Who's Sick Of ALL the Drama on the Forums?

Once you get a few hundred posts and go to a few meetups and make real friends in the katg world, it's no longer "internet stuff." It's talking with actual friends (and sometimes foes) via the internet.

there's no arguing the validity of fundamental positions, but my attitude's always been one where once you reach the point where the internet takes on a life of its own and elevates above 'internet stuff' status, it's time to take two steps back from it and reassess your priorities.

take april 15th for instance. drunken shenanigans on the night of keith's stand-up aside, for as cool and friendly and interesting as all (well.. most. kidding!) the people i met were, there wasn't a moment during that handful of hang outs that i felt even remotely within my element. which isn't meant to imply that, say, i run in a social circle with a thousand people in it, or that i look down my nose at people who frequent the internet-based socialization scene, but in the 13 years i've been online, i've never experienced any sort of net drama due in no small part to my efforts to keep This Life and That Life seperate.

OMG!

I'm secretly so excited newsy noticed and responded to one of my posts. i think he's totally cute and i have a bit of a NOT SERIOUS internet crush.

i just never wanted to say anything because my serioso checks up on me on the forums and would never let me live it down. (i give him shit all the time for his crushes)
of course i AM a girl so my opinion is relatively worthless...

see? misread. i'm totally sincere. the latest 400 photo release from keith's b-day pushed me over the edge, i was totally delighted by you.

on that note, i've also become a Mikey follower because i love seeing that little kid say "that's racist" over and over again.
