1. because you're a boring person?
I had a mentor who always told me only boring people get bored.

3. I don't think that's true. Everyone gets bored.
Maybe I'm a boring person, though... :shrug:

4. Sure, ok, but how rude is it for someone to come in and proclaim that everything is boring?
People are here sharing problems, funny stories...many of them personal. The OP can't try to take the time to see where people are coming from. Nope. They are just all boring. Nice.

5. I don't want to get in an argument. So let's talk about sex.
Do you like vanilla or kink? :)

12. Yes. Not to start an argument, but I the OP was about threads
not people. I was not offended.

16. That is my dungeon master. I'm his sex slave.
He ties me up and reads me stories about demons. He's not a demon, but he's savage in the sack. GRRRRRRRR!

20. Yes. He likes to tie me up with ropes and cast spells
in Latin. But, it's his British accent that does it to me. That, the tweed, and the glasses.

23. I've also got a bridge to sell you. Did you actually believe
that Anthony Stewart Head is my sugar daddy? Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Giles



He so sexy. I love you, love you Mr. Head. SWOON!

30. I'm out of touch with TV shows nowadays.
Buffy went off the air in 2003 or something. I just watch it on DVD. I wish I could be the love slave of the whole cast.

I'm gullible too.

31. Not all the threads
and not all the time. Seems like it comes and goes in fits and starts. Sometimes it's rambunctious and raucous. Sometimes it's as if everyone knows each other and they are all best friends...except you. And sometimes California Peggy will call you Dear "..." and you feel like part of the crowd. I think, if all the threads seem a little dull and I don't feel like adding a response, I should start my own. I hardly ever do, though. But you could. :)

36. it was more fun here before
during the day though, most of the threads seem like PM inboxes burped out for public consumption.

i'll take non sequitur and silliness any day rather than people throwing their usernames at each other all day long.

some of the night shift here can be fun.
