Anybody else here feel WAY out of touch?

[mr_hat]

I just miss out on so much: rivalries, stalkings, vendettas, ignores, alerts... Whoosh! Right over my head.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled soap.

[ET Awful]

1. Hehehe, I feel the same way, the problem is, I'm here

all freakin' day from work, this shit must happen late at night when all the good little DUers are in bed.

I have no clue what's going on . . . then again that applies to most aspects of my life :)

[qnr]

2. absolutely n/t

[loudestchick]

3. I was beginning to feel like I'd stepped through a portal or some such.

Glad to know I'm not alone in the WHOOOSSSHHH!

[Undercover Owl]

4. me too

I almost always find out about pizza parties long after the tombstoning. That's all I'm sorry about. I'm not too concerned about rivalries or cliques.

[Arkana]

5. You're not alone, pal

I miss out on so much I'm surprised I haven't been shit-canned for not knowing what was going on. :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

6. What happened now? Or is something left over from the sex thread fiasco?

:shrug:

[mcscajun]

9. What's been goin' on...

13. meep.

I've just been browsing it, yikes... DU has gone mad I tell ya, MAD! :crazy:

They never say what he did, do they? Oh well, at least theres a place for people to post about it, right?

[mcscajun]

15. Indeed. 'nuff said. n/t

[FuzzySlippers]

7. I think we need some sort of publication.

A DU Soap Opera Digest.

[Taxloss]

8. Apparently

There was fighting, sex threads, people getting banned. I saw none of this. I call that efficient moderating.

[KittyWampus]

12. LOL! It Can Take Too Much Energy To Keep Up With The Daily Churning

:D

[mcscajun]

10. I feel much the same way...

...but then I think it must be because I spend most of my time on "Latest" rather than in any particular board, like the Lounge or GD.

[Bok_Tukalo]

11. Either I missed all the sex threads

or what I consider a sex thread and what others consider a sex thread are two entirely different things.

[Beaverhausen]

14. I do. And furthermore...why no hugs and kisses for me?

I need them too!!!!

[meppie-meppie not]

16. here you go beaver

:hug:

[smbolisnch]

17. And here I thought I was the only one.

I was actually making dinner and thinking about this whole situation. LOL
Thankfully I'm not the only one who can't keep up with the day's of our lives on DU. :crazy:

[sendero]

18. Yeah...

... and I thought I spent too much time here :)

[cruadin]

19. There does seem to be a lot of behind-the-scenes melodrama.

Sort of like an overly contrived romance novel---midnight assignations, betrayals, infidelity, un-sanctified burials---hell, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a demented relative locked in the attic.

[rockymountaindem]

20. Yeah, me too.

It seems that a lot of times I see something that I think is controversial. Then I leave, come back later, and find out that it really *was* controversial... but then I'm in the dark as to how it was resolved.

Then there are the times that I unwittingly stumble into some peoples' inside joke or alternative persona. That's always embarassing, and sometimes people get really mad. I have to remind myself not to post in the lounge as much.

[sffreeways]

21. I do

I used to be here 24/7 having the best time. And sometimes I hated it too. But mostly I love this place. I even moderated for a bit.

In May of 2003 something personal happened that changed my life and took me away from DU. Now I come back and I don't know anyone and have no idea what the hell is going on.

I feel lost here. And I feel out of touch for sure.

There is so much to catch up on it's overwhelming.

Anyway, you're not alone.

[smbolisnch]

22. Things change very fast around here!

Nice to meet you!! :hi:

[KG]

23. i, for one, am glad to see you back.

:hi:

[SarahB]

24. I've been too busy working this week.

Plus, I was still feeling pretty sick until today. (Not to mention a bunch of legal, procedural business at the moment.) I'm clueless on all this DU stuff. Then again, I never keep up with gossip. :shrug:
