4 bars!  And now my complete drama whoring contribution.  I've spent the last 2 weeks getting about 20 different tests including, but not limited too, MRI, Lumbar puncture, 37 vials of blood, cat scan etc....


I was diagnosed with MS today on top of the RA.  So just how important is this ppetty bullshit in the scheme of real life?


I'm not a real content poster so my absence hasn't been noticed. I came on tonight for the distraction of my friends. May as well have watched American Idol....


Someone pop me an email when this latest version of bullshit hits a dead end.  Love you guys but I have enough fighting IRL. I can't do this anymore!!!


XOXO Drama Queen.....





.......making the thread all about her ITP!!!

Jesus fuck. I'm sorry.

Mesozoic Mister Nigel

The thing I wanted to say before I left to go hang out with my girlfriends, which is only tangentially related to this thread but is triggered by something posted in it. And here perhaps I will sound like a Roger fanboi, but I still want to say it, is that as emotionally volatile as he is, as crazyfuckingwhoa as he is, on the subject of him having my back and how grateful I am of it, is that he is the guy who called me every fucking day, sometimes twice a day, when I was at my very worst times, when I really was losing my fucking shit over my divorce and my breakup with Boots, to make sure I was OK.

And that is a person who really fucking has your back.

Day in and day out, even when we were fighting online, just to make sure I was feeding myself and working and to pep/shit talk me through another fucking day. So even if this whole thread is a pile of shit, just to say, fucking hell, a bunch of pixels on a screen really came though for me there, and if I lost my shit for a few days in January/February or whenever that was because I thought I had fucked that up, well you know, it's not easy to lose your goddamn Spiritual Advisor. And as long as I am, to borrow some words from Christianity, right with Roger, I know I'm right with the world. So it is good to be right with Roger.

That guy, who tried to drive me off and made me cry (IRL OMG) in my first couple weeks here, is the reason I stuck around in the first place. Not because of the power of his mind-rays, but because here, I thought, was a place where people spoke their minds and if you felt a little fragile you put on a fucking hat... and also a place where people are treated as more than just "pixels on a screen". Having a bad day? Be a cranky dick, just be overt about it. Having a fragile day? Be a fucking piece of porcelain, just be overt about it, because one thing I noticed is that people would accept aggressive hyperbole as aggressive hyperbole and fuck you back and laugh it off, but if you were actually honestly in need of kindness, you would get kindness. Or if you just wanted to spew, that was OK too. And creativity... that shit was out of bounds, kind of in the way that's only OK in mental wards. Good shit.

You know who else? There are some fucking upright human beings here. Yatto, after being sent through the hazing gamut, sent me fucking TEA, which he knows through paying a touching kind of attention (and I mean that in a non-creepy way) is practically my lifeblood. So many other people here have been amazing, fabulous, supportive human beings, and if we fight we fight in the way I do with my actual in-person friends; nobody rips up the fabric from another person's life and flogs them with it, with very few exceptions. So for the most part, I don't think the forum is fucking broken, and I am going to put Roger at the headmast of why it's still afloat, after donning my tinfoil hat and my hive-mind controls. It's basic humanity, love it or loathe it.

:mittens:

I haven't had as much direct contact with Roger, but he really does strike me as this type of guy. That thing about people being more than pixels on the screen, that's why I like PD as much as I do. Content is nice, but interacting with people who actually take the time to know each other is better.

Also, much  :sad: for Khara. hope you pull through okay, and sorry the forum is going through its dramaphase  :sad:.

Aye... I can agree with you there.

I think the expectation on content is being overly stressed - that, or I must of missed something heavy. Too focused on what?

I once took someone down a peg by splitting all thousand of their posts over the course of like a year into one thread, to point out how much of a twit he was, must to say he left on his own reguards. when i found the same thing done here to a lesser extend it made me laugh and stick around

Doubt it.  No-one on this site has given a shit about how I've felt or my recommendations for a long time.  Which is why its probably such a fucking mess.

I see.  We haven't listened to recommendations you've made (can't seem to remember any, but that's probably me), and without the benefit of your omniscient guidance, our incompetence has led us onto the rocks.  How very foolish of us.  Well, we mortals can be that way.  Happened in Greek mythology all the time.

I am sad Cain left.

The drama is boring.

Sepia should has own forum.

I wish my phone made it easier to post and mek me post content.

AFK

I really have to disagree with the notion that PD's successes have rested on one individual.  Certainly, Cain has generated a lot of great content.  Certainly, he has done a great job as an admin.  I won't begrudge him that for a second.  But PD's quality is more of a product of the collective.  It is Cain's writings, for sure.  But it has also been Dok's rants.  It's been Sepia's essays.  It's been LMNO's music and quantum stuff.  It's been Cram's 111 awesome projects and ideas, it was all of us getting together to churn out a few online magazines.  It was all of us coming together and getting BIP off the ground.  It was everyone getting on board the spider essays.  Certainly, one person can end up being a disruptor (AKK, Daruko, DK, etc.), but the success of this place has always been about the collective community and energy.  I know I've appreciated what everone has brought to the table the past 5 years.  (except the dreadful hours, fuck that guy!)

4 bars!  And now my complete drama whoring contribution.  I've spent the last 2 weeks getting about 20 different tests including, but not limited too, MRI, Lumbar puncture, 37 vials of blood, cat scan etc....


I was diagnosed with MS today on top of the RA.  So just how important is this ppetty bullshit in the scheme of real life?


I'm not a real content poster so my absence hasn't been noticed. I came on tonight for the distraction of my friends. May as well have watched American Idol....

I'm truly sorry to hear about this Khara.  My Mom was diagnosed with MS back when I was a senior in high school.  Fortunately, the progression has been very slow and mild for her with relatively small impact on her day to day life.  Here's hoping the same for you.

Khara, u hope you are getting good support and medical marijuana.

Also I agree that this drama shit is unimportant.

PEAS

Too much unignorable noise.
Dr. Paes and this weird old alt are not going to be posting here again and I'm unlikely to be in IRC.
Maybe some new alt will return in the future, because nobody ever leaves, but the plan as it exists now is not to do so.
Am in the wrong headspace to dig through all the fail to find the gold which is buried in these here hills.
End up emotionally involved in dramas which are not my own, or something.

Also, what Pent said, but the poop-flinging isn't entertaining anymore.

Take care, everyone.
