I don't know, now go think of other perverted things ;) (jk)

Haha, that's oughta be the browser. Sorry XD.

Maybe you should watch out and start using the scroll bar :3.

Yeah, I do go in Other Chat a lot also! :P Thanks, Color Me Evil made it! I just got it today actually!

Well I may be on the other side of the argument from you but it dosn't mean I have anything against you as a person, or a poster, and you do have top quality posts; I think bad rep should only be reserved for spammers or trolls; I have had negative rep before because of my beliefs.

Yep! I just chat about stuff normally. Though, I am a skilled battler also, I make a lot teams! ;D

Yeah, I agree with you all the way! Though, I am a bit too young to debate over stuff, that is why I moved out of the argument. D;

Good, u? Yeah, I like to make friends with people who agree with me! ^^ Wow, you have been here for a good long time!

Yeah, I agree. Want to be friends?

Sorry, wish I could higher it back up with more rep, but I can't. :( I am surprised I didn't get any bad rep...

Lol good to know ^_^ it's been ages since i've said anything about religion, so i guess it's a pretty interesting experience doing it on a forum for once.. =P

I must say it's been interesting hearing your views on religion ^_^ Kudos!

That's probably the funniest thing someone has said to me all day. xDDD

But Haribo > Black Forest.

Yeah I actually like my job. It helped me get over my shyness. I talk to people a lot now. I am not afraid and help someone out if they need it. Because as a cashier you have to interact with a lot of people. So I did that. Plus I been getting raises, so those add up. I make almost $12 an hour. But ten years ago, I was making about $5.65. I started as a bagger as well. And just work my way up. It does get frustrating because I do get customers who are rude. But most of the time I do get sensible ones. Oh I am 28 years old. Yeah...I am old.Two years away from hitting 30. XD

Really? Awww, thank you. Yes I been working the same grocery store for almost ten years. Phew. But I got great benefits and the pay is great! I am just really for the next level. Got to wait and see. Oh yes, I hope to get into a relationship someday. That is one other thing I hope to obtain.

Oh you are welcome. ^^ It is very nice to have someone who cares for this forum and want to give back. Well and for that you get great perks. =D

okay i finished editing it. Thanks for the tip.

Eh, she doesn't really mean anything offensive aimed at you with that comment, and nothing was really ongoing. That message was just a reply to the comment I made right after she closed it, nothing more. You have to understand that all the regulars in the fanfic community here look up at Astinus like a god and since talking with a god makes me feel better about myself, and surely others feel the same as well, having idle conversations with her like that isn't meant to be offensive to anyone (well, most of the time) or carry anything on.

Also, Astinus loves her "wanky" drama, so don't think of it as a bad thing, but rather as us carrying out entertainment for our god.

But anyways, I'm just glad this is over now as my new drama for the day popped up a few hours ago and is really quite infuriating...

Thanks lol, I don't know what it is, I was never a fan of pop music for my whole life but like the last year for some reason I've been listening to a lot of it.

Hey, look, sorry about earlier. You have to understand where I'm coming from here; I'm just some small, shy, loner guy who pops up out of nowhere at the oddest times and whose feelings and emotions are so weird that even I can't understand why I react as I do half the time. In this case I just first wanted to write up my opinions on contests and awards and judging and all that because I just felt like it and, yes, I wanted to vent some about my experience with being judged on Serebii. Then when you said your thing about good fics inherently being popular, it struck a chord. A lot of things strike a chord with me; I'm an easily offended man. Generally I can restrain myself but my feelings when it comes to my writing and lack of popularity are strong... I've finally admitted to myself after a long time that what I solely want above all else isn't exactly popularity itself, I just want to be recognized. While some people may now recognize me, more on here than Serebii due to me being able to actually integrate myself somewhat into the community here (although I still post just as rarely), I often find myself looking up at the big name authors (mostly at Serebii where there are big name authors) and wondering how they could be so popular, especially since, well, a lot of those big name authors downright suck, or are merely mediocre at best.

What you said about me needing to work for it is true and I've recognized that for a long time now, but what got me so aggravated was that all of that was besides the point. All I wanted was to show how quality does not equal popularity, and for you to recognize that what you said was wrong. But as you kept bringing up the minor aspects of my posts and neglecting the original point, it just made me frustrated. As for what I said to Astinus by VM, you have to understand that it's all pretty much a big joke. If you'd see some of my posts in the lounge (or simply read my part of the recent Exquisite Corpse) you'd probably understand; I thrive on over dramatizing things and voicing them in the most over the top way. Rest assured especially that when I called for someone to kill you, I didn't mean it literally...

So, no hard feelings? It's not common for me to apologize like this, but I realize that you probably didn't even realize what you got yourself into when you started posting in that thread and I don't want you to think we're all a bunch of savages or anything for how some of us--yes, namely me--reacted. We are insane, but hey, is that necessarily a bad thing?
