Quote:The shortening of phrases into letters doesn't bug me...cause I do that. It's not from gaming but from texting and the like. I use it for emphasizing purposes.What really boggles my mind is when someone uses text-esque abbreviations in speech. I was walking through a store a couple months back, and I actually heard someone say "btw." Now, it wasn't the fact that they used an abbreviation that intrigued me, so much as it was the fact that they used that particular abbreviation, which takes longer to say than the "long" form.
(Incidentally, I have the same reaction to the use of "GSW" instead of "gunshot wound" in medical dramas. Stop wasting time with those two extra syllables -- or one, if you're a "dubya"-er -- while the patient's trying to bleed out on us!)
Its kind if like in the 90s when everyone put "yo'" after everything or shoved in a "like" between each word. I imagine the BTW, FML, and OMG in speech will stick around. But that is just my prediction. -
Hey hey hey....
1) Xan, you suck. I can't rely on you for ****. Lol. Activate your game, he said....RP he said...blah. I'm gonna write Karnal out on my own if you don't stepup dude.
2) Fist was a job for Karnal. Infiltrate. And she got what she was looking for...Chimera and a few new members.remember the melodramatic break up? Hahahaha GG
3) I RPed last night for like, 3 hours? It was like riding a bike!although, I still haven't figured out where the **** Karnal has been for3 years.
4) doesn't Champions suck?
5) rawr baby. *shimmies* -
You had me at hello!
Wait, you didn't say hello. You had me at you! -
You know at the end of Tropic Thunder where Tom Cruise as Lex Grossman is dancing to Apple Bottom Jeans? This is what that would look like in thread form.
All "hood points" have been revoked. From all of you. Even a bit from me just cause I read this. And wrote a response. -
Quote:That makes me sad if someone ACTUALLY put in applications for things in 1337.I don't expect perfect grammar, but I do expect people to at least try. Using l33t doesn't make a person look cool. They just look lazy and/or stupid. Shorting words makes sense when you are texting, but you have a full easy-to-use keyboard in front of you. Use it. It will help when you get out into the real world. Using l33t in company emails will cost you a raise, promotions, and possibly your very job, if you can get hired in the first place. Any application I get that is filled out in l33t goes straight to the rejects.

Alright Xanatos, the RP is set in motion if you wanna have that brawl with Chimera...I'm just sayin'
hahahahaha

Quote:Because, generally speaking, proper grammar is an indication of your level of intelligence. I don't want to roleplay with a moron. No offense.So after playing on Virtue for a few days I have realized that all the roleplayers seem to have a complex for having perfect grammar. So my question is this, why are all the virtue players English Majors? lurn 2 not /B anol!
I am a grammar princess, and thusly piss off people when I correct them. Doesn't bother me in the slightest, because I am a shameless intellectual snob. Suck it. HA!

Quote:That is an awesome movie. Just fyi. And I fear that Mike Judge is right in that this is where America is heading((I'm watching this movie Idiocracy, and it's damned irritatating because the people in the future in it are just like the people in my town. The talk like 'em. Act like 'em. It's driving me crazy, but I've got to finish watching to see if Joe escapes with his sanity. I haven't.

IT'S THE ELECTROLYTES!!!! -
Quote:Well...maybe my premise and question were too harsh. We'll see if anyone bites and discusses it...This thread isnt dead until I say it is, and it's not dead yet.
Im bout to go image spamming again.
HOWEVER IN AN EFFORT TO FLUFF THIS THREAD BEHOLD THE GLORY OF BEST FRIENDS FOREVER:

Quote:You are assuming goth/metal in post-90s is socially acceptable...Yes. I am a geek. Thank you.
And socially acceptable as well. You'd not believe how much of the goth/metal crowd are geeks. Seriously.
Hint: Not really
Hahahahahahaha it's SOOO 1997
But ya know, I'm a bit judgmental with that, although unapologetic. I just don't understand individuals who define themselves by a lifestyle/music genre/etc.
I'm a 23 year old woman, graduated college, working full time. I listen to all kinds of music (yes, all kinds), and I dress in a fashion forward way, I don't follow trends, and I can't be categorized into any single "clique" of sorts. I watch all kinds of movies: romance, thrillers, horror, action, drama, sci-fi, etc.
I do judge harshly on individuals who limit themselves by liking only certain kinds of things, music, movies, themes, etc. I find them...I dunno, incomplete? Or mayhaps lacking in their own individual identity. It's like individuals who do "non-comfority" but then they conform to a subculture. Boggles my mind, really. I've met truly unique individuals, and they are unique not because of the way they dress, not because of the music they listen to, not because they have a penchant for some THING in the world but because they have defined themselves clearly, they have asked themselves hard questions, and have a refined self-philosophy outside of their social conditioning and they suffer from no cognitive dissonance.
Maybe I'm a self-actualization snob? Not that I think I am self-actualized, but I really enjoy individuals (even if their path doesn't jive with mine) who are actively seeking self-actualization. It's kind of like...people can have their opinions, and even they do not compliment my own, so long as they OWN it, I have no problem with them and respect them.
Example: Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman." One of my all-time favorite songs. Which is hilarious since I loathe all things red-neck (there is a difference between rural lifestyle and rednecks). But I LOVE the song because, in there, she is owning her choices, her preferences, and doing so proudly. So I respect that. Doesn't mean I'll hang out with her, because we have different tastes, but I definitely respect her on a philosophical level.
I'm not a religious individual, but some of my closest friends are extremely devout. But so long as there is no judgment between us, and we respect each other, and we own our individuality and opinions, thoughts, etc, I'm down.
Thoughts? No thoughts? Am I alone? Am I, and people of my ilk, just being snobs? Am I just being mean to Flea? hahahaha :P -

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH! Chimmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*runs at Jags full force, tackling and hugging with all her might*
ZOMG Rockstar awesome
Sorry I didn't get on last night. My bro is being deployed (Marine) so we all went out for a really nice dinner (fabuloooooous!) at Melisse . Place has 2 Michelin stars and it was worth every single overpriced penny (that I was soooo not paying <_<). I wish I could eat like that every single freakin' night. Yum. But I was basically drunk off of food (I had 1 cocktail in 3 hours, so I know it wasn't the booze), got home and passed the hell out there. NO way I was going to play during a wonderful food-coma like that.
Hopefully, I'll be coherent enough to play tonight.
I'll tell you though, this freaking heat wave in Los Angeles is KICKING MY ***. It's over 98 degrees right now. I am melting. I want to die. -
