TPM Confessions

[Angel Blossom]

Holy crap Zak. How long has that quote been in your signature? XD

I must admit, that quote is not that funny given Mikachu Yukitatsu's deplorable mental state...

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

He sigged it in January 2006 from my post under THIS THREAD. Check also Truth About Mikachu Yukitatsu for more info on my mental state, if you haven't.

[Angel Blossom]

I see... That was probably just before I stopped lurking.

Sorry, off-topic. ^^; More on my confessions, I guess...

I've had so many TPM crushes, I couldn't begin to name them all! In fact, I would secretly plot against other girls here who were with guys I liked back then. That's how silly I was. XD At one point, I had major crushes on Zak, Mike (TMM), and obviously Clark too. =) There were quite a few more, but I can't really think of them at the moment.

[Heald]

I've never had a TPM crush. Truth be told, I've never really liked any of you. In fact I only really come here out of a sense of begrudging loyalty I have to this place and the fact I'm usually involved in some RPG where my absence would lead to its destruction.

The Misc Forum hasn't been interesting for about 3 years, at least not since the days of Raz, TRO, plus all the idiots who would actually make topics and debates funny. It's gotten so desperate that the powers that be decided to mod me, one of Misc's worst enemies, in order to attempt to inject some life back into this place.

I don't share some other people's apathy for this place, but I'm not going to hide behind rose-tinted glasses and say everything is fine.

I've never really lied or tried to hide anything about who I am, so I have no confessions. I don't get my jollies from lying to people I've never met on a Pokemon forum.

Also, I've mistaken many girls for guys and guys for girls. Not that I really care, although I think I was slightly embarrassed when I first realised Weasel was a girl when I had known her for a few years.

[Weasel Overlord]

LOL don't worry Heald, lots of people have made that mistake. I dunno whether I should be so amused by this, though...

I suppose I should do a confession? I'm much less inclined to post in my RPGs lately, and I'll tell you why. Fandom. My little corner of fandom is a much nicer place to hang out, with a lot less people creating drama and generally wanking and hating on people and things for really shitty reasons. I mean yes, there ARE large parts of fandom (the Supernatural fandom especially) where shit like this happens, but it's a lot easier to not visit those comms than it is to not visit RPG, which is basically my second home, not to mention the place I mod. This is the reason why I've been posting more in places like Misc and Video Games than in actual RPGs. I feel really guilty about this, too. SORRY RPG. I STILL LOVE YOU!!

Anyway. I rambled. Sorry it's not very juicy. I'd need a lot of persuasion to give up anything juicier.

[Zak]

Holy crap Zak. How long has that quote been in your signature? XD

I must admit, that quote is not that funny given Mikachu Yukitatsu's deplorable mental state...

You do have a point, back then it wasn't really known, he was just some lurker that occasionally posted every now and then, most of the time in PA, sometimes PCG.

It was never with the intention of making fun of him anyway, it was more a Pokemon Anime thing... LOL but I guess that wouldn't really matter now. I sometimes forget I still have it. I guess it's lived out it's purpose. Bye-bye quote.

By the way, what about that PM I sent yesterday, gonna respond?

[Clark]

I was a lurker? Yeah, that's true, I was mostly active in Pokemon Anime. I did read Misc debates and other TPM topics quite a lot, but I guess that fits in the definition of lurking. TPM meant a lot to me also back there though. Also, January 2006, I had just had this one year and a half break because of being in a mental hospital, so perhaps people had forgotten me.

I myself was sometimes a bit angry at you for quoting me, but mostly I didn't care. Like you said, it was a Pokemon Anime thing. Why was I a bit angry sometimes? Because in one point, if you typed 'Mikachu Yukitatsu' on Google all you got were Zak's signatures!

XD sorry, yeah I used to always google "SpinaZak238", "zak6009" and other aliases.

