what's up with that? Surely the initiation's supposed to go like this:
* lurk for a little while
* make a few comments on the music board that are super-serious
* introduce yourself to the social board by showing off about your weekends in the appropriate thread
* slowly find yourself getting involved in discussions that you've got something interesting to contribute to
* get too pally and start posting rubbish
* post every single terrible thought that comes into your head
These new users are a bit like those girls that get naked at parties to get attention, but don't realise how repulsive everyone thinks they are.
In other words: internet business - pretty serious?
so who's getting naked then?
I wish I went to parties
where the girls got naked.
Repulsive?
Naked chicks!!!
I know, I know
you'd think it'd be really great, but it's just terrible. Even though they were wrestling in a paddling pool - it was just a really sad scene in a way I can't describe.
but you will try won't you?
what parties?
I see where I've been going wrong now...
wrong parties?
I know that feeling.
I followed the initiation perfectly!
nowadays I'm too afraid to make super-serious comments on the music board because sincerity is totalz lame.
I knew I should have left
the kitchen at some point at every party I've ever been to.
nah that's where the booze is at!
Nah
the kitchen's always where it's at. Why is that?
cos I'm there
plus the cereal. Mainly me though.
:D
And there I was thinking I was the only person who stole all the food at parties. It's the only way to ensure you don't pass out at 1am.
its very important
to get your moneys worth when at parties. and the host would be offended if you didnt eat all the food/drink all the drink.
i hear that's where the booze is at
Leaving your drink in the fridge at a house party
is a terrible idea. You've got to be on guard at all times!
you take two sets
1) The drinks you actually want and keep an eye on
2) the moody budget stuff you whack in the fridge to show you're generous but have no intention of drinking and couldn't give a shit about
I'd try that
but I think leaving a four pack of Asda Smart Price Lager in the fridge whilst I swig Courvoisier is going to look a little obvious.
true
it's probably best just to sit at home in the bath and weep
OR
fill up an old smirnoff bottle with water and pop that in the fridge. jobs a good un.
Dunno
but I think it has something to do with the fact that there's always a cricket bat/paddling incident.
Right, guys? Guys?
truth
^This is exactly the process I went through.
You have to consider that some may be joke accounts.
They're all you, aren't they?
Nope, my account is one huge joke account.
I don't need any.
so you're at the post
every terrible thought stage now yeh?
i think the general consensus is
that you tell us more about these naked partys.
:(
Thats not fair
I started just one thread, one.
And that was only in response to all the piss taking (fair enough) that I got cos I went a bit extreme in one particular thread cos I thought it was particularly unfeeling.
And then someone started a joke fake account (my twin sister) bongss and then she made a thread.
I only made one thread.
K?
It wasn't just in reference to you.
this is EXACTLY what i did :D
* lurk for a little while
* make a few comments on the music board that are super-serious
* introduce yourself to the social board by showing off about your weekends in the appropriate thread
* slowly find yourself getting involved in discussions that you've got something interesting to contribute to
* get too pally and start posting rubbish
* post every single terrible thought that comes into your head
I'm currently on stage two of this
I'm glad I now have a six point action plan to follow. Thanks!
can i still start the first thing that comes into my head though?
what you starting?"!!
Tried and tested method.
I have some terrible thoughts.
im pretty sure
i go through each of those phases about thrice daily. but thats cos im super bored at work
My iniation was through the night shift
so blame my mental gablings on Europeancakeghost, ZsaZsa and other who trained me in the ways of the night shift.
I changed to the dayshift a few months ago and assumed everything was the same - it is 100% not.
no its not at all is it.i tried the nightshift last night
DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON
I preferred it. Less people and more craziness.
The morning shift (The Deadtime) is good fun though - basically just picking through the carcasses of last nights banter.
The night shift can be rather depressing
From my experience it's consisted of a handful of threads, all about the same two people who bitch at each other all night.
^this
From what I've gathered about the night shift it always seems to be the same conversations: "OMG! ONLY 4 USERS ONLINE! WHY ARE YOU UP? LET'S GO ON MSN! LOLOLOLOLOL"
Don't forget the obligatory "Emmi vs. DiS" thread
And any OMGZ I'M SO WASTED I JUST FUCKED A MONKEY threads
Why do people do this?^
Being drunk, and on DiS, and pointing out that you are both drunk and on DiS to everyone on the board, always has it's consequences.
ah yes, those 'non-event' dramas.
i have meated people from msn irl
!!!
Fo' reelz?
I have as well! I still need to meat jp100.
You seem to have
compiled a list of the steps to DiS initiation perfectly. This is pretty much exactly how it happened for me.
I'm at the penultimate point.
Good job it's Summer. I'm disappearing and sporadically reappearing until the weather worsens - hopefully then i'll gravitate towards the summit of the original post once more.
i still get nervous about posting a new thread
even though i've been here long enough to not be.
or maybe because i've been here long enough, i am aware of viler aspects of DiS and know how some can turn over a single comment.
but yeah, do they even know how the internet works? forget the "guide to replying", we need a "guide to DiS for all new users".
Or if you're cool like me:
* Find DiS twice in a day, after googling The Vines and Interpol
* Discover how sad everyone is
* Wind them all up a bit
* Wind them up systematically
* Cause ultimate chaos
* Get a bit bored and start making accounts at school and just clicking 'POST THREAD' about ten million times
* Go back to winding everyone up
* Settle down a little
* Stop using
* Restart using but realise there's no-one left to wind up and just linger around like knickers a floor
you've missed out two stages
* quit
* come back again
these two can be repeated regularly
