Odd confessions.

I love those big ol' cans of Arizona iced tea you can get at like the mini mart and stuff for a dollar. Which is kind of odd considering I don't usually care for too much sweet in my tea (in fact my preferred tea at Starbucks is unsweetened black) and those things are bloody SWEET, man.

Well, this me is pretty much my true self, although there's a few sides of the Thnikkafan. There's my Obfuscating Stupidity Manchild personality that I use around my family, I'm pretty sure I have a Shrinking Violet personality for school use (cultivated after years of rejection and being picked on), and I think I have a Wangsty personality rattling in there that I sincerely hope is dead (I thought about suicide daily) although I really know it's still in there.

Also, I think all women are repulsed by me, so I can't talk about love much.

Afghan, I admire you the way you are. Un-harshness on the Internet is both refreshing and a virtue.

I can understand wanting to adapt a different persona online, though. I sometimes wish I could do that. The Bobby you guys see here is more-or-less the same as my IRL public persona, only more articulate, less clumsy, and possibly slightly more emotional. Oh, and I think I rant more here.

This is all me, people, except I'm not as coherent in real life. In meatspace, I generally speak in disjointed sentence fragments separated by long laughing jags.

I think I would like to be more like my online persona. I frequently find it difficult to get a word in IRL and when I do it's almost never what I'm really thinking—the closest I usually get is making a pun. I'm really a milquetoast, and it frustrates me.

Ah well. At least I have you guys. At least I'm cool on the internet. That's gotta count for something, right? O-on the internet?  ^*

Same with me. Apparently I'm too quiet in real life. I also don't show much emotion, even when I want to. And I don't have nearly enough time to think about what I actually want to say.

Hmm; I thought I must seem childlike to you all. Oo; let's wait until her seeing the best in people finally implodes on her.

Oh, and confession; I haven't slept. I think it's time for that.

I do the "Super Sentai" Stance when overwhelmed by positive emotion.

The true me is probably wangstier on the net than in real life because to show the hurt and doubt I feel to those around me would cause too much friction. So I have to just grin and bear it.

• hugs catz* I'm online if you wanna talk :P about anything hehehe. I'm kind of bored.

I am far more open online than RL. Far less stubborn too. Not too satisified with that.

Thanks, Lance. I keep really busy, but I do want to have that talk with you (no, not THAT talk).

Out of Bile Fascination and a hunger for Snark Bait, I read Scarlet P.I., wondering how a webcomic featuring every single kink the author has could possibly be worse than expected.

It turns out, the storyline, or lack thereof, bothered me way more. They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot here; a corporate conspiracy to kidnap innocent people, twist their bodies beyond recognition, erase their minds and use them as glorified machines could be a decent backdrop to a tense, serious story. Trying to make a comedy out of it, although possible, kind of falls flat when the jokes are not funny. The characterization bothered me most, as the protagonists acted unrealistically, the villains were cardboard.

My confession is that I tried to look at a webcomic through the eye of a professional literary critic. Perhaps I take things too seriously.

2nd confession: I edit red links whenever I accidentally make one in the forum.

I think it's worth subjecting webcomics to literary criticism. That was one of the things I liked about "Your Webcomic Is Bad And You Should Feel Bad". (Some of) those webcomics had it coming.

I like to mix foods together to counter textures I don't like. For example, when I have eggs, I generally put them on toast with bacon so I can't feel the texture of the egg whites. I'll also put chicken tenders on my burgers to counteract the texture of the patty.

Part of the reason my personality is all over the place is because I really don't know who I'd consider myself to be. The two ideal versions of myself in my head pretty much contradict eachother. On one hand, I want to be somewhat close to a Genki Girl, but I lack the extroversion needed. On the other, I want to be somewhat of a stoic, but I'm too much of an emotional person. This irks me.

Hey Miijhal! Add cheese to that egg sandwich!

Is good.

I gotta ask. I'm thinking about finally setting up my page and also thinking about my own trope embodiments. Question is, how does one come up with a comprehensive trope list? Surely you don't memorize every single trope? Do you just add on as you come upon a new one that fits?

^ That's what I do.

I used to list some central ones, but then decided that it was too self-indulgant. Not saying I think so of others, I just am a bit critical of what ever I do.

And no, i don't think anyone even knows all the tropes, there's a metric assload of them, many of them with weird names.

I have a Wiki Magic thing but almost nobody has put any tropes on my userpage.

I've done the same. I don't think it's right to pick things out for myself, I guess.

My Troper Tales page was intended as a cheap Take That! at Troper Tales, until someone took it seriously and it stuck.

I'm wondering whether or not it's true that people with very low self-esteem don't take compliments well, because they don't believe them.

Yes, at least in my case.

Hmm; I thought I must seem childlike to you all.

No, on the contrary, you seem very mature. Must be the semicolons.

If I ever do that again please figure out a Get A Hold Of Yourself Man equivalent and execute it, thanks in advance.

I do the Super Sentai Stance when overwhelmed by positive emotion.

I have been known to do this as well, on occasion.

@Cat: Simple. I memorize every trope.

On a more serious note, I used what I could remember, what came to me later, and searched up a few words with the Google search to see if something would come up that would fit.
