| Do you REALLY mean it? | October 16, 2005, 2:45PM |
 by: YCNKWYDNC_0012 |
|
When people say "I love you." I hear soooooo many people saying it now, but what I wonder is if all of them actually mean it. Love is nothing like just liking someone. Liking someone is just a little part of love. But love is when you can be yourself not matter what when you're around them, that you feel great when you talk to them, see them, hug them, kiss them, make love to them, and everything. You just know that no matter what, they'll always be there for you NO MATTER WHAT. That's most of what love is, but not exactly. There's not an EXACT way to describe love, you kinda just know when it's there. Love is always different for EVERYONE. There's always atleast one little thing that makes the things you love about someone different than reasons why another person loves someone. Things you don't like about someone is maybe something that someone else loves in a person. But like I said, so many people say it, but do all of them ACTUALLY mean it? There's people who do mean it, there's people who think they mean it but they really don't know what it is, there's people who say it cause they think they have to, there's people who say it just to be nice, and then there's little assholes who say it just for kicks, and if you're one of the peopl who do it just for kicks then I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL! Love should be taken seriously, not as a joke. If you say it and don't mean it and the person you say it too thinks it's true, you could cause really bad emotional damage to them, maybe so much emotional damage they might do some physical damage to themselves. So all you people reading this should really think about love. If someone says it to you and you know they mean it, but you don't, then explain that you don't and why instead of lying to them or being mean about it. | |

| Get Free Andromeda Time and New Feature | October 14, 2005, 1:43AM |
 by: eon |
|
Get Free Andromeda Time If you live in the United States and drink Pepsi or Mountain Dew, you're in luck. Until October 31st, I will be accepting entry codes from orange capped Pepsi and Mountain Dew drinks in exchange for free Andromeda time. Each valid code from an orange cap will be worth one week of Andromeda time. These entry codes are for a contest to win an XBox 360. To receive your free Andromeda time: 1) Collect the codes that are stamped on the bottom of orange Pepsi and Mountain Dew bottle caps. Make sure you are not collecting codes that have already been redeemed in the XBox 360 contest. You will not receive any Andromeda time for used codes. 2) Visit my profile and leave me a private comment with your entry codes. I will check your codes on the Pepsi website and for each valid code you give me I will credit your account with 7 days of Andromeda time. Very simple. Please remember, I will be checking all codes before crediting back Andromeda time so please do not waste your time with turning in any bunk or already used codes. Find Out More About Andromeda Time Find Out More About the Pepsi XBox 360 Contest Yes, I am going to win an XBox 360. If you try to tell me otherwise I'll... uhm... glare at you and think mean thoughts. And I won't like you very much either. P.S.: Pepsi is good for you. Drink Pepsi. New Site Feature In my last post I linked to a poll on a new proposed site feature that would allow members in the United States and Canada to see roughly how far they live from other members when visiting their profiles. A good majority favored the feature and so it has been added. Here are the details: On the main page of the Control Panel, near the bottom, you will find a section called "Distance Section - United States and Canada Only". There are three fields here: The first is a place to enter your zip or postal code. You need to enter a zip or postal code to check distances (both on profiles and in the member search pages). **Your zip code / postal code will be kept confidential. No one will be able to view this information on your profile. The second is a setting to decide whether or not you want others to be able to see their distance from you when viewing your profile. The default setting is 'yes'. If this feature makes you terribly nervous about your privacy, simply change the setting to 'no' and you'll have nothing to worry about. **Distances shown will be rough estimates only. No one will be able to see their exact distance from you or have directions to where you live. The third is a setting to decide if you want your distance readouts to be in miles or kilometers. The default setting is 'miles'. Now: If you have your zip or postal code entered, when you visit others who have done the same you'll be able to see their distance from you. To see someone's distance, look for a line right above their comments (and right below where their IM nick names should appear) that says something like: This_Dude lives about 510 miles from your location. To help protect your privacy, all distances will be rounded to the nearest 10 and any distance below 20 will simply be shown as 20 (miles or kilometers). Thank you all, I hope you enjoy the new feature. As usual, your feedback is valued. | |

| Why Entropy Makes Me Happy | October 10, 2005, 8:00PM |
 by: AveForARose |
|
Anyone who has visited my profile knows I have a thing about Entropy. But how many people truly knows what this is? And why do I adore it so much? Well, Webster's dictionary lists the definition of Entropy as the inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society. This means that nothing is steady or forever. Why this intrigues me so much is that I have always been a big fan of any great equalizer. And nothing is exempt from Entropy. Everything is alive with it's tangible effects. Our society, our government, the environment, even your very own body is affected. One needs only to see an elderly person, or think back to the Roman Empire to know that this is true. Everyday, things such as Anarchy, terrorism, illness and even stupidity facilitate Entropy, and help it to move along at whatever pace it sees fit for the particular situation is is working in. I know that this view may seem morbid to some, but see it from a logical point of view. How can you not smirk at the irony that, no matter how well planned or perfect something may seem, EVERYTHING is susceptible to Entropy? It is a deliscious and poetic type of irony. Something that can really brighten my day when it seems everything is going wrong. So, whenever it occurs to you that something will last forever... Such as pain or heartache... Just think back to Entropy, and know nothings is forever. | |

