Subject: This is "Us" (as a community)

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

If you are reading this you most likely visit B.net multiple times a day, either everyday or every other day. This, right now, is just part of your regular day. Well, right now as we post together like always, it is a Saturday night. 11:56 in the central, to be exact.

What's the point?

Well, this is the point: while the normal, cool, "in" people are out drinking or going out to eat or doing something socially...well, you know...normal, we are here on Bungie.net having absolutely nothing to talk about so be talk about having nothing to talk about, ya know? This is what WE do, the Bungie Community, on Saturday nights. This is cool to us. This is our "place" to be.

I <3 all of you guys.
(Especially you, Underdog. You know A&M barely got away with that win over Tech. Haha)

Nope, this is fun.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

These pat each other on the back threads never get old.

Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

I'm not sure if I feel happy or sad after reading the OP.

I feel conflicted.

I don't see why you would glorify the reckless consumption of alcohol and slander the infinite medium of information by which you converse with thousands around the world instantly.

Just because you go out and do things does not mean you consume alcohol.

He specifically mentioned drinking in the OP. Forgive me for summarizing the Saturday social scene with "reckless consumption of alcohol", but what generalization did I confuse?

*Re-reads OP* I still don't like your statement because it feels like a generalization, but cannot come up with an arguement. You win this round.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

I just got back from a night of doing the normal kid stuff. Just because you're on Bungie.net doesn't mean you have no life.

In fact Bungie.net is my secret nerd indulgence. To the rest of the world I just another normal guy getting drunk on the weekends and taking your moms home form the bar.

Is there something wrong with the Mythic Members Chapter? It seems as though topics from there are leaking onto the Community forum.

-Dr. Carl Jung

Our former social lives won't matter once those socialites are slingshotted into the sun.

EDIT: That is not to imply I don't have a social life- I'm about to go out with a bunch of friends and have a jam session. :D

Controlling fission events without incident since May, 2012.

Don't: Avoid socialization like the plague for fear of turning into a spray-tanned, fist-pumping bro.
Don't: Spend time with alcoholics.
Do: Seek out new experiences, making decisions in line with your morals and ethics, and enjoy yourself.
Do: Meet people unlike yourself, and get to know them. Grow as a result, and forget the subconscious social anxieties that bother you daily.

The attitude being perpetuated here is the same one that leads to awkward, silent exchanges during everyday life, instead of an interesting exchange that brightens someone's day.

Perhaps some of you (myself included) experienced some level of social ostracism in school, but it's no reason to think that being on an internet forum makes you superior to those who leave the house and meet up with friends or acquaintances on a weekend. Draw your generalizations about teenagers and twenty-somethings on the weekends, but I assure you that I defy them on a regular basis, and am happier for it.

Pardon the rant-yness, but seen above is an attitude shared on boards across the internet, and it bothers me sorely.

I don't go out often, only with girlfriend wants and most of the times I got friends coming over or I go and have a pretty nice meeting at a friend's to hang out.
