Little Devil


I finally added a second picture to my chatting.com profile page. I had to find a picture that was small and I wanted something that was animated. I picked a cute little picture of a devil and turns. I thought it was adorable. Of course, people said it looked nothing like a devil. Oh well, my non-devil-looking picture is only there to please me so thanks for caring!

Freezing


I have noticed a lot of people complaining about their screens freezing when we are in the chat room. I had not really thought much about it but they were saying that the site was broken and the Admin needed to fix it. I thought this was curious but when I decided to chat at work. I found that my computer screen was freezing as well. If my computer at home doesn't freeze and mine at work does, I figure it can't be the site that is broken. It must be the server of some kind. Maybe the firewall at my work, has something to do with it or the number of people using it around lunchtime. I have checked online after the end of the day and things seem to work better. My best guess, no real proof other than observation, is that the site is working great. Let me know if I am way off base here!

Rumors


I had someone who does not usually talk to me ask me a question in private yesterday. It seems that my named was linked to a bunch of regs (2) that were dissing someone in the lobby less than a week ago. I was shocked because I am not a basher/hater. I do not know what was worse, the rumor or the person thinking it could be me doing it. There are so many impostors around but I thought people could tell who was who. I do respect the person who asked me if it was true because it makes me think that people do check facts. Of course, how can you tell what is real or not in this world of online. I barely know if the people I talk to are anywhere near what they pretend to be. I just hate to hear people that people get upset about stuff that is said here. I hope my words have not hurt anyone. I believe there is too much real hate in the world. I will say if you are trying to whisper to me....9/10 times you will be ignored so if that is what upsets you, it is not meant to be hateful. It is just a fact and you have been forewarned.

Party all the time!


Well, I guess I have heard, "Don't you have a real life!" one time too many. Yes, I do have a real life and thank you for being so concerned. I get up every morning on time and go to work. I have been staying late at work, sometimes as much as 3-4 hours lately completing my tasks. When, I get home I always call my mom and let her know I am still breathing. After talking to my mom, I usually like to work out so I can get recharged. I then take a shower and make something yummy to eat. I enjoy some good conversations with friends over dinner. Sometimes, I play video/board games with friends. I use to spend a lot more of my time studying for class but I am taking a semester off of school so I have some free time on my hands. Now, I could read a good book but I discovered and interactive book...called chatting and I really enjoy it. It is a way for me to have some time for myself because I haven't really had that in awhile. I can't party every night anymore so I look for a little peace. I am dating a little nowadays but mostly just eating and hanging out stuff. I guess if I found someone who I enjoyed more than chatting, you would see me online less often...

Levels of Friendship


Can you really have friends online? I think there are many levels of friendship within the online community. These of course, are just my observations.

Level 1- This is where you read a name and decided if you are going to respond. You feel nothing and do not care if you ignore the name or not. I think girls know after the first posting or definitely within the first 3, if they will give that person the time of day. Your opening line is critical. This person will never get acknowledged.

Level 2-This is where you will say hi or ask a few a/s/l questions or respond to someone doing the same. This is nothing more than causal conversation. You will not share personal things with this person or even entertain a response in a private setting. This is where most chat room chatters fall. Just exchanging cold, hallow words.

Level 3- This a person that you always acknowledge or friends of yours acknowledge (popular chatters). You spend most of your time interacting with their comments and/or shenanigans. This relationship may be love or hate. This person gets a lot of your attention and time. You will respond to comments in private settings but your answers are limited and brief. They will only know the character you play in the room and not beyond that. This is the relationship that most regular chatters have. You only know what you are told and you have to decide what you do with that information.

Level 4-This is a person who gets a lot of your attention. You have private jokes and your day is a little better when they stumble into the room. You never avoid a conversation in a private setting. You talk about things beyond the character you are playing in the room. You show who you want to be beyond that character. This is where people can get hurt. They open themselves and show a weakness and trust that other person is doing the same. You will reveal pasts hurts and future dreams but you are not dealing with someone you can actually see or feel online, which can be good or bad. You cannot hold each other but you cannot see the reaction or if they are even paying attention to you alone or five others at the same time. This is why a lot of people avoid this level. This is where online relationships take you out of the real world and you get wrapped up in the drama of the online world. I believe you have the most to lose or gain during this level and it's not like you have 88 friends in this level at once.

Level 5- This is a person that has gone past the title of friend. You are having a personal relationship that is supplemented by online chat rooms. You are exchanging emails or instant messages outside of the room. You may also be using telephone, camming or other electronic devices to maintain your relationship. This could result in a personal face to face meeting in the real world. This does not happen very often but when it does it usually is very successful.

Tell me what you think? Unless you are to shy to post an anonymous comment.

Unlucky Friday


I should be so excited to make it to the weekend but all I can do is think about how many bad things happened today. It all started with my alarm not going off. I had switched my second alarm on which goes off an hour later than I like it to. I had to catch up on emails at work instead of my super comfy awesome bed. At lunchtime, I discovered my firewall didn't block the chat site so I bounced in and right out again because people kept coming in my room and disturbing me. I had dinner plans but they got messed up so I ended up eating left-overs at home in my PJs. I settled in for a long chat night and I was met with madness. I am starting to think something happens to people on the weekends. They lose it a little. I decided to take a break and come her to vent a bit. I really do not know why I am feeling so blue right now! The plan is get off my ass and chat until I drop or smile whichever comes first.
