I write in a lot of online forums (as well as stories and stuff) and one thing I just can't get over is how damned Good I am am at it.
I give advice, make people laugh and treat them to my wisdom in many places.
One of my favorite hobbies is to go back from time to time and search out some of my very favorite posts, re-reading my brilliance or humor and making myself smile.
One thing that bugs me is that while I have long thought that my every utterance should be saved for posterity, many websites either delete posts after a time or refuse to allow people to bring old posts back to the forefront.
It bothers me that I work so hard on my posts, yet many times people who join a site months or years past my original posts might well miss out on my wisdom and charm.

but it's a better site now anyway. a lot of garbage was eradicated.
btw, im ready to wheel you around the sandy shores of florida on a moonlit night anytime you're ready for it :D ...
Haha, some secret!
BUT if you must. Add at least one gay sex joke in there SOMEWHERE. Jeez.
My POINT was that, both here and all over places like this on the net, I feel that my wisdom should be preserved for future generations. And it is not. :(
Unfair and sad.
You want a gay joke? Okay:

It's just how the world turns.
Perhaps you could copy what you consider valuable posts into documents such as doc, rtf, or PDF's and or have your bf download them instead, as it appears the downloading and not the porn is what he enjoys, and when you have 100 Gb of your posts, don't let him erase them, you save them for you and then could write a coffee table book or something that's important and preserves them for you.
I might have to think on it. It seems a shame for my brilliance to be wasted when future generations might need it.

...Hope it helps.
our species has been recycling thoughts for eons.
nothing is original.
I write alot of poetry and have recently been posting it on this online community site - compared the the rest of the crap on that site, my writing is like works of fucking art (they're decent), but yet, I only get a moderate amount of feedback while I see suckers writing the sappiest bullshit, and getting praise like they just wrote Moby Dick.
It's so frusturating.
I read ~A LOT~ and when I see some of the PAP that gets published, well hell, even if I can't spell better than your average third grader, I should get a Hugo Award by default in comparison to some of this "authors"

Why don't you try for a job writing a newspaper column or something if you think you're that good?
Play yourself up some more, after were done praising you, we can drag you back down into this hellish place we call reality.
I Do not consider myself a Goddess among maggots, far from it - I just know that I have great qualities (some of them) as does everyone, and I like to be able to help others with them.
You appear to be a sad, lonely man; but I wish you well.

I suffer from a lack of tact.
Thanks.

Which you aren't.
To sum up though, I truly value your opinion and you are part of the reason why I like this site. Even knowing I am new here, I plan on staying here and you are the girl side to what I need for my post. YOU ARE FINE.
Lastly, thank you so much and if nobody else cares, I care what you write and please don't quit.

"It bothers me that I work so hard on my posts, yet many times people who join a site months or years past my original posts might well miss out on my wisdom and charm."
I often worry about that as well about what I write. I now see that this site is smaller (population wise) than I originally thought and it was a letdown but it is okay.
However, I tend to write a lot and a great deal of time goes into what I write and I often worry about the same thing. If nothing else, I love your post and look for them before reading other lines of crap from more ignorant people.
Thanks you! You really made the day better for Moi!

I didn't mean it and now that I more desire to be myself instead of some idiot asking stupid questions, I wish I could take back that comment. Anyways, I have deciced to be who I truly am, a good guy and not some jerk lashing out on life.
I just wanted to state again that I understand and you are fine.
Arrogant, self absorbed, I'm kind of good at online posts, what with the grammar, spelling, and punctuation, but wit and humor? I'll leave the other posters to decide...
God Bless

I would love to write a book but I have a complex about it. There is so much published crap out there it seems like just about anybody can write a s**ty book and make themselves rich off of it...and I don't want to be one of those people.
But contrary to my words above I do post and comment in these so-called 'worst places' and I care about what I post and hope it will get read. I just discovered this site a few days ago and already all I really want to do is go back and re-read all of my comments and see if anyone had anything to say about them.
My hopes aren't very high though because it is pretty obvious that most people do not read everything through before throwing in their two cents.
