okay, so since no one had any major objections [and if you do, please speak now], i posted the new application. more or less because we were desperate to change the old.

i want all existing members to fill out this application.

please. =)

I will fill it out as soon as I have the time to sit and contemplate my answers. :)

Hope you feel better soon, dear.

Actually, just while we're on the subject...I agree with earlier comments that the interest list either needs to be purged completely or redone.

!! We could always have everyone contribute one or two interests. :D

I'm getting a little too into this whole "community" spirit, I think. :x

[sugarcoatedsour]

i was going to make a post about that, actually. we are so on the same wavelength. i agree. i'm going to delete it all and start fresh.

& take your time with the application. i won't throw you out if you're not prompt ;)

and post it where? to the community for voting, i assume?

[sugarcoatedsour]

yes. not for voting, necessarily. i don't want us to throw anybody out...! i just think it would be fun & possibly spark some conversation or debate between members.

[porcelainvagina]

ah, okay. at least it will LOOK like we have applicants. crafty!

[sugarcoatedsour]

people may be intimidated by such craftiness on our behalf. hm. i must work on this.

this could also be an effective means of online dating. want to start a spin-off community? elitist__personals? it will be the online classifieds of the elite world.

please ignore me.

Sorry for replying with this as a comment to someone else, rather than to the post.

I'm in rather the same situation as flood, in that I have relatively little time to sit and contemplate and write out all the extensive answers that the application requires. My new job is really kicking off tomorrow and school starts the day after

[sugarcoatedsour]

it's really hard to try and please everyone, i suppose. the masses were asking for change, and i did my best to implement it. we don't know each other, but i read your application when you initially applied, and some of your comments, and i really like you. i think we'd be missing something if you weren't around, and i really urge you to reconsider that.

i think that perhaps the new application can give us all something to think about, while still indulging those simple pleasures. i don't want it to be too heavy, but i don't want the process to be incredibly shallow, either.

you're in no rush to fill out the application. i'm not going to kick anybody out; believe me, i have school & i'm very ill at the moment and constantly drugged. it will be awhile before i submit mine. don't feel pressured or alarmed.

anyway, id' really like to work with you and maybe compromise a little, or understand more of what you'd like to see; i'd hate for you to go.

I'm not blaming you at all for doing what the masses called for. It's the only reasonable thing that could be done in your position, and you've done an astoundingly good job of it. I really and truly appreciate your kind words -- it's immensely flattering and you've reassured me more than you probably know. However, I do still have some lingering apprehension. The idea of being punted out for not answering a question that's been posed alarms me -- I'm often very busy and inspiration is hard to find for me, much harder than for most, I think. I think that's my biggest worry. I can't find inspiration to even write for myself on a regular basis, and that's tough enough to deal with in my chosen scholarly path. The last thing I want, then, is to come home and find out that I have to try and force creativity for something here "or else." Another reason for my shying away from this is that I feel I'm in a transistory period right now, where many of my views on what's being asked even in the application have yet to fully solidify in my mind

[sugarcoatedsour]

ohhh, i like you...!

we're more alike than you must have originally thought. inspiration can really only come at the right time; i promise you are in no rush, and you won't be voted out of the community if another member happens to disagree with your application. as for the solidification of ideals & views, i too am in the middle of many contrasting perceptions of the world. hell, i'm not even eighteen yet; i have a lot that i'm still weighing out in my mind as fact versus ficiton, right versus wrong [in relation to my sense of self]. i think the beauty of presenting your conflicting ideals to a group of other intellectual individuals [because i do think you are intelligent & witty] is that we are sometimes put in the position to defend something we didn't even realize we felt so strongly about until it was threatened. when we see our views from another's perspective, i think it really helps us solidfy our views.

i realize that made no sense, but i am very drugged and drooling on myself right now. please forgive me. i am glad you

[_corpulent]

I really dislike the new application, and I think the old one was a lot better.

[sugarcoatedsour]

well damn. i don't know what you want me to do about that.

[ziuziuziu]

why?
