I know you are/were Infinity (as most here do), you are young and impressionable. You say "What the fuck?!" about the MOST popular game going hands down, "Guitar Hero", so what does that say? Hmm maybe you don't get out too much, live a shut in, behind the computer life, as evidenced by your MASSIVE amount of posts here! Now that being said, I have no problem with that, don't care one way or another, have no problem with you wic/infin, and never did. So there you have it in a nut shell...that's what I was "trying to say".
Honestly, though, I'll admit I did used to be a decent amount more annoying. That wasn't on account of me trying intentionally, it was based of the fact that I was extremely immature, as several people stated. But, time passed, and I grew up so to speak. At least enough that I avoided some of the things that have pissed people off in the past.
Alright Infin, let me clue you in on a few things.....
You're not a bad person, you're OK.
You are still young and learning "the ropes" of life so to speak, since most here know that, you get cut some slack. (consider yourself lucky for that) Time has passed and you've grow up? Not! Don't try to grow up too fast anyway dude, all the bullshit of being "older" will still be there, like the grim reaper, waiting patiently for you.
I'll be perfectly honest with you (I speak for myself here) and tell you what I think "annoys" people the most.... Probably numero uno would be the machine gun commenting you do, you seem to carry on a conversation with yourself. What that will get you is no real discourse. As wiccanmartyr you have shown just a touch of "growing up so to speak" but Infinity has still shown brightly through.
As youngsters do, they tend to brag a little bit, which is fine, but think about that..i.e. think before you comment. You are just like one of my sons, spontaneous, bright, funny, pain in the ass, very computer savvy, but he has ADHD. Which in some ways is a plus, but in other ways....a tough, long, uphill life ahead. I hope this is not the case with you and it probably isn't.
One other potential area that needs "attention", is the "doing battle" with your peers here. In the words of Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood)...
"A man's got to know his limitations", that would be intellectually here in Glumbertville.
So my freind, the advice I have for you would be.... Don't try to grow up too fast, just be yourself, no need to "pump up" your image...maybe keep the comments down a touch, unless of course you're in a continuing string AND contributing to it in an appropriate manner.....choose your battles wisely and learn to ignore certain issues and people that get your goat.
And, I'm going to post again, I'm no shut in. I have ways of getting on here, and, quite frankly, the only reason I post so freakin' much is because I'm impatient, and think that if I post something for you guys to respond too, you will. (The above was from earlier, I just decided not to say it right away.)
The first thing I warn people, somewhat jestingly, about myself when I meet them over the internet is that I talk a lot. Number two is that I have a pride issue. I'm aware of it, but at least as far as the pride thing goes, I can't do all that much about it. I'm not really trying to grow up to fast, I'm just saying, especially for my real-world acquaintances, they've noticed a difference. The thing about fighting... I've always liked fighting, I suppose. Mostly verbally, because my peers could never come up with the things I did. They mostly wound up resorting to the classic "your mom" spectrum of insults and comebacks, while I would try for the most part to say something original. (bragging) Although that in itself was likely irritating.
Anyway, miter... if there was one thing there that I should definitely apply, it's the bit about "machine-gun posts". If I try, I can probably manage that a least a bit more than I have recently.
To everyone else: Over the last few months, I've been trying to patch things up with some of the people that previously despised me. I haven't done all that great a job here, because I was still hiding under a thinly-disguised alias. I've apologized a few times, to a few different people, but some will likely never forgive me. For the other people here, I sincerely hope that I didn't push it too far. Buttocks... whoever you are... I'm not holding any grudges. Should you ever decide that I'm worth another chance, it would be greatly appreciated.
Infant..........don't feel particularly exposed....in fact, I, as you know, were completely taken in by your pseudo personna.
Age is no barrier to naivite, it seems. And we share a blithe ignorance, yours in pretense, and mine in acceptance.
I like mine better.
Hope you continue in real exchanges. I'll continue to be fooled, but that's not really harmful. Sorry you were the fake wicca...neat personna, and others will quickly replace it.
Oh hey wic, want to see a real live (I mean dead) murder scene I came upon in the woods? (see my profile pic) It was years ago, back in the 35mm film days but I did manage to snap a picture before getting kicked outta there!
Here's the story, I was out hunting back in Nov. 1986, as I came down the Huron river, right at Huron River Dr, and the Zeeb road bridge I noticed something bright red just under the water, caught up in some tree roots. I "scoped" it with my shotgun and was disturbed to see it was a young woman. Knowing she was dead, I got my butt home (I lived nearby), called the Sheriff, grabbed my camera and went back. This is what I saw...the story was, she was a prostitute from a nearby town (Ypsilanti) and was thrown off the nearby bridge for "snitching" to the cops. I guess she died of exposure and or drowning. The murderers were caught.
She was the third dead body I have discovered in my life (other than in my paramedic days), oddly enough two were in the same river and one was about 100 yards from it. The shit I've seen in my life!
