In case you haven’t noticed, I don’t do subtle. If you want me to continue with my obsessive stalking, flirty behavior, I need at least a :wink,wink, nudge, nudge:
Especially after that last thing that happened that I’m not really supposed to talk about.
So now WHO is being ignored?
<start drama queen voice> oh when, I ask you when? will this newbieness=invisibleness end? <end drama queen voice>
<walks away with head hanging low, tears welling up in her hazel eyes>:(
I’m thinking that you have to talk about your tits a lot to get recognized around here… um - ok - maybe later.
Hey, what am I talking about, nobody reads my posts anyway.
Besides, when I hit the post button and the next screen I see says “server cannot be found”, or something like that, it’s fair to assume I didn’t get through.
Jeez Louise, I feel like I’m going to get myself in a weird place with this …
Mermaid, you see, I’m not very good with flirting. And being married makes me feel guilty when I do it. As you may or may not know, my wife and I are temporarily separated, but not for negative, i.e. fighting, reasons. In fact, during our hiatus we have both taken solemn vows of celibacy. Now, does that give me carte blanche to flirt like a demon (knowing I shant break my vow), or does it turn me into a monk? I have not these answers.
Therefore, a subtle butt-wag is about the best I can do at the moment. But if I do figure this dilemma out, I may chuck a “how YOU doin’” your way in the future.
Don’t sweat it sweetie, I too am extremely married although sometimes it may not be apparent by the way I conduct myself on the board. I only flirt with people who are either flirting harmlessly with me and/or seem to be enjoying it. Did you really think I was going to come to CA and stalk and/or spank you?
Sometimes I forget how brazen my comments must seem. Believe me it is not my intention to make you uncomfortable. That’s why I’ve kept you at arm’s length so to speak. But when you commented on how you felt abandoned by your own personal stalker, I assumed you were ready for a little harmless flirtation and I willingly complied.
Over here! Back behind Jack. You know Jack, the guy that complains about not being noticed and everyone comes in here and flirts with him. Yeah! That’s the guy.
I’m off to the right.
:: Prepares attention-getting device ::
I tried that once before, mind you, to no avail. People are gonna know me after this, I tell ya.
So is this the thread of SDMB Insecurity? All of us who have posted here want simply to be acknowledged, to be validated? I know that’s the case for me. (Oh thank you Mermaid for noticing I exist!!)
Well, if so, repeat after me:
I’m smart enough.
I’m good enough.
And goshdarnit, people like me.
Thank God, I thought I was the only one! I don’t have many posts, so I may not win this Battle of Lameness with sheer numbers, but I bet I kick your collective butt with my percentage. I swear, at least 40 of my posts have fell before my infamous Enter Key of Death. Posts quail and flee before me. I hear this thread howling in agony even as I type. Hear me now, all ye deluded wannabies, In time I will rule this domain completely. I will smite down the entire SDMB, one thread at a time, beginning with this very one.
[sub]And I have such trouble understanding why I’m ignored[/sub]
How ya doing? I’m doing pretty good here. I have noticed you – but I’ll have to pay better attention next time - and - I won’t forget your screenname and from now on - whenever I see it I will be sure to reply - just to you.
Seems like there should have been a “hi opal” in that overly long sentence too. Now there is a person who gets some recognition.
That felt like an email. Might as well finish it up like one.
