Hello

kirstenviola · January 2014

I'm new here. I wanted to say hi and see if you guys will accept me into your fancy little club. I've been hanging out reading responses for awhile but never felt like signing up for the website. But I'd like to participate if you people aren't too entrenched in each other. My baby was born September 10th.

Nukke · January 2014

Whose club is fancy now? Why didn't anyone tell me? I've been slumming around here in my mom sweats covered in baby spit up and dried boob juice.

A little advice... intros go better when you don't alienate yourself straight out of the gate.

@Nukke is wise.

And, um, hi.

kirstenviola · January 2014

It wasn't my intention to alienate myself, as you say, and that's now what I was trying to do. I've just been observing for a long time and you all seem to love each other a lot.

Nukke · January 2014

I opened this post all excited for a new person

then I read it and I'm...

I'm no longer the head of the welcoming committee. @nukke took that over for me. I was told I was "too harsh" whatever that means.

Don't be a creep, jump in, and don't start shit. We spent the past year getting to know each other so yes, we have a fancy club.

We always fuck up welcome posts. Not that this one was truly worthy of one but oh well.

Wait, can we still be fancypants if we don't wear pants?? Does that make us fancypantsless?

Don't get ahead of yourselves ladies. Keep things straight. We are simply "fancy" not "fancypants" or "fancypantsless". to be pantsless is to be fancy, so it's redundant to say "fancypantsless". The OP obviously understands that we are pantsless, otherwise she would not have called us fancy. The pantslessness issue was confused a bit when @HBirdie mentioned she farted and peed in her pants, but she didn't say when this happened, nor did she make it clear whether or not she was actually wearing the pants at the time.

Now, back to welcoming OP.

welcome and stuff.

Try this: "I'm new here. I wanted to say hi. I've been hanging out reading responses for awhile but never felt like signing up for the website. But it is now clear you are all amazing and I'd like to participate. My baby was born September 10th."

See how that doesn't alienate you OR insult/judge "us people" but instead functions as a friendly introduction?

Girl I had to go back and see what she actually wrote. Damn.

All of your responses just confirmed how I was feeling- that you're all a little obsessed with yourselves. But my hope is that even though you feel I've gotten off on the wrong foot, I can still participate in the conversation successfully. This is an open forum, after all.

Oh yeah, sure you all are totes obsessed with yourselves but I still want in. Yea. Zip up your flame suit hun.

kirstenviola · January 2014

I'm also quite appalled at the things you're willing to share with absolute strangers. It's horrifying and disgusting.

See if I'd read that when I opened the post initially, I wouldn't have this naked feeling below the waist hollow feeling inside my chest.

Are you trying to make us hate you? You're doing a great job at it.

I'm confused. We are full of ourselves, have no social grace and are both horrifying AND disgusting, yet you want to be a part of our "fancy" (implied: elitist/exclusive/exclusionary) club?

kirstenviola · January 2014

No! You're misinterpreting my words. I'm NOT saying that you're disgusting people. Just that you share a lot. More than I'd be comfortable with personally. I'm sorry, that probably wasn't the best way to word it. I don't want any hate. If you dislike me, maybe you can just stop looking at this thread?

This isn't how I intended this to go. Perhaps I can start over?

No, you did not start off well. Perhaps if you genuinely apologize for the things you said. Whether intentional or not, you came across as snobby and rude. That doesn't go over well here and we never forget.

eta: There's no way everyone will just forget and let this thread die. Just fyi.

Whoah whoah whoah. start over? I was just getting going! Seriously, OP, if you want to start over I would start with a new name. Cause seriously, if that is your first and last name, that is not safe internetting. There are all sorts of weirdos on here (present company included), and you want to protect yourself and your LO (especially if you post photos) from being tracked down.

I know that's not what you meant. Seriously, though, instead of turning it around you just keep digging a deeper hole. And, while i did so mostly in jest, i offered you an out...
If you really want to be part if the board, 1. no one can stop you and 2. relax. don't take this thread, this board or yourself so seriously, laugh at your missteps and give a friendly intro.
