h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sorry, my inner bitch is typing this - it is nothing to do with me.

I have managed to avoid her recently. Mainly by sticking to the UG and AWW threads, though she is whineing around the threads, rejecting offers of on the basis that it isn't real. Of course it isn't f**king real! This is the sodding Internet fer crissakes!

Is it my imagination or has our sweet child of Bristol calmed down since her warning, and become a little less dismissive, even if she is still petulant? As I said, I have not been in the active threads much.

I confess, I love the idea of a Pan-club....

an inner bitch called Ben

I'd say count me in except for the fact that she'd looooove the attention. Isn't that what all the pathetic whining and shock-value-only statements are meant to accomplish? Gives her an excuse to feel persecuted so she doesn't have to take a damn bit of responsibility for herself. Humph.

The AntiMoG

UG and AWW threads, huh? I'll have to check them out. It looks like she hasn't found 'How Do I?' yet either. I know of a few threads in there that would be a ruin if she started her wise and witty one-liners, like saying that being an anti-nazi is the same as being anti-black.

What's , if you don't mind me asking? 'rejecting offers of on the basis that it isn't real.' That actually made me laugh out loud, cheers. Two words come to mind, 'wit' and 'f**k', albeit in a different order.

She had a warning? From whom? TPTB?



Well, seeing as we have enough members to start a support group, what the hell:

I just can't stand the way she thinks she's oh so damn individual and free-thinking, yet she is one big walking fad-clad cliche, it drives me up the wall. Do you know (*looks about, leans in*), she doesn't just state her opinions, oh no, she also sometimes 'says other peoples opinions also'. Blimey, what a clever bean.

I love therapy.

Other than the football forum and the FFFF forums, the only place I regularly hang out is Ask H2G2. You can't avoid her there; she's omnipresent. Does that make her a god?

Near as I can tell, she got into a huge flame with someone, probably right around the time I yikesed her post to me away... the one containing the quote Ste opened this forum with. I think they might have threatened her with pre-moderation.

*giggling* (Not me, you understand, my inner bitch of course).

is the double-smiley for the rolling meet created by GTB.

Yep - thank goodness for quite places.

AWW is getting to be both interesting and fun. And I am developing a massive respect for Spiff who appears to have been fishing in there solo for months.

Spiff's good people, in my experienxce, I must say...

Hi all, just passing through. I must say i have difficulty taking seriously anybody who takes Marilyn Manson without a huge amount of tongue in cheek...

...mmmm...

'You can't avoid her there; she's omnipresent. Does that make her a god?'
I would like to see her reaction if we started a religion (never mind a support group) over that. She isn't the most tolerant person towards different creeds. *snigger*

'she got into a huge flame with someone, probably right around the time I yikesed her post to me away'
Hmm, right about the time I yikesed her posts laying into Justin in quite a horrible way, after I found his testimony and pasted the link (which I now think was a mistake)?

Has anyone else noticed the sheer indignation/rage that ensues when *anything* to do with mental health issues is mentioned? I said that the Raelians were insane (which they clearly are ) and she went off on one. I also speculated about the mental health of Justin (who I am actually genuinly worried about, especially after reading his testimony) and that was moderated as apparently it *could be* offensive to talk about the mental health of other researchers. She complains about censorship, yet uses it at the first mention of loonies.

I like it. Also noted is the fact that it's a mini-smiley-conga...

*Checks out AWW*

Ste

Check out the M.Jackson thread for mental defense!

The J t P attacks were quite amazing. I think she has toned down a bit though ..... my other half has a theory that she gets worse if the poster is female.... anyone noticed?

I don't know when that was, Ste, so I can neither confirm nor deny. One thing I do know... JtP actually did get premoderation. I noticed it when I was online and got an answer from him; I had to wait about an hour to read it.

I've yet to see her argue with a female, for what that's worth.

That's a good point, I've never noticed the female thing.

Justin's been on pre-mod for ages, since he arrived after being banned from the BBC message boards and I decided to yikes anything of his that broke the house rules.

I just read the Michael Jackson thread. She accuses everyone else of being arrogant and ignorant, and even is claiming that Americans overreact . Someone should tell her that being open-minded doesn't mean believing everything you read/hear.

Ste

Mind if I complain about her too, being the one she normally fights about religion with?

I would like to introduce Amy to the group. Please, stand up Amy and tell us about yourself and your problems, don't be afraid, we're all friends here.

*has really no idea what to say to get things going*

Well... er... she's absurdly misinformed about a lot of stuff, and that drives me mad. And the egoism ticks me off, coupled with the fact that she's highly hypocritical in her views of other people and what she allows herself to do.

Whatever you want to say is fine, Amy... this is therapeutic, after all.

I totally agree with what you're saying about hypocrisy, too. The first conversation I had with her started off as a basic rail against the sheep mentality of people in choosing their music... and the more I talked to her, the more I discovered she's following the herd in just about everything in life... including music. She just belongs to a different music herd.

The conversation was one she started to rant about pop music, but her Satanism thing is nothing more than silly teenaged adulation for a pop star.

Exactly... and I feel rather bad saying this as I'm only two years older than she is, but it's such an ugly, angsty, teenage phase she's got going there. She's always ranting on and on about how she's so individualistic, misunderstood, and taken for granted. It's only cause she's so absurdly typical of her type - when she gets some true individuality, then she'll be worthy of all the attention she wants.

Oooh. And the bit about her writing a book and having massive parinoia attacks when she finds out she's not special in that. Being a writer myself, I know that we're prone to parinoia, but she takes it to an ugly extreme. And that more saddens me than ticks me off - because she has absolutely no idea that she's not the first idealistic teenager to write what they think is a novel that will change the literary world, and she has no clue that writing one book will actually cost her more money than she makes from it.

I think the only reason I even speak to her at all is cause I feel sorry for the creature.

Darn that overactive sympathy gland.

Hehe... good old-fashioned teenaged idealism. Soon enough, she'll get old enough to discover that she doesn't know enough about the world right now to have any clue as to what needs changing, or how to change it.

I tried writing a novel when I was 16, but I was involved in a lot of other things at the time, so it was slow going. A few months later I went back and read the several chapters I'd put together, and recognized they were crap. I'd already learned so much since I started that I realized I had much to learn yet before I was ready to write it.

But I never for a moment thought I was the only one my age writing a book... I never even took it for granted that I was the only one in my school. And I tend to use myself as a benchmark for hubris, if only because I've been called arrogant and egotistical so many times.

Ye gods.

I started writing when I was about 13 to see if I could. I just sorta never stopped. Most of what I've written is crap, but what little good there is I'm playing with now as a more mature writer and more mature person to see if I can't turn it into something more respectable. But I never thought I was the only one to do it - my best friend was a writer as well.

*evil laugh* I'd sort of like to see the look on her face when she realizes how immature she's acting... (thus ends my evil need for the day)

*stands, head bowed*

I'm mrsthe wife and I too have *issues* with the omnipresent one.

Ooh, that feels better. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way! The satan worshipping, only liking musicians that she perceives as tortured and misunderstood is an irritant. The whole melodramatic "I am a writer, starving in my garrett... a tortured artist that no-one understands" thing winds me up immensely.

I can't wait for the rejection letters to flop with a sickening thud on her doormat.

I feel bad saying it, but so do I. Which is bad, cause I've got every chance she does of that happening.

Actually, what really gets me is how she thinks shes sooooooooo informed and educated at 18, that she's read "too much" already. Come on now, don't be so modest.
