So, here's a rare and exclusive glance into the ever-mysterious past of Chant. It is based on a true story (my life) and took place approximately one year ago.
<< halfway into things>>me: "Where do you get off telling me to grow some brains? Considering I have no relationship to you whatsoever, I would pound your face into the ground if I was my father, and you weren't an old lady."
step-mother: "I have every right to tell you to do that. I'm an adult (har), and its within my boundaries to do that. If you weren't so busy saying *puckers face* 'Poor me, i'm sooo sorry for myself.' maybe you'd notice that."
*raises eyebrow*
"Are you insecure?"
*pause*
"What?!"
"Are you insecure? Why else would you be mocking a 16 year old? How old are you? 47? And you're acting like you're 10 years old… You expect me to respect you?"
"I'm not insecure..." *doesn't look so confident*
*is still trying to look tough*
"I'm not."
"Oh, right..." *snicker*
(in the meantime, my dad's trying not to start laughing. the look on his face made it worthwhile.)
So yes.. delving into the past /can/ be fun. Share -your- bedtime story too!

Hmmm….was gonna post interesting anecdotes from my past, but I really don't feel like verbally playing the 'my wang is bigger, look at the tough shit I did' game. Been there. Done that. Moved on.

-Is- your wang bigger?
SN: I've decided to stop my incessant bragging of my accomplishments. Perhaps that will improve the situation of people thinking I need to prove that my wang is indeed smaller. Bigger. Damnit!

I am suddenly struck by something. If this is the fucking dark side, I think I better be damn glad I'm a Californian Goth, where I can get away with wearing sparkles in my hair. I don't think I could take the utter BANALITY of your bedtime stories. Then again, reading them *did* put me to sleep…maybe they did their job afterall...

As for Devi... appearing out of nowhere... uhhmm hmm.. Gothic people suck. I'm going to kill them all in their sleep. The first and most painful deaths will be that of the Cali Goths. I shall enjoy using certain chemicals to burn holes through their bodies slowly, watching them writhe in pain.
There's your FUCKING bedtime story. It's the FUCKING DARK SIDE. And what the FUCK does BANALITY mean?! Kinda sounds like banana. Mmmm... bananas.
Maybe next time it'll be Bedtime Stories from the Corner of 9th and Main St. That'll give you some sweet dreams. *cackles*

Strike that down as another stinger to the SD admin, tho perhaps not enough to stir said person to respond.
Actually, in the short space of the last 10 minutes you've managed to insult said person 3 times... Damn, you're good.
Banality, being banal. - adj. commonplace, trivial, unremarkable, dull, boring, cliched, corny, empty, everyday, Chant, hackneyed, humdrum, pedestrian, stale, stereotyped, tired, trite, unimaginative, unoriginal, VAPID!
Banana - herbaceous plant bearing fruit in tight bunches. Bananas (slang) - Go crazy. Chant.
You're right, they sound the same and there's even a disturbing similarity in their meaning.

Hey Chant, just a thought, but if you wanted a real story, why didn't you post a real story? I would post mine on the boards, but I'm afraid to take up space that could otherwise be devoted to such trite and pedantic bickering.
And if you don't understand pedantic... I have no pity. You embody it well enough.

Oh for christ's sake… So I'm not gonna go look up shit on dictionary.com to see if what people are saying is an insult or not, considering that (duh) it just might be... I didn't post a real story cause that's a real happening out of my real life. One outside of finding funky-sounding words that haven't been used for the past few hundred centuries. You know what a real life is right? And if you don't understand what I mean, it's okay... I can see why.

I meant that your insecurities were causing you to post like a self-righteous asshole, who is convinced he's god's gift to cmmunication. And that *my* posts are so much better than yours.
But really. I don't see why I should bother. You've just turned this into yet another dick waving contest, and since I'm a chick, I guess I really can't participate.

Okay honestly people, why do people think I'm out there trying to be the number postman? I try to be humble… I admit when I first dropped my hand onto the keyboard here at the BB, I was out for bragging blood about all the shit I had coded, because I wanted to help out here a whole lot. I still do, but a little reminder from an admin kinda made me realize how much of an ass I was being. I didn't realize I was doing it again, but some people happen to be a little vile here, so it kinda brings out the worst in my sarcasm. So I'm sorry for the inconviences.

