so wait marmot do you really not understand the difference between being melodramatic about something and MAKING IT UP?  come on, man.  why would i say the thing seemed overdramatized if i didn't mean to imply that she was making it all up?  because those are totally different things is why.

also i never really got that lj shit at all either and would never even consider doing it, but at least that was an INNER CIRCLE of people he knew well, not gw at large, which is just a large group of strangers.

you guys are some fucked up people.

call me crazy but it sounds like both mkkmypet and strangeluvs TELL ALLS are a bit dramatized. we have strangeluv who ATTACKS PEOPLES THROATS and WATCHES PARENTS SLEEP WITH BUTCHER KNIFE and mkkympet who in the sixth grade started cutting herself!!

I actually believe strangeluv. I don't mean to offend him, but Trinidad is a pretty violent place and I know how Indians can be racist towards Black people here in the caribbean.  There are alot of ignorant people down here and I've seen some pretty fucked up kids like this. So yeah.

Also, I don't really have any personal experiences to add to this topic, because so far my life has been pretty good. Boring, even.


And to headphonics and Steel, what are you guys really arguing about? I highly doubt Mkk is overdramatising, and if she is it is because it probably really affected her. Correct me if I'm wrong, but she didn't create the topic, she's just contributing. It may be true that some people won't really be able to give a shit but putting her down for just sharing this isn't very nice at all. Note, I just basically skimmed this topic, so maybe I don't have to entire thing right.  I'm not trying to preach, especially since I can be an asshole as well, but I just hope that you can understand that whether or not you are interracting with her over the internet she's still a human being with emotions.

well people certainly have no problem confronting me about things i said when i was young (psy powers wooo) and treating it as valid (even when i was like 9 and most people who believed stuff like that for a time were like 15 when they did)!

look i dont care about e-props or e-sympathy or whatever.

i was telling because first of all telling these things to people is helping me see them as not being so personal anymore, and that helps me to not shake and throw up when i think or talk about it. i've come a long way since i started telling people about it.

and also because i've grown up with GW. i mean come on, i was a frequent here when all that crap was all happening. the thing is, sometimes people here discredit things i say because they're like "you're only 13 you've never been through anything tough how would you know about any of this???" (steel, you used to say that to me a lot when i was younger). maybe if people know that my mind isn't the mind of an "average 13-year-old girl who runs around happily and has never seen anything bad!!" then you'll treat me a little better? i dunno. i mean i dont want people to not say what they're thinking just because they know more about me now. but i have always wished people knew about it so i could talk about things more here.

and plus i mean we have topics all the time where i have wanted to mention all this stuff, but i was like UH NO. now i've gotten it off my chest i guess, and it's just another fact of life now.

and to anyone who thinks i'm exaggerating or lying or something: why would i? i'm just confused. sure average girls may lie about things for sympathy or something but average girls haven't gone through any of this!
and steel, any girl who tells you their molestation story after knowing you 3 days may still be telling the truth. it's called being mentally unstable. after holding things like this inside for so long you kinda feel like GOSH I WANT TO TELL THE NEXT PERSON I SEE. i resisted because my fear of other things took over. but a college girl would probably have less fear than a 10-year-old, so maybe they don't resist in telling these things. or if they're lying, that'd still be a pretty sad story to tell here saying "i lied about being molested for attention".

wow steel you just have to argue about everything don't you? do you just regularly think "heh heh ima get this topic locked... heh"? bahh.

also everyone just so you know i've always been a little bit of a weirdo and i've always loved taking pictures. combine the two and HEY GUESS WHAT i have photographic proof of a lot of these things if you think i'm lying about stuff like cutting and whatever. and i mean i have pictures of my brother's best friend but it's not like random pictures of him really prove anything. but for my pictures, i don't really want to share them with just anyone who has internet access though so i'm not going to post but if you PM me and really want to know more then i'll show you if i feel like it.
still i don't see why i post some stuff and people react with "PROVE IT" and "YOU'RE EXAGGERATING AND OVERDRAMATIZING" and whatever.
i mean, if you were hanging out with a group of friends, and one of them is like "hey guys can i tell you something?" and then tells you all this, would you say (or even THINK) "she's probably just exaggerating."? if you can't trust people when they tell you things like that, that's pretty messed up, man.

