and people wonder why..
Sep. 19th, 2005 01:04 amAnd people wonder why there are no open invite parties in LAFF anymore.
I am a founding member of LAFF. When the 'group' was formed (having switched from the 'Chicago' list it was before) I was the token female. Me, that's it. A large gathering was, 15 people. I remember having Devious' (not Devious Bruin, he came later) bday party and having 15 people show up and thinking how freaking huge that was. I would throw parties at my old place, post it to the list and a lot of people would show up. I've had up to 45 people at my old place. I didn't have problems, other then running out of space. We used to do weekly movie nights at Gurnee cinema (mostly weekly, there were just some weeks there wasn't a movie worth seeing). We'd have a good 2 dozen show up at times. That was about 6 years ago. We didn't have to tell people to stop doing stupid shit. So, what's happened?
I've lost track of how many people there are in LAFF now. They all seem to think they've reinvented it. I'm sick of the bull shit. I'm sick of the fucking kids. No this does not apply to all. But it applies to some.
No, I don't think there needs to be security at bowling. No I don't think there needs to be a code of conduct. I think bowling should be canceled for a few months, even up to six months. Why should the good be punished for the bad? I don't know, why did your teacher cancel recess cause only a few were being bad. Because whatever they are doing stops being funny when you get punished for what they are doing.
WE ARE FUCKING ADULTS. Or at least some of us.
There is a difference between fun and stupidity.
I was an annoying late teen, early twentier in the LAFF group. But you know what, I can't see how me (or any of the others who were the same age as me) where this fucking annoying. Whining about everything damn thing. Going on and on and on about the littlest fucking shit. It's bowling. It's something you do once a month because. It's message board. It's been tried. There is supposed to be some rambling traffic on the LAFF list. it's there for that. IT'S NOT THERE FOR FUCKING DEBATE OVER WHO'S RIGHT AND WRONG AND WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TO 'MAKE IT BETTER'. Besides the concept of people getting pissed off for PDA when a good chunk of the group dresses in silly animal costumes to bowl is asinine. And no, I'm not saying that humping people on the floor is ok. PDA and being an idiot are two different things.
All I know, is there is a reason I don't go to bowling and there is a HUGE FUCKING REASON I don't have open invite parties anymore.
This post may not have made sense. Sure it may have been pointed at some. And I'm sure it's going to piss someone off. I don't care. It was my rambling response to the constant bull shit chatter that has gotten to be the LAFF list. STFU.
