This is what happens when you separate the Nows from the Laters, I a
box of Now & Later candy. Eating all the Laters will throw off your
sleeping schedule. The Nows should have no adverse effects - unless
you want to sleep later.

What about the Chuma-esque "Something happened to me and if you plead

I wasn't talking about his posts as a whole, but instead was talking
only about the coy ones. And I didn't say "desperate," nor "any
attention at all."
>But trolling can be a cry for attention, too.
Well of course it is, Paula, as is posting pics to Flickr and inviting
people to look, or buildng vanity webbages, or simply posting to the
Usernet, trolling or not. Whether any of those actions constitute a
"kinda sad cry for attention" is another matter altogether.

I don't think I ever said anything about Chuma. You can be as mean to

So it's not being meen per say that bothers you but being meen to
people who trigger some maternal instinct in you. I have no maternal
instinct--or if I do, it's undernourished and living in a closet under
the stairs (there are no stairs in my house, however).
I have different criteria for my own meenness seal of approval, and
individual criteria seem appropriate for Usenet.
Now see, I try to refrain from being mean to Chuma most of the time
because he cries so piteously when someone teases him or is meen to
him. It's like smacking a puppy. Lots42, on the other hand, is
capable of firing back and seemingly has no problem with doing so.
He's plenty meen himself at times and should therefore, by my
reasoning, be treated like one of us (i.e., able to take it as well as
dish it out). It's so patronizing to say that he should be given
different treatment because he's "handicapped."

I did. I haven't seen a single post, though I haven't seen many
lately, that doesn't reveal a desperate need for attention. From
girls in bars, from groupies at concerts, from usenet people, from
work people... NTTAWWT, but that's my take on what Chuma is all
about.

I have individual criteria as well, only Chuma annoys me more than
Lots does overall for various reasons too long to discuss right now.
The short version is the Lots is annoying from time to time, while
Chuma creeps me out from time to time.

Oh. Boy did I read you wrong. I thought you were saying that the whole
of the posts belies the occasional post seeking attention, that such
posts are the exception to the rule. That's why I thought you were
snarling at me the way Darla snarls at me when I'm meen to Lots42.
Can we go back to being meen to them both now?
BTW, I still stand by my assertion that we're all attention-whores on
this bus. Some of us just don't charge as much as others, and aren't
nearly as picky about who we get the attention from.

I mostly ignore Chuma's posts. We have very different interests, and
he doesn't really participate in a conversational way, so there's not
much in his posts for me. Lots, OTOH, ranges from funny to tedious to
pathetic to really, and you never know what you'll get until you read
the posts (except the "Conversations with ..." posts are almost
garonteed to be funny. So him, I'll read.
But I don't expect anyone to have the same criteria as I do. There is
no cool table. One of the things I like about Usenet is that each of
us can set up our own imaginary cool table and it doesn't matter who's
at mine or yours or anyone else's.

Probably. Most liberals are like that. It's why we love and protect

all the while claiming to be huddling under the "animal lover"

The word "attention" is inclusive of "negative attention," and being as
how (<-- ANOTHER DARLA TROLL!) Tim responds to negative comments
concerning either himself or his friends with apoplectic outrage, it
would appear that he is not trolling for "any attention at all." I, on
the other hand, truly *am* desperate for any kind of attention, either
negative or positive.
I'll admit to having been disappointed when two posted pieces of music
of mine, as well as a graphic design portfolio, were both met with icy
silence from arkians. True, the media of music and graphic design- and
band photography, for that matter,- are not the provenance of ark;
ARKians wants something textual they can quote, manipulate, deconstruct,
and reconstruct into something fun'ni. But at the same time, ARK is also
a journal where participants share what's been going on in their own
lives, and to this degree our personal projects are fair game, even if
we can't expect a ready-made appreciation society for the products of
our efforts. The thing with Tim Chuma, though, is that he's stuck in
Show-and-Tell mode most of the time, while only a small fraction of the
time is he in participatory mode.
Obversely, I've posted some of my ark things to ncdnb/MySpace, which
occasionally gives me real-world affirmations, although the collision of
worlds can be jarring. One guy at a house party complimented my writing
in the story about the car crash outside my house, and another guy at a
club last Friday recognized me as "Tagutcow" and told me how much he
enjoyed "the piece about the homeless people." (Another side effect of
worlds-collision is that I had to edit out a reference to Temp Agency
Gurl from the former when I added her to my friends list.)
The kerfluffle with Laura on ark- and ensuing private correspondances-
spilled over into real life, where I had vitriolic email exchanges with
two other people, and one of them- the promoter for a d'n'b weekly I go
to- attempted to ban me from the venue (I attended despite the ban,
fully intending to fight him if he attempted to remove me bodily.
Although the man working the door said I wasn't allowed in when I
arrived, I was eventually admitted after being gently scolded in the
parking lot. I like to think the apparent change of heart was because
the promoter realized his hopes of "getting lucky" with Laura by siding
against me were destined to fail.) I've since had to break off
friendships with two other people because of it.
She also shared extremely private entries from my ark history with
people. I have been chastened about sharing details of my life from this
experience, and I feel bound from talking about people in my life for
fear that she will contact these people, attempting to malign me, and
sharing details of my life with them that they have no business knowing.
My birthday party was a sad affair as I could only scrape together a
handful of people, although an innocent, offhanded question- "Whatever
happened to that crazy chick?"- was the best present I could have gotten.
Oh look... I forgot to censor/euphemise her name! Dear me, what a
tragic oversight!