^^^ rebuttal: is still attention whoring no matter how much you want to justify it.

what is the point of saying this if you arent implying that mmkypet wasnt raped and that she is lying.

steel made a long livejournal about how he felt suicidal about one girl who really fucked him up and the livejournal spanned for many months and in some posts he would almost accumulate like 50 E-PROPS comments. i dont think he was doing anything bad, but i dont think mkkypet is doing anything bad for saying that she was forced to do a bj to someone which is probably worse than going to court.

i never felt to post all the terrible shit that happened to me, but nothing is wrong with this.

the difference is CONTEXT though dude. a livejournal is somewhat private and created (arguably) for the specific purpose of talking about shit. I don't know or care if mkkmypet is exaggerating (she is probably but that's because it's hard not to in my experience) but there's a difference here and I think you know it!

that's the case now, but back in the day we actually kept up a lot with each other via livejournal! it really did culminate with the girlfriend thing though so maybe that's why you feel that way.

and come on, livejournal is still a way more appropriate context then a widely public forum, and that's coming from me who got in trouble from not being private enough on it.

also the answer to not sounding melodramatic is not telling people in the first place because I guarantee other people got stories and didn't post them and it's not because they weren't BRAVE ENOUGH but because it's pretty gay to do so.

well then maybe attention whoring isn't bad if simply TALKING ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS would be considered to be it.

isn't that what this TOPIC was created for?

and p.s. i'm not trying to be like "i...w.was mol..esrted............." like it's a dramatic confession. i'm just saying "yeah a bunch of crap happened to me. what about you?"
this topic is pretty much for casually talking about this stuff, i thought. strangeluv set the mood by being pretty casual. if what i think is casual is supposed to be "overdramatized" then you guys don't understand how emotional stuff like this is. it's reaaaally hard to be casual about this stuff but i'm working on it. i still don't understand what sounded "overdramatized" and "exaggerated" about my post. please tell me exactly what you think is, because i don't see why you'd think that at all. i told it just as it happened, from what i remember. yeah i'm still telling it from MY point of view (saying "everyone hated me" instead of saying "THERE WAS A GROUP OF YOUNG INDIVIDUALS FROM A SPECIFIC GRADE WHO ENJOYED SEEING MISFORTUNES FROM ME." i'm trying to be accurate but gosh man, i'm not going to be a robot retelling this stuff.

i don't know if you want me to REWRITE IT FOR HER or some shit but i actually disagree with steel a fair bit here; i don't think it's very difficult to avoid.  first of all i would probably suggest not writing it like it's supposed to be MOVING FICTION.  i've read plenty of awful things that did not read like the person was trying to play up the drama in order to, idk, get an emotional reaction out of the reader.

and yeah like he said there are people here MYSELF INCLUDED who did not type up giant posts because it is just kind of silly.

dude, this is GAMINGSEARTH and most of the people i like in this forum arent really big gamers at all. i never ever visit the game related areas of this community- the point is that a lot of this forum is more COMMUNITY driven than anything else, therefore i think it is valid for her to make emo posts -- in the same way the whole lj circlejerk thing was made up of gwers or ex-gwers.

do you really not differentiate between a gaming forum filled with thousands of random people who don't know each other and a small group of people who do know each other on a site devoted to keeping a journal about shit going on in your life?

there is obviously a difference bucko, but in both contexts you can argue it is attention whoring. steel even sometimes dropped the fourth wall to ADRESS HIS AUDIENCE, so yeah. i dont see how one thing makes it less "gay" than the other.

christ who's using the script to change all the premium colors.

anyways yeah dude there's a preeeeeeettty substantial difference here between livejournal, anyone's livejournal, and forums, any forums (barring those created for this specific purpose). livejournal, even if it is open, was created for the purpose of chronicling shit exactly like this. forums are created for discussion. arguable in both cases, but yeah these topics are always bad ideas because like I've been saying, they function as nothing more than LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME where as a journal, no matter how public, at least has the excuse of never being anything else.

there is obviously a difference bucko, but in both contexts you can argue it is attention whoring. steel even sometimes dropped the fourth wall to ADRESS HIS AUDIENCE, so yeah. i dont see how one thing makes it less "gay" than the other.

because they are DIFFERENT man. do you not honestly get it! of course a journal is something you write about yourself! that's not attention whoring that is what the journal is for. you can argue any public journal is then also to a degree attention whoring but it's very very different from a public forum by the nature of BEING A JOURNAL. how are you not getting this?

if we were to use real life examples, this is the equivalent of strangeluv walking into a lunchroom loudly proclaiming all sorts of horrible shit that happened, encouraging others to also stand up and loudly proclaim to everyone, including the dorks playing D&D in the back and that one really creepy asshole who picks his teeth with a butterfly knife, about their sexual histories with their families.

a livejournal is someone in the corner of the lunchroom, not really being too quiet but still private, talking almost exclusively with friends about stuff that happened today, good or bad.

that's not a script, jeff is changing the colors.

but yeah i never liked the livejournal thing either so idk i don't really know what to say besides YES THEY ARE DIFFERENT, NO I DON'T LIKE IT ON LJ EITHER.  i intentionally avoided reading his journal though so i can't really comment on it but there's a pretty big difference between gaming forum topic, and website devoted to discussing your life post.  i've always thought the whole WRITE ABOUT LIFE on livejournal thing was kind of attention whorish but i'm clearly in the minority there so i don't even bother bringing it up.

