Dan, sweetie, I’m so sorry you have to work so hard. You get a backrub for that. (Happy now?)
I was beginning to wonder where your e-mail was. Good to know I haven’t lost it.
I will make you a quilt when I can make them well. I can’t make them at all at the moment as I am in a dorm room. Without a sewing machine. Which is beginning to bother me, my herbal cat tore the other day and I need to hand sew him back together.
Anyway, be happy and well DRY.
Scotti, you are definitely a sweetheart.
Yes, that’s certainly a good idea, and I am not quite so hard on myself as I used to be, but old habits die hard, you know.
And, realisitically, if being obnoxious or flirty is necessary to gaining popularity, I haven’t a prayer anyway. I’m closer to obsequious than obnoxious, and I couldn’t flirt to save my life.
So don’t worry about being ultra popular and just be wonderful. You manage that well, actually.
Wonderful?! You’re making me blush.
How am I supposed to maintain my “lone wolf”, drive-by-poster image now?
Odds are I still won’t end up in those popularity threads (unless Scotticher or Medea’s Child now feel obliged to drop my name out of the goodness of their very large hearts–but do pity votes really count?). But I guess I really don’t care that much–it’s not like this board is my entire social life.
Thanks for the support, all.

You haven’t lost my e-mail–and I’d NEVER blow you off. I enjoy your letters as much as anyone else who I correspond with. Recently, in fact, YOU’VE been my most prolific correspondent. I sure as hell have no intention of losing that.
Sorry to hear about your herbal cat. 
(Though I do think better that than a real one–easier to repair the herbal variety.)
Please don’t forget about the quilt. I need something to keep me warm at night. (Besides thoughts of you.) 
Well, congratulations then. I guess. I mean, if this is something you really want to win…
blush
Dan…
Sorry about the quilt, I told you I’m not very good at them. We’ll see when I have money to burn again. I would need to buy my own sewing machine when I get an apartment.
mrblue- it wouldn’t be a pity vote. You seem to be a pretty cool guy who I would enjoy meeting. (so there 
)
MysterEcks- You do not win. Not at all. <laugh>
Alright, you see, this line prompts me to check out your picture… HO-LY COW! (struggling to pick my jaw off my desk)
But then I come to my senses and realize I’m a General Questions type of guy, and you’re a MPSIMS kind of girl… And in all probability I just read way too much into that one statement.
Told you I was hopeless.
grin
I’m only MPSIMS because I do this for fun. Debates, important things are fun 1-1 or face to face. (Where I can throw stuffed animals if nessesary) I think I would be forced back to MPSIMS if I wandered out. Like a village idiot.
But I am serious on that meeting thing. I wouldn’t turn my back on you!
(Is mrblue flirting?)
Well, the nice thing about General Questions is it’s usually more cut and dried than Great Debates. GD’s usually revolve around the unprovable and go on for pages on end, while GQ’s often result in decisive answers, and sometimes you can even help somebody out.
Besides, isn’t the Nazi Groundhog thread required reading here?
MPSIMS is nice for thread like this, so I do come here every once in awhile.
Am I flirting? I guess so; can’t pass up an opportunity here when I screw it up IRL so often. Girls that look like you leave me tongue tied. (No, um, not usually in that way… You know what I mean.)
Of course, I’d love to meet you, if I were given the opportunity.
“Girls that look like you leave me tounge tied”
Sorry, just had to repeat that to stroke my ego a little more. (pet the Kathryn ego, purr…purrrrr…)My looks are not on my list of priorities usually. So they usually end up getting ignored. And thus are not what I would rather they be.
GQ would work if I knew anything. I’m smart, but so young I don’t know anything. I’m serious.
Do you not have a pic? The horror. The unfairness. I actually get the curiosity to go find it and I can’t.
Pooh.
Heh, it looks likes we’re crossing paths as we jump from GQ to MPSIMS and back again…
Wasn’t it Socrates who said something to the effect that the wise person first must know that he knows nothing? So hey, you’re already on your way… I’ve got to admit that much of GQ is trivia, but you don’t have to know all the answers to make jokes…
No, I don’t have a picture on the people pages; sorry to disappoint you. I don’t even have any pictures of myself in my apartment that are newer than my '92 senior year picture. (Yep, that’s where the ‘92’ is from; like I said, it’s an old user ID.)
