It seems that my to-buy list has grown a lot fatter lately. That’s probably not a good sign. Anyway, I’m more or less enjoying DET now; it’s way better than last semester’s.
That aside, Nick told me about the ‘Gerald Wong’ stuff in the mysdn forums. It’s pretty dumb actually. I actually managed to produce a flamebait while typing gibberish while I’m bored last few weeks ago in school. It’s a two word flamebait that goes “Fuck WoW”, and suddenly people everywhere in that forum starts to threaten me or fanatically try to insult and flame me back. It’s funny because I didn’t even try to make anyone angry. No wait, I rephrase: I didn’t even know I’m making anyone angry. I thought the forum is a bunch of 18-20 year olds…it seems that I overestimated the power of the digital age and their mentality. I thought most people my age surf forums, read blogs and comment & post etc. I guess I was wrong after all.
I don’t feel sorry though, except for putting a so-called “flamebait” in the forum. It was a mistake that I could’ve easily avoided after viewing some of the threads but frankly I’ve seen worse and proceeded anyway. Anyway, I directed that forum people to my blog. Probably another big mistake but I like giving second chances 
Actually, after thinking about it, maybe others grew from another kind of environment. I should’ve known and guessed, considering I’ve worked with people whose minds are beyond the boundaries of human wit. I’ve lived and grown up in another way I guess.
Let’s consider a few things hmm…
I’ve visited my first forum at 12 or 14 @ EoFF, was exposed to all kinds of problems and people through that site and AIM. summonillusion was a really depressed person then and we talked a lot. mog42 was a cool fun guy in his universities. Then there are a few random weird people. Then EQ came to my life. It’s like everyone I’ve interacted in EQ was at an average age of 30 or something. Then FoHguild.org. Not to mention John and afterwards YZ and not to mention a few others. Then arcadescrubs.com people made me really think that people around my age group IS like that. I mean, we flame, scold and talk crapshit about each other all day and no one feels the least bit insulted.
Wow, now I know why people my age don’t do things like me lol. Falling mushrooms, eating butterflies, whee~. I’m all for randomness but those things are really retarded. I think I’ll be weary of people from now on. It seems that I’ve been a little too deluded. 90% of the people I’ve met are more or less tolerable to my mindset. 10% I’ve never really talked to them and are best left to their own business. Now suddenly when I enter poly I am opened to a new breed of really strange people like what mostly makes up the DMD branch. And I got the strange feeling that those breed of people makes up the majority of the world, or at least, Singapore.
It’s really creepy.
