25-IV-2008(ii) or A Look Inside My Head
by Aaron Shurtleff on April 26, 2008

I've been obsessing about something I said, and I want to blog about it. Here is what I am now thinking, along with added special what's going on inside my head commentary! All italics are internal monologues/voices in my head, and regular text is the other side of my thinking process.

This is seriously only partially joking. I'm really worried about the situation below...

Oh, man. I put a comment about the GooCon being a sausage fest because there was only one girl and I thought it would be funny, but no one has commented yet. Maybe it was too far over the line, and someone was offended by my referring to the Y-chromosome-heavy line-up so far as a "sausage fest".
Moron. You think you're funny, but you're offensive. Now you've pissed off all the chicks* on the site, and none of them are going to come. And, to top it off, you've made it painfully obvious that the attendees are mostly men, so other guys aren't going to want to come now either, because guys spending time in sunny Florida with a bunch of guys they met through the internet sounds like the premise for gay porn. Dumbass!
Well, now hold on! I'm sure the real reason most people are intending or considering coming to GooCon is to meet the friends they've made here at goo.tc (and, previously, celebritygoogame.com). It's not like a singles club or anything! We're a bunch of people who play games, discuss deep topics, and enjoy each others company together. I'm sure it's just too early to be concerned, not because of some flippant comment I made.
Do you hear yourself?
Shut up, I'm not finished! There's still 182 days until GooCon**. That's half a year pretty much. People need time to figure out their financial situations, and plan their time off from work and what not. I doubt anyone is seriously considering not coming because I made a "sausage fest" comment!
Oh! I see now! You egomaniac! You're hoping people sign up right away, so that, deep in your heart, you can think to yourself that they're coming because you confirmed you're going to be there!
That's totally...
Now it's your turn to shut up! That's why you're so concerned about the lack of response. You're worried that since you said you were definitely going to be there, other people will end up not coming because you're too crazy for people to deal with! Ha! Loser!
Are you finished? Can I respond now?
Sure.
Thank you. I have heard your response, and I have just this to say: Blow it out your...
Classy!


* My internal voice is very politically incorrect, even though I would personally never refer to women as "chicks". I was raised better than that!
** Thank you, Scott, for the countdown, which makes my thinking process easier, because I don't have to count the days!

I'm considering renaming it GooCon: Sausage Fest.

I for one wasn't offended, I figured you were just being funny. Don't know if I can go though! I obsess over everything I say too so I understand :P

Gay porn? I love gay porn. Sad porn is soooo depressing. Kind of defeats the purpose, you know? What's that Brenda? Gay porn really means...

23-VIII-2008 or Seen On T-shirt

This is not a great day for writing for me, as the loyal readers may or may not remember. I leave you with this phrase I saw on a t-shirt today: Life is like a jalapeno pepper. What you do today can burn your ass tomorrow. Go »

26-VIII-2019 or Shame!

Nope, not a Game of Throne reference. I heard the song by Stabbing Westward today, so it will be the song of the day. Shows what you know. Go »

29-VIII-2006 or Most-wanted polygamist?!

I just saw on CNN that we caught the polygamist who was on the FBI's most wanted list. Hmm... I should read the article to see what he did exactly. Go »

10-IV-2008 or Beavis and Butthead

I'm at work. I took my pill this morning, because I think I forgot to take it last night. From the way I'm feeling now, I think I double-medicated myself. Go »

11-V-2008 or Oh, You Won't Like This...

Random filler is entered here, such that you won't see what is to come on the front page. Not that it would be so bad if you did, but I want people who read this to read this purposely, not accidentally because it was on the front page. If you read a posting called "Oh, You Won't Like This...", Go »

27-X-2009 or Linking For Great Justice!

This should be the link to Iceland pictures. If this doesn't work, I'll have to send the link through e-mail, which would involve getting e-mail addresses for anyone who wanted to see pictures. I think the pictures are not worth the anxiety of knowing I have your e-mail address, but we shall see... Go »