I have an idea for a new site feature, but it does raise some minor issues about privacy. Therefore, I want to take it to a vote. If you are a resident of the United States or Canada, please see the following poll: New DS Feature PLEASE: If you are not a resident of the United States or Canada, do not vote in this poll as the feature will not affect you.

| Twenty | September 29, 2005, 9:23PM |

I've never posted anything on here but I thought I'd give it a try. And..I'd like to know if this thing that I wrote makes any bit of sense. When someone tells you a story, how do you distinguish which part is true? Can you find the parts they made up, and prove that what they said never happened? Or are you the type of person that believes all or nothing of what they hear? If I were to tell you that I had twenty findgers, would you believe me? How much do you have to trust me for you to believe everything I say? Oh sure, you could look at my fingers, and count them a hundred times even. You know that you can count only ten, yet I persist that there's twenty. Am I a liar? Am I just confused? Or am I mentally challenged? Those would be the thoughts running through your head, would they not? Instead of you asking why I'm telling you that there's twenty fingers, you tell me I'm wrong, that I don't know what I'm talking about. Yet I do. I know exactly what I'm saying, I'm telling you the truth, and you're not in my mind to tell me otherwise. Exasperated, you'll walk away, shaking your head, trying to figure out what's going on in my head. To say you understand what's going on at this point is a lie. You'll never know how my mind works until I explain to you exactly what my thoughts are. Even then, however, you may be confused. Until that time though, you go home, you eat dinner, watch TV, and go lie in bed. All the while pondering this simple statement. It won't be clear to you, it won't make sense, and you still don't believe me. I can swear on everything I won, including my soul, that I'm telling you the whole truth, but you'll think I'm insane, won't you? Even now, you know that in my head, it all comes together. You, however, your mind is unsettled. You are the one that's truly falling into insanity. You won't be able to sleep without dreaming of the ways I could possible have these ten extra fingers I keep telling you about. It's like a needle..slowly piercing into your head. The pain is deafening, excruciating, but it won't stop until you get the answer. Curiousity killed the mind. Curiousity drove the person to the end of the road, and pushed them over the top of the cliff. All because they wanted to know. Wanting to know so bad, you may even cheat. You'll skip past all of this "nonsense" just to finally have your mind set right. This can also be compared to other things in life: cheating; finding a faster way to know it all. Does it ever do you any good in the end? Does knowing why E=MC squared or why the sky is blue ever really impact how you'll die? No, but because we're human, we're never satisfied with just letting things go. Our brains lust for knowledge and can't accept the fact that we don't know something. Some things bother us more than others. Some things don't ever worry us a bit, if they're not important to us. But quite often, you most definitely will find that thing that eats away at you. It's a burning in your stomache, an ache in your head. It stays in front of your mind until you finally solve it. Sometimes it's those simple things, like, the name of a song you just heard. Other times it might be something more complicated, like how the earth revolves around the sun. Yes, I'm stretching this out, you're reading and reading, waiting to come across the answer of why I'm telling you that I have twenty fingers. Right now, you may be confused as to how any of this even relates to each other. In my mind, as I said before, it's all clear, it makes perfect sense. It wouldn't matter if this was two to one thousand pages, the length still may not be enough to get the message across to you. As to twenty fingers...do you yet believe it? Or am I just telling you a bunch of bull to see if I can get you to believe it? Hold my hand, and tell me now, how many fingers do I have? Do you yet understand? I doubt it. But am I wrong? Or are you still not seeing what I see? | |

