This thread is unfair because now that Squiggyfm has been on TV he will get all the booty he wants

Who's going to do the e-disco

I have a large mashup collection. Some of them are disco mash-ups for the old folk.

So how many times has Zion sent in a crush request? 47, 48 times?

 

[Ruaidhri]

I'm sorry but if anyone is actually getting upset and hurt over not being the apple of some stranger's eye in a Star Trek forum.....I'll just leave it at that.

It's just for fun and means nothing. It doesn't mean you are ugly, it doesn't mean you aren't cool, it just means you need to post more pictures because people probably forget what you look like. Guaranteed if people posted their pics more often, their names would be there because I doubt anyone in this forum is so horribly nasty looking that not one person would vote for them so don't get upset.

There are quite a number of posters here that have opened up to admit that there were times in their life when depression was or is a major issue they are facing. Some people might not feel anything at being left off a list like this but there are others, for whom this board is a haven from the difficulties they face in life, who may be profoundly effected. Depression could make not being mentioned a sign that the "safe" place is no different that anyplace else.

I can understand why some might be a little hurt by omission.

By the same token, anyone for whom being left off might be a problem is likely reluctant to post pictures because of the same underlying issue.

I've requested to crush my enemies several times.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I'm not on the list either, VP. So worry not, you and I have something in common already.

*pause*

So, how you doin'?

I'm doing fine. How are you doing?

Very very tired...working outside all day really sucks when it's 90 degrees .

Anything like this will always be a popularity contest, and it only succeeds in hurting the feelings of those not picked. I know it can be argued that you shouldn't care about what other people think, but it's unnatural for people to hold that extreme self-assurance. Regular posters who see they're not on the list will (likely) feel hurt. It's human nature.

This is why I created The Mutual Admiration Society thread. It's kind of a parody of the ass-kissing/feeling excluded threads that have sprung up. Of course, anyone who wants to say something nice is welcome to do so ...

I've noticed that there are two types of regular posters on this board: (1) friends who like each other and ramble on and on about how much they like each other (2) other regulars who don't associate with the "in-crowd." And, of course, there are those of "us" in between. I, personally, am NOT offended that I'm not on anybody's list, as I can tell you, I have friends in real life (surprise!) and need no external validation from anonymous strangers on-line. That's not to say I don't appreciate the compliments and good words I've gotten from people; it's just that I'm not an attention whore, and that's just my nature, even in real life.

Having said that, the reason I participated in the Confessional thread is that I wanted to get something out of my system, an experience that haunted for a very long time. In the same regard, I sent in my list of crushes to Mr. Holdfast all in the spirit of good, clean fun. I'm not looking for a husband or wife. Even if I were, this would be the last place on Earth I would look.

How the hell did I miss that post?

I am all up for e-marriages!

Polygamy? Or what we call around here Squiggy and Cooleddie's Friday Night out?

Fuck it, I don't care about it anymore. *shrugs* I'm having fun. I got friends in real life and I know who I am...I fall in the inbetween.

Not many new submissions coming in now. Total matches remains stuck at 4. You people really just don't want to get laid, do you?

That's a horrible acusation and I resent that. I do too want to get laid. Badly.

And besides, I have already sent in my crushes.

Why go to Scotland, anyway? I hear the mountains are down for routine annual maintenance at the minute.

I don't think it's fair to call anyone an 'attention whore'. People just have different personalities. I am a very open person in general and don't hide anything so people notice me more. I don't ask them to and I don't act this way to make anyone look my way, I am just comfortable with, well, anything. I say what's on my mind and not a lot of people do that so it can attract more attention than someone who is quiet and just observes things that happen. I'm sure there are people here who think I talk the way I do just to generate some boners but I don't, this is just how I am and how some of my friends are. We aren't afraid to say things and we could care less if people look at us or not. It's just how we talk.


I used to be the quiet, shy girl who couldn't even pick up the phone to order a pizza but I got over it and it's much more fun and stress free to be open about anything and everything. That wont work for everyone because some people like being quiet and to themselves and that is cool, too. Whatever makes a person happy and comfortable is what is important.


People should never be shamed of themselves because there will always be people around them who love them for who they are and that is way more important than being on a list in a forum.

I don't have any doubt as to which one I am!
