Irritation. You know, there is only one thing wrong with WorldSims that really gets my goat. ('Gets my goat'? IDK, please don't ask.) It's the 30 second waiting limit between searches... grrr. But I can put up with it. And there is only one thing I dislike about message boards. It's when I have the last post in the thread. I can think I've written something really funny, and it's just ignored. Me being funny isn't a regular occurance, you know. When it happens, you have to cherish it. I was just looking at my old posts, and I've spelt 'please' as plaese' about a zillion times. That annoys me as well. If there is something I am particular about, it's spelling and grammar. And criticising myself. I also dislike people writin psts in txt spk. And remember our discussion a few weeks ago, where everyone said they preferred me now that I write normally and I thought it was Kristal who asked me to please write normally? It wasn't Kristal. It was Mirelly. Just wanted to clear that up. Nobody was really interested, but it would have bugged me. Sorry Kristal. Don't mean to diss you. I really love this forum, though. The people are fabby. Yes, of course I am included in that! I probably sounded really nasty in this post. But I wasn't being nasty. Just random. And I had nothing else to do either. I hardly ever make my own threads. I waffle on so much, you'd think there would be God knows how many threads started (and probably finished by me as well ) floating around. I really need something else to do with my time, instead of wasting yours. And I never mean to be nasty here (apart from the time when I first joined, and somebody said something, and I reatliated - but I won't get into that now. Thats forgotten. And everyone knows what I'm like, anyway.) But I'm nice. And I'm happy. And I'm tired. And I need a drink. And perhaps some chocolate. ld: raise: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: Does anybody know what uber means? It's either over or very, isn't it?
LOL, I feel the exact same way. A lot of times I made a long and witty post, and the next reply is something completely different! Ugh, I hate it! Even on AOL Instant Messenger, I type all my words out long, except when saying LOL, oh my god, talk to you later, got to go...you know. I also don't capitalize because I usually end up hitting the caps lock and I keep my eyes on the keyboard so I end up sending the message in capitals... Uber is an awesome word. Though not as awesome as aforementioned. And I just had a Milky Way bar! Yes! Chocolate rocks! By the way, I just noticed your new avatar! Sometimes I feel like I want to cut my hair short like that, because I get sick of having to wash it so much and tie it up and stuff like that...
I feel that way on occasion but I think I'm wrong to feel that way. I read just about everything posted, except the technical stuff about computer specs, but I try not to post a response to absolutely every thread (really, I don't, though some may disagree ), because I know I can't contribute anything intelligent to the discussion. Babe, when you post something funny, I've read it and I'm laughing 'til my eyes water, but I may not post anything because you've said all that needs to be said in yours. I've just noticed that Person123 beat me to the punch here. Anyway, I've never thought your comments were nasty and as for "waffling on so much" I don't think anyone's got me beat on longwinded. And on that point, I rest my case. Go have some chocolate. I think I'll join you.
I'll second that, or really third or fourth it or something. I am with Lynet though, sometimes there is just nothing you can say to top it. One thing that does bother me as well, which I'm sure several other people have felt a little frustration with is our story threads. I love reading everyone's and I know I'm guilty of this myself, but when you are the writer it is hard when no one comments on them. I'm assuming everyone else reads mine and enjoys it, but when there isn't much for comments it still makes you wonder. Like I said, I know I'm guilty of this myself, reading others without posting something, just needed to vent a little.
Oh, yeah. I don't post on every single thread. Most of the time I only post on threads I have actually already replied to. The only reason I don't like it is because when I'm at school, etc, I am just not funny. Yep, here I may be sometimes, but if I say something that I think sounds funny when i'm with my firends, there'll be the awkward silence, then: 'Killed it.' As in, I broke the joke. So when people don't reply, I think I've killed a thread. Idiotic, I know. I can see I stirred something up there. I wasn't criticising anyone, honest!!!
Sorry for double posting, but I have some questions. What do WTG, IMHO and uber mean? Very random, I know. Sorry.
IMHO means In My Humble Opinion, I don't know what WTG means, and I tried looking up uber. It wasn't on dictionary.com. I guess it just means like a lot or something like that.