As interesting as it is to read over this, I don't really agree or disagree with either side. On one hand, prominent members can find themselves caring at least a little about these stories, but on the other hand there are a lot of new and not-very-active members who can stumble upon this topic and it's like telling strangers on the street.

I'm just going to not take a stand because I don't really give a shit whether this topic exists or not.

maybe i am an e- social retard and dont get all those worthless netiquettes but i dont get what is so important about the original purpose of different mediums. even if livejournals are made for writing about your life (heh platonic argument) it is still as gay as posting in a thread specifically meant for people writing about gay things.

the problem with your example is not that strangeluv does that but that everyone will think it is awkward and odd as hell . that problem is not here because the only people feeling awkward about this thread are you and panda.

it's been discussed before why this is different than DOING IT IN PERSON (all of your examples), basically you're just trolling here get out

Hmm I'll give some snippets of my life.


9/10 ( I don't remember how old I was.) I was getting tutored for math, me and this girl (11?) were both getting tutored in a basement of a salon. My mom got her hair done there and heard about this math tutor from the owner and how her daughter was improving in math blah blah...anyway we always had time after tutoring to chill in the basement while I was waiting to get picked up or my mom was getting her hair done.

At first it started off as touching and curiosity (she knew a hella lot more than me) She was from Poland she recently moved to America or something (again this was so long ago.) we had sex, it was award but yeah...it was kinda of a regular thing for a while.

One day she calls my house and my cousin (fuckin' idiot) picks up the phone, she ask for me and my cousin pretends to be me, and she says "remember when we had sex?" and my cousin just flipped out and ran around the apartment saying "SEBASTIEN'S HAVING SEX!" over and over...man that was akward as hell.

Soon after the tutoring stopped, my mom and aunt started drilling me with questions, I lied. And no ones ever brought it up ever again and I wouldn't have another sexual encounter till I was 12.


12
This is really short, more funny than dramatic, I was getting a hand job from this girl and I guess she was a little to rough and something HURT like hell and I couldn't walk right, one of my balls was hurting A LOT. soon my aunt was like lemme take I look , I was like no, of course being my scary aunt she got me to reveal myself :\ ..and I went to the doctor and it seems I twisted the ball (yes..you can TWIST YOUR BALL) they asked me when did it start to hurt, I told them I was just walking and tripped and it started hurting.

I had surgery and they fixed it, I'm all good, but sometimes my cousins call me one-ball :\ (fags)

13-
Haiti; hella fun, got to have sex with a 16 year old, awsomeness; I was a happy kid.

13-
I came back to America, moved to new jersey when I was (12ish) and been going to this new school, I got jumped walking home by some Spanish kids from the public school. This is where my problems really started.

I took up martial arts, moved up the ranks hella' fast and I had a strong sense of protecting people and taking shit from NOBODY. I remember the most awesome fight of my life was when I was in 8th grade and the 7th graders were picking on my friend so I told them to back off by pushing the "head kid" and they all came at me and I beat them all up.

I was suspended for a while; came back and I was failing but they passed me because they thought it was a horrible idea for me to be in the class that i beat up, they shipped me off the high school :)


14 year of age (freshmen year)

First thing, I went to an all boys school and guys already made me angry just by looking at me (very few black people.) so one rich white kid thought he could pick on me and insulted my mother, where I'm from that shit don't fly. Soooo I knocked him in the face and everyone looked at me like I was crazy...apparently you can't do this in high school :3

After this everyone in school thought I was gangsta' (I'm not, I'm far from gangsta, but to white kids all black kids are gangsters)

15/16

Some kid was picking on a girl who ran track for being a whore or something (because he wouldn't go out with him) I stood up for her and got my ass handed to me by this football player, but I got my hits in, anyway I got the girl, and yeah she was a hoe :\


My dad gets really angry a lot and slammed me into the wall puts a knife under my neck and tells me how much of a failure I am, I'm not sure why he gets mad over stupid shit, but whatever. I'm really indifferent to his existence. Cool guy materialistically, he gives me a lot.


I get into another fight, some guy in the cafeteria called me a nigger and I layed down some furry raging fury after a clam "what did you say?" I hitem in the abs stunning him and then just waled on his face and then finished with a kick. Then the vice principle grappled me from behind. Funny thing is he got suspended, I got detention. I was a nice guy; I think the teacher knew this and always cut me a break.


17

This is where I totally stopped fighting, and fell into hardcore girls again. I'm a lover boy now and I don't fight unless I have to, I'm always chasing girls falling in love and doing stuff. Women are the greatest things on earth. They made me realize my dream.

One day I wanna have a daughter and raise her like a princess, giver her everything and make sure she doesn't have to go through any bull--shit.


Basically these events formed me into the person I am today, I left out a lot of stuff that happened but I don't want to talk about it to anyone.

Sebastien:
Chivalrous
Nice
Very Prideful in himself
Conceited
Doesn't like weak people
I hate when people help me.

Thats me in a nut-shell. not as epic as strange or that girls name that names no sense to me.
