ROFL!! You are crazy, Randy! I will make my post that way too. (I will not use my real name though. My parents would get pissed if they saw that. I will call myself Nita )

Nita read Sharkmans post, laughing out loud. Nitas brother who is currntly sitting across the table is telling her about the girl whom he might go out with. Nita starts to feel lonely because she like Sharkman and Fox, doesn't have a boyfriend. Nita forgets about the feeling and goes on with her fake emotions, trying to please everyone.

Nita then goes back to finishing Sharkman's post and says it's BS that the McGray's are the superior family. Everyone knows it is the Grayson's! And BS that girls don't pay attention to him. Nita liked Sharkman, he was very nice and funny. It also pisses Nita off when guys like Sharkman and Fox don't have girlfriends when they are everything that a decient girl would, or should, like in a guy.

Nita now types in the private part of the conv. <span class="ev_code_WHITE">Of course he isn't 33 silly! That would be creepy, not to mention sick. I hope it turns out okay too. Thnkyou, you are so nice. I only wish that you would be happy and find a great girl for you. It will happen one of these days.. Thankyou, I will talk to you if I need to. Your a great listener. No, wait. Would it be reader? Oh, Nita likes Sharkman alot except for the part of being greatly obssesed with calling Nita obbsesed with her family. </span>

Nita's brother is now yelling at her because she is not listining to him because she is typing on the compy that her family claims is taking over her life. She mutters 'thats not true' and goes to her room to shed some tears.

Nita now presses the POST NOW button that will put some of her inner most thoughts on the compy. She wishes that her new cyber friends will not think she is to weird and not talk to her. Next, Nita plans, she will go answer back to VGDawn.

Uhh...after reading your last post, I dunno, I don't think I'm really interested in hearing about someone's family, and all...

Maybe we should keep our interactions just to VGDawn...

[sharklord]

I just scared the wits out of you, didn't I? If I did and your not mad, good. If I did and your mad I played off your deepest fears, then I'm really sorry, it was just a joke. If you didn't read this entire sequence of posts, then I'm scared I just alienated you. I'm REALLY REALLY REALLY SORRY. (Dead serious: Please forgive me, I didn't mean to make you feel bad.)

I'm going to post a response on VGDawn, and then come back to this tonight and do a larger post.
And no, I don't think you're weird at all. Or at least you're weird in the same way I am. I'm officially normal. Therefore everyone else in the world is weird. Join me, and we can all be wierd togeather.

P.S. Is it "wierd" or "weird?"

[nitafan211]

omg, you scared the crap out of me! No, it's okay, I forgive you. I just posted on VGDawn. If you come on come to chat.. I am there. It would be cool to actually talk to you, not hit and miss. I need to go see if there are any new posts in VGDawn..

PS, it is weird. I will come and join you, then. *joins Sharkman in his own little world of normal/weird people*

[sharklord]

((Sorry I didn't post this yesterday, like I thought I would. I went out to a movie with my dad and when we got back, (around midnight) I was quite tired. I actually fell asleep at my computer typing my response on VGDawn...))

Randy pulled himself togeather. He was woozy. He was sore. He was sleeping in an uncomforatble task chair. He dragged himself over to his bed and fell into it. He was asleep faster then he could ever remember going.

Randy pulled himself togeather. He was woozy. He was sore. He was...wait a minute...

This was the state of Randy's mind as he made his way over to the computer at last. He groggily typed the last sentences on VGDawn which he was too tired to do the night before. Randy mindfully copied his post by highlighting it and pressing "copy" so that when the inevitable "Forbidden" page came up, informing him he had timed out, he could paste the post again w/o having to type it all over. Randy decided on running some music. Ironically, the song he chose was PODs "Alive."

Randy thought back a day to when he had read Nita's post...


Randy winced slightly at Nita's comment about her parents not want her to use her name. Randy had pondered it before he had first typed it. But he felt that there weren't alot of people here to read it, just he and Nita and Fox, and he was getting tired of having to sort out wether it was Shark'lord' or Shark'man.' Besides, neither was a name anyway. Randy decided that it was safe enough, because "Randy" was just his nickname, anyway. He would have to ask Nita not to mention it on VGDawn, though, too many people...

Crazy! I am absolutely NOT...well...next point.

Nita typed she was lonely. Randy didn't think so. You can only be lonely when you have absolute no friends. Randy knew for a fact that Nita had at least two. And because these Nita and Fox happened to be Randy's friends, they were pulled under his personal "umbrella of sanity."

Randy read that Nita thought that the Grayson's were better, once again... A thought came to his mind that maybe he should acknowledge it in an attempt at reverse psycology... Then he remembered the Shark"man" thing and decided to return the banter in the usual way. If reverse psycology doesn't work the first time, it probably won't work at all...

Randy had to skim the rest, because he had to go to school, and his dad was waiting for him. He wished that he could post from there, but you weren't allowed to non-school related activites on the computers. They would let you check your e-mail, but that was about as far as the computer people were willing to give. If you got caught doing something else, only tears could follow... So Randy endured a long hard school day did the arduous reading he should have done for HW at lunch, and left for home at 2:45. When he got to his dad's car from the metro, he found out he had to go with his dad to "put togeather" a file cabinet--as in taking it out of the bottom of the box because mom said she was too weak to do it herself. Randy helped his dad and made it home at last.

