If You All Fucking Hate Me...

RATH,

read your email.

You're a good guy, Rath.

We love you. Even your brother. wink

I LIKE you Rath.

I HATE crap like this.

Keep it in PM. Why even come near repeating the crap from last week?

Rath, you are just fine. Relax. Get a bit of the CHUD sensibility, and keep in mind: if you reveal things in your life, you are putting it out there for response ... and there's no guarantee it'll be favorable. Your events have been rife with humor ... even though you're too close to said events to see that. Also, you have to admit you've had some difficulty with honesty around these parts ... all grist for the mill, you know?

You're confusing me, feller.

Rath. Dude.

You're coming to New York, right. When you get here, do a NYC thing and start seeing a therapist. You'll start feeling better about yourself. And who knows, maybe you'll end up being the next Woody Allen.

Come on, we're trying to cheer the guy up, not depress him again.

Anyhow, I like you a lot Rath....you're a creative guy and the fact that you say what you feel and mean sometimes might come across the wrong way to other people. But it's that open-ness that makes you unique, so don't worry about it.

God I hope not. No offence Rath, but I hate Woody Allen.

God no. Not Woody Allen. He sucks.

But I'm curious about this "tell me what you think about ME" type thread thing. There is a lot of it going on. It's completely alien to me - I mean, you can see a person's personality through their posts, granted, and get a lot of nice acquaintance type banter going on, but this is the Internet, after all. I *don't* know these people. They are NOT your friends.

You're not my friend until I've seen the whites of your eyes.

"But I have met some of them and do know some of them in real life!" some may feel compelled to cry.

Then ask them in real life.

Maybe it's a cultural American thing, but I find this sort of public soul-bearing very strange. No fucker sees my soul without a ticket. Assuming I have a soul, of course.

Actually, I will have to disagree with you Alice. Given that my only friendships outside of my immediate family are fostered through this site, I would say that friendships and opinions here can and very often do matter to me in real life. I felt a bit sheepish after posting my "I don't belong" thread, but at the time I did it I was feeling very alone and I needed the reassurance that my firneds here still were around and accessible.

To some, this is an annonymous hidey-hole where people can pretend to be anything they want without fear of consequence. To others, myself included, I am how I post. I am the exact same person here as in the Real World ®. I honestly don't care what any of you look like in real life or if I get the chance to meet you face-to-face.

I feel like I have made meaningful bonds here without that.

The people who call me friend here are Princes and Princess' among men and women (respectively), and even if I should never get the opportunity to meet them, they will have forever left a mark on my life. There are so many great people here Alice. You have reservations about 'baring your soul' to them, and I can appreciate that. But don't write us off because you can't see us.

The reality is most people ARE like how they post in real life. Flirting and boasting aside, I fully expect that Blofeld would be a charming man to meet, or that I would fall madly in love/lust with Diva if I weren't already married. Open yourself up to the collective here and there's no telling what positive effects it could have on your life. At the very least it would be interesting...

Flirting and boasting?

Alice, email me and tell me what you think of me. On second thought I get enough abuse around here anyway. Nevermind!

Blofeld is actually an arrogant bastard with a Jesus Complex. But who am I to judge? wink

Yeah, but its true what Ludwig says, I am exactly like I seem to be on the boards in real life. I am just a sweet, sensitive guy. Belch!

I have to day, it seems a little like fishing for complimnets to me to post a thread and ask what people think about you. I don't care if someone does, but there are some people out there who would rip your asshole out through you mouth, if given the chance. Why give them the chance?

Email those you like or IM them. Ludwig does it to me when he is feeling mean and then he rips on me until he feels better. I don't mind because I am a sensitive fella. riiiiiiiiiip!

Matt,

Srry, wasn't targeting you directly (damn this no-edit feature) Some people here come to flirt and/or brag and do little else. Some people flirt but also talk/offer advice/etc. like yourself. In my inefficient way of communicating, I meant to say outside of the people who are obvuiously here to do only that (and thus are usually not being themselves or honest with people), there are others whom I KNOW if I met them in real life would be exactly like they are here. Like you.

Although I do thing you are an arrogant prick with a Jebus complex.

Ludwig,

I am not discounting the notion that the interactions here, and the people I speak to, and the stuff that gets talked about has a positive and interesting contribution to make to my life. That's why I come here.

Maybe we disagree on the definition of "friend". I don't truly feel I know someone till I've been able to look at their face while they're talking.

I'm not someone with a huge social circle myself. I'm intending no disrespect to anyone here, or their definition of "friendship". To some people, your friends are people you have friendly bonds with, who you regard with mutual good will, whose opinion you trust, who make you laugh.

