OS PROM QUEEN
ME, being all serious. This icon will appear now to let y'all know you need to pay attention!Lately there's been a lot of flouncing around going on here. There's also been a lot of talk about "cool kids" and "big kids' table". There's been all kinds of posts about "he super hurt my feelings," "she didn't acknowledge me," "he erased my brilliant comment," "I'm writing this blog about how much you're a poopy head," "If you think I'm a poopy head, rate me," "OMG, I just looked at his old blog posts and he really is a poopy head!" Makes me wonder if all of you apes might just need some cookies and a nice nap.
Now I know that I might have a leg up on this (which is amazing since my legs don't bend and yours do) because I've read half of The Secret, 
but I've realized that we all have the capablity of making this place what we want it to be.
but I've realized that we all have the capablity of making this place what we want it to be. If you want this to be a place where people give you honest feedback about your writing, then tell people this, but don't expect that everyone wants this. If you want this place to be somewhere you can just chat and blow off steam, then just say this, but don't expect that everybody wants this. If you want your comment acknowledged when you comment, then tell people this, but don't expect that everybody wants this. If you want a rough and tumble conversation about serious issues, then let people know that, but don't expect that everybody wants this. If you're going to run your blog and only let comments stay that you like within a set of your rules, then tell people that, but don't expect that everybody wants this. If you want this place to be all about wonderful posts written about me (use pictures), then just say that (I do.), but expect everybody to want this.
But all this expecting people to write, comment, act, post topics, read your stuff and say just what you want them to say, getting on the cover, how dare they always get on the cover, people are writing about too goofy of stuff, people are wasting my time, I hate to get mails, I like the mails, how dare these people mail me, how dare people say that I shouldn't mail them, I'm underappreciated, they're over appreciated, just why the hell isn't Freaky Troll on the cover everyday, I don't know why she's not, in a perfect world she would be, I think we should lead a huge campaign to get her her own front page every day -- well all of this muttering probably isn't going to make anything change (though it's flattering and all).
When I first started, OS didn't look or feel like I wanted it to either. I made the decision that I would remodel and just make it look the way I expected it to. I started with this page. I made my own Freaky Salon. It's worked out great!
Thanks to The Secret I realized that I didn't have to wait for an editor to decide to make a pick, I could just make my own! And I can tell you, I make excellent picks!
Right now I'm working on making my own front pages:
So, as you can see, I'm not waiting around for other people to make this place what I want it to be. I'm just doing it myself. 
Y'all can do that too.
That's the end of my preaching (for right now). So as a big reward for you reading all of this, you can look at my foothole.

Also, I like your glasses. Green looks good on you.
That foot hole got me all hot 'n bothered.

