At first I was like "How did this get to that many pages?" But then I read the "I'm Victoria and I'm from Hawaii part". Way to be so fucking predictable guys.

This is to a special note to NYMPHOID.

you ask too many questions.
you remind me of the nosy bitch from gta4 that wound up being a secret agent.

no, you're not cool enough to be a stalker.

probably not, since nobody else gives a fuck about anyone here
First of all, I didn't post this topic with an intention of everyone reading it or forcing anyone to so I'm sorry that I asked so many questions but the irony of the matter is, you answered them all.
I'm a regular person with the choice to be nice or mean and you're making it awfully hard for me to keep grinning through this.
I have a couple of things I'd like to say to you:
1. You are very rude.
2. You are very conceited; there is a difference, you know? There is nothing wrong with loving the way you are and the way you look entirely but to shove it down people's throats and to except them to talk and not hear their words choked with disgust is just silly.
3. I'm not cool enough to be a stalker? I wouldn't stalk you in the first place... Or anyone else for that matter. That question was just a comedic relief but it seems now, it has added nothing but stress to me and annoyance to you. Besides, you're the one that added me on MySpace... Irony again?
4. Even though I said those things up there, I still have respect for you.
I read your news posts about the thread your boyfriend had posted before you made an account here.
You should know by now that people on the internet can be brutal and cast your feelings aside as if you were a piece of crap.
They do this because they can hide behind it.
Now, I am not writing this because I want to be mean to you, not because I want to hurt you but because I want to help you.
I feel bad for what they wrote about you in that thread but after reviewing reply after reply, my sympathy just turned to pity.
If you would have just been nice and witty, they'd probably back off but instead you just chose to attack back...
See, you were rude to me but I can decide whether or not to do the same.
I don't want to.
Here's my opinion, you're hurt so you retaliate without thinking and then attack others whom have done no harm to you.
You're not ugly but you are far from inner beauty.
I am not jealous of you, nor do I hate you, dislike you or harbor any ill feelings others might have directed towards you.
I don't know what else to say but, I'll keep being nice to you because I want to, not to spite you but like I said, I want to.
If you want to talk to me regardless of your attitude or warped opinions you might have against me then I will be willing.
If you needed someone to blow off steam, you could have just asked.
Nobody might not give a fuck about anyone here but my name is Victoria and it's damn good to meet you.

Dear everyone,
This is the last time I'm going to be posting in this thread. (Seriously this time... I think. :/)
It's hard to check this thread constantly and replying in time.
If you'd like you talk tome more, PM me or comment my news posts.
Other than that, it was nice meeting you!
Sorry about the late replies, I've been pretty busy.
Anyways, thanks for posting your replies in here; it was really fun reading them.
I hope all of you have a great day or night because I did.
:D

Talk to you later,
Vixie.

All right, I'll be nice and answer here. I kinda wanna stop being a jerk to everyone. Anyway, my name's Eric and I've been here about a year. My favorite things are the PSP, Newgrounds, sitting next to the heater and reading. I love pretty much anything that's science fiction, especially Star Wars and Dune. I watch plenty of movies and I'm learning court reporting. Hopefully it'll work out.
Hello Eric,it seems like we have some things in common!
I love reading, the PSP and science fiction as well.
What are you favorite movies?
Good luck with the court reporting; is that what you aspire to do?

'm not filling out your questionnaire thingy but I will say that I was born and raised in Kona and lived their for nine years before moving to California.

I god I miss it so, I remember Hawaii being so nice but I hear from old friends that it's starting to turn to shit. Oh well at lest I still have the memories of what it used to be like.
Oh wow, really?
I haven't visited the Big Island yet, just Maui and Kauai...
Heard it's pretty peaceful though, boring but peaceful.
How is California like?
I've only visited a couple times, haha.
Well, it's still beautiful to me and always will, after all it is my birthing place.
But just like anywhere, it can turn to "shit" if its residents and visitors don't take care of it...
I think I just see more buildings... The kids are turning more rotten each year though.

To make this short, be cautious about what you do here. Otherwise you'll be done for. Keep your distance, then slowly approach. You can't do it all at once.

Not really. Post what you want. If its crap it gets deleted and people abuse you.

Anyway, whats it like living in Hawai? I always think of it as a tourists only island. =p

Anyways, it's great for me; I love Hawaii!
There are many tourists but they're only in some parts.
Oddly enough, I live in one of the most tourist-filled part.

Shoulderblade: Nymphoid wasn't 'attacking' you or whatever you seemed to take it as, she was just joking around. No need to turn it into a wall o' text.

How did you find this site?

My brother found it when I was a kid and I started watching the videos and playing the games. I always loved shit like Xiao Xiao back then, so I just kinda stuck with it.

How long have you been a member?

Sometime in 2002 is when I first joined, but I was browsing for longer than that, I think.

Where are you from?

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

How old are you?

Seventeen.

What's your favorite thing on NG?

The community in the Flash and Art sections of the BBS. No offense to you guys, but you're a bunch of immature twats. The people in Flash and Art actually take things seriously and the discussions there are more than everyone racing to be the first person to make a cock joke.

Did I put too many questions?

If you want to actually get to know people, then there really probably wasn't enough. But whatever; it was short enough that I didn't get bored haflway through.

Do I sound like a stalker?

...Not really?

Has this topic been done before?

At least once, probably a lot more than that. But at least it was something to do, amirite?

I wasn't saying I was special because you added me, I was merely replying to what you had said.
I was just helping you and if you would have read it, you would have realize I was in no way trying to attack you.
