Hehe oh I see how you are.

He should write a novel or something.

 

 

 

I started one years ago.  Lost interest.  But it was good.  Not as good as I could do nowadays, but good.  Lots of stuff that you skipped over as you read it then it popped up later unexpectedly so you had to try to remember what you had skipped.  Very little sex and violence but still interesting.  Good story line.  Only seven or so main characters.  Almost believable fiction.  No where's near as totally awesome as this:

Didn't mean to brag.

Ahh see!

 

I knew he did. :D

It feels good to re-read those posts.

 

When I wrote the first post of the Tinker thread I had no idea that Jon and Trisha would end up dead or that Jake would walk through the glass columns with Sandy.  Since the gawkers so thoroughly hurt my feelings I guess we'll never know what became of Tip.

What gawkers GG?

Hehe oh I see how you are.

 

;)

GG COME BACK AND EXPLAIN THE GAWKERS! :D

I am the one of whom he speaks!

:-\

 

(Single spam emoticon :D)

I don't think you are.

 

i do!

 

>:D

How do you know?

I know....a lot of things....that I am not supposed to...

 

 

Just ask Eel

ROFL.. there is nothing Eel knows that I don't know. :D

when it comes to me there is!  :P

Oh?

yes...

 

 

should I have not said that?  ;D

Oh I don't know lol :D

We are....VERY good friends...

As are we, (Eel and I)

Gawkers.  Peep show peepers.  Peeping Toms.  Silent observers.

 

For countless days I posted and they came to read my lines.  The Faithful Forty Fans.  Always eager to gaze upon the beauty of the day.  Anxious to see what could be seen.  But, when it came time to interact, they fled.  They remained silent.  They posted not a word (with one exception whom I thanked properly).

 

It made me feel violated.  All that time I thought that we were enjoying each other, it was them gawking at my words.  Craving more of me.  Giving nothing in return.  A faceless rape.  Being touched by unseen hands.  Performing on TV for an audience that you can never get an ovation or a boo from.  Sure, some people do that for a living.  I write for the attention.  No attention, no words.

 

Gawkers.  Word thieves.  No-pay Johns and Janes.  Old news.

Awww... that is sad. :(

And unnecessary.

 

What harm would it have done for a few of them to say something like:

 

"GrandpaG, you're a crazy old fart!  But I look forward to reading your posts."

 

or

 

"Why didn't you just kill the bad guy and let Jon live?"

 

or

 

"That was a sick pun with Jackson and Datsun."

 

or

 

"You're concept of life after death is...unique."

 

or

 

"You suck."

 

 

Anything would have been better than silence.

 

I really didn't think that my request for feedback was out of line.

Well GG I think you are a crazy old fart and I enjoyed your stories when I had time to read them. :D
