As Seen On The Bathroom Wall

The following is a myspace bulletin post I have received a few times already by several people, and while I know they mean no harm by it, it still gets on my last nerve. Look, it's not that difficult for people to read words that are misspelled. We get the gist of things quite easily because we're human - incomplete in all things - it's why we're not perfect.

That being said, you're not a fucking genius if you're just like everyone else and can read this. Moreover, you're also not proving your intelligence by pissing people like myself off who have to struggle every day with dyslexia with this intolerable and juvenile bullshit just to feel superior in some asinine and banal way.

You can read it. Whoopdeefuckingdoo. 5 people can read this, 20 people can read this, 500 million people can read this. Congratufuckinglations, you're just like everyone else. Welcome to mediocrity. Now get the fuck out of my inbox.

So I did something I never thought I'd do.

I created a forum.

*gasp*

My reasons for it are many, but mainly, I wanted to do it. I could go into specifics, but that would do nothing but add fuel to the already overly long burning fire, and I simply have no interest in doing that.

As for the forum, I have no idea what I'm doing, and I don't think I'll ever become as adept at it as I am screwing up, but it's a place that I think will provide comfort to the people that do come. Oddly enough, I only told two people about it while it was under construction, and one of those people has been too busy to do anything to help so far, so I know that everyone who is already there are so as a result of the other person I told. I'm not upset by it, although I know that some will believe I deliberately withheld this information on purpose to deny them access, which was never my intent. I had made it quite clear that I wanted to wait until the site was where I wanted it to be, and now that it will pass, I have let people on my myspace know.

So, I am now letting you know.

Like I say over and over there, it's not perfect, it's messy, but it's comfy.
