I've been thinking lately, just how grateful I am for OGLC.

There was a guy, about a week or so ago on Yahoo, literally BEGGING me to get naked for him... said if I did he would "do the right thing" and come from NY to see me.. and take me out to dinner. I was completely uncomfortable even just sitting on cam. I was completely covered, and I felt like he was tearing my clothes off with his eyes. I had to do what a smart person would do, which is end communication. I deleted and put him on my ignore list. Haven't talked to him since. 

The last time I felt like that, was probably months ago on a different chat site.. usachat. The people there were definitely the type to rip a person apart for even the smallest of things. Hell, my second day there it was my "initiation" to flash whoever was watching. The conversation I had on Yahoo definitely put things in perspective for me. 

OGLC really IS the place to be. Aside from close friends, outside of the chatroom, this is the only place I truly feel comfortable being on cam, and not have to worry about someone hitting on my insecurities. A place where I don't have to worry about being begged, or made to feel like a piece of trash if I don't do something that another wants me to. As many doubts as I had the first night I came here, they faded fast. 

You guys really are my second family. My second life-line. A home where I look forward to going. The amount of trust and respect that goes around, is amazing. I don't have to be fake, or hide anything. In every other place I've been to, I've always had to hide something, because of opinions. Not here.

I have no regrets of joining. I'm glad, and grateful for the moderator position I was given in May. I've taken it seriously since the night I got it. I might not always be in the lobby, but I'm always keeping an eye on things. 

For the new members, or people who haven't been around in a while: I urge you to stay, or come back on a regular basis. You won't be disappointed. This place, truly is, the place to be. OGLC <3

Keep it Wicked!

Ok.. so there's been a lot happening on site (and off) that needs to be addressed... and me being the person I am... I need to handle it. Lately, there's been more and more drama being plastered in the lobby, or being said on social network sites. Granted, we all have our rights to talk about things. HOWEVER, when it affects the chatting of our members, and takes a toll on the room vibe, there has to be something done. Yes, we all have problems, we all have something that we'd probably love to get off our chests. But it doesn't have to be shoved down everyone else's throat or painted up like a billboard.

Seriously. It's creating unnecessary bullshit that myself, the other mods, and the admins have to clean up. We have all talked about this at some point or another amongst ourselves, and the members who witnessed an act of the childish behavior. EVERYONE is in agreement that it's an annoyance. Whether it's about life, or a relationship, or a problem with another chatter, not everyone needs to know. IF there is something going on, you can go to a mod, or an admin, or a trusted friend. We (mods and admins) are here for anyone that needs us, but we can't do our job properly if we aren't given the chance. 

I, myself have been going through a multitude of things since I joined the site. But I have respected myself, the people involved, and the other members by keeping it OUT of the public eye. Do I write blogs every now and then? Yes. But I'm not doing it for pity, or attention, or just to start a big riot. I write my periodical blogs for my own sense of release. 

With this said, keep the personal things PERSONAL, and lets get back to the fun, shall we?