You last logged onto SD on what? Thursday? Yeah, that's a great way to find out how the place works. I don't like to spend all damn night wading through a bunch of useless shit by somebody who isn't even playing the fucking game.

Well well well. Looks like I built up a bit of a fan base here. For a fact… I enjoy being sarcastic. I do not enjoy pissing people off. I don't enjoy being a braggart. Honestly, I've got elsewhere I can take what I have in my head to program. It's not that much of a big deal to me over whether or not I get a bit or not, it was just in my head to help SD out. As for what Firestorm said... I didn't log in since Thursday cause gee... I had to fly out Thursday night, and just got back this Saturday night. I couldn't log in cause the ISP I was connecting through had a nasty firewall I couldn't get around. And uh... like I said. I'm not running for President here, I don't really care if I get a bit or not. Why do you think that I am so desperate??? It's not like I have my own MOO or anything... *sigh*

For someone who doesn't enjoy being a braggart you spend a shit load of time doing it, as for pissing people off, I guess you're just a natural… and hmm, let me see, what gave us the impression you wanted to be a coder here? Hrm, numerous posts about your coding exploits, things you could/would do when you became a coder... a fairly lengthy 'interview' session with Johnny regarding being a coder...
Hrmmrmmrmm... you've got me there, what did make us think you wanted to be a coder here?
Your own MOO, hmm? Oh, that'd be the MOO you said you'd more or less lost interest in coz of various complications and issues? Wow, dedication too, Jesus fuck, let's make this guy a wiz.

to Nic: Pinky.
to Ras: I am a natural at doing such things. Sometimes it just comes out. And hey, shit happens. Apparently, you need to boost your reading skills. I said 'Why do you think that I'm so desperate???' and I quote that. Nothing about giving impressions about wanting to be a coder or not, I obviously do, but it's not gonna slow me down if things don't work out. And stating what I've coded, and offering to help… I never would've seen that as bragging. It's called trying to be helpful in my book. And yeah, the MOO that's currently pissing the hell out of me. Not like I can't start another one. And I think you had a little trouble reading my post or something, cause I didn't say I was dedicated either. I said you people were.

I didn't read -anything- into your post, I read into every one of your posts and MOO conversations since you blessed (?) us with your presence a few short days ago, thus building up a profile of who (or what) I'm dealing with. Twist your words whichever way you want, scribbler, I'll just maintain the consistent implications of my replies. You're a worthless fucknut who posts excessively about nothing of real interest to anyone but yourself.

I'll quit posting on the boards if that's the way it works out. And if that happens, I'll not apply for Admin position on the MOO, but I'd still like to continue playing it. It's a cool MOO.

Anyway..
Bedtime stories from the dark side? �Hmmm... I might be able to pull something off the top of my head and write it here on the board...
Welp. �Here we go:
_____________________________________________
Nasty yellow paint chips fell from the writhing, rolling, bedroom wall, and Joanna screamed as rotting wooden supports split themselves apart from corner to corner, revealing a splintered, black crevass ready to swallow her whole. The wall opened wide, sucking plastic toys and stuffed animals into its dark hungry maw, and Joanna gripped the metal doorstop with all her adolescent strength. �The wall laughed, loud and malevolent, as Joanna's twin bed seemingly slid across the mahogany floor of its own accord and leapt into its waiting gullet, exploding in a splintered array of wood and cotton stuffing as the mattress torn itself to shreds.
"Mommy!" Joanna cried, tears streaking her petrified face. �"MOMMY!" �
One by one, her small, sweaty fingers lost grip on the stubby piece of tarnished brass as the malign entity which was her wall exerted its will. �
_____________________________________________
Want more? �I'll have to think up the rest of it.. but this one scene popped into mind…

Wow, long time no see all. I see the plots are coming along well, but what are these kind of plot developments doing in beta? if you go public, and get the MOO's total players number up, the RP tinyplot will go -much- better. I can help with advertising and all that fun stuff, and I can also spread the word on a few dozen MOO's or so that have some mid-level traffic and pretty hardcore players that are good with RP. Keep me up on things, and I'll help out as much as possible. Thanks.

Okay. I'm sure that is coming off the wrong way.
You know how I am sure of that? Because NO ONE in their right mind would turn down an oppurtunity to have better roleplay. Not in final, not in beta, not at all.
So I am sure what you meant is: "Neat plots, nice to see something I can advertise for."
We don't need numbers of players to drive quality up, just quality roleplayers.
