Cheeky


I enjoy commenting at Roissy's. Although when I first started I'd get this big pit in my stomach prior to hitting submit and worry I was going to look like an idiot. I put on my best confidence panties and just went for it. I received positive responses from Default, Doug and Maurice which offered me enough courage to continue. I was attacked by Welmer but looking back I can see how that happened and hold no grudges.

I've become a semi-regular and no longer have the anxiety I once did. I flew under radar from Roissy's wandering gaze for a long time before I was chastised for using the forum as an IM chat room rather than a commententary salon. He was right.

Yesterday Comment_Whatever said this:

Aoefe, I think you should wear a name-tag or something. It could tell people your current mental state.

Hello! My name is Aoefe!

Today I am:

Happy!

Sad.

Sexy and Silly

Profound

Agitated and going to verbally eviscerate the next person who ticks me off.

Maybe Anon deserved it, but girl do you have a sharp tongue.



That comment gave me pause for thought. I should mention Tupac agreed with him. I was surprised I suppose because I harboured no ill intent or will for the commenter anon. I could see myself in her in some ways. We just took different approaches in how we responded to the board. I'll admit I was flattered she'd read my blog and liked it and far be it from me to attack a reader in any venomous way.

The thing is I believe many readers assign tones to the writer they are reading. CW is telling me in the comment above that my tone changes and it's difficult to know who I'm going to be from comment to comment or maybe more from day to day. Interesting.

I'm a cheeky girl - many times when I'm writing I'm simply being a tongue in cheeky chick. I love to laugh and humour should be infused into almost every situation in my opinion. Guess this isn't translating to everyone at Roissy huh.

Of course I do have different moods and I am able to write with the mood I'm in. I'm genuinely the person I present at Roissy, no need for character/persona, so in truth it thrills me that CW has picked up on the different me's. Thanks CW. *cheeky grin
