Whenever others on here finally realize that this website and message board is not reality. This is virtual insanity and presents a warped, fragmented, hyper-controlled semblance of some kind of universe. Not a real one, though. Removing the anonymity would be a good first step toward that.
Many of us are not at all anonymous. We know names, ages, locations, kids' names, dogs' names, where they work, what their nicknames are, etc. We've been drunk together, we've been to funerals together, we've celebrated and cried together. Some people are completely anonymous and that's okay, too. Stop trying to define everyone's experience.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

One that you would give ANYTHING to be accepted in. How come you've never apologized to Chris Caggiano? You know, since you were in my, I mean his, class and all that? That whole escapade, for which you've never apologized, is really the only example of warped, fragmented virtual insanity we've seen around here. And how many times have you returned since then to try to make a run as just a regular everyday poster who's part of this community? Five?
The one thing you can't change is the fact that everybody knows you.
Roxy, I do not hate this country. I don't have a fondness or distaste for any country. I think global, hate any nationalism, and regard us as all in this together. Mellow.

I'm not good at being a phony and a fraud. Anything I've ever said on here I'd say in person. I may be one of few, but I'm real.
Go ahead, Headbanned. Lead by example. Publish your verifiable personal information. Be the change you want to see. And then you can leave having accomplished your mission.
JG2- My sympathy's as well. I've no doubt that as a family you will "circle the wagons" and get thru this horrible situation.

To quote Jane Wagner/Lily Tomlin's "Trudy"
I refuse to be intimidated by reality anymore. After all, what is reality anyway? Nothin' but a collective hunch. My space chums think reality was once a primitive method of crowd control that got out of hand.
In my view, it's absurdity dressed up in a three-piece business suit.
I made some studies, and reality is the leading cause of stress amongst those in touch with it. I can take it in small doses, but as a lifestyle I found it too confining. I was just too needful; it expected me to be there for it all the time, and with all I have to do - I had to let something go.
AND since we have now segued into Adele Dazeem's territory- I'll stop.
