Ok, the clinking glass of urine may have been a bit mean...but hey, urine is actually quite healthy to drink, so I hear. Care for some?

And have I been too mean to Jim Colyer? It's just that he's so annoying!

raggy....my issue was not with your writing style. it was with the person you portrayed yourself to be. your writing style only came into play when you became annoyed with another member for writing what they chose to write. i brought up the fact that just as you had the freedom to post anything you wanted, that other member had every right to post edited versions of your posts.

as for your problems, i don't really care enough to guess the particulars. you divulged enough in your post about all the different meds you are on that i can infer (i'm not going to post my guesses, because that's nobody's business but your own).

in addition, good for you for being in college and having a major. but no offense honey, this isn't the thread to post on if you want people to bow down to you because you are 20 nad in college. i am 20 as well, have overcome several problems (which i'm not going to go in to on here), and guess what? i'm in college too. and i happen to be graduating in june. with a double major. i'll be starting graschool in the fall, so i wouldn't bet that you are going to be more successful than i am

i happen to have a huge heart, and care deeply about my friends, both on and off of this board. you started your own problem by trying to infringe upon the rights of another poster. rather than apologizing, you wrote about your supposed superiority.

and we're the b*tches?

i don't think this board goes too far. it's people having fun and helping each other out. it's just like talking to friends online. the fact that we haven't met each other in person (most of us) i don't think makes *too* much of a difference. although i don't spend as many hours as some so maybe that's just me. but i at first though it was a little weird and now i think you're all very sane and i've come to need the board.

and may i just say, i think it is funny that i was considered one of the main three.

most of the people on this board are probably not all that aware that i exist.

Thank you Alix. The rest of us seem to get along just fine.

B_s_T, it's their loss. There are several people like that, who only grace one lucky group with their prescence. Me? I spread the love around. Can't get away.

Thanks, Alix.

Alix, you think we're all very sane? You really musn't spend too much time here! I, of course, am sane - I consider myself to be Nurse Ellie to all these lunatics...

[insomniak]

*nods* And she's a damn good nurse, that Ellie. I love playing dress up... oh, doctor, I think I need to be examined right here...

i have read the whole thread, or almost all of it and i do think you guys are sane, and very funny. your posts, as i see them, are your sarcastic/funny sides which i find ammusing. everyone has that side and i think this is a cool place to express it (b/c i am so entertained by it and wishing i had friends who were that clever)
this thread is also very helpful to many people at times (including me) and that's really awesome that people have somewhere to go when they need to talk to ppl who can't judge too much.

unfortunately, at these hours of the night i'm not as quick-witted

WARNING: VERY LONG POST...DON'T SCREAM AT ME FOR TAKING UP "YOUR" TIME!

"First of all, the Wizard of Oz/Wicked references are silly and inane."

And look who's critisizing what I write? I wasn't purposely making that reference...if I make a reference, it would be to Avenue Q. I happen to think that fit there, so I put it in.

"In fact, I did nothing wrong by saying I was "still reading your post" yet you got defensive anyway"

Remembering back to that post, it seems that I wasn't responding to you Tiff at that moment. Plus the comment about it being a novel...Do you think that was a nice comment?

"You seemed to jump onto this thread without reading any of the posts first and knowing the context and tone with which we speak to each other. "

In fact, before I joined, I lurked here a lot. And I decided that I'd like to join. I saw some posts that were mean, I also saw some that were nice...and so, I decided to join with whom I thought were the 'nice' people.

"Especially to musicalmjk, who was trying to help you."

Musicalmjk was indeed trying to help me in breaking down the posts and in the most polite way I asked him to please stop and explained why. Although, fine...I understand, people can post whatever they want...I just don't appreciate the resposting of my ideas of words when it was meant to be seen differently.

"your writing style only came into play when you became annoyed with another member for writing what they chose to write."

There were plenty of posts that were degrading my writing even before I became annoyed with people trying to "cliff note" my posts.

" i am 20 as well, have overcome several problems (which i'm not going to go in to on here), and guess what? i'm in college too. and i happen to be graduating in june. with a double major. i'll be starting graschool in the fall, so i wouldn't bet that you are going to be more successful than i am"

First of all, I said "probably" in my post when refering to that, secondly I'm glad to hear u've overcome your problems and graduating in June with a double major. And I wish you good luck in grad school. As for the 'being more successful', so- it may take me longer...you also don't know what I've gone through in my life to get to where I am now. For all you know I could have been raped, mugged, shot, been very ill, had my house burn down, been in a classroom with a gun, been in the twin towers right before they collapsed....you could go on forever. Now, I know I don't know what your problems are, but you don't know mine either so maybe being in college for me is a huge success; Making it this far for me, maybe making it to be the president of a huge company for someone else. It's all relative...nobody is the same. Nobody is going to reach the same goal at the same time.

" i think it is funny that i was considered one of the main three."

Hey- you may think it's funny that you were considered one of the main three but since I did not specifically identify you in my post, you cannot tell me that I was refering to you. I'm not gonna lie- yes, you were one of them but from what I wrote, there was not 1 mention of you as being one of the 3.

And to tell me that you have a heart, just appalls me. With all of this making fun of me, I sure don't see any type of heart. You say you have a heart for people you care about and love...but a heart doesn't mean you have to like someone, it means you've got to respect them.
And if you actually took time to read my other posts, you may have gotten some insite from them instead of just b*tching about how long they were. You took up a lot more time posting about it being ridiculous than you would have just simply reading it and maybe getting some heart from it.

You seem to neglect the fact that every single other person on here (including the "nice" ones) don't seem to have a problem with either b_s_t or myself. Well, you know what they say. If it seems like everyone else around you has the problem, it is probably you. If your skin's too thin to take the heat, get the hell outta the kitchen.

Aw, now I feel slightly guilty...
*remembers clinking urine*
Oh sorry, it was just nausea...

Good night mjk. Did you pick your essay topic yet?

Ellie, do you mean you get nauseous or you start clinking urine when you have to read too much?

[Ellie3]

Posted: 1/21/05 at 12:21am

No, no, I thought the emotion I was experiencing was guilt, but it turned out to be nausea...see, I'm unfamiliar with this 'guilt'. *shrug*

Raggy-

I read your posts.

Every single word. At no point did I say I had not read them. Therefore, according to your logic

And I do have a heart, and I care deeply for a great many people. But that is something that has to be earned. What have you done to deserve it?

And I’m not a moron. Figuring out that I was one of the main three was easy. There were very few people on here at that point.

And you're right; I don't know what you've been through. But just the same, you don't know what I’ve been through. Just because you've pissed me off by belittling me and my hard work, I’m going to tell you some of it. The vast majority of the people on here don't know any of this, because I don't like to bring it up. It’s in the past, and I am a stronger person for having dealt with it. But really, **** you. You don't know me or where I am coming from:

Over a period of a year, I had an eating disorder, lost my best friend to cancer, lost a close cousin to suicide, attempted suicide myself, and was almost kicked out of school. I also come from a very f*cked up household, have not been on speaking terms with my mother for the past 4 years, and am entirely financially self-sufficient. So don't belittle my accomplishments.

Finally, what type of "insite" (if you’re such a writer, you might want to learn to spell) am I supposed to gain from the idiotic ramblings of an egotistical child?

b_s_t, you have a point. But don't feel the need to prove yourself to someone like Raggy. The people who *count* know and appreciate your accomplishments support you and care for you. You don't need to explain nuthin' to Raggy. Which is why I won't either.

We've all got our stories. And many of us know each other very closely on here. Some stranger can't pull a pity party and expect us to respond in spades. It just won't happen.