| Space Monkey! | September 27, 2005, 11:41PM |
 by: loretta |
|
I was reading an article on the internet and came across this absolute Stupidity! It seems there is a new Game invented by someone lacking any intelligence whatsoever, Its code name -SPACE MONKEY! Let me explain, Space monkey is a game that involves getting on your hands and knees and putting your head down. You breathe really hard until you get really light-headed, and then someone puts their arm around your neck and flexes until they go limp. Everything blacks out. You wake up a couple of minutes later lightheaded and tingly. “You feel really peaceful and calm.” Stated a 14 year old adolescent. It is said to be a rather fun and popular 'game' among the younger generation. Now lets weigh up the pros and cons! PROS- NONE! CONS- By playing this 'game' it is not a possibility, It is a FACT!, Each time you complete the sequence of this 'game' you are definitely killing brain cells most likely in the Millions! Between 400 and 500 kids a year die from this game … And that doesn’t count those that just have serious injuries and have to get tracheotomies, or they have strokes, or they have memory loss, they have other neurological impairments secondary to asphyxiation. A 16 year old girl stated "Its just a fun game to play with your friends and gives you something to do to pass the time" WHAT THE HELL!!! What is going on in these young peoples minds!? Have they not heard of hiring movies,playing video games or doing something constructive with their time like reading,drawing,writing poetry or listen to music! I find this whole concept absolutely pathetic and abhorrent! I would like to know what you all think about this! | |

| Distance Searches Now Include Canada | September 23, 2005, 1:39PM |
by: eon |
|
You all may be aware that you can go to the Search Page and search for other members who live within a certain number of miles from your location. These distance calculations are based on zip code data and previously only worked for members living in the U.S. As of yesterday I updated the database with Canadian postal code data so now our Canadian members may also use this feature. If you live in Canada, take a second to go into your Control Panel and enter in your 6 digit postal code (without spaces). Not only will this allow you to search for others by distance, it will allow others to find you. This feature works across borders, so for example, members living in U.S. cities close to the Canadian border will now start to see members living in nearby Canadian cities when they run distance searches (depending upon the distance being searched). So I hope all of you Canooks appreciate this, eh? ;) | |

| Layout Ratings, Layout Search | September 21, 2005, 5:04PM |
by: eon |
|
Some new features have been added to the site: You may be familiar with the custom profile layouts which can be browsed here: Browse Layouts You can normally access this link through the Look and Feel page of the Control Panel. It seems that this feature has become quite popular, as we now have nearly 5,000 custom layouts added to the gallery by members like you. I've been quite pleased with the level of participation. However, this also presented some unique problems, the greatest among these being that people were having a hard time finding the layouts they wanted. To help with that, you'll now notice that there is a search box on the upper right hand side of the layouts browser. I would ask that layout designers put more descriptive names and descriptions (quotes) on their layouts to help people who are searching. Another problem we've had with layouts is the fact of some people simply posting layouts with no real work put into them. For example, someone might take the basic layout, change the font size, give the scroll bar some wacky glowing hue and then call it a new layout. To help address this concern, layout ratings have been added. When viewing any layout, you may now rate it (from 1 to 10) based upon (hopefully) the quality of that layout. When searching layouts you may choose to sort them in order of highest rated and you'll even notice some handy little yellow 'D' stars in the search results that reflect the ratings. In this way, I hope as a community we can eventually sort through and rate the layouts and make it easier to find those of better quality. The sorting methods used are not yet finalized, please do not provide feedback on that yet. Otherwise, I'd like to know what you think about these features or if you have ideas to further improve it. Another small update: This only affects Andromeda members. You'll now notice that when you browse the forums while your invisible mode is on, you will no longer be listed in the user list there. You'll simply be added to the invisible count. For example, you might see: 23 Members Are On The Forums (6 invisible) [List of members on the forums goes here...] If you were an invisible Andromeda, you would be one of those (6 invisible) and so consequently would not be named in the list of members below. That is all for now... | |

I HATE THE LABEL EMO!! Supposedly it's short for emotional.Yeah right! I have NEVER seen an "emo" kid cry, and even if they did that is the only emotion associated with them. WAKE THE FUCK UP PPL!!! There are a lot of emotions. Ever seen an emo kid flip out from rage and throw a kid at a desk? I didnt think so. Emo is an in accurate label and should not be used. | |

Ok, I know everyone is so sick of other people whining about labels on this site....so I'm just going to say this: It doesn't matter if you call yourself a goth, punk, nerd, whatever. It doesn't matter if you are "anti-label" and hate being called an emo kid. it doesn't matter if you are a hypocrite that says they hate being stereotyped only to say they hate preps. Because once you leave high school, nobody gives a shit. That perfect bubble of cliques and brands is popped and you are instantly thrust into an adult world. College, if you decide to attend, is far more relaxed than in a formal school setting, everyone is on their own for the most part. So take heart in knowing that this pathetic game you play will someday end regardless of whether you're ready. That dead horse is beaten, and it's starting to smell. That's all I wanted to say. | |
