Real Life People VS. Board Life People (page 2)

I really enjoyed reading that wanderlustguy... We all have pictures in our minds of what other posters look like...act like...are like in real life. The pictures I have created in my mind have rarely been accurate....although a couple of times I nailed it....

The written word is so open to interpretation.... it is hard to portray the person one truly is... in spite of how hard one might try.

In spite of all that, we have a great community here...and seem to break through a lot of the barriers that lie between us.

Excellent post WLG

Maybe it's how exJWs realise whats been lost and aren,t as afraid to hide themselves - as if there's nothing left to lose?

Give me your best shot and do it again is a way of life when you've felt you're in the basement of a town called zero?;

And maybe sharing it shows onlookers what maybe they feel and hurt about is in others?

So your spot on that when you meet people they're as regular as anyone if not moreso without the veil of EGO most carry around as RESPECTABILITY!

LOL! Thanks WLG! I am not always hungry, but I'm always ready rip some heads. At least that's the look I'm going for. I don't know how I drove that car for so long either.

I agree 100% with all you said about the people that were in the 'fest with us. All in all, great freaking people. By the way, I'll give you the Forrest Gump accent, but the honker looks smaller in real life. :p

I was *this close* to signing off this place for the last time, not that anyone would notice.

I noticed. Something else Crumpet clued me in on was that people think if you don't respond to their comments, you don't care, or notice. I told her I was going to try to do better about that because it is totally not the case for me. The people I most admire I have said the least to, if anything at all. I try to stay out of the way unless I see something that I just can't leave alone or either see someone in a state that I have been in and might want to know what helped me...just in case.

I can't really think of anyone here that I consider "unnoticeable". Silence does not always equal indifference.

Nice to see some proper english coming out from overseas again...and yea...I'll be taking the piss out of you for at least a little while longer, Miss C. Oh...remember me warning you about the weeks after you got back? Do ya?

This is called family...I know we have to remind ourselves of that sometimes since some of us never really knew what it was in the first place. It aint perfect...but it is ours as much as we want it to be. Be nice.

Yes, Mr bloody-know-it-all. If I have an image of you, its you telling me that, except I dont remember what words you used as you skipped away from the porch as I smoked the first 2008 cigarette. And yes you were right. I'll concede that point.

RCrusoe - sometimes someone says something that is spot on and THAT is! I think if we all chucked away that respectability shroud and said what we really felt as opposed to what we think we should feel, or something to match an image of ourselves that we wish to portray we'd all benefit from it. The real people are the ones you meet underneath the image, those that drop it and are just themselves and it blows me away when I meet people who can do that and the real person is much more human and loveable than any you could invent.

GREAT POST WLG!

I've stayed away from all the controversial crap of late. Too poisonous for my psyche.

Thanks for this very positive post.

I'm glad you decided to stick around Locutus. I would have missed you eventually. It takes a while sometimes around here.

of the, wish I could prove how real I am, class

That was beautiful, WLG, and a great reminder considering all the drama for your mama lately.

I think you sell yourself short in the looks department, my friend. After you walked in the house for the first time, one of the girls in the band whispered to the other, "There's a really sexy plumber in the living room." LOL - some of us like the blue collar type. I don't know how smart you are though - I'll have to take Nina's word for it. ;-) My only regret over New Year's was that I didn't get the cleaning done in advance because I really wanted to hang out with you and the Mastodons more.

Can't wait til May!
