Why bother
« on: December 11, 2006, 09:27:34 PM »
I suppose one of the reasons everyone gets so fucking pissy over me never being around is because I dont post my life story for all to read on this board..I dont consider it anyones business.and I wont appologize if that doesnt sit well with people. My life is my life and I choose not to share its details with complete strangers ..I guess that makes me a poor excuse for a roleplayer LMFAO how ridiculous !

Oh yes and there is the fact Ive never been to a gathering...I have a very full life and though I have come to care for a few here I have never felt that anything that happens here was more important than my real life. And then there are those of you who have had my phone number forever but the only time we ever speak is when I call...so I stopped..the phone rings both ways. So if it seems all this is quite unimportant to me its because it is very low on my list of things to do..now why that offends so many people is way beyond me. And why so many have decided that makes me less of a roleplayer that deserves less respect when playing this game is also a mystery to me.

There are many who do not share their life stories on this board.  There are many who will never be able to afford the Gathering or who do not feel comfortable attending.  And there are some, like myself, who are rarely home enough to make or receive phone calls at a reasonable hour, who don't have cell phones or long-distance calling, and who don't make enough calls to bother buying a phone card. To insinuate that you are not as well-loved as others of this home simply because you're not online 24-7, haven't met us in RT, don't give out your personal info, and don't have a phone ringing off the hook is absolutely rediculous.

No, role-play should not take over your life.  No, camp should not come before all else.  But a little common courtesy for those who do care and who do worry would be nice.  An occassional "Sorry I haven't been around due to a hectic RT, but I am alive and well" is the most that RAGNAR has ever asked of any of us.

WTF? 

Oh, and I had your number until you moved from Tennessee. You never gave me a new one.

Ya know, not a day goes by that I don't think of you, and hope that you are well, and that life is treating you kind and that you are finding the dreams becoming reality that I know you have worked long and hard for.

Whatever.
Cut me to the bone, I still love you. I don't make blinkies for just anyone. .

I am by far one to talk, about being around. Even though I shelved, I still kept in contact. I don't plaster my life on the boards. I don't give out my phone number to anyone, or call anyone here. I have never been to a gathering.  So does that make me less of a roleplayer?   It only make one less of a roleplayer, when one roleplays less.



ps......and prism really doesn't make blinkies for just anyone...I asked for one a longggggg time ago and never got one, so what.

* scratches head , thinks then posts*

I don't think till this very moment I have ever been made to feel less like a friend then I do right now. Yes ppl have my number and I have theirs. Do I call them presently no, cause I simply dont have the time. That doesnt mean I do not think of them. Do I have time to RP very little, do I feel bad about it yes, but life happens. Am I guilty of posting what is going on in My life yes, but I do that so ppl know Im still alive and well. What I think is most important is that we know we care for our friends and them for us whether we are near, far, meet or dont.

So from Me to You Sis know this.. I do miss You and pray You are well.

I am not complaing about everyone..I am trying to get across to a select few that just because Im not here all the time doesnt mean I dont know what the fuck Im doing when I am here .  I appologize if my previous statement offended anyone, I was offended the other night, and took the ass chewing I got very personally. But hey..nothing new.
