You have friends! I hate group photos, even if the poster points herself out. Cropping is a beautiful thing.<br />dcboy | 05.13.04 - 1:51 pm | #<br /> <br />Spelling and grammar mistakes are my biggest pet peeves. This is your first impression, y'all -- if you can't be bothered to proofread, I can't be bothered to read or write back. (This goes for first e-mails, too.) Runner-up pet peeve: a toss-up between, "I only have 500 characters to tell you about myself. Where should I start?" and "They want at least 200 characters, so I'm just trying to fill up space."<br />M. | 05.13.04 - 10:46 pm | #<br /> <br />I apologize to the proprietor of this blog (you should give yourself a name, BTW) and anyone else who misunderstood my post. I didn’t mean to imply that I’m surprised she has friends (or readers). I meant to convey how I feel, sarcastically, when I encounter a group pic in a profile. So, how about this pet peeve -- silly jokes that are hard to understand in writing <br />dcboy | 05.14.04 - 4:46 pm | #<br /> <br />DCBoy...no worries. We're all cool here. The reason I don't have my name up here prominently is because this isn't supposed to be about me; it's about the group...<br /><br />But if there's a need, I'll reveal myself as the great and powerful wizard...<br /><br />I think we can all agree that "jokes that require tone to be understood properly" do not translate well over the email...<br />Esther | Email | Homepage | 05.14.04 - 5:16 pm | #<br /> <br />I'm gonna ask one of those chicks out on a date that *requires* a little black dress and jeans.<br />avialan | 05.24.04 - 2:25 am | #<br /> <br />and a couple of my own special do's & don'ts.<br /><br />Do write about yourself, your life, your views. It's all good. Don't write about writing a profile. Yawn. Down with meta-writing!!<br /><br />Positive energy rules. Do tell me what you do want. Don't tell me what you don't want. Fear not, I know how to do the math. I skip profiles full of negs. (counterargument, i suppose a lot of people don't know how to do the math...)<br /><br />re: photos. cropping's good, but how cheesy is it when outline of ex-boyfriend can still be made out?<br /><br />Esther, thanks for creating this site.<br />avialan | 05.24.04 - 2:48 am |Esther Kustanowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598539253079410648noreply@blogger.com
