What list was this? I am so out of the loop! Whatever list it was, I’m sure I was left out of it! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL! (Whoever you are, whatever this list is…) I am now experiencing a deep void in my life, now that I know that there is a list somewhere, and I’m not on it! ---

I apparently blend in very well with any form of wallpaper I might stand near…I have made almost no lists. So, damn you all to hell, except the few of you that were kind enough to mention me, and you know who you are. ---

I am vanilla, vanilla, vanilla. I don’t get onto ANYONE’s radar screen. I’m dull, boring, run-of-the-mill, buckets o’ blahness. _tapping on mic_ Is this thing on? _Waves arms wildly_ Over here! It’s me! Put me on your list! I’ll even PAY you! _fishes around, pulls out expired coupon for Arby’s_ Look! Two Beef-N-Cheddars for $3! It’s all yours if you JUST INCLUDE ME!!! ---

Nope. Had to start my own clique to get mentioned. Except by **Scotti** , the dear. Not that I’m flirting; just stating a fact. Let’s see if I can make my “no flirting” vow last any longer than my various “I’m cutting down on my posting” vows. I think it already has. ---

I like you a lot. I don’t really look to see if I’m on anyone’s list, but if I see myself on one, I am shocked for some reason that people think of me so warmly. I guess it’s a natural realist’s defense to not expect to be overly liked. I don’t hate anyone, I just tend to show more attention to people who stick out as being the kind of people I’d want as good friends IRL. The others I either don’t care for, or haven’t gotten to know yet. ---

Is the one where someone remarks that I look like the Unabomber. Gee, thanks, pal! In person, I am so charming and witty that the only reason I can possibly think of that women aren’t lining up outside my door is that they’re overawed by my charisma. Really. ~~Baloo P.S.: I’m too polite to say “Damn you all!” I just figure that my finer qualities are unappreciated in this crowd. ---

I have certainly never been on anyone’s list (in fact, that goes for real ife, as well…how pathetic!), and I don’t doubt for a minute that I never will be. I am not witty, not charming, not handsome, not terribly bright…I guess I’m just…_not_. I am one thing, though…invisible! ---

My parents referred to me as their “accident.” My siblings liked to play “kick the can” with me as the can. The family dog wouldn’t play with me at all. Women spurn me. This will probably be the last post to this thread because no one is interested in what I have to say. All I ever wanted was to be liked. Is that so bad? ---

I don’t need to be included on any old list to be validated as a person. I’m smart. I’m witty. I bathe regularly. I still have my own teeth. My doggies love me. I’m not needy. I know I have worth. I know it’s just a matter of time before I am loved and accepted and quoted. But even if that never happens, even if I’m never on a list, even if NO ONE pays attention to me, my doggies love me. Oh yeah, and I’m very very rich and I have a boat and I buy my friends lots of presents and my husband doesn’t care if I have lots of boytoys and it’s just a heat rash - nothing to worry about. And I’m a pretty good cook. Did I mention I still have my own teeth?? ---

I think I am the original desperate flake. EVERY “list” thread that pops up finds me telling myself to not even read it…but I can’t help it. I’m too curious. I don’t make it on them…or any that I can remember. And that’s…okay. _mutters to self_ I should be more friendly. No, no, I should be more aggressive. No, maybe I should work on being more intellectual. Or diverse. I should… There I go again. “Should”-ing all over myself. _sigh_ OTOH, I never list anyone myself…so I guess I don’t have any room to talk. ChrisP, iampunha…I see you up there. Are you two crazy? What are YOU doing here? ---

I too was left out and it really depresses the hell outta me! ☹ I guess I’m kinda cute, I’ve been told I have piercing blue eyes, a sweet, bubbly personality, and a great ass (although you can’t see it in my pic that’s on the SDMB People Pages) and I know that I have two of the best looking kids in the world. Oh well. Who gives a rat’s ass what you people think… my man loves everything about me and that’s all that matters! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL, I WAS LEFT OUT!! Whew! I feel soooo much better now! ---

I think the following quote sums this topic up nicely: “I’d like to thank my family for loving me and taking care of me. And the rest of the world can kiss my ass.” Johnny Frank Garrett - Killed by lethal injection February 11, 1992 Wow, saying that makes me feel no different than I did before. ---

List?..List?.. There’s a list? This makes me nervous. However, CrankyAsAaOldMan and Sassy really float my boat. (No offense intended ladies) If you’re interested, I’m just a celtic minded boy of median age. And as happy as the day is long. ---

No one wants to have sex with me. No one wants me on the survivor island with them. No one wants to know what I look like on the people pages. No one thinks I’m witty. No one thinks I’m bad enough to flame. No one thinks I’m nice enough to compliment.
