That's overreacting I think, I mean she just wanted to mess with you, you didn't lose anything, she didn't win anything so why all this sadness?

Dear Aggie, dear Friends,

Tomorrow I am going to go to a job interview for a 6 month long *paid* internship at a local game company. Things have been looking good so far, and if they hire me for the 6 months, I will be one step closer to starting my career in the Video game industry.

Next year I am going to apply for Digital Media Studies which includes a focus on Game Design at a local college. I am so excited to have finally found an (affordable) school to make my dreams come true.

Please, keep your thumbs crossed for me. ^_^

How would you feel if people were playing with your feelings and deceiving you with lies? Especially if it's done by people you think you can trust, it is painful to realise that you misjudged someone so gravely.

You're a kind and generous person by nature Bullsie and she tried to take advantage of it. She probably hoped you'd give her money.
Good thing she was 'unmasked' (or how to put it) before you gave her anything.

Is it just me, or does anyone else keep accidentally reading "bullsie" as... er, something else?

(Sorry, bulldog; I sympathise, I really do.)

Well to start with, I hope everything works out well with that interview,good luck.

Now,I anyway hate people and one of the reasons why is this one too. The fact that they lie and deceive,it's in our nature of course and that's why I hate people's nature. I personally believe that we should all die. Now why am I saying this stuff? Well because if someone did that to me I would so want to kill them just see them in a coffin, that would make me smile...but there is always the law and the fact that since I am also human I would feel the guilt and the voice of consciousness...pfff (another thing I hate about human nature).
So therefore I would consider all of the above and I would reach the conclusion that I am wasting my precious energy on something that is useless so I would become apathetic about the whole matter as I usually do about everything and voila! problem solved!

Thanks you Jelena. I don’t trust people too often, b/c of things like this. I don’t like getting burned…… it makes me mad. But you are right, I’m glad I found out before it was too late and I think that you are right, I think she was going to ask for money.

If you believe all this, why do you waste your time on this forum? And why would we waste our time on you? I'm sorry Nafsika, but you made it to my Ignore list. I've had enough of you.

Nafsika's got a certain innocent charm that I can't put my finger on.

*hugs Bullsie* I'm sorry someone tried to take advantage of you, dearie. You are amazing, and we love you. I feel like I love people much more than they show back to me, so I kind of feel your pain.

I see what you mean, but it would be nice to see a post from her that actually adds something to the conversations here.

Wow my third post in a row here! I found an interesting scientific paper on interactive storytelling on BoingBoing, here. I think Squinky might like to take a look at it, and maybe other people too.
