Betrys

Oh definitely. xD AP doesn't have those POPUPS!likeCRAZY going on, lol. I appreciate that this is also a free site. :3 My budget wouldn't be able to handle having to pay for this. xD So thanks to the management, whoever you guys are. ^^

Geebus. I think I'll just paste in what I sent around on a MySpace Bulletin. I HATE Fwd/Chain letters. I mean, if you read the following, could you get any idea of that?

Ah, the lovely workings of a simple CTRL+V.

NOTE : This is going to be some intense ranting. xD; Just ignore it if you're queasy about usage of um body parts and bad words.

Am I the only intellectual person on this site that doesn't think that all that bulletin crap is just a flashback to squee!MiddleSchoolYears? No? Well, thank God there's some iota of intelligence left on this site.

-_____-; Excuse me if this comes off sounding wa~ay bitchy or snarky or whatever, but this is why Facebook rocks, and LiveJournal, for that matter, and why MySpace is down in the dumps. What the hell? Do you all actually believe that bull****about "OMFG!!1!!wun!!excl!!ama!!shun!!pt!! Send / Repost this or you'll never be able to get IT up again, or if you're a girl, you'll never have good sex!" pizzazz? Oh, wait, sorry. The example I put up wasn't completely correct. I forgot that those bulletins tend to lack a) the standard grammatical mechanics, b) correct spelling, and c) any form of coherent thought process.

Shit, I'm not a *******brainiac, so what does that make you all? Stupid? -_-;

Lay off posting bulletins if all you know how to post are inane bulletins that have no relevance to our lives. I thought we all progressed far, far from those types of FWD/ChainLetter when we left elementary middle school. I guess I was wrong.

Oh God, this is why I rarely check up on MS. Making friends was amusing. Checking up on my best of on here was even better. But, hell, this was like when I had an AOHell account and was flooded with Fwd/Don'tBreakTheChain!-It'sBeenGoingOnSince1943!! letters.

:D Remember, snark beats great healthcare. Oh, and seeing as how I ignored all of those fwd posts, shouldn't I be dead or extremely unlucky by now? And since I'm still breathing and lucky, doesn't that just screw up the whole "jinx"?

And, just to go with the whole "flow" here, let me post on!

You have to repost this to spread the knowledge of these idiotic posts! If you don't, then your ****will shrivel up to a beautiful one inch -- when hard, my lovelies -- and your breasts will deflate to nothing, and if you're male, heck they'll enlarge to 36DDs. Then, the glass within your house will, for some strange and unknown reason, shatter. This will thus end up impaling all members of said household to death.

And just when you thought it was all over, an earthquake of gigantic proportions will erupt right under your home, but only yours, and ruin everything. And you thought you could get something back from insurance companies? Hah! They've just upped your rates and left you high and dry in the pits of DEBT.

But, of course, this will only happen if you don't repost this luffly thing in .09872349872349234 milliseconds. So, hurry! Get repostin'!

Oh, and of course that includes the standard "Don't post this? Hah! You've just got yourself a warranted death and crappy sex for the next 3984723948724 years." Have a nice night.

Please realize the heavy amounts of sarcasm used within this post. And so with that, I'll leave you all.

Mayumi2617: Thanks for the welcome! Lol, *wears the coat* I actually made a post about where I got my username from. :3 Let me find it. xD;

"Hm. Well, originally I was going to go with a nickname [it's Mae ^^;] I'm commonly known as [among and around other message boards, sites, LJ, etc.], but it was taken. Betrys is another, though lesser used, name I have. I use it mainly for MUDs [Multi-User-Dungeon] games and things related to that.

Betrys is a name I made up from a variation of Beatrice -- though it's not pronounced in the same fashion. ^^ I like unusual / unique names. Especially Gaelic / Celtic names. I'm very fond of those."

^^

IY-luVer: Actually, it's an avatar I use on my LiveJournal. :D I snagged it from one of the icon communities on there. ^^; I can't remember off the top of my head who made it, but if you check out this page, it's one of those communities listed in the credits section. You may have to join the comm, though [if you're an LJ user] because most of them are Friends/Members Only. ^^;

Cease207: LOL, don't worry. This is the only time I'll be running around nekkid. ;D I'll find some clothes to wear in a hurry. I mean, look! I already have a coat. xD

Uwwaaa. This is an awesome wallie. xD I love how he suports the background, rather than the other way around. He doesn't get overshadowed by what you did with the hallway and the flames, but moreso that he overshadows them. It's a very cool wallpaper. I also like how the font isn't just stark and glaring, but faded and... there. xD Very cool. You don't detract from the main part of the wallpaper, which is Shinn. I give it a thumbs up. ;D

LOL. Thanks. Dude, if there were people walking around naked... Oh dear. xD My virgin eyes. >.<

Kidding as well. xD;

xD Interesting. Though it looks kind of bland without a background, but oh well. :3

It's hard to not stereotype. You meet one kind of person, and say you're hurt by them. To avoid that, you avoid people that a) look like them physically -- either cause you don't want to remember what happened, or you stereotype that person to be like the first person -- or b) they dress like the first person.

I'm constantly stereotyped against because I'm Chinese, but I also stereotype others.

I guess humans will forever classify others. It's kind of hard not to, even though we try not to.

In my personal opinion, I think it is fine to stereotype, so long as you're not hurting anyone. For example, if you see a chick with thick glasses, it's fine to assume they're smart, but don't tease them about it.

Extremists, however, have to be put down. If you're biased against someone simply because of their look or skin color or whatever, that is wrong and should be brought down.

Anyway, that's my two cents. xD

I think there are different 'stages' of love. Or at least different forms of it.

There's the passionate love you could feel for, say, the boyfriend / husband / lover. I define that as a type of love where you want to spend your life with said person and you can see toughing the hard times out with that person.

There's the familial love where you have a very deep affection and understanding with those you grew up with [friends and family included].

I guess there are more variations of love, but those are the main two to me. ^^;

But in either case, I agree with Zylias. They're both two of the strongest emotions as well as most dangerous and personality/person-changing. :3

For hate, however, I think it's a form of love, but twisted into a bitter feeling. After all, isn't the adage "there's a thin line between love and hate," true? At least it is, in my opinion.

Hm. Well, originally I was going to go with a nickname [it's Mae ^^;] I'm commonly known as [among and around other message boards, sites, LJ, etc.], but it was taken. Betrys is another, though lesser used, name I have. I use it mainly for MUDs [Multi-User-Dungeon] games and things related to that.

Betrys is a name I made up from a variation of Beatrice -- though it's not pronounced in the same fashion. ^^ I like unusual / unique names. Especially Gaelic / Celtic names. I'm very fond of those.

So... yeah. ^^