Eh, most of my usenet experience has been this way.I posted, sloppily,
lyrics to "Armageddons Child", the version that begins with "Once a
wheatfield now sandy", and missdplelled a word-which drew the only
comment, the spelling.<shrug>

I have had good experience with real world collision, thoug it was
straight from "you are a drug addled looney" usenet experience to a
"wlecome to the Dpartment of Justice, NSA, CIA, Navy, Air Force, Coast
Guard, Secret Service, Persia Professor" reallity via
academe.Obvioudly, my usenet antics were on my mind so I toned down my

No, actually, that doesn't have any bearing on whether he has a huge
need for attention. Of course he prefers positive attention, who
doesn't? Just as clearly, he lacks the social skills to judge what is
likely to bring him negative attention instead of positive attention
and to handle it when the attention he gets from his efforts is
critical instead of approving. But he still is desperate for
attention and would take negative attention over no attention at all.
If he disappeared for a while when the attention was derogatory, you'd
have a stronger argument.

What are arkians supposed to say about your music and graphic arts
posts? I usually skip posts like that, even if they are IBC type
music posts and I really like the vast majority of the IBC guys. It's
just that music and graphic design is not that interesting to me and I
certainly don't have anything to add to a discussion on those topics.
So even if I were to take the time to listen or look, I wouldn't be
likely to respond. What would I say? I figure Kibo can talk graphic
design with you and others can talk original composition with you and
that's great. I don't whine that you shouldn't post it on ark, but I
don't have any reason to post a response. I doubt I'm the only one
who doesn't feel qualified to be a music critic. If that were all you
ever posted, you'd end up in my killfile not because I hate you as a
person but because there would be no point in seeing any of your posts
because of subject.

Why? Do you have too many psycho bitch supporting friends? I can't
remember how old you are, but if it any age past middle school age,
you should be able to find people to hang out with who don't play "if
you're enemies with so and so, you're enemies with me." From what I
remember of your posts, you're probalby going to have to find them in
places other than where you have been looking for friends, however.
One of the pitfalls of being in "poor sad me" victim mode is that you
attract victimizers as well as other victims. It's not likely to land
you in the middle of a bunch of well-adjusted and mature friends any
more than Chuma's plan of attack is getting him any actual dates.

The formatting of your posts occasionally makes it difficult to tell
the difference between new material, reposted material, and material
appropriated from outside sources. You also post lots of lyrics from
other people.
That Van Halen "Dreams" video is truly motivational. All I need is a
few rails of coke and those blue skies will keep smiling on me 'till the

It was a passing mention, butI was afraid that she would be disturbed
by the very fact that I even mentioned her, and that I assumed my
internet audience was already familiar with the character of Temp Agency
Gurl. The worst thing I've ever said about her is that she can be
bitchy; the best thing I said about her- that she's hawt- is more
problematic since she's engaged to the man she calls her "Jew plumber."
The fact that I get raked over the coals when I talk about my "Jew
dentist" illustrates the importance of context; also, of boobs.

Meaning: With every passing year, your expectations are lowered
incrementally until you get to the point where you can't possibly be
disappointed any more.
BTW, I the "three-door grape" joke had me in stitches, so I posted it
in a MySpace bulletin. Aforementioned club promoter (before he
unfriended me) responded simply with "NOT funny!" I think it's probably
a pretty good litmus test of a person's sensibilities.

You do realize, of course (that was rhetorical, no?), that you

I'm not being mean because he has me killfiled, but if you reply...

Same here, I guess, though I'm perfectly willing to admit that
sometimes the point I wish to make is "Grow the hell up and stop being

Tim rarely makes my "must-read" list, mainly because I don't care for
bad Hong Kong movies or Austrian bands. I do hope he finds a job, just
as I did for Kibo.

You gotta look at Darla's SmArk Petz page. Even Buster the Wonder Dog

pitcher of my dog is really making me paranoid.

There is no alleged cool table, but if there were, we
would not admit it existed. Some people think they
are sitting at the cool table when they are really
at another school that uses short buses. To them, I
suppose, it makes no difference. They live happily
ever after as if they were at the cool table, while
the alleged genuinely cool people smile condescendingly
as they rise to their apology.
While it is true that many people do have their own
relative mental image of the cool table, there are
some who believe there is an objective measure of
cool. In theory, there could be one real cool table
that only a select few sit at. While the masses go
through life with delusions of coolness, the perfect
people (who once were conceited) would sit in their
smugness at their own special table.
We deserve each other. Allegedly. People at the
cool table don't need to talk about it. What? What
makes you think I'm talking about it?

Well, yeah, so do I. He's not creepy as in needs to be locked away
and wished ill, just creepy as in don't want to read and makes me
wonder. And the Hong Kong movie reviews and pictures are boring.
Perhaps if I were a dood and desperate to see pictures of chyx, I
might feel differently about the clubbing recaps. I can't think of
anything that would get me excited about the movie reviews.

I would rather live my life believing that there is no cool table, only
to find out there is, than live my life as if there is a cool table,
only to find out there isn't. For the moment we start believing in the
cool table, it ceases to exist.

So what is the difference between the two, when the subjective
attitudes of both the genuinely allegedly cool people and the deludedly
cool people apropos the cool table itself are identical?
This is reducible to any number of other philosophical problems, all
tricky.
We can never be sure of how others percieve us. Yeah, please keep me
posted on any developments in that story.
