I've got to be the most hated person on this message board by at least 40 votes.

Ann Crowell didn't just say that... no wait, she *did* just say that, but just coz she's cool, you all think Ann Crowell's cool.... and now onto the next post, which will be cool..... because Coping is the under 30s message board that hides behind a slick exterior of coolness.... and you think that's cool

By Oom PAPA!!! on Monday, February 5, 2001 - 05:54 am:

I don't hate you, Ann. In fact, I dont even know who you are.

I guess that raises the question of which is worse...

By Ann on Monday, February 5, 2001 - 10:37 am:

Oh Jesus Tapdancing Christ.... somebody actually responded to a post of mine..... what do I do???

But I'm seriously, it's ok that you don't know me... I'm not around here very much anymore... but I was once known as Carly, Pagey, Scarlet.. and assortment of names actually.

And it does raise a question. I hate being not known, but I hate being hated even more. And let's face it... you can't hate someone you don't know <@

By chinese yes please on Monday, February 5, 2001 - 12:39 pm:

why say that what mean by you?

By Eddy on Monday, February 5, 2001 - 02:23 pm:

Ann, all the true Coping greats are unrecognised. Hint hint.

By Oom PAPA!! on Monday, February 5, 2001 - 03:50 pm:

Oh Carly. Carly from Toowoombaba?

By nat on Tuesday, February 6, 2001 - 01:27 am:

argh, under 30s, that's horrible! imagine, fifteen years and i'll be OVER 30.. and that's a HORRIBLE thing to say, ann, 'cos well, ALL the members of Blur are over thirty... some of the coolest people are over thirty (read: jarvis, justine...)! so let's welcome them! (come on, be cool about it...)

also, we keep coming to coping that it well pick up again, and that of the past two years, the last one cannot have been a waste 'cos it's getting, yeah man!
have a lovely day!

I only still come here because of the unlimited-internet-access/not-much-to-do-on-the-internet situation I'm in.

I just wish someone would put up a proper chat room up again. You can get one for free at www.beseen.com which is almost exactly like blurchat.4 that was the nice black screen with white text.

Why doesn't someone make one of them that we can all chat at and link to it from this site? No idea...

By Ann on Tuesday, February 6, 2001 - 06:38 am:

yes, Carly from toowoomba.......

and nat, lighten up Goddamnit! Like I'm actually picking on anyone here or any cool person over 30. I'm taking the piss outta MTV, it's rather a parody of the way South Park took the piss outta MTV... infact, it's a direct take from SP except I changed the words a bit. I'm not dissing anyone. I mean, come on. I happen to think the coolest people in the world are Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page and Brian May and they're all over *40*. So I'm totally seriously, lighten up.

And as for your last little paragraph thing.... I can't make comment coz I have bugger all idea what you were talking about. It did not make sense!

Ok, I've had my bitch and moan for the day and I've turned into Johnny Cochran... that does not make sense!.... so I'll be outta here


Look at the monkey, look at the silly monkey.

*sits back and wonders whose head will explode first*

By Ann on Tuesday, February 6, 2001 - 06:40 am:

And Eddy, was that a positive remark in my direction? Coz if it was..... thank you very much :o)

I s'pose I can be great, but in my current insecure frame of mind, buggered if anyone can actually get me to admit it.....

By The Occifer on Tuesday, February 6, 2001 - 11:51 am:

Carly the Toowoombarian?

By The Occifer on Tuesday, February 6, 2001 - 11:57 am:

Actually, I was just talking about Toowoomba on Saturday night. This girl called Bree (I assume it's not Bree from Coping; they have different acccents) kept coming up to me and saying, "I know you from somewhere, I know you from somewhere!" It turned out she was a Toowoombarian, and when I mentioned that I had lived their for a year in 1998 she got really excited. "I knew I'd seen you, I knew I'd seen you before!"

It was ridiculous. I've never seen her before in my life.

Do you know her, Carly? She's a right annoying little thing, I'm telling you.

By PussyWillow. on Tuesday, February 6, 2001 - 01:53 pm:

What the hell could drive a person into saying her name was Carly?

By Si on Tuesday, February 6, 2001 - 06:59 pm:

Possibly someone asking Carly what her name is?