Which leads me to another confession. You know how Serebii Joe was always constantly mocked when everyone found out he does forum searches for "Serebii" and "SPP" (by the way, if that's still the case, hey Joe ) on other popular Pokemon forums including this one?
Well, I will admit that I did the same thing here every now and then. Though I'm forced to search "Zak*" because it won't allow three-character searches. Because of that I come up with a lot of Japanese names in fics and RPGs that have those three letters consecutively in some character's name, but now because of this board system, in a game that was approved by me, EVERY post in that thread would come up, because the "Re: (insert game name here) approved by Zak" would appear at the top of every response and be counted as part of the post. Oh well.

[firepokemon]

LOl Zak I still do that. I love searching my name and it gets mentioned I get all fuzzy inside.

[shazza]

I have also done that before on numerous occasions. Recognition by others boosts my volatile self-esteem.

[Kirby]

I hate Instant messengers now days. I hate talking to people one-on-one always have. I admit to rarely understanding sarcasm. I still fucking hate Little_Pikachu.

I agree with everything stated in this post.

[Dark Scizor]

In fact I only really come here out of a sense of begrudging loyalty I have to this place...

This is one of the reasons I still come here.

I probably come here once every couple of weeks for a few minutes, if that. But if TPM were to disappear from the internet, I'd be a sad bear indeed.

This place would have still been buzzing as the main Pokémon resource if the mainsite didn't die, and had been replaced by Serebii in the vacuum it left.

C'est la vie.

[Katie]

I must admit, that quote is not that funny given Mikachu Yukitatsu's deplorable mental state...

I think that makes it funnier - anyone else and you'd laugh it off as a joke. With that dude you know it's actually true which is hilariously sad.

Confessions:

-at the ezboard a handful of us got the mod forum password and lurked. I was all excited about getting in until I read the boring ass things in there.

-I wanted to be a fanart mod *beyond* desperately. I had long detailed posts in every single topic for like a year. A couple of the mods there weren't posting at all. No one noticed. I gave up. Someone else was modded after one was demodded shortly after. I died.

-I had a huge crush on jay umbreon back when online relationships were the thing

-I skip reading a lot of posts if they have an obnoxiously huge sig

[Magmar]

Here's a confession!

In 8th grade I was better friends with TPM members than my real-life friends. Raichu, Too Cool Scyther, ninjascyther and Saria to name a few. We all stopped posting here for a little while cuz we were too busy playing neopets and roleplaying Gundam relationships. We were also called shadow rockets, and we were hot shit.

[Shadow Wolf]

Sarcasm, spam, confessions...at least they help me kill some time. I will help you do it too.

-I remember sending a PM to Laura (I believe that's her true name: Hinata-Toxicity) about a lot of rambling about shyness and other stupid stuff (guess that's an online crush). I felt kinda embarrassed when I found out about kakashi, but the most embarrassing thing was that everyday I came to TPM after I sent that message, I was waiting for the: "New Private Message" on my inbox.

-My username is a reflection of my real life. Being the shadow of my brother (since no matter how hard I tried to make my family proud, he was the favorite) and a wolf (pictured as a lone animal altough he hunts in packs. I pretty much feel alone and cry on the night altough I am usually with "friends" on the day: the pack)

-I usually write stuff at TPM for people to give me advice or to let them know that I feel sad, but I have come to realize that, either they don't know or they don't care, so I just keep writing to remember it.

[Telume]

At one point I hated shazza, D:<

But I've learned to deal with it, I don't anymore. Sorry shazza

[shazza]

What did I do to you, Telume!

[Magmar]

The only way for them to be your friends is to invest the time into online relationships, dropping IMs to friendly members, etc. And don't worry when people sarcastically drone on about what may be important to you. As long as you're being true to yourself, you will always be on your own side

Wise words from an experienced pokemaster. Thanks for that!

I find it kinda hard to make online friends, but it's probably because I haven't tried it at all, plus life getting in the way.

Speaking of which:

- I hate when life gets in the way of TPM and my other online activities.

- I miss mr_pikachu since he's one of my online friends here.

That's all for now.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I copied Charles Legend by putting a signature arena on my ASB VS Seeker.

[shazza]

Contradictory to what others think, I am still adamant that Kasumi was always a girl. The confession by the successor of Kasumi (who's name escapes me) was, in fact, the joke. Whether or not this person used to be Kasumi, I am undecided.

