Okay, gang. Who else has always failed to make anyone’s “Posters who I most like to [meet, see a pix of, fall off the planet, etc.]” list? I feel like I’m in high school all over again. 😉

That’s okay, the unpopular ones were always the coolest in my world, anyway. Dangit.

I think it’s because we don’t have cool screen names for people to remember. I’m thinking of switching to something like Jesus Christ, or Bug Vomit, or Twelve Inch Penis. Then when I wrote a post stating my opinions on Nietzschian theology or Taiwanese politics, people would say “Y’know, old Bug Vomit’s got a point.”

Sometimes I think you’ve got to be posting everyday to stay active in people’s minds or find a connection with someone. I think it’s a little harder to be in someone’s head since there isn’t really any “person-to-person” contact. Just makes it more challenging! Maybe people just think of the ones they’ve recently had a debate or interesting conversation with.

I haven’t met anyone here that I _wouldn’t_ want to meet or even anyone I’d feel uncomfortable meeting…oh…gee…I love you all! ::sniff, sniff::

You know, I thought of starting a thread like this but then I thought,“As much as I would like to list a few people, I’m not gonna start anything” 😉

Also, it seems to me, to make a “name” for yourself here you have to make inane statements like “My boyfriend says I suck his dick best,” insult people’s punctuation when they don’t agree with your religiuos principles, and call someone a stupid motherfucker because they think Roger Waters was the idea man.

## Fight against ignorance, indeed.

Hi, I’m handy. I never used another account to write a message proclaiming myself in one of the ‘poster who…’ subjects.
