Okay, this is **why I really go on the boards,**  
You ready?  
I am a 17 year old college student. I come home from a day of _learning, and doing coursework._

It is sometimes stressful.  
This is why I sometimes go on the boards, I get no attention from people from college (serious attention) other times I’m bored and want to come on here just to chill out. Thats why the majority of my posts are on MPSIMS and IMHO.  
_Ratty though, you are right_ I am becoming attention seeking, I never used to be like this, shit I used to be the center of attention to my friends, I have become sidelined and marginalised. So I have moved my attention seeking here.

And **lno** can testify that he god bugs in other places, too.

The Romanian language is, in many ways, remarkably similar to the Latin in its preservation of ancient idiom. When he and I were cavorting about Bucharest, he discovered that, apparently, the phrase Tog Et Sex is still in wide circulation. Bugs ensued ten dollars and ten minutes later.

Even though I didn’t plan doing this, but the more people began ignoring me in the real world, college really, the more I wanted people to appeal to my Vanity here. I’ve said sorry a million times before, but I don’t know what else to say.

This thread is so stirring, it’s as if Cecil Adams has reached into my body and poured a little bit of wonder into my soul.

A slight hijack…

> **Ryan\_Liam** : you are barely 18 and you are just out of high school. I am 24 and I am out of college, and thinking about going to grad school. Do you understand? You say it’s only what-six years? You are the same age as my little sister. You are also WORLDS away from me in experience and maturity. You’re NOT cute. You’re NOT funny. It’s flattering at first, but now it’s just creepy. All right? I HATE to hurt your feelings, but if you don’t stop this crap, I’m complaining to the admins. \*\*

You have my deepest sympathies. When I was in college, I started hanging out on a particular irc channel. One guy thought I was “hot and sexy” and started harrassing me. He somehow got my address at college and starting send me “love letters.” His idea of a love letter was writing to me asking to be his “bitch” and describing the many ways he was going to sodomize me. When he finally realized I wasn’t interested, he started sending pictures of puppies and kittens, only he’d cut the heads off. It was extaordinarily creepy.

Not that I’m saying Ryan will inevitably do this, but I don’t think you should be afraid to hurt his feelings. Tell him in no uncertain terms to knock it the hell off. Which you just did. Which is good.

Ok, this ends my entirely unsolicited advice. 🙂

The _pictures_ were cut and not the actual puppies and kittens? Right? Because that would go beyond the bounds of extraordinarily creepy.

The pictures were cut, yes. Not the puppies and kittens themselves. Sometimes he would send the heads seperately. That was around the time I stopped all mail from him completely.

Hey, stop talking about me as if I’m some sort of Hannibal lecter wannabe, and as for Guin, Jesus talk about paranoid delusions, thanks for calling me ugly, put it all into perspective. I was only trying to impress you, but it failed.  
Experience you say? Well from what I’ve heard, you’ve really had none, sorry to hurt your feelings, but this is how I feel. I won’t reply later as I fear this will turn into one big train wreck.
