Main Menu Discussion Area

Hi everyone- how are you doing? I'm sure that some of you are wondering how I am reacting to the recent DSK post. That is what I am going to be writing about so if you think I am whiney, self-indulgent, or childish, you might want to stop reading now. I wanted to thank everyone(Dave, Rick, David, Allison, Jordan, Nachoboy, and Rob-you rock, man!) who worte in response on the Discussion Area. I hate writing all of these disclaimers but I feel it is necessary now because people are analyzing everything I say and I don't want to give the wrong impression. I'm sorry if this post is fragmented but I started this post at 9:30 and it is now almost 1am. I had a potentially BIG fight with Rick and we just got off the phone all made up. It is strange how someone can say one thing meaning one thing and another person can interpret that as something totally different. That is what just occured between us. And I think that holds some truth here on the site. I was not trying to elisite symphathy or pity from people by what I was writing. I am not sure what people were refering to with that but I assume it had something to do with the post I wrote about my ex-boyfriend from high school. I gave people information as exactly that- background information to help explain what I was feeling. At least that was my intention- obviously some people missed that. When I started writing for the site, I saw it as sort of a game- it was fun but I didn't really think about people's reactions to what I was saying. Dave always stressed that he wanted us to write with emotion and write how we felt not just describe what happened. That was all I was trying to accompolish. I really need to determine why I feel the site is important and what I am hoping to achieve by all my posting. For this reason, I have decided to take some time off and gather my thoughts before I continue posting. I have discussed this Dave and Rick, and I feel that it is necessary to state that I am not running from what DSK and Angel have said, I just don't find the UC enjoyable right now. I felt tremendously worse on Monday though, and my better mood is due to all the wonderful posts you wrote. Thank you all so much- you have really made this experiance bearable and you all are just great. I hope to talk to y'all soon. Take care.
