I wanted to be an X-Man. I still turn on the microwave and press my face up against it an hour each night in the hopes I can develop psychic powers.

When I was growing up in the early nineties, I stumbled across a bulletin board where everyone hated each other and used words like n00b, troll, and of course, FAG. It looked like the entire board was filled with angry kids with Tourette's.

I knew then I wanted to spend my days writing inflammatory remarks that I would never dare say in real life. I reached a dead end in my career as a message board poster until 2006, when the LOLcat craze started. I can now look back with pride as I use my time and energy using 4chan images and insulting people through the internet on a daily basis.

The best part of this career is that I can be anybody I want! I can say that since I live in one of the wealthiest counties in the country, that MUST mean I am rich! I can be a consultant, an independent business owner, I can say anything and people will believe me!

Boy this internet thing is awesome, and I look forward to the years to come.

I wanted to be a computer analyst until I took some courses and realized, "fuck this shit!" Always pick what makes you happy over what you anticipate will make you a lot of money. In the end, you may end up with both.

Or, you can actually do it and have envious people spend their days trying to convince themselves that you didn't.

Yes, because wealthy people spend their days writing about how much money they make and how people on the internet are just envious. That's how Warren Buffett and the Mars Family made their money, by writing about and saying "You're just jealous!"

I've always been big into space exploration but was to stupid and too poor to to actually be a rocket scientist.

Now, looking back, I should have tried harder. I kick myself every time I hear about something cool happening in space and I regret this everyday.

I still spend a lot of time reading and studying cosmology, but I'm too fuckin old to make any use of it now.

I totally wanted to be Spiderman when I was a kid. Then as I got older I wanted to be a meteorologist and chase tornadoes. In the end, I'm as far away from those as you could possibly get, but I'm content to waste my days on this board.

Yes. I am an Amway Diamond distributor. I have a yacht and I fuck super models.

Seriously, your obsession/stalking of the folks on this forum is getting a little old. I know you are a loser, but do you need to repeat that fact so often?

The only folks who are rich are the ones who got in on the ground floor back in the 50s or 60s. All those multi-level marketing things are like that.

Wrong person/people. I'm just pointing out that people can be anything they want on the internet. This isn't the only forum I have seen where someone claims to be a high powered executive or self made businessman.
It really is a stock character on the internet. If you get offended by that, so be it.

I've never said I was a high powered executive and pulling down six figures hardly makes me a "self-made businessman." I guess I should be happy that my real life is so good that it can't possibly be real, at least in your mind.

I didn't know you were pulling six figures. Why do you feel the need to say that? Are the details of your wealth supposed to impress me?

Like I give a rat's ass if you are impressed. If you are going to go around and say that I am claiming that I am rich or "self-made," I have the right to correct you.

Sorry that I turned your thread into a little flame war, but listen.

Anybody secure in their knowledge of their success doesn't get so defensive when some anonymous person declines to believe them. As I said, there is at least one "rich person" on every forum out there. The fact that you need to say you make six figures speaks volumes. I'm done talking to the "rich person" stock character.

Anyone who is secure doesn't need to obsess about someone else's success.

Note the word "success."

SUBJECT: Best Sandwich EVAR!!!11
Mood: bouncy :)

Dear Fairfax Underground,

Today, I ate a delicious sandwich. It was made of bread, meat, and cheese. I really enjoyed eating it. Someone asked if they could have a bite of my sandwich, and I was like, "STFU, LOL, get ur own sandwich." Then they said mean things about me. The world does not understand my pain.

I LOVE MY GF SOOOOOOOOO MUCH. We've been going out for 2 weeks now, and I AM SOOOOOOO IN LOVE. Baby, you're wonderful, and I LOOOOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOOOOU!!!!11

Skittles did something adorable today, and I took a picture of it. Don't I have the cutest cat in the world?

Thank you for telling me what I mean and don't mean. I'm just saying the amount of times you comment on some fat fuck that BLOGS all over the internet, you seem a little pre-occupied over him. Since you keep commenting on Meade, you must be visiting HIS BLOG. No one else on this site comments on Meade as much as you.

I didn't call FFXU a blog, I was referring to Wash reading over Meade's blog.

Did you learn English as a second language? You seem to have serious comprehension issues.

This thread's title sounds like one of those juvenile surveys off of some Livejournal or Myspace page. Is the OP in middle school?

I wanted to be an elementary school teacher, an astronaut, a veterinarian, and, of course, an actress.

Instead, I look at numbers all day. *snort*

Finance is hot. ;o)

That's the truth! I was selling Usborne books for a while and didn't make squat. I guess some people can do decently, but you have to be an aggressive sales person and only sell products as your full time job. Even then, no one's getting rich. The market get too saturated with "independent consultants" so no one does exceptionally well.
