Has the bonfire become a desperate popularity contest?

So...have we decided who's winning the contest yet?



So is the contest who acts the most desperate in trying to be popular? Or who is the most popular just by being themself?

Of course it has. But what in life isn't?

When we're kids, unless an only child, we fight to be the parent's favorite.

In school, we fight to be the teacher's pet and the person that everyone wants to go out/hang out with.

In "grown up world," our need to be popular is increased. Be the bosses favorite, our special someone's only one, and excel at our favorite extra curricular activity.

The older we get, the more desperate we become to be and stay popular. Face lifts, tummy tucks, liposuction, bribery, flattery. Whatever it takes to stay on top.

Look at all of those folks who go onto those talk shows and air their dirty laundry in public? It's their pathetic "claim to fame."

No matter what people say about "loving yourself first," many people find it hard to follow that golden rule, if they don't have anyone else who loves them.

Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz)

I think the older you get, the less you worry about being popular and all of those things and you are more concerned about true friendships and being surrounded by people who truly care about your best interests.

Notice I said "many people."

You are obviously one of the fortunate people who can be totally yourself and not have any regrets.

Unfortunately, not everyone is that lucky. Otherwise plastic surgeons, talk show hosts and psychiatrists would be out of a job. :S

Why else would we all be fighting to be in "Sunshine's" porn story? B|

Inside jokes?:S That's just crazy. They are people that have met in real live that are sharing and reliving a good time.

I love all the people that I've met that post here. It seems that there isn't a DZ that I go to now that I don't met someone new and have shared a different experience with them.

Inside joke. Flyangel walks away shaking her head

:o Wow! You're saying people on here DON'T share inside jokes?! :o You've got to be kidding me! Of course they do, I do too I'm sure, who cares though?
Yeah, lots of people on here have met each other and share stories, that's great. No need to get worked up! :)
Edit: did ya happen to read the results of the poll?
Aren't inside jokes usually between only a certain group of people that have "shared" the experience? and "relive" it through joking about it? If those aren't inside jokes I don't know what they are.

Yes, it's an inside joke, and I'm not telling you;)

Windcatcher, most times if you do a search, you will find out the joke. It's a public forum, nothing is a secret.

Yes Sunny, I know you are still reading this:P
