VeggieLover

K, here it goes:

Vegangelica I've said it before and I'll say it again, I really respect this member a lot. She's informed, she says what she thinks, and most importantly she's RESPECTFUL about it. The first member to acknowlge my existence and to help me with my writing. Thanks! I don't mean this last bit to detract from my extreme like of her, but she does occasionally overstate, overexplain, or (rarely) overqualify. These are qualities i dislike about my mom, so i get annoyed (on very rare occasions!)

Vanilla I really don't talk to her a whole lot... but for some reason she doesn't come across as the smartest to me...don't know why and I try not to hold it against her because sometimes she has something really smart to say. Maybe just a prejudice against her Lady Gaga preferences?

Freebase Dali You remind me of my favorite people that I know in real life. You seem angry, a little cynical, but very intelligent and actually very refined (in a carelessly unrefined way??). you know how to say what you think when you think it without feeling the need to qualify it while still seeming legit. Don't know how you manange it. You used to piss me off a lot, but you just took some getting used to. You're one of my favorite members. Not to mention you are smokin hot.

Lateralus You just seem like a bundle of creative energy to me. I absolutely love your songs (Amy i think its called is my favorite! and the MB member one was fun). You have that calming female presence that I lack. I like you too much to say more

Kayliegh (i think thats spelled right?) You are a riot. You don't overstep the boundries of your experience, so you usually have very imformative posts. You have a classic sense of humor and gorgous hair.

Boo Boo I missed your posts for a while there. I really enjoy arguing with you though you can in fact be exasperating... you force me to think about the (exact!) implications of what I'm saying, back it up, and still manage to keep on track. Its a challenge, but I dare say you've helped me develop my skills a bit, so thanks Every once in a while you say something that makes me think you are a lot younger than you are. I think maybe you need to take kickboxing or something and get all that anger out of your system. Oh, and the whole bald woman thing...very endearing, don't know why.

Terrible Lizard I talked to you for a long time when i first signed up and then you just kind of turned into a troll. You seemed decent and now...not so much. Sorry.

AwwSugar You seem very calm and intelligent, but you don't give us a whole lot of insight into your personallity other than to make me say "oh, i think i really like her"

NumberNineDream I like you a lot. It may just be from your pictures (and I LOVE your pictures, your hair is fantastic) but you seem to have this kind of "dark" air about you. Not angry or cynical, just kind of dark, mysterious maybe. Your posts tend to be kind of reserved but still very imformative. Bravo, i envy you that talent!

B town you are a lot of fun. You come across as young (and thats ok cuz you are) but thats not a bad thing at all. yup, ur gonna be awsome sometime soon. (well, you already are...just awsomer)

Dreadnaught Your avatar fits the attitude i get from you PERFECTLY. quietly hilarious, ingeniusly witty, and you have this kind of "i laugh at the world" air about you. I like it *high five*

Pink Cigarette wow you're hot.

Rain or maybe it's Rainfall... you still owe me a poem thats going to make my jaw drop!! i will not forget! But i haven't seen you post in a long time. Very sad.


K, thats what I really think. Idk why but i switched from "he/she" to "you" after the 2nd entry. sorry.

Thanks, I didn't think I'd be on your list as we crossed paths so very few times. Plus believe me, there's nothing enviable about my "dark" posts, it's just a symptom of my disability to express myself.

You do realise I like music other than Lady Gaga and have a journal to show what I like? Like you said, you don't talk to me much so how can you really know?

Heh heh...I finally looked in this thread and realized I was mentioned.

Urban, I am actually not a militant sprout muncher. I am a militant *bean* muncher. And I certainly am madder than a box of frogs (who I assume are still alive)...much madder, actually, although I try to convert my anger into positive action.

I am angry like the 800 million people on the planet who are malnourished while half of the world's grain and 1/3rd of the fish "harvest" are used to feed livestock raised primarily for the wealthy.

I am distressed like Rajendra K. Pachauri, the head of the Nobel Prize-winning U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which pleads (with little impact) for people to reduce their meat consumption to combat global warming, since the livestock industry produces more greenhouse gasses than all the world's transportation machines.

I am horrified and hurt like the baby piglets bashed by people against the concrete because the piglets are runts or are ill; the mother pigs going crazy in their factory farming stalls; the veal calves killed after several weeks of confined life so that people can enjoy ice cream; the millions of poultry raised in conditions that kill many of them and who, if they survive, suffer during slaughter; the asphyxiating, flesh-torn fish and marine mammals caught...many as "bycatch"...while humans decimate ocean ecosystems; the billions of animals whose one chance to live is snuffed out when they are adolescents because humans simply like how they *taste*.

And I'm saddened that so few people are encouraged to learn more about the realities of the impact of their food choices (on the world and on their own health). This results partly from the hold that the livestock industry has on governmental nutrition guidelines...and, sadly, on environmental policies, which allow the livestock industry to externalize the environmental and health harms it causes such that the general public pays for them. This allows the price of animal products to remain very low as the livestock industry profits at the expense of people and other animals.

So, I am indeed much more upset than a box of frogs. I wouldn't say I'm crazy, though, unless "crazy" means being "well-informed" and "concerned for others, especially those who are marginalized."

Yes, LoathsomePete, that was one of my MB disasters. I learned that my attempts to be playful with Freebase Dali just annoyed him...although when I PM'd Freebase to see if an apology was due because of my analysis of his "Placeholder Trilogy," he said, no, there was no need to apologize--he thought the thread had turned into a dysfunctional community artwork and was inspirational. On the positive side, I learned from this experience that Neapolitan and I appear to have a similar sense of humor.

Thanks, VeggieLover. I do try to be respectful...in my longwinded way. Oh dear...the three O's. Why do I tend to write such long posts? Let me explain...
.

ha ha! Just kidding! Thanks for your honesty, though.

Now, here is my opinion of Neapolitan:

I feel Neapolitan is a respectful, thoughtful, and kind person who has a strong spiritual side and a delightfully funny, quirky sense of humor. We are both Monty Python fans. I feel his sense of humor is unappreciated here. I am probably one of his biggest fans on MB and have in fact written a song for him (I assume he is a him) because I enjoy his way with words...but I think he is quite shy and so I have not posted the song lyrics yet. I am frequently impressed by Neapolitan. I find him to be charming. I have never seen Neapolitan lash out at anyone. He responds with grace and assertiveness to people who attack him. Neapolitan has been helpful to me in private messages as we discussed music, which I appreciated. He loves puns and finding unobvious connections among ideas and words (such as the connection between the Fibonacci numbers and my "Placeholder Trilogy" analysis of Freebase Dali's non-poem) which amuses me greatly. I think of Neapolitan as a gentle soul. I would jump into more of his lounge conversations (such as about religion), but I don't want him to feel stalked. When I see him writing a playful post, though, I do try to take the ball and run with it. For me, Neapolitan embodies the "playfulness" of MB that I seek out and enjoy immensely.

I agree, Neapolitan is the man, people just take his jokes the wrong way.