To me, my friend is someone who *knows* me, in the midst of my talents, flaws, contradictions and inconsistencies, and likewise. If 95% of all communication is non-verbal, then someone, somewhere, is going to have to look at me in order for me to communicate with them.

On the other hand, I can be schooled in this matter. People fall in love through letters, through the Internet, form great partnerships, work collaboratively on artistic ventures... I'm just saying that I, AliceInWonderland, who is a Wage Slave, would hesitate to call someone a friend until I've looked into their eyes. It's that simple.

Now's the point where you can all pound on me for being old-fashioned.

I yam who I yam, too.

I'd like to be friends with Ludwig. But, geez, he plays the french horn for cryin' out loud!

Oh so it's stooped to French Horn bashing has it motherfucker? Horn RULEZ DA FUKIN' ORCHESTRA BITCH!

Alice,

Now I'll act like a typical Internet denizen...

"I would love to pound you baby!"

I understand what you mean, and yeah, there is a school of thought that says you can't really communictae with someone unless you are face-to-face. I disagree with the idea myself, but maybe I'm just not as open as I could be with people and that could be allowing friendships to prgress only so far. I am very close to my wife and kids, and having that in my life may make close friendships hard to forge, as for the longest time Lisa and I have been each other's best and ONLY friends.

Although I concede the french horn section always adds a very regal and powerful voice to the orchestra, it doesn't not negate the fact that SAXOPHONEZ RULEZ, FRENCH HORNZ DROOLZ!

The Sax rules all, bitches!

I'm just glad you don't play the Clarinet. I'd have to cock punch you if you did.

Actually, to complete my hijacking of this thread, there is a certain amount of spit and drool you have to endure as a Horn player due to spit flying out of the bell onto your hand and having to empty like three sets of tubing to get the spit out. In that respect, Horns do in fact drool. But I have only known one classical sax player, and she was a fucking nutjob. Sax belongs in Jazz.

I've never seen a sax section in an orchestra. I say there should be one. I was actually talking about the french horn with my wife the other day. I decided I would never have been able to play it properly because my stubby hand would not be able to get the right pitch out of the bell.

we now return you to your regularly scheduled thread...

Dontcha love selective post reading? I do it all the time.

Will, this is not the correct forum for this discussion. The SEX forum is <a href="http://chud.nexcess.net/board/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=52&DaysPrune=10" target="_blank">here.</a>

Ludwig, well, yeah, but you only need a few good men around you in the friends stakes. If you're friends with your wife, then all the more cause to rejoice, because there are plenty who aren't friends with their spouses.

Will! Looks like I already said nice things about you! wink

Yes you did. And here I was all worried that nobody liked me. wink

I kind of remember sex. It was that thing I used to do when I was young, right? Its what Ludwig did with the plastic reindeer, if I remember.

I seem to recall that I enjoyed that a great deal.(NO, not what Ludwig did, what I remember doing)

Okay, now I remember! It was the SAX I used to do when I was young. That OTHER thing I still do.

This thread has gotten really pornographic. Keep going!

There's not much we woodwinds could do for spit. Basically ram the cleaning rod down the neck and hope you clean most of it out. The other downside to woodwinds are the reeds, I think. Besides having to suck on them all the time to keep them wet enough, sometimes they'd split when you are doing a piece with rapid tonguing and that hurts. eek! eek!

Speaking of rapid tounging. Those years of playing the Sax really pay off performing fellatio.

Gals, line up. I could go all night with this thing. hehe wink

Yes, but I do not want to see it when you have to turn them upside-down to drain the spit.

I think you mean cunnilingus. Fellatio is when you toot on a man's winkle.

I didn't want to assume on billy's batting preferences, so I didn't correct him. But I have to say your description of the good ol' BJ is hilarious.

Ahh, I'm a dumbass.

No edit feature = Permanent thumb in anus.

Well, maybe he knew what he was posting sort of tooting his own horn, you might say. Or maybe he meant when a woman has studied the sax for many years. If there are any such women out there, email me right away!

The best sax player in class was a girl. She was totally hot, too. I asked her out and totally got shot down. Oh well. I wonder what she's doing now, she was really smart...

In the spirit of this thread:

*AHEM*

Alice show us your knickers!!!!!

Continuing in the spirit of this thread...

*AHEM*

What if I'm not wearing any? wink

Then flash Django the gold and he'll loan you his...

In a few days or so I am going to do a full essay type post either here or in Free form about what this place has become to many of us and why we cant treat it like any old messageboard because all we are going to get is threads of no real meaning such as this.

Stay tuned and hope it changes the view of some on how we view each other here on CHUD.

Twice a week would be a good idea then.

eek! You naughty girl.... You should be spanked. eek!
