What do you know of me? I have been here for a long time now… mostly posting crap, I realize. I was thinking that nobody here really knows me, they know what I post. I make myself look like a sexist pig who usually just has crude/rude comments when he thinks they are funny. I’m really not that way at all though.
I don’t great debate, I dont flame in the pit, I dont answer questions no one else can in GQ. I mundane, thats what I do. I don’t get too close to people, but neither do I alienate myself or others. I remain nameless and faceless. Thats what I do. I do it day after day and I do not change it. I wonder why… and I dont know.
How do YOU present yourself to the boards and why??
You used to have the name B_Line12. You live in Las Vegas, in a situation where you not live with what you call a roommate but in actuality she’s your ex-girlfriend.
You are a big flirt, you wish your situation were different but it’s not.
I see a man who wants to be social but due to his previous depression/relationship issues confines a good deal of his time to on line…nothing wrong with that, there are many of us out there.
I do know that you were in the depths of your sorrow over your relationship and missed meeting us in Vegas.
Anyhow, I may not know a lot about you but I know enough to know that you need to have friends, much like me, because of some loneliness you feel. I remember you once posted about leaving Las Vegas or something like that.
Well, you gotta friend here…my email’s open to you any time m’dear.
BTW, I am not sure if I am the same or not in real life. I am pretty much me I guess where ever I go and whatever I do. But maybe not.
I can be a bitchy, whiney, snot but in real life I am the biggest wuss you have ever known. If there’s a stray dog in the neighborhood I do my best to find it’s owners. I hate confrontation in real life. I often bend over backwards for my friends which usually bites me in the ass later…all the good deeds are usually for not but I never give up on doing them.
Well, Whammo, I know you make a great Frisbee!
Besides that, I know little or nothing about you.
I think Techchick sums it up pretty well.
Vaguely, because I don’t want anyone to know the specifics of me. (I tend to do this IRL, too; I don’t let anyone see the “real” me, lest they run, screaming, in terror.) (Or decide that they “know everything about me” and have the duty of judging me solely on what they think they see.)
Whammo, I only know what I have read about you in the threads from this board! Keeping in mind that I don’t read all the threads (don’t have time to!), and that I don’t always read/remember who said what, it’s hard for me to really know anyone who posts here…
All I can say is that when I think of the poster named “Whammo”, my impressions are: 1) funny, 2) worth reading, 3) opinions are not dismissable immediately…
I know where you are coming from here, though… I’d like to feel that the regulars here know who I am, and (in general) my background. I’m getting sick of typing “here in Korea” as a preface to most of my threads!
But, with about a billion members, you and I can be assured that the VAST majority of the people reading our threads/replies do NOT know who the f**k we are… such is life! And, in a way, thus is the beauty of this message board!!!
Anonymously yours,
I know you moved to Las Vegas not too very long ago (couple of years?) and thus don’t see family or old friends very often; you live with your ex, which can be trying; you started the funny things said while boinking thread; what techie said about the Vegas gathering; IIRC your cat had a problem a while back; not too long ago you made a positive move at work and your feet smell like corn chips.
I know very little about you…but I am also still getting to know everyone on the boards.
However, we have become acquainted in that…we were married briefly soely so we could participate in the divorce thread.
I know that, from the few threads I have read by you, you have an interesting sense of humor.
I now know of your current living situation and variuos aspects of your personality thanks to techchick.
As to how I present myself…
I tend to be very passive for the most part, only because I don’t feel comfortable standing up to people with 4-digit post counts. :o
I try to let various aspects of my personality show through in hopes that others will concur and see in me a friend of sorts…i.e. my love for Kevin Smith movies and MST3K…
I am a flirt in real life, but I’m still shy on the boards…
So to sum it up…I think you will see a much bolder JAG as her post count and connections with other posters increases.
Pete Best is/was not the Fifth Beatle by any means. Stu Sutcliffe was literally the fifth Beatle; he wasn’t replaced when he left. (He quit before he died, and stayed in Germany with Astrid. I believe they also married before his full relapse.) Pete Best was one of four when he was axed, and became simply an ex-Beatle.
Murray the K called himself the Fifth Beatle, but I’ve never heard anyone call him that except in a mocking way.
The Beatles had a crew, (well, they were his and Brian’s crew) the nucleus of which was Neil Aspinall, Mal Evans, and Peter Brown. In Peter Brown’s book The Love You Make*, he humbly names Neil Aspinall as the Fifth Beatle.
*If you’re at all interested in reading about the Beatles, read this book. If you haven’t already.
