Um do you have a particular body in mind there Locustus? I like the mirthful morbidity of it.

Real Life People VS. Board Life People
by wanderlustguy ini have met quite a few folks from the forum, and between topics and posts about meeting so and so, and what is this person like, and the scandals, i felt kind of compelled to do a little mind dump on a topic about it and my experiences, and i hope no one thinks i didn't notice or remember them, these are just the most recent and those i am a bit closer to for one reason or another.
the last thing i would want to do is talk about someone when i don't know if they would mind or not...sorry if it happens here.. first, i had a person i respect a lot tell me she thought i was much more together in real life and was really suprised when she met me...that makes me wonder what kind of wreck i read like on here.
then it dawned on me, most of us post here as a release of things that aren't so great.

I'll be taking the piss out of you for at least a little while longer, Miss C. Oh...remember me warning you about the weeks after you got back? Do ya?
Yes, Mr bloody-know-it-all. If I have an image of you, its you telling me that, except I dont remember what words you used as you skipped away from the porch as I smoked the first 2008 cigarette. And yes you were right. I'll concede that point.
So your spot on that when you meet people they're as regular as anyone if not moreso without the veil of EGO most carry around as RESPECTABILITY
RCrusoe - sometimes someone says something that is spot on and THAT is! I think if we all chucked away that respectability shroud and said what we really felt as opposed to what we think we should feel, or something to match an image of ourselves that we wish to portray we'd all benefit from it. The real people are the ones you meet underneath the image, those that drop it and are just themselves and it blows me away when I meet people who can do that and the real person is much more human and loveable than any you could invent.

First, I had a person I respect a lot tell me she thought I was much more together in real life and was really suprised when she met me...that makes me wonder what kind of wreck I read like on here. Then it dawned on me, most of us post here as a release of things that aren't so great. So in that context...if all you read is how this is bad and that is bad for someone, maybe they do sound like a wreck. I was actually more floored because I think I am wayyyy more screwed up in real life...just imagine Forrest Gump accent with the biggest freakin honker you ever saw...that's me. D'oh.
This same person, I won't name names but her initials are Crumpet, is also different than one might conclude from reading here. She is very intelligent, and her biggest "wreck characteristic" that I could see (usually I don't air things like this) is that she has been treated like something she is not for so long and by so many people that she believes it. She'll let you walk right over her and not even whimper just to keep from inconveiniencing you. Now, to be real, we all have screwed up stuff about us, and this isn't so much a screwed up thing as statement about how much someone really cares about other people. I met her...it's real. She's supersmart, supersassy, and a great person who is trying to get her life set up the way she wants it just like the rest of us are. I used her as an example because she's down and I can kind of kill two birds with one stone here.
I cleaned my computer screen this morning. Alas now its splattered with bits of blueberry and kiwi.
That last line had me in fits, in fact I am still having fits. You are outrageous! I love your analysis. I love how you insult and compliment at the same time. I loved your immense empathy about my "disability".
So what would I say back, given you know I said what I said to you whilst I was within reach of you, and you you pathetic wretchedy coward waited til I was down and thousands of miles away? You are ridiculously modest, gut wrenchingly funny, inches (that's like 3 centimetres WLG) ahead of me in the smart stakes, and you arent afraid to get your hands dirty and all so damnably courteous with it. Its nigh on impossible to retaliate to someone subtely poking digs when they open car doors and refrain from heavy footing the accelerator after I tell them it make me wet myself.
By the way, I do whimper.
Duly slain, crumpet.
Dude, thanks for putting things in perspective. I was *this close* to signing off this place for the last time, not that anyone would notice. Mostly because of some of the mean spiritedness I have seen from some recently and the scandals (notice that I do not post much, but I do come here every day and I stay away from the BS posts and posters). I try to remove ALL of that stuff from my life these days if I possibly can. And here it is as easy as never coming back. But then I would miss the very same people (and others) that you mentioned before.
Great post Locustus. Its not all about BS posters - the majority I hope are very genuine. I've met throngs now and whilst like you I've lost all of my family to the Borg, I feel incredibly blessed by the new family I have found.
Sometimes I dream that I can find a spot in the world where its beautiful with beaches and that my new family, ever extending, can come stay and do nothing but let me look after them. This will largely involve me lying in a hammock and putting to the fridge where the beers are, or the trees where the wood for the evening fire is, but you know its the thought that counts. I hope I get to meet you and your wife at one of my international forays Locustus. I think you'd fit in really well if the above post is a good reflection of who you are.
Hugs

On a side note...I wish I had been able to spend more time getting to know everyone...but then again...who can complain about ending up horozontal with a couple of apostahotties?
You guys didn't really think I wouldn't at least mention it...did you? You kow who you are...you bad, bad poztates.
Waiting on the backlash...any moment now there should be a bit of...
Phonetic Princess here - LMAO! I can't believe you waited this long to confess. I just count myself lucky to have been sandwiched between two of the hottest people on the planet and surrounded by all bodies that had hit the floor, or furniture.
Every first day of the year should begin like that, amongst friends that have become like family.

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character...
by digderidoo in...in all fiction:jealous and proud of it; petty, unjust, unforgiving, control freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty, ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevent bully.
", says richard dawkins in the god delusion p51.
he goes on to say, "those of us schooled from infancy in his ways can become desensitized to their horror".. would you agree?.

Rock on Funkyderek
[Apologies to all for the unpleasant imagery.]
No need. Sometimes I think the reality of what would have happened needs putting in plain black and to have any resonance or meaning for those who blindly would glorify it all as okay - so long as it is in the name of "pure worship". My standards are higher than that. If my standards for equality and fair treatment and protection of my fellow man are higher than God's then why would I worship a lower life form (said loosely speaking since he doesnt exist).
