Ubersite is either a healthy release, an outlet for feelings, frustrations, stories, ideas and opinions. Or it's an addictive waste of time in which nothing is really achieved, there are a handful of interesting people whom you'd like to meet one day, only they live on the other side of the world and the rest are time-wasting shitstirrers...I've participated in my fair share of wind-ups and the amusement of annoying someone you don't know is short-lived and ultimately unsatisfying.
But it sounds like I'm blaming my "away" time on other people, yet you're not the reason for my absence. I am. Ubersite was unhealthy for me just like any addiction i.e. online gaming (world of warcrack, poker), food (kfc and mcnasty), drugs (alcohol)...I've just listed my other old problem areas. The cause was depression, a lack of self-worth & too much self-pity.
What made me knock the pity monster on the head?
I decided that, for something I really wanted, I could change. I thought "I deserve better" and I realised that what was getting in my way was myself.
So what has happened in a year? (May 05 to May 06).
Lost weight ( 3 1/2 stone also known as 49 pounds)
Changed eating habits and diet
Regular exercise and gym attendance
Moved house (now joint homeowner)
Got married
Sunburnt on honeymoon
Loved ones suffered from cancer
One survived, 2 loved ones died
Job Offer
Broken ankle (this happened 5 days ago, I won't be able to walk for 6 weeks).
This list might not sound much to you, but it meant a lot to me. And that's what I've remembered (because I knew it once) that the people you love and care about are the most important things in this world. Work, education, paying bills, watching movies - all are necessary functions but not vital.
So I'm going to allow myself one more self-indulgence (that's what Ubersite is good for), in memory of the people I loved.
And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love
And the rain is falling and i believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain
I might leave
Leave behind

Hey PAS. Glad to see you're doing ok.
I've been spending some time on Pulsehead.com lately. Maybe you should check it out.

CoMountain - of course there was that rule and I decided to get this post off the front page. But way back in the day you could fill up the front page with as many posts as you wanted.

That's just sad.

Yeah, cancer is hysterical until you die in pain from it. Now I remember why I stayed away from this place.
Maybe the adults will wake up soon.

jeez, you have been gone a long time. Around here, being a cancer survivor is the new black.

There are a few people around here who could use a good taking to the woodshed so I'd say fire away, but yea it's gotten brutal around here lately.
===
Quite the contrary. People are a lot nicer than they used to be. This website is a love fest.
Fortunately, a few users like me are trying to restore the balance.

Hallo lady, don't come back, it's fuckin BRUTAL around here.

Thanks for your advice Method but I'm feeling pretty pissed, what with people dying and my broken foot, I've got plenty of spare righteous vengeance & furious anger to dish out to deserving uberfools.

BORING

If only I'd run over a cat this year, then I would have had something worthy to speak of, instead of minor life events like getting married or buying my first house or my father-figure dying of lung cancer. Thanks for pointing out how boring my life is retrospect. Go cat killing. Woo.

I know exactly how you feel PAS, I have never been addicted to Uber per se, but I limit my posting on this site to once a year, mainly because I want to limit my exposure to the 75,000-some-odd purile, childish, witless users on this site. There are a scant few that are still around that I respect and so I have decided to do more constructive things with my time.
My life has also been changing like crazy, and so I can further identify with you. I applaud you on all you've gone through in one year. My hat's off to you PAS.
And fuck all these Wasteoids. Kind of makes you miss KristySwan doesn't it?

Ubersite was near an addictionish for me for a while, but now i just cram alot of usage into a short period of time, usually around now when the site is near dead so it's easier to keep track of stuff. That and I don't get into arguments or +2kakkes on peoples posts (rad and stevie excluded of course, we run the late night till the brits finally get up).

Mate, we're ahead of you, not behind. When we 'finally get up' it's the next day to us! You're still on yesterday. Which brings me to Brdn_nkd's theory that we're serious fucking with the time/space continuum and will destroy the world.

Now wait a minute, your last post was on 5-20-05. This post was on the 18th of May this year. Therefore, you still have 2 more days to accomplish things and have them still legally fall within that "1 year."
Well, what are you sitting around for? Get going!

Whatever. I read the rest of the post anyway. I like when people write each sentence as a new paragraph because it doesn't feel like I'm reading as much as I'm skimming and thus not wasting as much time. I get hooked in easier. I think that's why I liked reading Sideburns' posts so much. I dont have much patience for posts with big paragraphs full of words (like the things I post). I avoided this post all night because that's what I thought it was going to be.
Good for your for losing weight and going to the gym.

-------
I think it's both. I think it's the former in that the frequency at which I post correlates inversely with my general level of happiness with my life and so it serves as a tremendous outlet for our ugly feelings, but because I dont post much I have to believe it's more the former considering it's 5:03 AM right now and I have been trying to convince myself to go to bed for three hours at least.
I didnt read into the post beyond this sentence but I'm sure you answered your question somewhere later on so enjoy a +2 and I'm going to sleep right after I go downstairs and drink orange juice straight from the carton.
