I agree. My advice for those who don't like it is simply this:

don't read it.

Yes! Please finish, I'm dying to know what happens!!

"mean girls" do not intimidate me...
syd and i both live and work in what was once definitely a "man's world." when a man does a good job... he is just great, super. but the double standard is that when a woman does a great job... those very same men think that she is a total bitch. sad indictment for 2007... but even worse, it is true. well ladies, syd and i are really great at what we do... believe me we are both driven to succeed. and no... we do not work with or for our father. our lives certainly do not have a pretend, made up "story book ending." our father was killed in an awful accident while we were still in college and that changed our lives forever. there is not a single day that we both do miss him, he will always live on in our hearts. our mother has never been the same... nor have we. but life goes on... and you deal with it.

and speaking of dealing with things... we have both dealt with "girls" like the "snark queens" forever... and so have most of you. they do not deter me nor do they intimidate me. honestly... the tend to clique together and really get tacky and mean because they are really very, very insecure. look at them... their little groups and how they all follow each other. sadly, they are a dime a dozen... all of you know that because sadly you have had to put up with girls like that your entire lives... because some of them never grow up. they love to criticize everyone (and each other behind their backs)... but they really know deep inside that everyone intensely dislikes them and dismisses them.

cheers!

I'm truly sorry for your loss.

I sincerly hope you finish your story-- if you don't do it here on the boards can you at least PM me the ending?

blackngoldengrl · #**172** 07-09-2007, 08:39 PM

Sooooo what's going on? Are you posting or just ranting about people who are calling you out on the possibility of fiction in your recruitment story?

I was thinking the exact same phrase but I couldn't figure it out.
I do not have a job so I am not on any company time but my own. My new job is sales and I work when I want and if I want but I haven't started yet so it wouldn't matter anyway. But I agree with you on that and was wondering the same thing.

I too am very sorry for your loss. I do not know what it is like to lose a parents, but I do know what it was like to lose a sibling. My step-sister who I was very close with and older than me by many years died when I was 9 in a car accident. You never get over the trauma of losing a loved one, but with time it does get a little better.

OP, I think you may have just thrown down the gauntlet in what might become a long digression, but I want to say this: you really should take a look at any book from the Sweet Valley High series. I think that you would completely understand a lot of what was said about the thread.

Katmandu · #**175** 07-09-2007, 09:05 PM

I am truly sorry if your father died tragically in an awful accident. Losing a parent at a young age is an extremely difficult and wrenching event.

Speaking only for myself, I am not jealous or "snarky" because you are beautiful or successful or a perfect, classy, elegant, socially prominent, petite and intelligent lady who had a perfect rush in pink sequins.

It's just that I am old enough to know that the truly perfect, beautiful, successful and classy ladies really have no need to beat people over the head about it. "Mean girls" are the ones who do that.

Do go on Sheherezad. True or not, we are obviously hooked...

you are abolutely correct! however i just really do not care... let them do and say what they want. sadly, i probably stooped to their level... and i do not do that, i generally avoid that at all costs. but what i said about them is true.

i admit that i was initially shocked... who on earth would try to make up a recruitment thread? i just told about our lives. but one has to remember... that what i have written is our lives and who we are and how we were raised. i cannot change the fact i was a twin, i had nothing to do with that. i cannot nor would i ever have changed my parents... i was blessed, but i had nothing to do with that. and we are all products of our environment. yes, i totally agree and have never hidden the fact that we had a great deal of privilege... but with privilege comes responsibilities. i am certainly not ignorant... and i contemplated that post for quite some time. i am not really trying to pick a fight... or be antagonistic, that is really not me. but... when they accused me of lying and were laughing about it and making all kinds of inappropriate comments... i finally decided enough was enough. i have received countless wonderful pms... the real ladies on gc know them and know what they are like. with the good comes the bad... that is life. i really do not seek strife in my life... i deal with it enough professionally. but i decided to finally stand up for myself. i also knew i that i wanted to say something that i have noticed and thought about for a long time. it is true... and most everyone who is still left of gc know it. what happens, happens. they know the "ignore feautre"... they certainly lecture new people about it enough. like i said... i knew exactly what i was doing. but i am not a "mean girl"... just honest.

i honestly do not know anything about these "fictional twins"... i think my generation missed that. however, i personally cannot think of anything worse to read. i am sorry... but that does interest me in the slightest... especially if it is "supposed" to be something like our real lives. our lives are not a fictional story book... i have no interest in anything like that. however... i do thank you and appreciate your kind suggestion, but that just isn't who i am.

cheers!

There have dozens of perps here on GC that have faked recruitment threads or faked being a member for a long time before being ousted.

UGAalum94 · #**178** 07-09-2007, 09:19 PM

Oh, I can't imagine any adult person actually enjoying them or getting anything out of the books, but you would see the similarities in your personal recruitment story and the series and perhaps understand why what may to you seem simply the retelling of your own experience struck others as fictional.

It's happened more than once.You would be surprised at what ridiculous lengths people go to to gain the attention of perfect strangers on the internet. Those of us who have been around on this site for awhile have seen it all. Thats why people wonder.

I have to admit I also wondered JITY.

now reversing what you just posted... were those comments really appropriate? you are an obviously highly educated and very intelligent lady... your posts are very well written and well composed. but those are the statements of a "mean girl"... and you just said it. i have no argument with you... but you most certainly do not know everything... and you have just "presumed"... remember, reality can be quite different.

"if my father died"... that really is cruel.

and to everyone reading this... i have never, ever said i had a "perfect rush"... you will understand just as i found out... all too soon... how truly odd recruitment can be.

cheers!
