Since I have had my journal, I have had many people contact me. Many of them have become good friends, a few not so good friends, and others are just plain disturbing. I have been thinking about the various types and variations that come my way, and decided to highlight some of them (mostly the bad ones

Comments

I hope that I'm not one of the people that you are talking about Jared. If you look at my friends list, it's not large by any means. I like to meet people and try to expand the base of people I know. Living in a rural area, that is difficult at times. I enjoy sharing my life events with others, although I know at times, I tend to write too much. But, I've kept journals since high school, and find them a great "release". Many times the comments do help me to find an answer that I have been needing

[curiouselliot]

Don't worry.....you most definitely aren't one of those people ;)
And I wholeheartedly agree with most of what you said.

Moreover, the interactions I am referring to in this article usually occur over IM....not through journal comments.

Actually, she was trying to play with the camera

and happy new year to you too

People, for the most part, are easily intimidated -- each having their own triggers -- their own ways of dealing with the emotional strain of feeling... less than someone else. The most upsetting aspect to all of this is that it isn't necessary, and that people often encourage the opposite events and environment they were intending to by letting themselves -react-.

I'm really happy to see you post this. Your flashes of insight into situations that revolve around being someone with some self-respect -- with an exhibitionist/extroverted side -- are one/some of the reasons I added you to the queue of people whose lives I'm interested in following.

I'm looking forward to the continuation of this post...

... and your cat appears to have tremendous claws, just like mine. What inspired the name "Tippy?"

[curiouselliot]

You make a good point...they act this way thinking they are playing my ball field, but in actuality they are turning me off.

My cats claws look so "tremendous" because we put these sheaths called Soft Paws over them which prevent her from scratching anything. I adopted two kittens in June and named the girl Tippy and the boy Tyler, which is a nod to the William H. Harrison presidential campaign slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too", which was referring to Harrison's leading of the Battle of Tippecanoe and his running mate John Tyler.

So, yea, that's what inspired it. BTW, I added you.

[sabaoth]

Cool... I've had you on the "friends" list for awhile now.

Ya know... my brother had sheaths for his cat's paws as well. I'd totally forgotten about them, but I should get them now that I've been reminded.

Oh, and... Happy New Year.

Hedonic Calculus

[bored_claires]

There may be a few answers to your question. Your readers, but more likely your viewers, may be baiting you for an answer to a question that is being veiled in wit. (A less-than-successful attempt at wit, but a brave attempt nonetheless.) They may be trying to get a “read” before risking rejection. They may be asking themselves, “How can I satisfy my hedonic calculus, while not serving as a catalyst to his inflated ego development?” These people have limited opportunity to meet their needs in a “real life setting” so they act out in maladaptive ways, due to an inadequate prospect for rehearsal. In the end, they come to believe that the maladaptive behavior has somehow gotten them closer to getting their needs met

I agree with most of what you have to say.

And you're right....I need to take a break from all my narcissistic "webcam modeling" (which, by the way, i do CONSTANTLY), and become a compassionate guiding light for these lost cyber-souls.

I will help them find Jesus.

You are the last high. Endure your status.

As an addendum to my reply to your quandry over weak-witted, fat, hairy men in their forties and fifties, if it is a person from the Middle East, you could help by saying, "Break take we can? Lose me temper if don't," or "Me cry want. Stop things say you," or "Kind be. Say what say me."

First of all: Dandy Warhols = hot sex

Second of all: I get old Yahoo people trying to im me all the time. I have this thing about masturbation on my profile, said completely tongue-in-cheek, and these people (mostly Saudis) are like

"Hey, you want sex?
Show me webcam
I am your friend, yes? Show me naked."

What the fuck?
Okay, maybe if you fucking SPOKE ENGLISH, I would be tempted to show you something... but since you can't even string two words together, I won't give you the time of day.
Go rape a fucking sheep, you asshole.

Third of all: I wish you would hold MY PUSSY like that.

That is all.

[curiouselliot]

Yep, those Saudis are a randy bunch. I have gotten similar things like:

"Hi I saw you pictures with LJ, are you there?"
"Are you the one with your cock is big??"
"I am to love you all of the days"

It really gives me a reason to not wanna die.

[knaughtykoolaid]

Yeah, that makes me laugh.

*mchahahahaha*

You give me reason to not wanna die. :D