Perhaps we should spare everyone else this and move to e-mail?
I’m very much alone. I only have one buddy:
My Buddy
I have a buddy
My buddy’s a toad
My buddy’s all muddy
He’s flat on the road
But he’s my buddy
My buddy to stay
Until he is peeled up
And taken away
–Paladin
You want to spare everyone? SPARE everyone?
Sweetie pie, you need to understand that everyone loves a lover. Everyone even loves a trying to loveher.
I abdicate to Medea’s Child, in my efforts to make you realize what a wonderful man you are. What a kind, caring, sensitive guy who needs to recognize that he is terrific man you are. She is doing such a marvelous job of bringing this to your notice that I, Patron Saint of This Sort of Thing, am just sort of kicking back with an iced tea and hoping that the two of you are in the same city. Or even the same state. Maybe instead I should be Patron Saint of the Hopelessly Romantic, but so sue me.
I don’t have anything worth taking, except things you couldn’t get.

I take my victories where I can get 'em. If I’m gonna be a loser, I wanna be the headloser.
Medea’s Child said:
What, I’m not even the best loser? Jeez, now that’sdepressing.
Scotti, you are adorable.
mrblue, you are wonderful, and your e-mail is unavailable as well. Mine is quite availible if you would like to use it. Please realize that e-mailing me will in no way save you from being talked to on the boards.
From GQ: My dad is from DeWitt. I was born in Owosso, lived in Lansing, Grand Ledge (ew) and, most recently, Flint. As for Lansing girls being pretty, I was usually too busy to notice and when I did it was a matter of “Wow. She’s a lot prettier than I am. Woosh.”
About passing you from GQ: what do you think I have better to do than follow you around? I’m a college student, do the math about how much free time I have. (Hint: I have a 17 credit load.)
My pic on the page is about 18-24 mos old. I don’t even have bangs any more. (I do still have the outfit…)
MysterEcks, you are not a loser at all.
As for the original purpose of this thread. I am feeling very unloved tonight. Blah day and the lyrics thread inspiring me to find my most intense music is wiping me out.
Medea, the more you learn, the more you will realize you don’t know. It takes a while to really absorb it, but it’s true.
As to feeling unloved today, I notice a number of people talking to you, plus you’re in Dry’s sig, so that obviously isn’t true, either. And I’m serious about that.
Oh, you know how it is. Sometimes it feels more appropriate to discuss things in private. I can’t help but be a little shy; it’s part of who I am. It’s certainly nothing against you Scotti.
BTW, have you been looking at my old posts or something? Because I don’t know how you could develop such high opinions of me from just the few posts in this thread. If I were Catholic, I’d be asking for a little statue of you. I am in awe of your empathy.
Medea’s Child: Yes, I keep my e-mail private because it’s a work account and I want to minimize spam. I’ll e-mail you as soon as I get a chance, but I’ve got to get to bed soon so I can even go into work tomorrow. But we can still talk here and keep our audience happy… (Still reading Scotti?)
Honestly I bet you’ve got plenty of things to do besides follow me around. All those dorm parties, for starters… 17 credits can be a decent load, especially if they are difficult classes, and maybe you have a job besides. But I’m not going to try to talk you out of following me around.
I know what it is to be lonely, wanting someone to hold… I noticed you in the lyrics thread and was tempted to post the “Nothing Else Matters” lyrics after you mentioned them, as I was listening to that CD last week. (Weird, because it’s one of the few ‘thrash’ CD’s I have.) But you said it’d make you cry, so I kept myself from reciting the song.
Anyway, don’t get too far down. Scotti’s here for ya. I’m definitely here for ya. Lansing and Flint aren’t that far away; maybe we can get together next time you’re home–would that cheer you up any?
Medea’s Child said (to mrblue92, but I’m a buttinski):
I lived in Lansing for a few years, and I never realized Grand Ledge was an undesireable place. (I always meant to go see the Ledges, but I never got around to it.)
Thank you, Media. I’m also not a typist at all, as the coding screwup in my previous post will clearly show.
