Description
No doubt this will be my most controversial stamp, but you know what? I don’t care. This is something that’s been eating at me for quite some time, and I need to get this off of my chest. So, please bear with me as I explain why I made it.
First off, let me clarify some things in case anyone gets the wrong idea
#1: I am not doing this for attention.
I couldn’t care less if people don’t comment on it. I’m doing this merely to vent because I am at the end of my rope. I cannot take this crap any longer.
#2: This is not aimed at people who have busy lives and cannot come on here very often.
I am fully aware of people having to take care of life at home and even work. That’s perfectly understandable. I would never dare demand someone actually put something important on hold just to come on for my sake.
However, if they can come on for 1-3 hours, and they spend that entire session talking their OTHER close friends and shun me or merely give me the last scraps of their time, as if that’s all I’m good for, that is where I draw the line. I believe in giving nearly equal time to all of those who you call a good/close friend because… nobody likes to feel unwanted or underappreciated.
#3: I am not demanding to be the center of attention or even their favorite of those they enjoy talking to.
If they have friends they enjoy talking to more than me, I’m perfectly cool with that, but is it so much to ask I get a fair portion of that time? I for one don’t think so.
You know, this doesn't bother that much when it’s with casual friends because you know… someone you chat with off and on isn't considered close to you. When it happens with a good friend, I feel a bit irritated then because this shouldn't happen even with someone you consider a good friend.But when it happens with a close friend, with someone who says I’m important to them and they wouldn’t want to lose me, I’m heavily offended. No scratch that, I’m deeply wounded emotionally. How could any of you dare say you value me or anyone else as a friend and then intentionally ignore them? You’re basically implying they’re expendable to you because if someone is important to you, YOU TALK TO THEM… DAILY WHEN POSSIBLE!
For those who haven’t done this to me or anyone else for that matter, and you know if you haven’t, then congrats. You’re a genuine friend to people in my book. You should be commended. However, if you have, and you know if you have, then you ought to be ashamed of yourself. You have no excuse for this. And don’t any of you dare give that BS about you don’t have time to talk to every important friend you have. That is complete crap. If you have time to do 30 minutes or even 3 hours of RP’s, chats or whatever with someone, then you can spend a part of that time making all of your friends you value feel you care about them. You make time for who you value most.
I only have one thing to say to those so called close friends who have jerked me around so callously: Get out of my life. No, I’m serious, get the heck out of my life and don’t ever show your sorry self to me again! To think I bent over backwards, made you feel important, used MY points to get you some nice gift art and even stayed up many night writing messages to you because I didn’t want you to feel ignored, and THIS is the thanks I get? You make me sick! Well, fine! If that’s how you want to play, I’ll gladly treat you the same way you treated me. Let’s see how YOU like being treated as expendable and non-existent!
I really ought to call you all out personally on this here, but that would not only be against DA rules, but make me look just as bad as well. So, I won't. And like I said, I’m merely doing this to vent my frustration.
In conclusion, if what I have written has offended you, I’m sorry, but I had to do this. I’m sick and tired of getting steamed up about this over and over and over. And for those who will scold me saying that I’m caring way too much about this place and should get a life… you’re probably right. I probably do care too much, but that’s only because that’s how much I value the close friends I made on here, and to have several of them just treat me with such disdain… it hurts me deeply.
I never thought they would do this to me. I thought they were too genuine and sincere to ever pull such a low stunt, but I guess I was wrong about them.
Anyhow, if you want to leave a personal comment about this, especially if this kind of thing has happened to you too, then feel free to, but don’t even think about flaming me for this. I will not only hide it, I will block you. I’m in no mood for harsh rebukes.
I’m ok with constructive criticism, as long as it’s done politely. I’m all for helpful advice about this because I know what I’m doing isn’t exactly healthy.

Me to, cause I really like the sound of Riley having a little sis, it'd be pretty nice ^^ Oh that sounds so sweet,I like that idea. I say go for it it could be interesting
Heh it would've been fun,I actually might've enjoyed all that stuff if I had a sister ^^

^^ Maybe you could even make Riley's lil sis tease her about Knuckles, making her blush. Heh, that'd be adorable.
Thanks, I'm glad you think so, though I'm not sure what color or feline breed to pick. I'll have to think it over. Yea, you just might have, Sparkle. Granted, I don't think it would have changed who you are as a person. I mean, you're a tomboy through and through.

Anytime hmm...why not do her in a breed and color you like? Just throwing out ideas
Nah, I doubt it would've changed me X3 I would've kept how I am, but I would've been fine listening and joining in activities with her. As I said before, you really know me pretty well ^^

SonicSatamX93 In reply to TheSparklyMisfit [2014-11-28 12:52:01 +0000 UTC]
Sadly, I kinda miss girlpower in today's media. I know they went overboard with it during its run, but what we have now is 100 times worse. I mean, there is nothing funny or entertaining about drooling fangirls, especially ones with no thought put into them.

Tell me about it... Don't you just love media? They either make girls domineering witches or brainless fangirls. Can't they just make female character in between for once? They don't have to be girl power, but show they are not arm candy for the guys.

TheSparklyMisfit In reply to SonicSatamX93 [2014-11-30 03:25:05 +0000 UTC]
I guess not, because that's all they've been reduced to. I mean, yeah they don't have to be pure girl power like you said, but I'd like them to be shown as something more than just as irritants or arm candy for the boys. That stuff just makes me really sick XP

SonicSatamX93 In reply to TheSparklyMisfit [2014-11-30 12:55:58 +0000 UTC]
What makes it even worse is you hear guys today want no part of the girl power era of the 90's, as if a girl being strong and independent makes them feel inferior.
