Okay so like here's something not cool. Its been bugging me so I thought I'd share/bitch about it some more. I have been getting a TON of PMs asking about why this happened as well so I thought I'd explain the "insodent" here. So, it goes like this:

So I am minding my own business, when I see that Bre messaged me with something important.

She told me that I needed to change my avatar because several people complained. She didn't tell me who but said it was because there is a young crowd here. I don't blame her, obviously she is just doing what she thinks is the best way to fix the situation. She said it would be fine if she didn't have a 'choke ball' in her mouth because that just sets its over the top.

The thing that irked me though was that these compliants didn't come from whoever said them. Like nobody messaged me and said, "hey you know i'm kinda offended with your avatar, would you mind changing it?"
I kinda feel like who ever did this sorta went behind my back to "REPORT" me, you know? Thats not cool. What kind of kindergarden shit is this? Its like TEAACHEEEEER!!!!!!!!! HE'S LOOKING AT ME!!!!!! WAAAAAAAH!!!!!!
Give me a break.

Not to mention the fact I've been on here for a while and i've seen lots of avatars and sigs of similar or worse nature. Everyone has SWEAR WORDS in their sigs or on avatars, i've seen ones of slit wrists, someone has a body covered in blood, theres nudity, etc. Ajay told me there was an avatar of someone blowing their head off with a gun and it said something like "you like that, bitch?" Nobody said anything about that. I am just saying this to point out that if there is infact some type of strict rule, its certainly not enforced. So what it appears to be is that everything is cool unless someone says something about it? I'm hoping someone in this who is a mod can fill me in on this.

Personally, I don't give a rat's behind about what people have on their avatars. Unless it was like "SLAVIC GIRLS ARE UGLY" or something that would *personally* offend me.
However, even if something seriously DID bother me for a legitimate reason, I would certainly contact the person FIRST before tattling on them! Reporting to a mod is something I think would be done if you have contacted the person and lets say they say "NO, I'M NOT CHANGING THIS, SO FUCK YOURSELF."

You have probably noticed my NEW avatar by now. I chose to put it up to remind people that next time they have a problem with me, its perfectly fine to address ME about it first. I don't appreciate this behind my back shit when I don't even know I am doing anything wrong.

I may be overreacting about all this, but it really came as a shock to me. I've been on this board for a good while and have never caused any trouble. I dunno what the hell is going on anymore though. I just feel like I was being made to feel guilty and wrong about something I didn't even notice was taboo. I'm embarassed and irritated. This is innocent shame.

And now to leave you with something positive: I bought chocolate ground coffee from Hershey Park on Sunday...And it is sooooooo good. I'm going to go have sex with the coffee grounds now. Later! :)
