[It's Time] Movin' on...

While I was still playing on LJ, some things happened in RP that I thought were kinda foul. Things that left me wondering who my friends were, if I had to watch my back, yadda, whatever.

Once I'd been forcibly moved IJ, I'd decided two things and two things for sure:

1) I wasn't going to get involved in wank
2) I wasn't going to 'beg' for it anymore

I'd play with people who clearly wanted to play with me and avoid those that didn't. There are forty gazillion games on IJ and if one didn't want me, well, the other 39,999,999,999,999--- still presented an opportunity. I didn't have to put up with people who talked shit about me, my friends, whatever. There are rules on my user info for a reason.

Way back when, I had a fight with someone. She let someone say something nasty about me and she didn't defend me when I wasn't there to defend myself. This, to me, was just as bad as saying those things herself. Because if you don't agree with what someone is saying about your friends, you need to stand up for them. She and I had this MASSIVE falling out and a week later, talked it out and moved on. Three and a half years later, she and I are amazing friends.

Two days ago, another friend said something to me: You're one of the few people I can argue with who sticks around after. That's rare online, I've found.

She's right. I've fought with a great many people. I've also remained friends with a good many of them after. Because the internet, while srsbidness, doesn't trump feelings.

The other day, someone thought that, in retaliation to in game wank, they could bring in all my personal LJ wank and attack my characters and all kinds of stuff. And while I adore her as a person, and I do, this isn't someone I want to play with. It's not someone that I care to follow any more. Especially when I respected her friends and the things they said as well. I even respected the fact that they didn't agree with the temporary plotfix in game, even if I didn't like the fact that they came back and were nasty.

My contact information is not hidden. I'm findable, constantly. And yet, the things I've found that have been said about me and MY friends recently aren't just hurtful, they're downright nasty for the sake of being nasty. Which, granted, is something I've been in the past. Not since I've been on IJ. Not since I said, "I'm not going to be THAT WAY anymore." And not one person came to me and said, "This is how I'm feeling" or "This is what I think of you/your character/your mom/your dog". Nothing. Just back-handed, behind the scenes nastiness.

And hey, if that's the way ya'll wanna roll? Gravy. I've done the, "I'm a badass bitch and I'ma gonna fuck you up" bit. In fact? I owned that in TM/RotM and a host of other comms on LJ. But this grownup is tired and ready to move on.

I'm not attaching the wank-caboose to this engine. If ya can't fix it? Ya'll gots to go.

[The Stove] Is it hot? Will it hurt if I put my hand.... OUCH!

I swear to God, when the Abuse team sees some of this shit, they think to themselves, "These people have the mental capacity of third graders."

Holy shit, I just spent the last hour arguing the same points over and over. THIS, after my anti-wank post. My time would have been better spent seeing if it hurt when I put my hand on a hot stove.

Holy Jesus.

[EEEE!] And there was Squee and All Was Right In The World

Ohhhkay.

So, I love me some BSG, but Saul and Six were depressing me. Not that [MY NEW LAYOUT] is much better in the 'depressing' bit but OHMYGOD SO MUCH PRETTY! <3

<3's to scifijunkie for making it for me. This is so my favorite movie ever. Love love LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it. LOVE! And when it comes to the arty? She completely takes the cake. Amazing skillz, y0.

Thanks, Mer. *MWAH* I'd use my new icon, but the Mo/Mer has to take precedence, yaknow?

[SPAMMITY] I Fucking Hate Kirsten Dunst

[Dunst Backs Obama]

Actress Kirsten Dunst has vowed to do "whatever is necessary" to ensure U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama is elected into office.

The 26-year-old is endorsing the Democrat and insists she is prepared to go to great lengths to help him win the White House race.

She says, "I absolutely adore him and I'll do whatever is necessary to help him become the next president. I'm so excited that he is running.

"I'm aware that he does have some factors against him. For example, his father is African, and not an African-American, and he doesn't have much experience.

And Dunst is convinced that because Obama is so open-minded, he is the best person for the job.

She adds, "(But) I think he can do a lot for people of my generation. He's such a dashing statesman. I love that he just lays it all on the table. He already wrote the book. He's just everything you want a president to be."

==============================

Internet phenom MO has vowed to do "whatever is necessary" to ensure actress Kirsten Dunst takes a long walk off a short pier.

The personable lady, who declined to give her age, insists that she is prepared to go to great lengths to not only ensure that Dunst stays underwater this time, but make sure that her mission fails.

She says, "I absolutely loathe this broad and I'll do whatever is necessary to shove her nasty ass off the edge. I'm so excited for this opportunity.

"I'm aware that she does have some factors for her. For example, she is one of the snaggle-toothed undead, and not an actual zombie, and she could possibly survive."

And MO is convinced that because Dunst is so grody and quite possibly hunting for human flesh, she is long overdue for the plunge.

She adds, "(But) the people of my generation haven't been this horrified by a graceless, fashionless, bumbling whore in a very long time. She wrote the book. She's everything you'd expect a vampire/zombie/creature of the night to be. I'll be doing humanity a favor and dentists everywhere will thank me. Then? I'll vote for John McCain."
