    "Oh man, I'm totally worried for this test!"

    "When is the test?" "This thursday!"

    Luckily for me, this Thursday, I'm required to take my computer compentency test, to prove that I can use a computer. This friday, I'm going to be performing at Disneyland in a parade, so I'll be missing school.

    Which means that, since there's no school this monday, I don't have to take the test until next tuesday~.

    Yay.

    I've had the greatest idea ever!

    Cathy lives in a house with like, thousands of cats. In fact, somewhere during the dream, her and yuma walk into her bedroom, where two cats are screwing each other. She stares at him intamitley and she says some witty dialogue about the cats doing eachother and yadda yadda yadda, they screw eachother like cats.

    I've had the greatest idea ever!

    I had a dream. A fantastic dream.

    Two, actually. The first was about my brother being a serial killer in a lettuce factory, and me voulantarily serving the 90 year sentence with him, but that's besides the point.

    I have a new fanfic idea!

    So Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. So like, there's Yuma and Astral. Now, the two start discovering that as number cards are being collected, Astral's memories are completed and he transfers slowly from invisible to fully visible by all (

    I know that in the canon series, the cards do nothing but bring back his memories, and his actual purpose is to like, destroy the world or something, but that's besides the point! D:

    SO ANYWAYS, as he spends time with Yuma, he starts harboring sexual feelings for his friend, Kotori. After obtaining all 99 of the number cards, Astral and Kotori finally get to spend time with eachother and stuff. They eventually fall madly in love and plan on getting married.

    BUT THERE'S A CATCH. Yuma has sexual feelings for Kotori too!

    BUT THERE'S A CATCH. Cathy has sexual feelings for Yuma!

    So Yuma get married to Cathy and Astral gets married to Kotori and they all screw eachother on a daily basis and have kids and stuff and it's silly because Astral still doesn't know anything about the human world and he is silly.

    There was about to be this really interesting scene when the kid asks what sex is, and all I remember is Astral throwing off Kotori's clothes in front of the child, then I woke up. Then I had that other dream.

    SO I SHOULD TOTALLY WRITE A FANFIC ABOUT IT, RIGHT?

    Don't you think we can be a little harsh on new users as a community at times?

    It's not like new members are neccesarily the only ones recieving flames. I've been here for almost 3 years and half of the community is still a dick to me.

    The reason why they dislike new members is because, you know, they're still learning the ropes, and they're not as good as stuff as the veterans. Also, there's the pre-established idea that new members are completely clueless., so people analyze their posts with a much different style of analysis. For instance, if you read a post by Nestling, most people will think "Oh, it's that retarded guy who won't shut the hell up about his "sex" life and how much he hates certain groups of people", mostly because that's the reputation I've brought up onto myself. I could be talking about something completely unrelated, but people will view my posts as negatives just because of the reputation that I've given myself. On the flip side, if a well liked member of the community posts the same thing as I might have posted, it would be viewed with different eyes, as the reputation that they've built for themselves is much more positive. Now, newer members don't really have a reputation to judge off of, but people know that "new members" as a whole can generally be "noobs", and their posts are automatically viewed with a negative tone, of someone who is completely clueless. This causes people to go "HEY MAN YOU SUCK SDFGJKSLDFNHGLSDJNHFGJKLSDNFLJKNSDL WHAT A NOOB", just because of the reputation that they haven't even build yet. Also, "pwning noobs" really is a "great" way of boosting reputation. If someone can totally "pwn a nub", then they've suddenly shown that they're a badass or something, as they can show dominance. This will get people to like them, and bring them to a higher social status, which leads to more friends, more respect, and the ability to totally say anything they want without being thrown down by the community.

    That's the mentality of like, all of the internet, and due to the attitude of a LOT of people I see that are active on the internet, there's not really much that can be done about this except tolerate it and keep the happiest face you've ever had in your life.

    I've been taking crap left and right for 6 years, because people think I'm stupid. Because people don't like the way I type. Because people think my interests aren't good. Because people will look at me and see a pathetic 10-16 year old whimp who refuses to change his attitude for the interests of others. I've been banned from plenty of forums for this, and had my abilities limited from others. Often times, I've been stuck in a lonely corner by myself, simply because I've refused to stop being myself. This is what most newbies come in as. They come in as themselves. They ragequit because they don't want to take all of the crap that the "molded" community throws at them so they can become more like the mold of person they want to see. They want to stay the way they are, and for the benefit of their sanity, they choose to leave, instead of spending so much time trying to live their lives normally on a place where, according to the veterans of the community, they don't belong.

    Of course, I'm a complete idiot and I'm oblivious to the fact that I could just leave and avoid all of the tears I've shed because of rude forum members. I'm oblivious to the fact that if I had just left, I wouldn't be trying to drown myself in the clogged middle school sink. I'm oblivious to the fact that had I just simply decided to stay in real life, instead of trying to live in this fantasy world, my life would probably be much different then it is now. On the flip side, my perseverence has paid off, as I've made so many new friends and learned so many new things from being on websites and forums like these for so long. So, can there be no compromise? Can new members be allowed to learn the ropes of a community and possibly change their lives without being shot by years and years of the fire of veteran users's mouths?

    Obviously not.

    The funny thing is that when I post, I don't actually think about what I'm typing about, so what I see as an inspirational message of hope and aspiration can actually be just a conglomarate of my horny 16 year old mind.

    I don't get politics sometimes.

    I understand that there are two incredibly different sides of the internet that share the ideas, I'm just saying it's silly that sometimes, people from the same place will be strong about BOTH opinions~. They'll be all like "omg Obama is a supper muzlim" then turn around and be like "wtf not everyone is christian, freedom of religion, mengz"
