It shouldn't make you cry, it's just a telephone!

You know, sometimes it's a lot of fun to practice arguing on the internet. There are throngs of passionate people, some of whom have infinitely more knowlege about things than I. I often end up learning something and honing my own wordsmithing skills to boot. I also meet new peoples and impress myself with my own sparkling wit and clever retorts. But sometimes, it's just annoying. I'm not sure why I watch any pagan or writing comms at all, since they are 10% insight 10% networking, and 80% annoyance and book reccomendations.
So, nate101000, be comforted in the knowlege that someone on the internets is far more irritating than you, even if you were simultaneously voting for Bush, ordering a subscription to Creedo, and inviting my mom over to my house.
Now THAT's irritating!

I had a dream last night that Stephen King died on his way over to my house.

Everyone is getting new cats. I almost want one too.

I'm going to try to write a new chapter tonight, and this week I'm going to relearn Illustrator so I can get super fly at it. Someday I hope to have all the skills my resume says I have...sort of like attaining the weight on your drivers license. ;-]

Group was stupid last night. I'm sick to death of hearing about "the power of positive thinking."
If postive thinking really worked, everyone would do it.

Heh. Someone I work with is looking for a home for her 2 year old cat. Guess she's moving in with an allergic bf. I'm tempted, cause the cat's gorgeous, but well, you saw my list. :)

LOl It's that time of year, isn't it?

Oh wait...that's spring.

Pussy, Puh-Pussy Cat, LOL.

Hey, nonviolence works and most people don't do it...

[leemoyer.livejournal.com]

Yup!

TONS of things work, but most people will never use them.
Hell, they wouldn't use gravity or men's rooms if we let them choose.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Gravity sucks!

[leemoyer.livejournal.com]

Vacuum sucks!

But Gravity?
It pulls.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Ha!

That's telling me.

"The idea that the internet is somehow a less valid form of communication (and should therefore be taken less seriously is):"

Only SLIGHTLY less seriously because you can't hear the tone in someone's voice. Tone can completely change everything. So if someone says something mean- maybe they are just joking and having fun with you.

ps- OLDSTERS!!! HAHAHAHAH!!!

I agree that it can be difficult to discern something like sarcasm, joshing, whatever on the internet. I refer more to people who say something cruel or mean and then say "why are you getting so upset, it's just the internet."

Did anyone help you with your new Lj layout?
I use the S2, which is really easy.

That quote from me in your poll is from lullabypit. I have fallen in love with it and am trying to use it whenever I can :)

As has been pointed out before, arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics....even if you win, you're still retarded. :D

[wednes.livejournal.com]

I have heard this.