Time went by quickly. Soon, Randy was at a movie with his dad. Soon, he was home. Soon, he was asleep in an uncomfortable task chair. Randy had pretty much enjoyed his Friday. Except he felt really guilty about the joke he played on Nita. He was berating himself in the back of his mind all before and after the movie. Luckily, Nita didn't hate him.

Now here it was, morning, and Randy is writing his post. He had come to the white-out section. Randy typed:

<span class="ev_code_WHITE">Oh good, I'm glad you aren't mad or anything. And yes, it would be SERIOUSLY CREEPY if the guy was 33. Cringe. I'm glad you have such a high opinion of me, it's nice to know that there's someone out there who doesn't think I'm not worth talking to. One other thing. Were you serious when you said I scared you? Like I said, I'm really sorry. But remember this: Never ever ever let someone else's opinion of you get the better of of your emotions. You are always what you make yourself to be, not what someone else says you are. McGray's are better. Dwin forever. Ra. Ra. Ra.</span>

Hmmm... Are you a morning person? If it's on Monday, then maybe in the morning. Dad usually has an agenda that he wants me to follow, expecially on holidays. Sometime on Monday, I'll try to be near my computer,though.

The previous was another PersonalRolePlayingEpisode, by Randy, the Sharklord.

BTW, if anyone has an on-topic post about ponch (we've gone through quite a bit.), then feel free to put it in. That's what these forums are here for.

I for one would like to say that Ponch's skills at finding things will be used extensively throughout the upcoming book. I also think that he is aware of his power and that the Powers are aware of him. After all, they sent Ronan to find him ("the best Seeker there is" or something like that--see third excerpt). Maybe the Powers influenced his magical development, and that's why he can do so much stuff...

[Fox]

God almighty you two have been busy!!!! Two day!! Two days I have been gone and theres two pages of posts!!! hahahaha you two are sooooooooo funny!! I love the private conversation written in white trick!! and theres me thinking people were using it as a spoiler thing! hahahah, so what you kids been up two? Oh thanks for the symp about my social problem! you will be some of the first people to find out once that is sortted!!

Sharklord I was re-reading WD and I was intrested in the 'tran pig', Now this pig is everywhere at all times! Sort of a record of everyone and everything all the time! Now when Kit and Poncg where looking for Nita the pig was shocked about Ponch! Now that pig should know! This lead's me to believe that nothing like Ponch has ever happend before and told Kit about those Universes that Ponch finds and creates, What I can't remember is if Kit told Tom or Carl??? I'm really hopping we will see some Powers in this next book!

BTW, if anyone has an on-topic post about ponch (we've gone through quite a bit.), then feel free to put it in. That's what these forums are here for.

Oh! I was beginning to wonder .

Seriously, though:

Randy had pondered it before he had first typed it. But he felt that there weren't alot of people here to read it, just he and Nita and Fox, and he was getting tired of having to sort out wether it was Shark'lord' or Shark'man.'

Well, there are over 800 people registered with the site, and you don't know how many are reading this or any other post.

If you want to be sure that only a few people can read your posts, you might be better creating a private topic. As far as I know, those are limited to the people listed when you create it, plus DD and Lee.

I'm not complaining about the not-Ponch stuff, just reacting to the bit about people not reading your posts. I tend to read all the posts in the list on the front page, and I expect others do too.

[sharklord]

Yeah, I know PM. I don't mind. But only because it's my nickname and it has no real relation to my name on anything official. I have to explain the whole reason I go by "Randy" over and over again to my teachers, who think I'm joking...

And I know, too that there are plenty of lurkers. Trust me when I say that I only type stuff that I'm willing to have public knowledge to the people on this site. Although your point is duly noted...

Huh, never made a private topic before. But there's a first for everything.

Fox. You have a point about the Pig. I forgot all about that exchange. Look, I'll type more, but I'll have to go out again...

[nitafan211]

Nita looked back and read all the posts she missed. She was going to do the same thing as Randy and fall asleep in her chair.. she had been out all day walking. Now she was exhsusted. She knew about the 800 or so ppl that lurk so she doesn't want to put her real name. She felt good that she was considered Sharklords friend. He would make a good friend. Then she read on about the reverse psycology thing. She laughed.

Nita walked into the kitchen to get the radio, she limped in to the kitchen actually. Her feet were killing her. She had been walking all day. She was tired. She needed to sit down in front of the computer and talk to the friends her dad says aren't real friends. She knew it was pointless to argue with him. She knew that they were her friends, and thats all that matters.

Nita wasen't mad at Randy and she felt bad that he felt bad about the joke he did. She didn't care, as long as he liked her, as a friend of course.

Nita read on to the next post and laughed. Her? A morning person? She laughed again. She could barely get up at 10 in the morning on Saturdays. She was definetly not a morning person.

She read on. She read on and thought it was intristing, Randy's points about Ponch.

She now moves on to Fox's post and laughes, again. They sure have been busy. Well, there was a lot to talk about, Nita thought. She was glad he thought she was funny. She didn't think she was. She doesn't think there was a social problem with Fox in the first place. She just thought that he was waiting for 'the one'. 'The one' that would fill his heart with joy whenever he looked at her, whenever she spoke to him. Nita hoped it would happen to him soon, he deserved it. She also hoped the same thing for Randy. They are boths such good and nice people and deserve the best.

She also thought Fox's points wree intristing too. She thought most points made her were intristing, too bad Nita coulden't think of any..

She hoped whereever Randy wa going that he had fun. Now, nita will click on the post now button and then she will go answer more posts..
