Do I care about art here? No. Do I care about friends here, yes. Been waiting for a world post from you for some time. >>
I am just a world reader and comment on the world posts that deal with life or what have you. I care about my friends and that is all I mostly do here. Post world updates and read world posts...
Oh and I lurk in chat.
Six-year-olds and nuclear weapons: a combination that just can't be beat.
I do agree a bit... I tend to think no one likes your art on theO unless its fanart, or really amazing digital art. (was gonna make a comic about that predicament. Thanks for reading my mind Twili.)
And I am guilty of not commenting... because I'm just too lazy, and I write too much and that makes some people angry. ><
thank you fishy. and i love TheO much more then i do any other site. even though face book is people i know in real life the people on TheO are so much nicer to randome strangers!
and btw i take back the never having a good day on theO. after i posted this i went to the chat room and ranted. met great people who a few went and looked at my portfolio. i came out of it with 9 new comments. so i love you all!
I can see what you're getting at, but I don't think theO is as bad as the other sites you mentioned. I for one, do comment on things. Like your Rocket comic. (Infact, do I ever stop commenting on it?) And whatever you do, DO NOT DISCONTINUE IT!!! I LOVE IT! Also, I don't just like something because everyone else does. And yes, people who do cn get annoying. (By the way, I know this isn't aimed at anyone in particular, but I'm just proving my innocence...sort of. If you get what I mean.) I'm more liking to see pictures of my favourite animes than anything else, but I also like to browse all the art of the day, and I may hug/fave/comment realism art, or a really good picture from something I've never seen before.
I don't have a facebook, Mypace, or Gaia (well, truthfully I do, because one day my friend made it for me, but I have never once used it, infact, I don't even know what my user name and password is.) People don't need to know everything in my life. I also like theO more than DA. (Wow, my comment's turned into a rant!) DA hasw lots of poeple, including lots of professional artists/writers. Many (Okay, more like a few) of these professoinals flame ammature artist/writers because they aren't as good as they are, and that's alot different to constructive critism. As for poeple who are depressed and sad and need help and stuff, when I come across stuff like that I normally just skim over it and then comment saying something like "It's okay we love you here *hugs*" but I don't think the internet is a very appropriate place for that kind of thing.
It's weird, I haven't done anything wrong, but I'm ranting on like I have...
As for the addictive part, I must agree with you, but all you need is will power. I go on theO everyday (I really have no life, but I had no life before I found this site) and this is the third day in a row I've logged on to no new comments. You want to have a new comment but it doesn't come, so instead of just refreshing the page every 10 seconds, why not get up and walk around your house? Get some fresh air something like that. By the time you come you may have a new comment, or you may not want to come back at all. (And now I'm giving out advice? I'm weird.)
The fact that you are over weight (that's if you actually are, you may just think that due to how the world is today with skinny modles and fake diets etc.) and getting bad grades may not be the internets fault, but just because you're lazy. (Like me!) I don't get enough sleep either, but that happens even if I haven't gone on the computer in a week, I just don't get to sleep at night.
The fact that "there's always something that puts a bad taste in my mouth" may just be because you're looking for something bad. If you go in with a posotive attitude and keep it that way, nothing will bother you at all. (And that I mean, nothing will bother you at all, except for your family who always seem to do something that annoys, but they don't count because they don't live in the land of the internet.)
Also, I don't believe you when you haven't had a single good day. When people are in a bad mood, they only concentrate on bad things, and therefore the good things often go ignored. I don't think I've ever had a bad day here on theO. I aways log off smiling. When you log off, instead of thinking about all the bad things that happened, write a list of everything good that happened. You could even do this for your life away from the computer. If you do I can guarantee that you will become a happier person, even if you are happy now.
Over all, I agree with you with some things, but disagree with others, and at sometimes I'm just reading what you say and thinking to myself "I'm not like that, not one bit." If you are feeling annoyed all the time, (which I don't know if you are. I'm guessing you're not, but just in case) perhaps you should seek help from your parents, a real friend from the real world, or a counselor. There are many evil people on the interenet, so if you're feelign down it is probably the last place you want to go for help.

Woah. My comment is longer than your post.