[Zak]

I remember the person used the long-inactive "Kasumi" account to post the confession, how could they not be?

[shazza]

I don't really remember, but it rings a bell so you could be right.

Saying that, it's entirely possible her account was hacked; a little bit of @hotmail.com and "Forgot your Password?" used to work wonders - and it wouldn't be the first.

Ah, the mysteries and conspiracies of TPM.

[Crystal Mew]

Ok here's a confession. When I first started coming to tpm, Zak started talking to me, and started asking person questions like where I lived and stuff, and since I was new to the internet (I was 14) I was like "well in case this guy is a creeper I dont want him to really know what state I live in..." So I told him Texas. LOL. then I started thinking well the time zones are messed up, so I lied to him and said I was moving to NM.

Well technically I was moving, but not from texas.

[Magmar]

Wise words from an experienced pokemaster.

Thanks!

Here's a confession... and I'm sure Zak can relate to this one. I'M SICK OF HEARING ABOUT THE DEAD KENNEDY... and car crashes in Bristol/Barrington RI.

Haha yeah you were so paranoid back then. Should have picked Colorado, it's a pretty popular state in the same time zone.

[Telume]

I lied once and said I was muslim.

What did I do to you, Telume!

I just didn't like the first impression.

Oh and I also love DragoKnight's Glaceon sig, I like the close-up. I think Glaceon's actually pretty cute. Better than Leafeon, GAR.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I joined TPM after the terrorist attacks in September 2001. The original reason was that my E-mail exchange with a Brittish girl ended. I guess I sent her too strange opinions on the 11th of Sept. I needed something else to kill my time, and I had never been to a message board before, didn't really even know what one is, so I joined TPM.

[Crystal Mew]

Haha yeah you were so paranoid back then. Should have picked Colorado, it's a pretty popular state in the same time zone.

yeah maybe, or maybe you shouldnt have asked such questions within minutes of meeting me?

[shazza]

Zak just had some teenage boners and he be huntin' down for some e-poon.

[Zak]

I can't remember the whole exchange, I think it was a little later anyway.

But still, what kind of conceited jerk would think it's "creepy" to ask what state someone's from, even within second of meeting them?
-Unless you're from Rhode Island or Delware, states are too big for that to be considered a weird question, and;
-It's a generic question, my dear. When you first meet people at college or uni, is one of the first things that come up "where are you from"? It's no less creepy than online, sorry if you fail to see that. In fact, if anything it's MORE creepy because it's easier for them to find out stuff like that. I mean, seriously, if someone really was a creeper, what exactly could they do knowing your state alone? I'm pretty sure they'd need your city and/or last name in order to actually have something to creep on. Jeez, to think there was an era when people generally started first-time online conversations with "ASL" and it was considered normal...

EDIT: Dammit shazza XD

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Yet more about my mental state, I think nobody knew it until I posted Truth About Milkachu Yukitatsu last year.

Hoo-boy. Quickly browsed, it seems I and Zak are the most active posters in this thread. Now that sure proves nothing.

[Angel Blossom]

No offense Zak, but I'd be creeped out too if some random guy started asking me personal questions right off the bat. :/ Asking which state you're from is not a personal question, but such questions can lead to something more specific and more personal. That's what Sam was afraid of I believe.

Girls are just wary about that sort of stuff, so I dunno. Maybe guys don't understand that. :/

I really don't think it was like that, but I'm surprised I don't have my stuff archived, heh.

You would be, though, aren't you the one that never posted a picture? Either way you're probably right lol

Agreed. I was cautious at that age also and I don't think it was wrong of Sam to lie

[Craig The Great]

I would religiously read the shit out of Lapras Valley High and thought it was literary genius

it had nothing to do with the fact that a supporting character was named after me, HONEST

and then i got to date Kayla, s^ shawties

[PNT510]

Zak you may have thought it was normal to start conversations with ASL but really the only people who did that were creepers or people looking for e-poon as shazza put it.

[Heald]

Meh, every chatroom I ever went into during the 90s and early 2000s people would ask you ASL as normal. Now not so much, although I don't really use chat rooms any more.
