Writing Passionates discussion

hey guess what? i've made more comments in this group than anybody else!!! HA HA. :P lol

I know. I noticed when I was skimming over the list of members. I was like, "What?! Someone's posted more comments than me?!" Then I saw it was you and it all made sense. LOL! XD

yeah, you have posted more than me, and I started the group.

And Kenzie was the first to join after me.

I haven't actually posted that much in a while ... I've got to do that more. LOL. Just kidding! But, seriously, I haven't.

Want to see something funny?

Go to the members tab, select sort by date joined, go to the last page, and look at the number of comments that people have made. None of them more than 25 (24 to be exact) until you get the the last two. Over 700 comments, then over 1100 comments. Odd, isn't it? I bet most of those people are only in this group because they were invited, and they have thirty groups so they never visit this one.

i don't know how this happened ... :-/ lol XD

Hmm, do you think that we should create a rule that anybody who is inactive for over a month gets kicked, and if they want to start commenting, they can join again?

I mean, having over 300 members doesn't matter to me, it's the fact that they actually have some use in the group.

I'll post a discussion to debate this.

yeah ... i don't see why ppl should be in the group if they never comment. if they feel like commenting, then they can join again. but really there aren't a ton of truly active members.

You know what I've just realized? If we get rid of all the inactive members (the ones who have never posted or don't keep up on posting) we'll have around 25 or 30 members. And that's it! Wouldn't it be great to have a group where all the members participate in the discussions and are serious about the group they've joined?

I noticed that too. And we might actually have fewer than that.

isn't it sad that we have 300 inactive members?

It really is! If you're going to join a group then you can at least post something! It makes no sense. Most of these people probably don't even check over the discussions. I bet some of them won't even realize that you deleted them when you do.

Seriously

I just wish that people who join this site, and group, would join them for the right reasons, and not because they want to have more groups than other people.

There are all these people who think if they have less than 1000 friends then they aren't good enough.

That's sad.
I have a lot of groups and friends though ... not bcuz i'm competitive -- just cuz i pretty much accept any group or friend request that gets sent to me. i feel bad about leaving anybody out. lol. XD

I usually send them a message saying I'm sorry about deleting your friend request and that it's only because I don't know the person. Same with groups, unless I've already gotten a hundred or so invites to that group. I just don't really like joining every club that's pushed under my nose, then I can't keep up with them.

well i go back and delete groups if i never comment in them ...

*shrugs* That works. I just don't enjoy leaving a group. I always feel like I'm deserting the people in them by leaving. That's why I'm having such a problem trying to decide whether or not to leave my (dead) happiness group....

but i leave groups when i feel like i won't be missed ... like when i haven't commented at all. or i've commented less than, say, twenty times.

i only like have 734 (including this one) thats skimpy compared to U!

well i don't have a life. lol

I don't either. Join the club. We have matching jackets!

And they're really quite nice, actually. Fuzzy, little zippers, black.... XD

And you can now get them with a name on the back!

coool. i want to join the club. except i have a life. its archie

hahaha :D

lol XD

I'm just kidding guys. Though that would be cool....

i know u are!

*gasp* did you just give yourself ANOTHER jacket?

How many do you have now?

The Beep Club is one of them for sure.
and the Joan Hates Me i think was another.
and something about..oh yes! the shunned club!

Don't foget the Marie hates us club!

Gosh! I make a LOT of jackets. LOL.

But these are COOLER than all those.

oh. well, I think i'm only part of the beep club and the new I don't have a life club.

Yeah ... I'm a part of a lot of clubs.... XD

A lot of them were very inspired. I always love coming up with new ones....

These are the nicest jackets I've ever made, though! They're fuzzy, and warm, and have zippers!

mmm. perfect for october!

YEA!

Sorry, took some Tylenol....



JK! JK! LOL!

lol! I asked trhat in another discussion!

I know! I love Tylenol!

You know, not very many people realize the effect sugar and pain medication have on me ... most people are under the impression I instill craziness upon myself, when, in fact, I don't!

There was this one time, during a band concert.... See, an hour or so before with my Girl Scout troop we were eating chocolate. Well, me with my chocolate disease gets really hyped up--like an energy buzz--with chocolate. I had forgotten I had a band concert that night ... so when I was sitting, waiting to play, I was a little bouncy.

Some person behind me asked if I knew chocolate was a laxitive. Aparently they thought I really had to use the necessary.

(little humor there for you, Roni)

Ah, you make me laugh. I can just see you doing that...

I really was! It was so funny! I couldn't stop bouncing!

Stevie, next to me, got really annoyed.... XD

lol!

I had a great time.... ☺

Did you know that my band uniform this year is a dress?

I have to wear this extremely dorky, ugly dress! I have to go get it Wednesday. *shudders*

eew. that doens't sound comfortable at all. I would hate to be in your shoes.

I know! And I have to wear HIGH HEELS!

Can you picture me in that? I CAN'T!

high heels? GAH!!!

When will people realize that it's impossible to walk in them>?!?!?!?WHEN?!!?!??!?!

When the fashion market decides they aren't stylish anymore ... yeah, right. Like that'll ever happen.... XD

And to think that guys believe that woman are just naturally ... (supply word here. It rymes with itchy and means complainers, in this case.)

After all, we have to deal with:
1)periods. uck. ever wonder why pms exists?
2)sexism
3)Shoes that are uncomforable and make it difficult to run. (of course, a girl could run faster than a guy in high heels. we have experience!)
4)Uncomforable clothing
5)More likely to be a victem of sexual abuse than a guy.
6)Having to deal with those who think our chest is more interesting than our FACE.
7)The pressures of society to be dainty little models with massive implants that would make us topheavy, and at the same time work and/or take care of children/cook dinner/clean house/do laundry (all that is generally for the mothers, not all women)
8)Go through all that crap with a smile on our face, never being rude.

Men, they just have to:
1)"be a tough man" (which girls have to deal with, except we are pleasant and polite and beautiful. although I do admit that this is probably worse for the men. No emotion, and the pressure to be a "player")
2)Support his family (but woman are now expected to share in this supporting)

Of course, all of these things, for both men and women, are utterly ridiculous and wrong. If I forgot anything on either list, feel free to add on.

You know what I think is stupid? That guys complain about girls complaining about having to put the seat down. I get the whole 'you need it down, we need it up thing' but what happens when they have to go #2? They still have to put it down. It's just common curtesy for a man to put the seat down when he finishes. It's not that hard to do! You need it down sometimes, and us girls, no matter how hard we may try (not saying I do), we can't pee with the seat up!

Sorry, ranting a little.... XD

we talked about this in health class last year, about who has to deal w/more crap -- girls or guys. almost everyone agreed on girls. yes, that means even the guys think so. XD
