post ITT for something i like about you and something i dislike about you. unless you are kerry, it's something that i actually dislike instead of being something like "i dislike that you're so frickin cute lol!!!"
despite seeing a good chunk of forum posts from the pair of you and having fleeting opinions of each of you, i don't have anything memorable or noteworthy to say, sorry
there are a couple of things i like about you but none of them really stand out. you're well-intended/decently nice/friendly etc like a lot of people. i like that when we do talk i feel like i'm talking to a proper friend and that we are friends, despite how fleeting our conversations can be
i dislike how you very willingly and shamelessly shoot down and degrade my personal opinions often on the forums because you think i'm recycling some garbage i read on a blog site. it's really degrading and honestly kinda offending that you do that because i'm just trying to speak my part and contribute and you're like "lol!!1 tumblr!!" like i live on the website. newsflash: i don't. tumblr as a whole has a huge variety of communities and fleeting opinions and i do well to keep my tumblr environment somewhere to enjoy. at one point, i was amazed and perplexed at the amount of "outcry", valid or not, that was available to be viewed but as a whole and overall i am very much an objective thinker and am not being "brainwashed" or "buying in" to some drama-dedicated internet blogging site
honestly. one of my favourite things about you is that you think i'm a really good player. it makes me feel somewhat accomplished because i know you're one of the most honest dudes on the site, despite being clearly misinformed in some places, or on some people. you're, somewhat ironically or surprisingly, also open-minded about some topics in general and have a whole lot of humility and modesty where you know you know you should have it. all of that could easily just be boiled down to intelligent honesty, and that's what i'll call it.
i already mentioned how you have a fervent dislike for certain users and some of them i really feel are unjustified. the most recent obvious example is melody. i won't go into detail, though. you have a really obvious tendency to latch yourself onto facts you deem as characteristic flaws that you enjoy pummelling the relevant user with and bringing new meaning to "beating a dead horse", especially when some of those facts are false (some undeniably so)
there's a lot of things i like about you, arcbell. you are an intelligent individual overflowing with good intentions and do very well to think objectively almost all the time, yet are very clearly human with emotions and not robotic at all.
you are one of the few people on the site who truly understands what i mean and intend 95%+ of the time and understand me as a whole. but sometimes, almost always when i have something to get off my chest, there is a disconnect. sometimes i'll joke about something in a rant or exaggerate as part of the rant and you'll take me seriously, and either hesitate to respond, hence feeling the disconnect, or agree wholeheartedly, making me feel i came across too strongly
dang. i like a lot about you, rondar. i forget you are (or were) quite young too cause i never felt like i was talking to someone less mature or impressionable (ala giga or pjmatt, believe it or not). even though we joked about adopting you. you are clearly intelligent and you have a good sense of humour and get along with a lot of people. you're not aesthetically displeasing nor do you ever say anything nasty or evil or bad to anyone. really there's a lot of things i could praise you for
you up and disappeared on EM and then when u came back we stopped talking. i didn't want to do a "i don't like that we don't talk" response because they are cop-outs and garbage. i probably would have something small or minor to say if we did interact so i guess it could stem from that. i considered you a good friend and we kinda just broke off
oh man now i feel pretty bad. I'M BACK NOW. for good i think this time. can't shake the (bad) mafia habit.
and that was a lot of really nice stuff, heh, thanks.
