A Look Inside Madness
Most of this post will probably be a big “…wha?” to people. But Jan makes posts all the time that make me go “…wha?” so I don’t care! I have broken it up, because…well that was an outline, actually.
The Dog War
This is so silly and stupid, but I feel I must write about so that one day I can continue to laugh.
On a forum I visit there is a certain member. About eight years older than myself, yet you would think they were ten years younger. They make posts not for advice (which is the whole point of said forum) but for..I don’t know. A pat on the back? Anytime another poster makes a response that disagrees with the topic or whatever, they soon find themselves getting chewed out. Now, ALL of their threads are basically the same crap over and over, and eventually even the top brass started to call them out on it. So, back in March our hero made a post stating that they were leaving this oh so evil forum. I actually believed them.
But nay! Withen a few weeks they were back, quietly, not speaking much. I thought, hey they’ve learned their lesson. Haha, how easily babes are fooled. I checked back into the forum after a couple of weeks of absence to see at least three (and maybe four) new threads by them. And I can’t help but wonder why. Why post on a forum when you know no one there agrees with your weirdo ways? They stated that they didn’t care what any of us thought, ok, then why ask us what we think?! I just don’t understand.
Actually, that’s not funny at all.
Well, it was funnier reading the posts than talking about them. Oh, and where do the dogs come in? If you knew them, you’d understand. Oooooh cryptic!
phpBB 3
There was a time when I questioned my buying vBulletin. This was because the phpBB 3 beta was annoucned not that long after. However, where is it now? phpBB 3 is still not out, and I’ve been enjoying my vBulletin in the meantime. I don’t regret it. Sure, I hate hate hate the template system, but then, I hated phpBB’s too until I got (semi) used to it. In fact, there have been a few more security updates to phpBB 2 even in the short time I’ve switched over. And they still haven’t solved their image verification system! (ok turns out while I was writing this draft beta was finally released)
Random
Well! Um…. I like gtalk. I didn’t think I would like it, but now it’s all I use for IM. I also now like football. Not american football, the other one. And it has nothing to do with the fact that football players are so good looking and take their shirts off after the match is done. Nothing at all, Laura!
I’ve began a reread of WOT. How do those people do it?! I feel like ripping my eyelids out. Even the blessed Moiraine(May the Lady Moiraine keep you satisfied) acts the fool! But I’ll finish, even if I die trying.

Dog War as in dog fights in the sky with airplanes? If I got it do I get a cookie?
I like vBulletin. *not sure how much of a pain it is to set up and things* But, it seems smoother and more cohesive than the other. Plus, I’ve heard a lot of things about hacked phpBBs lately.
Gtalk is fun. *nods* And so is football.
How can you say that Moiraine (May her Sainted Name live forever in the Halls of the Most Sexy) was foolish? Wait, I don’t really remember how she acted back then.

You mentioned Laura and Jan and phpBB and VB and lots of silly posters and soccer players… and in your last post you talked about family…. when are you going to write about your Swedish pet Niklas?

*rabidly anti-football of any kind*
But why else would anyone want to watch football apart from oogling the shirtless players?
*dodges Jan’s/Marie’s/football fan’s in general well-aimed slap*

Hi Marie !
Yes, your post was a big wha…? for Me, but it’s okay because your blog is fun anywayz, Wheeheeheee… How are you ?
I’m not so fine… something happened to my eyes again -this time it’s only my left eye- and I’m not sure what it is this time… an infection again, I think, but probably it was caused by some insect !!! !
Laura: Sorry, I didn’t know you hated football… next time I see you in MSN I shall not ask you about football, I promise !
Niklas: What the heck has happened with you ?

Hi !
Jan, I’ve been trying to see you again in the Yahoo! Messenger… do you still use it ??? ?
I also use the MSN and gmail chat, do you ?
Well, I really want to get to know you better and be friends… I’ve met very few people who are also Fantasy writers, like Me !
We can try exchanging emails instead of IM conversations, if you like… hey, if you could read my stupid little Narfia tale in my geocities page I would be very interested in your opinion
It’s a queer and wicked little narration designed to parody the story of the first Narnia book, you see… .
Please !!!

Jan: Thanks for your message… .
I left the link to the page here -click on my name- just go there, and then click where it says “narnia sucks” or something like that, and you’ll quickly reach the page with the story
Thanks !
