OH GOD. HOW DO I GET BACK?!

I was like "Oh god let me back to oldschool EP!"
Thanks god for the back button.

[Pickles]

Oh god I'm awake at 8 am, what fresh hell is this?

Seriously though what happens?

You go back to bed. :p

I put the dishes in the same places, every time. Also, the noise is useful for drowning out sluts and morons.

I have more dishes than space sadly.

So do I, my dishwasher is essentially only half-size. But I only have problems if I wait too long to put them in, and others get dirtied in the meantime.

I have a bad tendency to wait until the dishwasher is full. And by full, I mean I have no more dishes to use and I can't fit them all in the dishwasher. So I wash what I can in the dishwasher and do the rest by hand while the dishwasher is going.

But I hate that noise. One of the reasons I wait so long to do the dishes is because I can't stand having the dishwasher going when I'm in the apartment. I usually wait until I know I'm going to be gone for a few hours, and run it while I'm out of the house.

Sadly, I usually forget to do this when I leave for work. And I don't usually go anywhere on my days off.

Do you people read anything?

It's no wonder I can't get anyone to read a sticky, or actually read the instructions on the main page.

*Insert Hipster Moment*
I Was reading before books was invented

That's odd, I never even notice my Dishwasher when it's running.
It makes noise obviously, but I'm usually doing something else ten times less productive and not paying attention.

Cue melodramatic response:

I hope you didn't respond that way because you related to the phrase, "train wreck."

Didn't bother me at all.
/EP Blue, bitches.

I have a tendency to focus on the most repetitive, annoying sound and can't block it out.
I also hate the frogs behind my building for this reason.

Nah, just my general feelings towards EP.

This. And I'm so used to it running whenever people in other apartments are annoying me (read: all the damn time), that sometimes when it's not running it feels too quiet in here.

[Rasgrez]

There's a "Default Style" link at the very bottom.

I totally missed that.

I have a tendency to do the same thing, but dishwasher noise doesn't bother me. It's just water moving around, I can deal with that. Maybe you just have an annoying dishwasher.

Okay then. I just couldn't think of any other reason why you would pick that particular post to quote for a response like that.

I usually just sit on my laptop.
When I remember, I listen to music.

I like it quiet.

... toooo quiet.

Cue melodramatic response:

Spoiler warning:

This place is my home. I am more comfortable on EP than I am anywhere else, and I like and respect more people here than I have ever in my real life. I enjoy coming here more than I enjoy doing pretty much anything else -- there have been times when I've been hanging out with other people, and all I have been thinking is, "I can't wait until I get home and can go on EP again." It's a rather sad little addiction, but with where I am in my life at the moment, it's a place that I desperately need.

Naturally, I kind of... blend my real life and my life on EP together. I don't mind posting pictures of myself, or telling you guys about what has been going on in my life. In fact, I have been more open and honest, and more forthcoming about personal problems or experiences on this site than I have with pretty much anyone else in my real life. You know, that thing I do when I'm not on the computer... it's one of the reasons, I think, that I find it hard to leave this place to go and do anything else. This is one of the few places where I know that I'm respected and generally well liked. I don't get that a lot in the real world, and it's something that I desperately crave a lot of the time. Some of this stems from what I personally find entertaining or enjoyable -- there aren't a lot of NES enthusiasts out in the world anymore, and even less in a small city like the one that I live in. But when I sign on here, I can talk about the most eclectic of topics and feel like I'm actually partaking in some form of a meaningful conversation beyond "what happened at work today" or "dude, check out the girl in Aisle 17. I could bounce a quarter off that ass."

I don't find a lot of stimulating conversation anywhere else, and I don't connect with people elsewhere the way that I do when I'm on EP. Therefore, I don't mind breaking out of my shell a little bit and letting my personal life flow into here. I don't mind posting pictures of myself (even though I'm not much to look at), or telling you guys stories about what my son did, or telling you guys the stupid shit that I have pulled (no one in my real life knows the microwaved jeans story). But I can do that on EP and feel comfortable doing it. Some of it is the anonymity, but some of it is just the reception and connection that I have with some of the more frequent members here.

I wouldn't say I'm especially "close" with a lot of you -- just one or two members -- but most of you I consider my friends. And most of you are better friends than the ones that I currently have. Because, with the occasional day missed for personal reasons (work, school, spending time with significant others), you are all here just as consistently as I am. And it's something that I've come to rely on. Pretty much every time I sign onto EP, doesn't matter what time of the morning/afternoon/evening/night that it is, there will be at least one person here who I genuinely respect and like.

Also, beer.

Even me?

I figured.
