    I just don't care, really. Call me a **** if you like, but people, places and whatever on the net is of no concern to me.

    Never realy have been passionate for anything that doesn't have a beat, to be honest.

    Not very often. But I've taken somethings on the internet seriously before. It happens.

    I don't care. Seriously.

    ..I do get mad on XBox live, though. But on forums?..Nah.

    You can't anything here seriously.

    Anger over XBL? I love your type. All your buttons are laid out for me to press.

    I don't really take things too seriously. That's what I like about the net. You can tell the truth, and nobody knows if it's really the truth, so you can pour your heart out without being made fun of. For example, I have Asperger's Syndrome, am one of the shortest guys in my class (About 5' 1" in 10th grade), use a keyboard instead of writing notes, and got three Fs on my report card last quarter. Granted, I've done much better this quarter, but still. And you don't know if any of that is the truth.

    Pfft, seriously?
    the internet is a bunch of idiots (exept for here), so I can't really take them seriously.

    I always take things serious. It can be in life or on the internet.
    It's really sad...

    I try not to take things too seriously, but most of the time do anyway... I have a very serious approach to life in general lol. I also tend to see the bad side of things before the good. Like, if I'm going to go look at a house I'm interested in buying, I'm going to notice all the flaws and imperfections before all the wonderful things about the house.

    And no, in case you're wondering, I don't spend the majority of my time wringing my hands in despair or being gloomy XD I'm actually quite cheerful most of the time, despite all this seeming negativity.

    I don't it seriously very often. I've noticed that when you aren't very dependent and addicted to the internet, it tends to just not make a difference in the long run.

    I remember a year or two back, this was basically my life. I got up, went to school, came home, went online all day. I had basically 0 life. lol As a result a lot of the things that went on meant a lot to me, like someone disliking me, or if the site got attacked by trolls, I would always try to be the first to get on it. Now unfortunately, I've become kinda lazy about this because I actually -do- have a life. I still care, just not as much.

    I have these nice mental issues where I must please everyone...which sucks if anyone yells at you, I know. Also, b/c its across the internet you don't actually know how the person said it thus allowing misinterpretation. From personal experiences I used to belong to a forum with a rather mean admin who once yelled at me (this was a few years ago, thus I had bad self-esteem). After that I pretty much quite forums and photoshop for over a year. As a result I'm really careful what I actually write on forums now in order not to tick anyone off and I've lost a lot of interest in them.
    It doesn't help that I'm really lazy

    I don't really get mad, even though I can put up a good act, but my brother... well, lets just say I've seen him throw a chair across the room when someone spawn-camped him on Socom (ps2). I have also heard him screaming and shouting at that game. So yeah, I don't, he does.

    I can take a joke on the computer now, but before I found out about the site, I was a pretty straight forward guy. Inever thought anything was a joke. Sometimes I misread something and take the Internet a bit too seriously. I had this problem in real life too, so it kinda carried over.