By nat on Tuesday, February 6, 2001 - 09:02 pm:

oh my god, ann, i was joking... (notice the caps locks and mad teen-style ranting) but okay, thank you for taking me seriously! <-- (see, look, i'm SMILING!) and i think for some reason a "hoping" and a "getting" got off the last paragraph...

and WOW - is that really ash doing kung fu? 'cos the sound is unexpected... (please be gentle, i'm canadian)

to come here is like coming to therapy, i think. when you really need to bitch about something or someone....you log on to Coping and just bitch and moan until you feel it's all out of your system....and you can hide behind annonymity too, which is cool.

i think we all come here because the idea of posting stuff on a message board for x amount of people to read from y amount of different countries is exciting. the fact also that we have formed friendships (or enemyships) thru this very medium is also a main attracting force.

for some of us, however....we just come her to say silly things, have our cyber voices heard and be done with it....regardless of what other people think.

ann, my dear...you shouldn't dismiss the people of Coping and BC as those who aren't your friends. true, there are a lot of morons turning up hither and thither, but the old gang is still that. we who know you, love you....who ever you have been to us whether it's Scarlet, Pagey, Carly, Peanut6 or Ann.

We love you man! don't ever forget it!

By Ann on Wednesday, February 7, 2001 - 08:40 am:

someone who remembers me as Peanut6.... now I really am touched. (that's not a sarcastic comment by the way. I mean it).

I really gotta apologise to a hell of a lot of people here. At times over the past few years of my life, I've had some ups and downs. We all have, but due to a slightly buggered up chemical in my brain, I don't handle anything very well if at all. I've pissed a lot of you off, I've bored you to tears, I've sent you on pointless guilt trips. At the moment, I'm in another trough (no not a horses trough, don't be a big silly) and I'm pretty low... very insecure, very unhappy and going mad with emotional loneliness. So if at any time I say anything that you honestly feel is uncalled for, then it's more than likely I don't mean to say it. To all those who have at least attempted to help me out in the past I thank you and to those of you who told me where I could stick it in no uncertain terms, I thank you too. You helped pull me out of the downs so I could prove to you that I can at times be jsut as great as the next person.
(yes, I know I'm rambling. but this is my open letter of apology and semi-explanation. I ain't forcing you to read it)
There are some people I've been miserable to and I'm sorry. It was for the wrong reasons (usually a deep and unconscious envy) and I admit I was wrong and a bitch. Whatever the case, I hope all my old pals here in Coping and BC can continue to like me, no matter how difficult I am, because quite truthfully, at the bottom of my brashness, bitchiness and nastiness, there's jsut a lonely, frightened little girl who can't see herself amounting to too much.

By ann on Wednesday, February 7, 2001 - 08:43 am:

and yes, Carly the Woombarian.....

was her name Bree Wilson? Sort of short with mousy blonde hair? Coz if that's who you're talking about, I know who it is... I went to high school with her.... weren't really friends tho.... she was a *cool* person at school and I certainly never fit into that category, believe me!

And pussywillow, waddaya want me to say? that my name was hezekiel jezachiah buttpipe the seventh?

By Ha! on Wednesday, February 7, 2001 - 11:17 am:

and you think you are going to get the custard and pour i down your lace bra?...not if i am here you won't!

By ann on Thursday, February 8, 2001 - 02:49 am:

yeh... ok.... thanx for contributing..... i think....

By Sammie on Thursday, February 8, 2001 - 02:07 pm:

i love you, man. you know that. (umm, in a way that is shared between friends just to clear it up for those of you who would think i have lesbian tendancies).
you've been my best bud for several billion years now and i don't see that situation changing any, do you? if there are dumbasses out there who don't like you for no particualr reason other than they hate everybody coz they think they're above everyone else, they should go stick their noses up their asses and realize that their shit don't smell any sweeter than the next persons. if i had the names and addresses of all the people who have made your life hell, i would round 'em up in a van, take them to an out of the way place, have some nazi friends dig a big hole, stand the naughty people around the hole and shoot every single one of them then have my nazi friends bury them and put the grass back over the dirt then walk away. i would have no worries about doing this.

i am not, by any means, a violent person....but i would do anything for a friend.

and to all those people who, in the past, told ann where to shove it, i'd like to see you lot live with what she has....the foot would be on the other hand then wouldn't it???

By Sammie on Thursday, February 8, 2001 - 02:09 pm:

and yes, i DID say "the foot would be on the other hand then"......deal with it.

By The Occifer on Sunday, February 11, 2001 - 02:31 pm:

By the sounds of your description, Carly-Anne, yes it probably is Bree Wilson. But hold on a minute... She was cool at school? My God! May I ask on what basis? What possible grounds did she possess for coolness?

She was a complete irritant. All night.

By Sammie on Monday, February 12, 2001 - 12:57 pm:

i think carly meant she was in the *cool* group...meaning....they *thought* they were cool....living in a deluded reality which they created the days they were born. because they knew that no one would like them unless they had the *appearance* of coolness

By Sammie on Monday, February 12, 2001 - 12:59 pm:

i am talking about this bree chick, btw

By The Occifer on Tuesday, February 13, 2001 - 08:00 am:

Thanks for clearing things up, Sammie my neighbour!

By Sammie on Tuesday, February 13, 2001 - 12:05 pm:

you're welcome muchly mr the occifer :o)
