I say Double You Tea Eff in Real Life for reason that seem like they need not to be explained.


Edit: Why do my posts always get pushed to the next page?

Because you post the 20th reply...

Slayer, I think you can personally thank me for your proper typing on AIM. You've spent too long talking to me to still be typing like ass.

As for really annoying things? Here's one.

ModderMunsie: Yes, I have modded a single player map before.
If I knew him in real life, I would have went to his house with a hunting knife and gutted him. :x

People don't understand that other people can be busy, or not at their disposal 24/7. Half of that I started typing, and he kept spamming me. :|

More later. I want breakfast.

I completely agree. There is really nothing more annoying than trying to read a post filled with nonsense.

And to follow up on Munsie's comment, it is very annoying to receive instant messenges from people you do not know. It is breaking the Halomods rules to make unrequested contact outside of a PM with staff members, yet I receive numerous IM's from random forum-goers on a daily basis.

Oh, I have no problem against people messaging me, that's why I put them in my profile info. It's just the ones that spam, type poorly, ask for illegal content, etc etc that get on my nerves.

Too many people like that IMed me, if someone wants to know my screen name, they can PM me and I'll IM 'em if I deem them worthy.

It just got way too annoying to be IMed by ~10 new people a day (no joke, ask Tural, happens to him too I guarantee) and 9/10 of those people...ok more like all of those people, would be extremely annoying.

Now this is something that really pisses me off. I say someting funny, and a friend says "L-O-L dude". Others I've heard- "O-M-G" and "W-T-F"

Now I don't mind people IM'ing me. It's the people that `somehow manage to get on my nerves. I don't know if it's the way people type, spam, etc. but something does it.

And yes, I must say I thank Munsie for my proper typing on aim.
Also, going way back (around a year ago when I first joined), I used to type in aim lingo until someone on HaloMods (in the New Users section) told me something about typing `like so. And I thank them.

I occasionally use msn acronyms in real life, but only ever in a humerous way, I don't say it in a serious manner.

As long as somebody tries their very best when typing, I'm satisfied. Not everyone has excellent English skills, so if they make mistakes or anything, it doesn't bother me, it's just the small minority that purposely abreviate every last word in the English language, that fucks me off.

Another thing that I find really annoying, is When People Capitalize Every Last Word In A Sentence Then Go The Extra Mile To Annoy By Adding Loads Of Exclamation Marks!!!!!!!!

Now I know my English is far from perfect, but at least I try, and I always welcome people to correct me if I make a mistake. :)

I'll use it as a joke, not just because I'm to lazy to actually "laugh out loud". For example. if something really funny happens I'll say "Roffle" as a joke.

Something new-

Does love take two individuals?

Thinking about it, one can for say love another and simply be rejected, but isn't that contradicting the idea that love is a special bond between two persons? If what I say is true, then what happens when two love each other, then one looses faith (love) within the other; is it still considered love, or a mere crushing?

Post your thoughts.

Well...one person can love another person and not be loved back...there's still some love there.

It's not mutual...and may be a little creepy, but love is love. :|

From a non-religious standpoint, you are correct.

Now many a time, love is mistaken for lust...

I just set my accounts to only allow people on my buddy list to contact me. If I need to contact someone, I add them.

Because it was early in the morning, I'd been editing Firefox .dat files, and I found it amusing that instead of "True dat" you said "tru.dat"

Yeah...

On topic, no, I don't think two is needed.

Ooooooooh. That's why you're never online. Add me? >_>

As for the love thing; I suppose you can love somebody, even though they don't love you back. It's entirely possible, but as GTAF said, it can be kinda creepy.
