It might make me a bad person, but I think you all should know that sometimes if someone that I think is silly or rude messages me on okcupid, I purposely say things to pick a fight and try to say the most outlandish things possible. I time them to see how long they chat with me before they get fed up and leave. Tonight was a record! Over half an hour of silly and mindless arguing. I think I might be deemed a “troll” if I was on a message board acting like this.
I hope you don’t think any less of me?
If it helps, I only do it with people who proposition me in some way first.
This is my favorite part of the conversation from tonight with an Indian engineer who thinks all American women are like the characters he has seen on “Teen Mom” and “The Girls Next Door”:
Kumar: so what you have to say about statistics?
Shannon: I don’t believe in statistics, they aren’t real. They are just made up by the person who wants to make a certain point. Only 1 in 5 statistics are actually real.
Kumar: What about government statistics?
Shannon: The government is a corrupt conspiracy. They make up statistics all the time. The whole census thing is complete crap. I filled mine out with a green crayon. I said I had 4 kids from 3 different fathers and one spoke Finnish.
I hope this makes you smile because this journal is SOOOOOO depressing more often than not.
