2008 in one word

[All Seeing Eye]

Carrie : 1 - Tachyon Shield : 0

No the fact you took it so seriously means:

Tachyon Shield: 1 - 0 :Carrie

You already earned your merit badge Tachy, no need to make the whole topic about you and your "joke."

This discussion is between me and Carrie, it has nothing to do with you or anyone else in this thread, if I was attention whoring I'd be involving everybody would I not?

No if it was a discussion between the two of you it would be on PM. As it's on a global messagboard, everyone is free to call you a loser.

I think you're missing the point. I'm being called an attention whore, if I was attention whoring i'd involve everybody else but i'm not, it was between me and Carrie. Get it? and just because anyone can post in here doesn't mean i'm not allowed to target a specific discussion at a specific person.

Now are you going to get back on topic or continue to flame me along with Regifter of Toys? what are you trying to accomplish? do you get an award out of this?

 

[Deckerd]

Flaming isn't allowed on Misc. That was fair comment.

Because you were not seeking attention on a specific topic ?

I never thought that calling him a loser was a personnal privilege anyway
I don't want to keep all the fun just for me ! It's Christmas for everyone !

Attention whoring is when someone goes out of their way to get the attention of everybody and their sole purpose is to get everybody to focus solely on them throughout the entire thread and to continually reply to them. To attention whore is to alter the focus of the thread from the topic being spoken about so it focus's instead on the individual.
I was not doing that, I was talking with you and you only.
I was quite happy to not reply to this thread anymore until what's his face accused me of attention whoring which was quite frankly uncalled for, unnecessary and out of order. Apparently trying to have a little joke with you is attention whoring.

No. Stamping your feet and telling everyone else to shut up is attention whoring.

And I'm the one who was taking the "discussion" too seriously

BTW, what are you all doing in my PM with Tashyon Shield ? Perverts

I never thought a Cassoulet could generate something like that !

ok, right then. When did I do that?

And I'm the one who was taking the "discussion" too seriously

Relax.

They seem to think they're jumping to your defence. I don't know why though. Are you and me having some kind of arguement?

 

[suarezguy]

Hype.

 

[think]

Redundancy

Did someone already put that as the word? aaaammmm does not matter - cause that's just a prime example of the redundancy of 2008.

 

[John Clark]

I'm just going to go with:-

Typical

 

[Spot's Meow]

Change.

I graduated from college, moved to a new city and into a new apartment with my boyfriend, started two new jobs, started graduate school, got a new car, and got a new kitty cat. So pretty much every single thing has changed in my life except for my boyfriend of 3 years. It's weird to think about my life 6 months ago...in a totally different place doing totally different things. It doesn't even feel like my life really.

Plus there's all the political changes that have been going on.

 

[Plecostomus]

Taxing.

No seriously. I turned a hobby into a small business. Very small. But I still have to pay taxes.

 

[ALF]

Dark.

 

[trekkerguy]

Annie...

 

[judge alba]

crap

 

[Holdfast]

Cassoulet.




Er, I mean:

Evolution



Though I really do want to eat cassoulet now.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Evolution

Not revolution then? (as in "viva la")

I guess you prefer to "evolve" and not, er, "revolve"...

 

[TorontoTrekker]

English borrows heavily from many other languages in the world: Latin, Greek, French, German... and I predict as it evolves we'll also see more terms from Chinese (e.g. cantonese), Japanese, Arabic, Farsi, Tamil, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, and other languages.

Resistance is futile. You will assimilate.

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

-- James Nicoll

Though I really do want to eat cassoulet now.

That's "casserole", not "cassoulet".

(And yes, I know what "cassoulet" is, I just couldn't resist the pun. )

As for me, I'm not really sure how to describe 2008. I continued to learn new things at my job, though things have stagnated somewhat recently. OTOH, I met my boyfriend and have kept busy with the three conventions I'm working on (though things haven't really kicked off with the third one yet). I travelled a lot, going to Boston, Winnipeg, Denver, Atlanta, Washington, DC and Montreal. So maybe I'll say "promising".
