Ask silvershoes #2

    I'm making a second one of these threads just to spite Noir :)
    Kidding! I had fun on the first one, so who's up for ROUND TWO!?

    Here's the original description:

    This will either fail miserably or be very successful. At first I thought making a post targeting my lovely self would make me seem incredibly egotistic... then I realized, Wait Jane, You are incredibly egotistic.

    I've been on here about 5 years, I assume a good amount of you know me, especially the mods. The mods adore me, it's true. But never ask one, because they will tell you lies! Lies!
    Kidding.

    Anyway, ask me something. Anything. I am interested in all things.
    For those of you with a personal vendetta, this is your opportunity to catch me on my own without club members to rush to my defense!

    I hate to draw attention to Noirs argument that there is no I in team . As a proud member of the elite club you manage I have found you to be broad minded and deep. If you were suddendly afflicted with a disability or a treatable dissorder that made you narrow minded and shallow which disoder would you prefer to take the remedy for fist being shallow or narrow minded

  • silvershoes

    What an odd question, and very interesting.

    Well, if you're being honest and not sarcastic!!, thank you very much for the kind words (about me being broad minded and deep and beautiful.. oh woops, you didn't say beautiful).

    I have trouble seeing how being deep and narrow-minded could go hand in hand, but I would absolutely take the remedy for being shallow first. I'd hate to be shallow OR narrow minded, but I think being shallow would do more harm in general. Maybe not.

    Which would you pick, Michael?

  • Michael D Nalley

    Beautiful goes without saying it

    I would rather be narrow minded than to be shallow.
    A would be poet would be useless without depth

    The experts on how the brain works from a strickly natural point of veiw believe that autistic savants are better at collecting data than forming a conclusion from their amazing ability to focus at times on seemingly useless imformation. Therefore it seems that an affliction could cause many to think outside of the box to discover facts that otherwise go unnoticed

  • silvershoes

    Too late! Just kidding, you didn't add to my big head.. I already take credit for diminishing the animosity between club and mod. I'm a hero, what can I say?
    No not really, I'm pretty sure it reached that time naturally.. to let go of grudges and start again freshish.
    Regardless of what Noir says, everyone is welcome in here to flirt with each other (Bob and Rikki..) or ask me questions. Ask each other questions too if you'd like.

    "Jane, are you able to pin point the time in your life that made you become so incredibly egotistical and self absorbed, or did that just happen throughout time? :P"

    Ahh, very good question and I gave it some thought. Honestly, I think I joke about being egotistic and am not as overabundantly self-absorbed as it seems. I have just as many insecurities as anyone else, but I also realize my self-worth and recognize my skills. It's amusing to me to play the part of someone who thinks of themselves as faultless and magnificent. Whether people believe that I'm incredibly egotistic or believe that it's just a front, that's entirely not something I care about :)
    If I had to pinpoint a point in time.. err, well, I can't. It's a trait that's taken a long time to develop and is still developing.
    Or wait, maybe it was when I took an IQ test senior year of highschool and scored high genius. HAHA! And that's also when I realized how ridiculously accurate IQ tests are.

    This is your opportunity to catch me on my own without club members to rush to my defense!"

    You asked people to ask you anything, yet rather than answer my questions forthright you claim that somehow I'm ruining your thread or at least attempting it... It makes me smile when looking at the contradictions yet seeing as its you... I'm not surprised...

    Now answer this question: From your last thread plus this...Did your club members rush to your defence?

    Now try to read the last thread and this thread than give your answer...

    Oh and nice one on making this thread... You gave me the chance to ask my question...Lol

  • Noir
    15 years ago

    ^ Your point being?

    If you don't understand than try to learn from the situation at hand... Its that simple... Lol..

    I'm sure she's capable of defending herself which isn't what I've asked in earlier posts...

  • Noir
    15 years ago

    My point being is exactly what I freaking said. I don't understand because it's impossible to make sense of something that makes NO SENSE anyway"

    If you don't understand than try to learn from the situation at hand.. All I've asked where questions and if you read the previous posts you'd see that other than me, rikki, luke and musicality which I explain previous why they posted... Only the mods and club members asked the questions... I wonder if that what jane meant by "pnq community"...

