I feel for other people and especially animals, so yes I am sensitive in that aspect. I could really care less what you or anyone thinks about me. I work hard, am an honest non-ego trip kinda person and live a peacefull life so mind your own damn business!
Who doesn't want to be popular?!? I do, but it's hard because my opinions here are in the minority. I'm not very politic about disagreeing with people on this board. Honestly, I didn't think it really mattered. This is kind of an artificial place. I don't think I'm cruel but I can dip into the well of disrespect for a long drink now and then. I guess I shoot too much from the hip. Please don't take my seemingly harsh remarks to heart. If we were together in person I'd probably smile and nod and just think sarcastic thoughts.... Is this what's know as a "TroyBaros" now? I am dismayed that I have never gotten one single nomination in any of these categories. I write intelligently (I think). I even start a few good threads (I hope). I have started at least 3 threads that did not get even one contribution; that must be my downfall! I don't do music or movie threads very much because I don't listen and I don't go. No video game stuff either. Old fogey!!! In reality I am very sensitive. A couple of years ago, my 12 YO daughter was reading "The Miracle Worker" in school. I saw that the movie (about Helen Keller) was going to be on one Saturday afternoon, so she and I made a date to watch it. My eyes were filling up with tears and I was getting one of those achy lumps in my throat. Keep in mind I've only seen the move about 10 times! My daughter kept glancing over at me with this worried expression, like "Are you okay, dad? In the end, we had a huge laugh about it. I do that all the time at appropriate movies, but I hide it pretty well!
Don't worry giddyup, a lot of people recognize you as a fairly new poster who is bringing quailty to the table here...A lot of times these silly awards are so subjective and really based on who you agree with or perhaps buddy up with in the fantasy section...Just because it isn't said doesn't mean you are'nt acknowledged. Like I said before, I sincerely welcome posters who show a different angle to this organized chaos here...For some reason, people just don't disagree with me compared to when I first began posting...I don't know what is up with that?
ROXRAN, I am pretty sure giddy has been around as long as you have. I don't remember since he uses a new nick now, but I am pretty sure. I think most people have just given up on you ROXRAN. Those contests are stupid, anyway. No one should take them seriously or to heart. Hell, in that big one I was in the top four - that is when you know something is wrong with the system.
I'm sensitive; being female, I don't have to apologize to society for being sensitive. I try not to take things as hard as I used to, though. Being too sensitive caused me to miss out on a lot of the fun I could have had in childhood. As for posting here... honestly, it feels weird to be talking through a screen to people I don't even know. To not be able to see the face of the people on the other side of the conversation, or to hear the inflections in their voices. It feels detached and unreal. Oh well, at least this is a big board with lots of people and the things I post can get lost in the shuffle, which is really the way I like it. I do much better communicating face to face...
giddyup, if it matters, I almost nominated you as Most Improved. If Major's name was still shanna, you would've been my vote.
Hotdamn, I'm alive. We are doing a lot better about being civil to one another, aren't we? Thanks for the consideration, although I'm not sure I understand the contingency with Major Shanna. I changed my nick, too!
