very nice."
Of course, if I look Smokin' Hot, I know I can count on you for some agressive compliments, too.
So, if you don't like the Goblin Ball idea, or you think it will be too pricey, let me know.
Oh. And it won't cost $50 a piece after all. And I don't intend to make it a purely fannish event. Think more like the Saints and Sinners Ball, but with better music. It's a fundraiser, after all.

Date: 2004-08-11 12:21 am (UTC)I do, however, enjoy articulate, well-spoken people who have a diverse array of interests. I have my own issues with grammar, especially after reading one too many college papers with something like "I went with my friends and we r getting 2gether again 2morrow" in them so your grammar posts make me smile. And the LJ Etiquette post was definitely true.
SMALL??
Date: 2004-08-11 07:37 pm (UTC)You think that I am a SMALL or a MEDIUM?
(Rolls on floor laughing)
Sweetie, I am currently in an 18-20W.
I am getting RID of all my smalls and mediums. And giving them to
Costumes I have or can make. I need mundane clothes, specifically work appropriate garb.
Wanna come to the next swap? I guarantee a wide assortment of sizes.