Thanks! It was IMHO that intrigued me the most. I knew it would be something something something opinion. Edit: I searched on ask.com, and Jeeves told me uber is 'the German word for above or over.' Now all we need to do is figure out WTG!
I'm laughing now, Babe. Somewhere around here, in one of these threads from many moons ago, I referred to myself as the Threadkiller. I had the same feeling -- if Lynet posts, the thread is dead. You know, I only figured out IMHO a few days ago. The one that puzzled me for a long time, forcing me to ask, was WOOT! Because it means absolutely nothing. It's just an exclamation of excitement, like, uh, YAAAA! (Yeah, I already know it evolved from something else that had meaning once upon a time.)
Woot! I'm not the only one! YAAAA! LOL! IMHO, you're great Lynet. (So's everyone else, BTW). LMAO. WUU2, kids? ATM I'm talking to my firends on MSN. WTG for me! (That could be either, ya know ) Anyway, I GTG from this thread now. Kisses!
What You Up To? Sorry. I just realised - txt spk. And I also forgot ROFLMAO, ROFLMHO and OMG (and it's varients). Any others?
LOL, yeah, if my friend, Mike, actually rolled on the floor laughing as much as he says he does, he'd be split in two... Anyway, I need help. For ILA we have to fill out a story outline. We're not going to actually write out a story but she wants us to "experience being a writer" or something like that. So mine is in a world where all the mythical creatures like fairies and elves and vampires and things like that exist, except it's in the modern world. So my main character is Charlotte Samson, adopted by human parents with two children. Her real parents were each part of a different race with a millenia-old blood feud...but I can't decide what the two races will be. It's not due tomorrow or anything, but this is one of the few assignments I've ever gotten that I actually enjoy doing a little, so...any help?
I'm not that good at fantasy. I tend to stick to real life fiction, such as the sim stories going around right now. One of these days, I will start my own story thread. Sorry hun!
No problem, Babe, I never thought you were dissing me, I just thought maybe I said something that I didn't remember saying. LOL And, yes, I hate the text-speak!!! I think that IM and texting are ruining the English language, because young people are learning this form of communication instead of just plain-old writing notes. I can remember having a long and heated conversation over a lunch period with a boy whom I'd written a note to in Algebra class. He was correcting my horrible spelling, and I knew I was right. He though I needed to spell rotten "Wrotten". I'll bet that kids today do not have conversations like that anymore! LOL
Just to chime in, I've felt a lot of the above, and I must admit I hate text-speak, being a person who studied English in college (though not British English, as Mirelly and I have had disagreements on what's "proper" ...) I've mellowed a lot since then but txt spk really bugs me. I like periods in sentences too. Call me weird. I had a moment of doubt in my own story thread, wondering if anyone was reading it, and they were, which was nice to hear. For the record, I really really appreciate all the nice comments y'all make. Like Duzzy's huge compliment on my character, Spike. I just feel that answering every one of them breaks up the thread too much ... like Lynet, I feel if I don't have anything better to say than "thanks" I shouldn't keep repeating myself. As for your story, Shana, I read it! I just don't always have anything to say. I also read Dear Emmy and Laura Bones regularly. So keep 'em coming. I will try to add comments more often, so you know I'm there. So, along the lines of "I did something cool and no one said anything" I think the picture of Ariel becoming a vampire, in my story thread, is the best one I've taken. Thanks for the tips, Lynet! I love adding pictures to my stories now (and thanks for all of your encouragement and comments.) OK, done rambling. Don't want to ... gasp ... Kill this thread!
....no one is answering me...But I decided to make my story a modern version of the Greek myth where Hades stole Persephone to be his wife...and I just realized no one here knows what I'm talking about! Anyway, I'm just at a sick-of-writing moment. I promise I'll finish the next installment of LB soon...but I'm too obsessed with Nightlife right now!
Um, I wouldn't be too sure of that, 123. I've been reading Greek mythology since I was younger than you. Or did you mean, no one knows about your storyline? Not sure what we're not answering.
My ILA project, the storyline. Anyway, I've been reading about Greek Mythology since 2nd grade. Then again, that wasn't as long ago for me as it is for you.
