[2-15[12] I wish.

[Valerie]

Nah, you're good. Crappy MSPaint drawings is practically how I communicate.

X3 I think we'll get along pretty well.

And both of you: Not having shoes still sucks, and I am not going to lecture you for saying so.

What about pinchy shoes? *cheeky grin*

(I think I'm giving the wrong impression. I sound pretty melancholy, but I'm pretty happy most of the time.)

[Valerie]

Pinchy shoes also suck!

[Captain LeBubbles]

Well, you're supposed to be right, usually. I'll take your word for it.

[Valerie]

As you should.

I have a lot of apologizing to do, so please bear with me.
I apologize for derailing this thread.
I apologize for burdening y'all with my personal problems.
I apologize for assuming you wouldn't care, when I know this forum is filled with genuinely nice people, rarity in the internets.
I apologize for complaining about my bad day, when there are people with real problems here.
Ok, I think I'm done with apologies for now.

Otaking, I raise my glass (of milk) to you.

I would also send hugs back to all of you.
Since y'all are probably interested in how I'm doing today, I'll tell. First off, my BFF (who visited me yesterday) had pranked me. So I woke up to "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor- an awesome way to start your day.
Then, I logged on briefly, to see google searches of cute animals.
I received a text message from said BFF. He'd reached his girlfriend and they had settled their quarrel. It wasn't something I said, after all.
My neighbor is awake, and doing a lot of apologizing. He's also promising not to try it again.
And it's not even noon yet!

I confess that my first reaction upon getting to the relevant part was "you made out after having a septoplasty? Oo;;," which probably means I am a bad person.

You. Are an awesome person, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

A glass to Otaking, Hexr, and the good Captain.

Side note, this is why I rarely talk about my troubles - I'm the guy without shoes, yeah, but there's a lot of people out there with legs gone below the knee.

And I'm the guy with shoes whining about how they pinch my toes a little.

"B'awww, my shoes hurt my feet!"
"You have shoes? What's that like?"
"You have feet?"

Still a valid complaint. Feet people have feet problems, you know!
Also, while you are all awesome people, I would like to applaud Captain Awesome LeBubbles. Sir, you're awesome, sir!

[Louisa]

Hexr, I'm glad you've had a much better day - it sounds like it was richly deserved. To Val, Bubbles and Otaking, many internet hugs and good wishes. I raise my cup of tea (I'm a Brit, we always have tea) to you all.

(Also, it makes me very happy to be part of such an awesome board, where people are able to share this sort of stuff with each other. So hugs to the rest of the board as well).

On a less serious note...

I am clearly Buttercup.

I now have this song stuck in my head. Thanks, Val >.<

I think my favorite part of that is that you managed to guess my first name without even trying.

[Adrishiana]

Is your middle name "Sauce"?

[Captain LeBubbles]

Is your middle name "Sauce"?

No, Pants.

[Davidj]

Yeah I'm gonna just... sit here and wait to see what happens. Hopefully she'll be called out on it and she'll explain she actually met that she just wishes she had something that bad to justify being angsty over.

My money is on "I wish I'd written a story based on my own issues, instead of my fantasies about yours because then I wouldn't have been doing anything wrong."

Back when I played Everquest, that was my servers' rant board theme song. I have zero idea how it ended up that way, either.

And Hexr...

Glad to see better times are back.

You are all awesome people! I don't post here often because my instinct is always just to say " ____ made a really good point, what an insightful person" and I know that contributes nothing. So from now on, whenever you post just imagine me posting after you, thanking you for your sharing your thoughts with us. Man, that happy thread is powerful stuff

[Otaking]

Thank you for all your kind responses. Cheers. I was afraid to click on this thread so I have to apologize along with Hexr for assuming.

I and even my wife herself don't mind hearing about other people's problems, as long as they're being honest about them. They're personal, not comparable and quantifiable, and sometimes it's better to hear about the problems of others than focus on our own.

So, apparently, if Lisa wants to get sexually abused, all she has to do is get pregnant and go for an abortion. After all, assuming that this is a faux W&M, this is Virginia.

WARNING: Following those links is capable of producing rage, nausea and, for survivors, potential triggering. It's that fucking awful. I apologize to anyone whose day is ruined by it, but quite honestly, word needs to be spread, and it needs to be loud and clear.
