2. Mine too, but I don't bother with DU ignore. Ignoring people is my natural state.

I do post to my DU journal any writing I'm pleased with at the moment, sometimes that moment being one beer too many.

My grandma loved, lived, and breathed Hollywood and tried to get all her grandchildren into the business, in front of the camera or behind. My parents met working in Hollywood, behind the cameras. Two of my siblings made it to adult screen credits and SAG cards before they tired of of the starving artist lifestyle. I was set on being a television engineer until I got frustrated after two years of college that the classes were mostly guys who talked way too much about cars and "babes" so I changed my major to biology.

My mom recalls that as a child I used to stare intensely at important people as if they were interesting insects up until they turned toward me, and then I'd look away from them and refuse to talk.

I flunked out of Hollywood kindergarten.

3. I think of the internet as a huge room full of people talking in groups

I am shy and know noone so I go and listen to people's conversations .Sometimes I will join in with something inapropriate like a biting social commentary on current dance trends or particle physics,maybe a clever fart joke because you can't hear or smell farts on line which leads back to a real question .
How come it is harder to take someone off ignore than put someone on ignore ? I have been doing research of sorts about the ignore function like putting myself on ignore on those days I feel nobody listens to me ( generally 6 days a week ) I figure if you can't ignore yourself who can you ignore ? Plenty of people have told me to fuck myself but I find it frustrating because I have also been told I am a lousy lover .....I'd go on but I find myself quite boring and it might be a good time to fuck myself once again .