Not in that Stephen King kind of way. . .
Ora pro nobis, oh wise troll.
See why I call you our Goddess? So self evident.
You call us back to sanity. And, of course, your own radient self.
Expectations are a bitch. Cultivating friends, virtual or real, is easy.
Take your pick.
I love the nude prom queen look!
Freaky, written with your usual style, grace, aplumb, and humor. Just not enough cake.
I think you are awesome. And I feel much better. I grumped out of here this afternoon like "big bunch of buttholes, calling single mothers Erma Bombeck wannabes, claiming if you make friends you're starting a clique, what the hell aren't you commenting on, reading my, appreciating my wonderfulness" poo-heads" and now all I can think about is how wonderful your foot hole is.
Well, that and Zerry making your post the most wonderfullest pick ever.
yap yap yap
How's that for an honest comment?
I'm always up for cookies & a nap.
or cookies without a nap.
WOOF
Persephone13 - I want to borrow your lips.
Scruffus - for the longest time I thought your avatar was a monkey, which is really weird, I know.
gracielou - where I'm from we just called it plum stupid, although I'm not sure if that should be plumb stupid. The ape can't do plumbing, so she's plum plumb stupid.
JK Brady - have you Bunched up yet?
Harry Homeless - when did you turn all green? I like that!
Chicago Guy - you dirty bird (don't tell Scruffus monkey)
jane smithie - still appreciate that you don't maul my hair
Boanerges1 - is there a Boanerges2?
Juliet Waters - you need a ShamWOW
o'stephanie - I've been thinking about trying out o'freaky and becoming one of your sisters
Americain - I want to know how you say Canadian
CoyoteOldStyle - I want all of your mail
pretend_farmer - when are you just gonna come out with the truth about your troll relationship?
Karin Rego - you can call yourself a trollist
voicegal - do you do karaoke?
odetteroulette - red 39
Sally Swift - you have real troll potential, I might be up for another makeover
Brian B - reality is overrated
hyblaean - everytime I see your face, I want to pinch your cheeks off
Caveat Canem Croceum - another shout out to the non-hair mauling set
sierrasong - it's so good to see you out and about, bang your head
I have been MORE than half-tempted to start a post that Indexes all of the flounces and whines, but that would just be wrong.
Wouldn't it?
Donna Sandstrom - your kitties are so sweet!
Rob St. Amant - Rob has a St. in the middle of his name Pam and Juli. Y'all might think about that.
Verbal Remedy - I'm thinkin' it really would be a most perfect thing. Get Greg to do it.
Do you have a date yet for the prom? I could wear the powder blue tux that I wore to the Junior Prom in 1966. Tres chic in a retro sorta way. Please don't break my heart.
m. a.h - if I said that, I'd run out of stuff to talk about over and over and over
Catamitebastard - y'all notice how quick he was to tell us he wasn't a sandwich topping? He's so totally a sandwich topping.
Mrs. Michaels - it's a little somethin' somethin' from the o'stephanie nudist collection
Lisa Kern - you might have to squish yourself up and dye your hair.
You did a damn fine job of stating what I feel as well. I do truly feel bad if some feel slighted on here but this is such a rapidly growing community that some are bound to get lost in the shuffle. I realized quickly that I had to make of it what I wanted because there was absolutely no reason to let OS get me down. And no reason for me to get anyone else down either.
Maybe I can knit you a cake-shaped hat or something!

Very well put, thanks.
Like, see, right now, I'm clapping for this post in my head, but have no visual way of conveying that to you, Freakilicious. And telling you this in writing just seems so......dull.
Nevertheless, I shall continue to mentally applaud you, cuz, ya know, you deserve it. Than I shall also mentally make you a nice cake. :D
And, Freaky - you are WORKING that gown on the Freaky cover.
odetteroulette - I'm hoping that it will be gold
katina choovanski - I love saying your name! Cat-tina-cho-van-ski!
Just Pamela - y'all fight among yourselves, I call dibs on The Hoff
grif82600 - you went all old school butt on me, you cutie
Allie Griffith - you can be in the court
dynomyte - I think it's still being detailed
Bees Tone - we should all cherish you, all those bees missing, we're lucky you're here
Lea Lane - I love your name, it's so Murder She Wrote, or porny, either way, it's great
artsfish - I love your eyeballs. You always look so surprised, it makes me happy
I have an Inner Freaky Front Page going on at all times.
(How long are you gonna be able to keep this up???
If your fingers could bend, maybe they'd cramp. Perhaps
one of your "people" should take over comment responding
duties)
MoniqueC - I always wondered if you were related to the Compound D people
Susanne Freeborn - did they find his colon? They're still looking for mine.
DakiniDancer - you know how it is, you have to constantly supervise the apes are they just fling poo at each other
Moana - it's never to late! OOoOooOoooo
So instead Woof, woof! Two paws up!
Julie Tarp - you do a great service protecting bbqs and boats that people buy and don't use
sciencechick - better living through chemistry
OEsheepdog - it's nice having a blogging dog worry about my mental state (don't maul my hair)
I bow down and worship your genius, Freaky. Holy crap, this was funny!
Thanks FT
Adore your gown ... far better choice than Michelle's.
Man, did we need THAT!
