Piggybacking The Name Game threads ;)

To who?

 

Never mind.

 

We should feel bad for getting along well and having fun.

 

No not at all. On the contrary.

I just want other to feel welcome and join in our fun. Not everyone is outgoing as we are. Remember this is a support forum where people are scared to even admit things in an anonymous way about themselves.

The point being is that there are grumbling about EC being cliquish and I have defended against that while sort of perpetuating it.

I frickin love you all and enjoy every second of this. I just want to make everyone feel welcome and not like they have to be "one of the inner circle".

Sorry, this is the conscientious teacher in me talking. Just saying.

It's kind of personal, I have a student who was very much introverted and wouldn't participate in class because she felt like she didn't belong. It took me half a year to figure that out. I don't want any LGBT person to feel that way here (no she isn't LGBT but an ally who I actually got to know at my schools GSA meeting...).

So that's what I'm saying. If I pissed in the punch bowl so be it.

Strict wife out.

 

Nah, I totally hear ya, strict wife and all. I too prefer not to be complicit in cultivating a clique-ish environment. But then again, outside of repressing our desires to whimsically interact with each other--and the last thing we should feel like we have to do on this board is repress our desires--I'm not really sure how to carry on differently.

I realize Jess created the Free Potatoes thread in the Fun & Games section and that's sometimes a timely place for our unique brand of insanity. But since that insanity is so often spontaneous digression and random lunacy, having a dedicated thread (especially one outside our "home" forum GI) does in some ways kind of defeat the purpose. I mean, it's not unlike that horrible experience of arriving at a location where there's a party scheduled, but you're so early that only a tiny handful of people are there. No "party" per se seems in evidence. So someone decides to take the initiative as "party starter" and starts dancing, awkwardly, while everyone else stares at the gyrating person and each other. Finally, the interminable party starting ends when the dancer realizes how foolish she looks and kind of nervously laughs it off, while dying inside. Yeah, real round-the-block analogy to say that it isn't easy to "make" a thing like Free Potatoes happen when the spuds fly just fine of their own volition.

At any rate, I like to think that my behavior across this entire forum demonstrates that I am very welcoming and friendly and that I'm never above respecting someone's input, should they choose to join in. I dunno, maybe we seem like the stars of EC Sex in the City here, with our lively, "outgoing" ways. But I assure anyone who reads this but feels they, for whatever reason, can't join in, there's truly no trick to fitting in with this group, except to just be yourself. If me and my far-out neuroses can be accepted around here, anyone can! Maybe enough inmates participate and we may be awarded our own, entire asylum. :icon_wink

If you don't mind, I'll continue to be that crazy Audrey chick here, while warmly welcoming anyone else to join in the fun. (!)

So much for troublemaker wife.

P.S.: Oh, and frickin' love all of you, too. (&&&)

 

I understand and certainly agree with the sentiment. No one should feel excluded, which is why I try to post on a lot of threads. However, we shouldn't be overly harsh with ourselves for developing some closer bonds as being somewhat limited in that irl is part of why we came here as well. Honestly, there are plenty of cliques on here that are not even open the way we are so, I think that we're still OK as long as we remain cognizant of the forum's purpose and offer our support and advice freely to others as well.

So anyone reading: we are here for you, too, we're listening even through the banter. And we don't bite... hard.

And I do love my wifeys, strict, troublemaker, and princess. (&&&)

 

Friggin philosophers... To tired to engage in further witty banter.

Super Trans Mega Derailment Squad leader out!

Do. Not. Use. Any. Name. With. Gemstones. In. It.

Ever.

Makes you sound like a goddamn stripper. For real for real. Not for fake.

 

Ha, seconded. Although it might be amusing encountering someone named Lapis Lazuli.

Not much into celebrities either. Which is why my crush in Audrey Landers was noteworthy enough to make an impression on me.

 

Champaign Crystal

Or

Jade Lavender

Ruby Candy

*gag*

 

*convulsing in pain*

 

Eek so true. I consider myself to be asexual but certain celebrities have made me want to name myself Benedict, Martin or Robert. Or all three. :eusa_danc

 

Benedict Martin Roberts? That's an actual real sounding name.

 

That sounds nice. Benedict Martin Roberts. Martin Benedict Roberts. Heh.

 

Not familiar with any of your favorite porn stars here.
