Here is why I made an AE

The reason I posted all those things as an AE, which I'm pretty sure many people knew was me to begin with, was that I didn't know how people would react to those polls to begin with. Sure, once people participated I could have done it under Gisa, but I was already doing it as an AE. Making MUD, especially silly MUD is fun. I'm sorry if people don't see it that way and think that this is a place to be serious, but to me it isn't. I will gladly fess up to my AEs. I am proud of them. Being an AE gives me a place to be funny and do it over and over again. I'm not very good at the drama AEs, unlike someone else I know. Plus, who would really believe that Mr. Gisa wants to reenact the American Pie scene and that Gisa would be considering it?
i wish i could be joking but my dad is the music teacher at a church so he owuld be mad. we had sex, all the time how bad i know but we dont want to wait and he said GREAT OH KAY! and I was really feeling the wets? down there- too embarsed to say- but he acted like man.

Re: Here is why I made an AE
I LIVE for MUD
Life is too serious and stressful, I for one, am grateful for the humor/drama.
It didn't offend me... it breaks up the monotony of the boards. I'm so sick of seeing the same food paranoia, hair dye paranoia, etc.. posts. I never knew until when you said it was you, that it was for sure you, but seeing as how I've noticed your sense of humor, I figured it was. I answered your polls...sex is what got us here in the first place.....if we can't laugh and joke about it, then some people take themselves too seriously.
And I BET he "didn't" want to reenact the American Pie scene..........kidding........
Frankly, I'm sick of the same ol' crap on here day after day. I wouldn't do an AE if I didn't think a lot of the ladies on here wouldn't enjoy or get a kick out of it. I think it makes some of the days that drag on go better. I lurk several of the "dramatic" boards, and I know I'm not alone. The only difference is, is that this stuff is made up, why get upset about it?
I say get the stick out of your butt and lighten up. If you don't like it, don't read it. Lord knows I don't read the 12 daily weight polls or the "Is it ok if I __________?" or "What _______ should I buy?"
Obviously some people do not.
Well, then they don't have to play along! I didn't respond to the sex polls 1) because I was too busy at work that day and 2) didn't know if it was a creeper at first. When I saw all of our bumpies responding, I wished I had joined in!
I thought it was one of 2 people including you
But the pie one... that was you?! I feel like I just found out Santa wasn't real. I knew it was MUD, but not you. LOL
I do feel bad that you felt the need to explain yourself. Are you feeling ok?
Not to like...continue along the path of "attack Gisa for her trolling ways" or anything...
but I think most AEs are fun, and I'm always really disappointed when someone 'outs' themselves as a troll. I WANT to believe the drama exists!
All you have to remember is....
Yup the pie was me. Lol
I am actually feeling terrible. I am exhausted, I have an exam tomorrow, I have to work tonight and my husband and I had a come to Jesus talk before he left for work and he said something that really hurt my feelings. We are in a terrible place financially and have been fro 2.5 years. I feel like every time things start to look up we get our knees kicked out. I feel like a huge failure because I'm having another baby I can't afford. I know this was a huge confession, but it is the truth.
I think the silly trolls are just unneeded. If you want to start a sex poll, start a sex poll! If you start one and it doesn't go over well, then don't do another! If it goes over well, then great, roll with it! There is no need to hide behind an AE for that. So many people are saying to get a stick out of your butt if you don't like the funny sex stuff, and I agree! I just take it one step farther and say be a grown up and do it as "yourself" instead of hiding behind an AE in case people don't like it.
And, (not that I think you do this Gisa) just to address other types of trolls, making up AE's to start MUD about being teen mom's or uneducated people having babies is at best stereotyping people and at worst, directly insulting someone without them knowing it. While you may take the ignorance to an extreme for humor, you may hit on points that are very real to a pregnant woman, like being kicked out of the house because she got pregnant as a teen or a woman who's husband has cheated on her since she's been pregnant. There are some situations in life that don't need to be made fun of. There are situations that are hard enough to live in everyday that they don't need to be the source of ridicule and humor on the internet. That's just being a bully.
This! I need to believe there are weirdos out there in the world who truly believe in clear periods or whatever else nonsense.
I agree with this for the most part. It's not anything against you Gisa at all, I just personally don't "get" having an AE.
Sex polls are fun, but MUD is something I'll never get because I always think, "Who has the time?"
Agreement aside, I agree with you Gisa in the UO regarding mamabear and the more she posts the more I raise my eyebrow. I made it clear the first week on this board that she wasn't my cup of tea (I'm sure you recall this mamabear). It takes all kinds, though.
You said yourself that you didn't know if the polls would go over well. THAT is the reason you created the AE to post the polls at first. YOU SAID THAT! So if it is just you being you, then do it under your screen name. If it doesn't go over well, then don't post about it anymore. If it hadn't turned out to be so popular, would you have ever owned up to it?
Thanks. I just don't get why we can't have a little fun and who cares if the fun is under a different sn. Like I said maybe I wasn't sure how people would react to a spit or swallow post and didn't want them to think I was some freaky weirdo.
Yup I've owned up to past AE fails
I thought that before the polls.
Yes I am sorry too. And I totally have been where you are (minus the children).
IMO, there is nothing wrong with a little fun. I used to be on TK before I got married and whenever an AE would come out (especially on the Etiquette board) everyone got their panties in a wad. I never got it. I love you with an AE or without.
This and becoming this:
Personally, it doesn't bug me. I was on TTGP long enough to know most AEs and trolls are entertaining in a Maury/Jerry Springer/Jenny Jones/Ricki Lake type of way (can you tell I love my talk shows?)
Do I actually believe them? No, but I get enjoyment out of watching the action. For the most part, it's easy to tell if the poster is a troll or AE and what they're saying is MUD. It normally doesn't add up.
Gisa, I'm sorry about the stress you're going through. You and your DH will pull through it like rock stars.
Gisa, I'm sorry you're going through a rough patch. You'll find a way to make it work, but I know the stress in the meantime is hard to deal with.
I guess I just never see them, because I try really hard to ignore it all. You just made such a "thing" about this one because someone reported it that I actually noticed it.
DD #1 passed away in January 2011 at 14 days old due to congenital heart disease
DD#2 lost in January 2012 at 23 weeks due to anhydramnios caused by a placental abruption
This, all of this!!!
I think we all know each other pretty well on here now and would not have judged you for your polls Gisa. No need to use an AE (although I could care less if you do). If someone has a problem with the polls then dont respond to that post.
I give us this. I am done with it, but I will just say my AEs aren't going away! Get used to it bishes.
This is the Gisa I know and love.
THIS!
I like to call it out though because it kills me when people get all emotional about the OP thinking it's real. Also I feel like we're playing "I Spy" or "Where's Waldo"
MUD!
I see it there! haha
