I confess.....

Post Reply New Topic

I confess, I think Icarus_Falling's last post was way too long, and so I didn't even bother reading all of it.

I confess that I would rather read his long post (which I did) than your post.

Oh good grief. Yet another attention deficient human whining about how long my posts are. Gee, I haven't heard that before. If you have trouble reading more than a sentence or two, skip my posts (duh). [AND THAT GOES FOR EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH POSTS CONTAINTING MORE THAN 10 OR SO WORDS.] And bother not about whining about it; you waste everyone's time by doing so, for I am immutable; your betters have already tried to change me, and failed. Now, run along, try to learn some physics, and then maybe you can explain to us simpletons what "science" is, and eventually even maybe "debunk" something. I'll be waiting with bated breath. Bye.


Thank you, my friend, my brother. As I've mentioned previously, and the noobs seem unaware of, is that I write for just a small few, and am content to do so, despite the constant whining. I am honoured to write for you. For every simpleton who complains, there are several who say they like my stories and ramblings; and I will continue to write them, for you, for my other friends, as best I can. I confess, this makes me feel all the worse for that time I got confused and grew angry with you. I learned recently how much we really do share that unfortunate aptitude for scaring and offending people when we mean not to. Since you're in my neighborhood, I continue to extend my invitation to get together sometime and revel in our geekery. Perhaps birds of a feather really should stick together.

I confess that I am capable of plowing through Icarus' posts. Capable enough even to notice when he makes a spelling error. I confess that frequently I have to restrain myself from publicly correcting people's posts.

There is no "i" in bated breath. (Unless there was a pun there that I missed, if not, please don't take it personally that I like to harp on grammar, I live in Texas where it is all too easy to victimize people with a grammar hammer)

I'll give you a pass for putting two p's in aptitude this time, we all make those mistakes sometimes.

I confess, really... I'm a horrific speller. I mean, really, horrible. It has do to with dyslexia, I think, which I have more than a touch of; the order of letters has always given me trouble; there are times when I can be staring right at a spelling error I know of, and not even see it. And though I'm sure I sometimes make myself seem like a dumbass, I worry not to much about it, because I know that spelling ability has little to do with intelligence, with knowledge, with experience, with wisdom. And, beyond misspelling, I often make typos too, especially when I'm in a hurry. Depending on what computer I'm using, I try to spell-check my posts. Right now, I'm on my old, barely working laptop downstairs (It has a goofy keyboard too!), with little more than a browser on it. Normally, I paste my posts into Outlook so that it can find the zillion spelling errors I make. No, the "i in bated breath was an error, nothing more. But I appreciate your patience. And, though I tire of people complaining about the length of my posts, calling me on corrections in grammar or spelling are not something that I mind, for those are true, albiet simple errors. Those are the kinds of things I appreciate. ("Um, dude... It's you're, not your." ) Ugh... You know... I think I'll stick Word or Outlook on this computer tomorrow.

You had asked me about my darker avatar, but I was feeling bad about posting in KingCrimson's thread, so I let it lie... I've not gone emo; there is a different meaning behind it, which, I confess, is largely a matter of recenly experienced serious emotional damage. Yes, a darker me is part of the change. But, also... That though I came back, I am different than before; parts of me have been... damaned, lost. Other parts that have long been dormant have been re-activated. My faith in humans has been seriously diminished, which is something I think you can relate to (I remember you old signature). It is a complicated tale, and one for another day. I struggle back to where I was... But the Icarus I am not is not the Icarus who I was before.

I confess that I was up in good time, downstairs by 7am, done breakfast by 7:20am and ready by now, heh

I confess that as a hyperlexic I should be more patient with dyslexics, that said, my punctuation problems are nothing to envy.

Good thing Icarus has enough self confidence not to take it personally, I think... I can't speak for him, for all I know he's silently seething.

It's refreshing to see somebody with a memory. Most people don't even notice sigs, although I think my current signature still displays my (sarcasm) immense respect for humanity.