    So forgive me asking questions in ask anything thread... Lol

    No one is saying anything to her that she would have to have her buddies 'defend' her. Haven't you noticed you're the only one being a pain in the butt and going off about it?"

    Lol.. Seriously Britt, go back and read the previous posts... Don't misunderstand because really you're going off tangent and barking at something you yourself stated haven't checked upon... I've originally intended to ask one question but alas it hasn't been answered.it's quite funny

  • silvershoes

    "Now answer this question: From your last thread plus this...Did your club members rush to your defence?"

    No. Britt answered this question exactly how I would answer it. There has been nothing to defend. You are the only one acting as if there is some horrifying, unacceptable hypocrisy at hand.

    Forgive me if I have failed to answer forthright another one of your tremendously important questions, but I don't see how I can be more forthright. It's a yes or no question. No is the answer.

    Everyone on this site is welcome to ask me questions. Stop acting like it's my choice to have select people participate.

    Your IP is the IP I mentioned in the last thread that I would suspend irrevocably. You benefit no one, add nothing positive, stir up trouble, belittle mods, and sabotage the sanctity of anything pleasant. I know you will take NO offense to these words, I know you will come back with something distasteful and nasty, but I want no one else on this site to suspect that it is them I would suspend irrevocably. It is only you.
    However, do not think for a minute that you disrupt my happiness and serenity in any way. You're easy enough to ignore, but not having you around to ignore would be better.
    ----
    Anyone here have some nice questions to ask? :) Like my favorite color? Actually, I'll just tell you. It's purple. Wait no, silver.

    Do you argue with noir because you secretly have a crush on him and think he is dreamy and witty?

    Never asked you would suspend? Did I? You can claim that I belittle, stir up trouble and sabotage, yet why o why haven't I been suspended... Hmm? I have been in this site longer than you and known many that have now gone from this site... I don't put distinguish myself as part of a group because really I came in here as an individual... Only those with bruised egos would find my innocent posts as nothing more than condescending nastiness.. Lol...

    "Do you argue with noir because you secretly have a crush on him and think he is dreamy and witty?"

    How did you know!? I see your point though. It's stupid of me to argue with him. Stupid and pointless and I'm making it look like I care, which is so funnily far from reality.

    I'm going to walk my dog. He's acting really weird pacing around, looking out the window and making low "oof" noises. Animals are nutty.

    Oh my god, john. oh. my. god.

    My urinary sphincter just relaxed ever so slightly.

  • silvershoes
    15 years ago

    Hahaha, I know! John, I nearly peed myself when I read that.

    Update: I decided to let my dog out into my yard instead of walking him. Mistake! There were 3 raccoons outside, 2 ran up a tree, but the other leaped onto Lu's back and started attacking him. I got my dog away and put him back in the house, made sure he wasn't bleeding anywhere (he's fine), then went outside to avenge him... with a samurai sword. I chased the raccoon about a quarter mile, waving the sword around above my head, making scary noises like a demon. Probably gave the little guy a heart attack.
    Such is life.

    Huh... I quite honored to be complimented by a John Doe... However unfortunately you proved my point... You actually stepped in and helped Jane see the light... which along with the club members posting to her thread rather the two other thread the share the common word. Plus other than the mods and club members only four members ever asked... Shall we say you helped me john doe. Lol...

    "And just as our club has changed and continues to change, the opinions people have of our club should change and continue to change - but unfortunately, minds can be stupidly stubborn."
    "-There's a certain member I would suspend irrevocably."

    Hypocritical... Don't cha think...? Its a good thing all of my questions were answered by your own posts... Thanks jane...Lol

  • silvershoes
    15 years ago

    "Jane, ever had sexy times on a horse?"

    Hm... actually had to think about this one. The answer is...................... no. My first boyfriend was a cowboy and we used to head out on trails, tie our horses to a tree and then make sexy time in bushes. That's as close as it got.

    "Hypocritical... Don't cha think...?"

