Apologies

[BIGZIPZ]

Hello everyone. Those who have been here a while, probably know that I am quick to run my mouth, and often speak/act on inpulse. This has from time to time got me in hot water, especially with several of the "regulars"

I am also guilty of expressing oppinions which may be politically motivated in a place that really doesn't need politics.

(I am also guilty of spelling oppinion with two P's - you wouldn't think I got an B on my A-level exam in English Lang would you)

When I see something which i feel in my heart is wrong, or I feel is a pop at me, I cannot resist the urge to respond to it, often having to mentally hold myself back from just letting rip and going crazy with my keyboard.

The odd thing is I actually love puzzles, I love puzzle games and I love designing things. When I actually get my mind in order I can make some good puzzles, on this very forum. Indeed I have before.

This place has always seemed too perfect for me. Too smiley happy, big cheesey grins and compliments. When I was going through school, and the teacher would commend me for something, I would get picked on for being a "goody goody" - over the years I started to hide compliments, in the hope that if I seemed unreceiving to them, the bullying would subside.

This continued through college, I used to get uncomfortable with compliments, yet deep down I liked them. The bullying had long stopped, but I found it hard to make new friends.

Aside from all this, everything seemed too sunny and squeaky clean, my mum would smile at me everyday and pretend everything was fine, great, no problems. About 7 months ago I was enquiring how my nanna was (she lives in normanton and we dont see her much) it came out that she was actually in hospital, after suffering a stroke, my mum hadn't told me because she didn't want me to worry. She has simply smiled everyday like she always had, the only thing was she was not happy, she was killing inside and having to sneak off to the hospital every night, and lie to me about where she was going.

I cannot be all



I am sorry to those I have rubbed the wrong way in the past, ol'gramma, Davidmad, majic1 and anyone else.



Now get that game out Patrick!

We all have things in our lives BZ that shape the way we are.

I make fun and smile a lot, people think I'm great company, always making them laugh.
That's a facade, I'm a worrier, have a temper and am quick with my tongue.

You have a knack of getting my 'back up' maybe it's the fact that I also feel the need to respond, if someone is getting unfair treatment.

You say this place is too happy and cheesey!

Can't you see it as an escape from everyday things?

I enjoy the fun, meeting new people and forgetting about worries for a while.

You're a long time dead, enjoy life while you can.

Go back to making levels and enjoying what this forum has to offer.

I can argue with someone one minute, then move on. It's not hard to do.

Enough of all this nonsense then?

This is the Wonderland family, I haven't known one yet, who didn't squabble!

Yes, I agree. C'mon Patrick, do as the fella say's!


Maureen.

P.S. Your spelling is terrible! I'm DAVIMAD not DAVIDMAD.

Is that violins I hear?

Very nicely said BigZ and M.A.D. The main thing to remember here is that we're all here to have fun, and also things said in jest can somethimes offend without meaning to. The drawback to these forums is that body language can't be read and we are a mostly visual species. We subconciously read body language to determine at least half of the communicating that we do and we don't have that here.
BigZ, I know that it's hard to accept and recieve compliments, because while in school, boys especially, tend to envy those who do recieve them and will make life h377 for those who recieve them. It also sounds like your mom has tried to protect you from the heartache of life, commendable, and is still trying to do so. You need to have a heart to heart with her and let her know that you appreciate her trying to help you, but that you need to know things. She will always try to protect you, but she may loosen up a little. I'm 46 and my mom is still trying to protect me, though she does tell me things now. I love her to bits for it. I'm sorry about your nana, I hope she recovers soon.
M.A.D., Your quick wit and sense of humor are very special, too. You and BigZ have a lot in common. That's probably why you argue with him so much. It's like a brother and sister. Have you ever seen any who don't fight like cats and dogs once in a while? I love you both and hope we can all get along and make and play some really superior levels. BTW, I love the Teeny Twitty levels. You haven't made a lot of levels, but the ones you have made have been extremely good. That's something else you and BigZ have in common, you are both very talented level makers.
Well, I'll get off my soapbox now and put away the violin popo was hearing. Hope noone takes offense.

Thanks Misteroo.

Well said bigzip and M.A.D, it is always important to remember that nouances are easy to miss when we wright instead of talk. I`ve learned that the hard way using SMS. It is easy to misunderstand someone, thats why I never try to make a joke, I`m SO scared that someone may take it the wrong way.
I hope who it may concerne, will accept your apology.

No, will you start making new levels bigzip or what??? I miss them.