I don't think you were around when I was the resident homicidal maniac. Back then my signature was something like "They think they know who I am, All I know is I love to kill, Face down dead on the ground, Find me before another is found."

I confess that I feel like utter s**t right now, thanks to a certain someone.

Me? If it was I was only trying to help, I hope you didn't read my post wrong.

No! Not you! Anubis. >.<

I confess that I are paranoid.

So am I. D:

Thirded. Mildly so, but at least I can recognise that I am paranoid....

My mum noticed that I'm paranoid, but she doesn't care.

I confess that I'm addicted to Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends.

From my MySpace page:

"I do not need to always be right; when I find that I am wrong, I learn something - when I’m right, I learn nothing. One of my greatest fears is being wrong and not realizing it. Please do me the honour of letting me know when you think I’m wrong. If I turn out to be wrong, I will thank you; if I do turn out to be right, please don’t hold it against me. "

And I mean that. I do not wish to be incorrect, on thiings where there is a correct or incorrect. Spelling is a good example. If I spell a word incorrectly, I'd rather somebody say something and help me better myself, than remain silent. I went back and corrected the two errors you metioned for example, and am happy that my writing is more correct now. I am in your debt. For some things, "correct" or "incorrect" is less clear; philosophy, religion, etc. For those things, I seek to respect other people's beliefs, and be comfortable at a place where we might agree to disagree. Such a place bothers me not. And then there just comes meaningles opinion for the sake of being difficult. Oh, RadientAspie thinks my posts are "too long", and feels compelled to complain. What is "too long" where does that come from? Why bother people with that? I might just as well post, I confess that RadientAspie's handle is presumptutous and annoying; I might even be compelled to challenge him to prove scientifically that he is in fact "radient", which I have seen no evidence of. But what a stupid trifle to bother people about. Such things annoy me. I might as well complain that everyone else's posts are "too short", so I skip them for lack of depth and substace. And most people would love to hear that, it'd bring great productivity to the forums, right?


My memory is not all that great; but it is for things that catch my attention. I remember your old sig, because it always resonated with me; I have serious problems with humans. I often want them all destroyed. And it has not escaped my attention that there are many on the WP like that. But, as I remember that sig, I know that when I mention losing faith in humanity, you will likely truely be able to understand what I mean, and I appreciate that...


I confess, no, I did not know about you being the residential homicidal maniac. But, I also confess that you saying so raises you in my esteeem all the more. I've been worried about being pegged so myself, more than once. My dark, derranged, murderous ramblings of yore... More than once I've talked about wanting to destroy all humans, kill everyone, blow up the planet... In fact, very recently a formly very close and trusted friend even said I remind them very much of a domestic abuser, though I've never, ever, done such a thing, and never will. And that misunderstanding makes me loathe humans all the more; I am beyond their understanding, and they are vile, alien creatures to me...

I do make some exceptions; some friends I have in life, a few here I have grown close to and respect. But generally speaking, the human race is a constant dissapointment, something I honestly believe best destroyed, and already on that path with no help from me.

I yearn for Ragnarok.

Ragnarok? Do you listen to GWAR? Or does that have another meaning I am not aware of, because in that context it seems to be like Armageddon.

RadiantAspie must not remember ZanneMarie. Some of her posts were just a tad shorter than Russian novels, and they were impressively devoid of fluff.

I confess that I am royally sarcastic and that was evident when I said "I think... I can't speak for him, for all I know he's silently seething. " I was making a point about how I can't know for sure what someone else thinks, but I confess I was being cheeky.

I take it you are somewhat new to misanthropy? You still seem to talk about it like it's a bad thing. One of the most ironic things about it is that it makes me more personable. I very rarely take anything personally because when I am wronged I don't hold it against the person because in my mind "well, what did I expect? This is a human I'm dealing with." I find that having had it with humanity has made me feel as uninhibited as a woman who refuses to wear a bra, especially about political correctness. I do have to be careful not to bash the so called "virtues" of motherhood around people who don't see things the way I do, however.