    Er, nope, not at all. Our club has changed, but you sure haven't!
    Before this becomes a thing of the past, I am going to politely ask you to either abandon this thread, Noir, or be friendly. Whichever you can manage easier.
    If you try to be more pleasant, I guarantee my own pleasantness.

    "What lesson did your parents teach you that still remains freshest in your mind."

    Actually Rikki, I'm not quite human.. maybe you've seen me in the Wizard of Oz? If I only had a brain..

    Lessons, lessons. My dad is Lesson King. He probably teaches me something new every day. The most recent words of wisdom were:
    "You can cut a branch down, but you can't put it back." In other words, be patient before changing something that cannot be unchanged. Leave it for a while until you're sure of yourself.
    "There's a tool for everything. When something goes wrong, it's because you were too hasty and used the wrong tool." Another lesson in being patient and doing things the right way instead of trying to cut corners.
    "Cut away the little branches all you like, but as long as the big branches are alive, the little ones will grow back." You can try to change a person, but no matter how many little things you change, that person is still the same as they always were, and the little things you've changed will reappear over time. In conclusion, don't expect to change anyone.

    ^^ All those lessons were when we were rebuilding our treehouse a month ago, before he left on a business trip. He's a very wise old dude :) I take everything he says to heart - and that's why sometimes I can't stand him!!

    Four of the biggest lessons I've picked up from my parents over a long time, not specific quotes, but by watching how they lead their lives and witnessing how certain behavior pleases them and disappoints them...
    1. Help others, especially if they'll never find out you've helped them. Sometimes it's better for everyone if no one knows they're being helped along, and it feels good to the soul to have done something for someone else and you're the only one who knows.
    2. Always tell the truth. Always be honest. Dishonesty can destroy other people, it is one of the cruelest things.
    3. If someone speaks nastily about others to you, you can guess they speak nastily about you to others. And if you speak nastily/gossip about others, you can bet no one will trust you.
    4. Be a good listener. There are so very few good listeners that if you learn to listen - really listen - you'll earn yourself a lot of friends. My dad has been telling me this since I was a little kid.

    Yep. I know you were looking for one lesson I've learned from the rents.. s'pose I got carried away. I have wonderful parents :)

    How have you and your club changed...? And how could you have know that I haven't seeing as all I've asked was a question that was allowed by you (ask anything)... Yet after my first question you told a member that you'd suspend me forever...

    Hmm it seems you haven't changed your stripes... As for pleasentries... Isn't it enough that I get to ask questions I wouldn't in any other thread?

    Because really I'm having fun

    Jane what sort of members most suit our Club

  • silvershoes
    15 years ago

    Hmm... all sorts, but we prefer an active member of course!

    If you want to get to know a group of interesting people intimately and you want to be known and have a group of people very interested in YOU, I'd recommend THE CLUB. If you can handle criticism, if you have a way with words, if you know who you are and know what you stand for, if you enjoy a bit of flirting and story-writing role play, if you can take a joke and dish one out... well, not only would I recommend THE CLUB, but we'd love to have you.

    We're under the spotlight a fair bit as well, so if you can't handle attention... you probably don't want to join!

    Well, you're probably the first person I would ask, my sweet. You sure help us stay under it! Always here to bump our threads up... very thoughtful.

  • silvershoes

    Aw, we only need you, Noir! You're the most faithful companion ever, much like I said... always here to bump the threads up and make us feel important! No one could do your job as wonderfully, no one could possibly help us remain under the spotlight as determinedly.

    Aww thank you... and thank you for another hypocritical post...I'm sure you didn't mean when you said "Stupid and pointless and I'm making it look like I care, which is so funnily far from reality."

    Wow I'm sure you're not making it look lije you care because it'd be dollops of fun for me.

    Heck the smells in here too...oh well

    Well answered Jane...thank you

    So Jane you have your own horse Smokey Joe, do you have others and do you ride other horses

    Do you ride competitively or do you intend too

    Wow I'm sure you're not making it look lije you care because it'd be dollops of fun for me."

