Help a new guy out

[bhangrabob 0]

Hiya.

I'm a self-loathing Muslim immigrant USC from Indonesia whose VJ profile/posts need a little jazzing up.

I'm so low tech that my avatar is about as creative as I'm able to get on my own (it's actually an embarrassingly good likeness of me), but I want to fit in with the crowd and do some decorating so my posts take up ten times their actual length with flags and tickers and profound quotations since my timeline is pathetically under-endowed. After laughing my butt off at posts in this forum for many a long night without my equally self-loathing Australian wife (she's not Muslim, she just has issues), I decided that maybe the best way to go about this would be to take suggestions from my VJ peers.

I am seated comfortably in my teflon garbage can, so I will feel no pain.

If it helps you find your muse, you may ask me questions.

Peace, in the English I mastered because it's my responsibility as a US-dweller to do so.

Bob

because newbies are not given the benifit of the doubt around here... they are just automatically considered trolls

His other threads make him look like a very kind and helpful sort of troll. Is that possible?

Oh I'm glad he has other threads because I really instinctively liked him when I read the post. Even though I have giant flags on my signature!

Jeez, I guess I'll have to settle for "likeable troll" then.

It's just murder trying to break into the social scene around here. I just posted here in off-topic because after reading pages and pages of people's problems (depressing) and approval announcements (sometimes even more depressing at my stage in the game), I just wanted to say something stupid. Ha! Apparently I succeeded.

The really tempting threads in this area aren't really very safe for a newbie, and I have nothing to say about the dead poochgoblin in Maine. But hi, everybody. Your discussions here have been very entertaining, and I really do want to know how you get all that cool stuff on your posts. These days it's embarrassing to admit if you aren't very internet savvy, especially if you're Asian!

Peace,

Bob

I'll tell you one thing - the trick to being liked by everyone is to NOT EVER reveal your political/religious stance.

No kidding. So far we all like you! Say something controversial please.

There are some people here who would scare the ####### out of me if I weren't sure they wouldn't have so much nerve face-to-face.

But it's interesting to read it all, if you can suspend judgement and appreciate the humorous parts even when you're the butt of the joke.

I'm not saying I can always do that, but I almost compulsively expose myself to the test. I wasn't kidding when I said I'm a self-loathing Muslim!

I think I'll ride this wave a while longer until I figure out who I genuinely want to piss off.

(or read: I can't think of anything because I'm really just a wussy little muppet guy)