    I care about you heaps! Without you no one would pay any attention to me or my club. At least not half as much! I love getting attention and you sure know how to give it. Don't ever stop! :P

    You're right, very hypocritical of me. I'm glad to have set you up with another reason to post! Oh, like I said, what an excellent team we make. Let's see... how else can I be hypocritical. Ah yes.
    I would never suspend you Noir, not in a million years, not now that I see your value :)

    "So Jane you have your own horse Smokey Joe, do you have others and do you ride other horses

    Do you ride competitively or do you intend too"

    I love it when people take interest in my horses or my riding! Who doesn't love talking about their favorite things?
    I have 3 horses, well 4 sort of because I have 100% responsibility of another horse. The 3 I own are Arabians. The 4th is a brown and white paint with blue eyes. He's a handsome boy, that's for sure.
    I do not ride competitively. For a short while I did. I did dressage/jumping, western pleasure showmanship, gymkhana, and mostly (and most recently) endurance racing. If you don't know what endurance racing is, you should watch "Hidalgo." Love that movie.

    Oh don't worry I won't... You guys are fun to play with..

    But seeing as my only role is bumping you guys... I wonder what you meant by " We're under the spotlight a fair bit as well, so if you can't handle attention... you probably don't want to join!"

    Lil ol me can't get all the credit... Who else is putting you in the spotlight?

  • silvershoes
    15 years ago

    Well besides you... Anyone who ever has. You're just as qualified to make a list as me, I should think. You've seen it all, haven't you...? Our loyal companion since day 1, always keeping a close eye on everything! You're almost like THE CLUB's little guardian angel.

    By the way, I want to applaud your poetic genius in writing that 'roses are red, violets are blue' poem on your homepage. Truly innovative and awe-inspiring ;) I am humbled by your prowess.

    I'd like to thank all the little people that helped me become the club's guardian angel... (Hold back the tears Noir...) I'd also like to thank the nominees... I promise I'll laugh at the club for days to come... Oh god here comes the tears...

    Haha, I second that notion. Laugh all you like! The more laughs, the merrier! I'll laugh too :) I already am!

    What'd John say again, Noir? Remind me. Something something... crush on Noir. Well, if that's what you're referring to, I can assure you I don't have a a crush on you. I'm freaking in love with you! Marry me?

    15 years ago

    I'm a nobody, really. But if you must know, I'm part of The Club. I haven't participated in the main forums in well over a year, but I felt like I'd hop back in.

    I figured you both loved each other....so much tension in these threads, I must admit, even I'm blushing a little.

  • Noir
    15 years ago

    What'd John say again, Noir?"

    Umm lets see I believe he said "Do you argue with noir because you secretly have a crush on him and think he is dreamy and witty?" and you said "How did you know!? "I see your point though. It's stupid of me to argue with him. Stupid and pointless and I'm making it look like I care, which is so funnily far from reality."

    "I'm freaking in love with you! Marry me?"

    Wow... I can really do better than you... But thanks for the offer you're not the first... Lol

  • silvershoes
    15 years ago

    Oh, you devilishly charming thing, you. Yes, I'm sure you have girls falling at your feet left and right. How silly of me to think you'd want me. Well... SIGH. Life goes on.
    You're right, John sure called me out. Everyone in the club knows how much I adore you. I go on and on about it, they're probably sick of it by now! But how can one contain such profound admiration and adoration? One simply cannot.

    Jordan and Noir haven't met. Now that's amusing.
    Well I'm sure the two of you will be good buddies soon enough :)

  • Noir

    Just make sure you get your fair share of everything that Noir has (80%)"

    <<She can take whatever is in my avatar but she aint touching my cats...

    If females are falling at Noir's feet, it's probably because they haven't yet learnt how to walk in heels"

    I find it amazing how women put up with high heels... But you're right they don't wear heels just boots... And we all know boots are made for walking...

    You don't want to know.
    At least 5 hours a day.
    But sometimes I go for weeks without a computer. It's refreshing to take breaks.

    Now will you all excuse me for a bit? I had my tongue warts removed today and I'm in excruciating agony. I wonder how Abby is keeping after getting her anal warts removed yesterday. I can't imagine!
