Sorry to go off topic. I am glad you found your dream. On a side note:
Maybe now you understand why qruthie was so upset last week when you made her cry so much that she took off her dream ears and shirt?
"Is it really that difficult to watch another person win and just say, "Congrats!" without stomping all over their win?" ~ Things might have gone better last week if you had done this yourself.
Back on topic: anybody seen a host tonight?
So many people have brought this post and this thread to my attention that I feel I must respond in order to stop the
DELUGE of in game attempts to discuss what happened.
Thank you to everyone who has sent good wishes and messages of support. It does make me feel good to know I still have so many friends here!
I will not post or discuss the details of what happened. However, Fly did witness the incident and I feel her post accurately reflects how I feel about what happened.
I received my ears under the most special circumstances. Fly, who has never won any sort of VMK award, opened her beautiful Mad Hatter's Garden Party room as usual. A group of our dearest friends was with us when Host Phinny appeared at the door and then gave us the blue dreams ears. It couldn't have been any better - I got to see Fly get blue ears (blue IS her favorite color!), in her own room with so many friends! I was in tears of joy! Yes, it's just a game but sometimes even a game and a few colored pixels can make you feel joy.
I was still riding that emotional high the next day until my ears became tarnished. I was told, "Congrats!" for getting my ears. However I then sat through a litany of complaints about the Dreams program - thus my dream was stomped on. I tried to be understanding but my comments were dismissed because I already had my ears. The entire incident left me feeling that by wearing my ears I was making others feel bad. After leaving the computer multiple times for anger management reasons, I decided to take off my ears. After more comments, I took off my dreams shirt. I don't want to hurt anyone by wearing my ears or shirt. I am an extremely sensitive person and I don't seem to be able to change that. I can't begin to describe the depth of my hurt or anger that day. This incident is not resolved and it won't be, however, I am trying to put it behind me and continue forward. I have been wearing the ears again despite the tarnish.
Yes, things would have been much different if the comments had ENDED at, "Congrats!".
For the record, I do think the Dreams program could have been rolled out better with more information, however, I absolutely love the randomness of the awards. If any of you have issues with random, please don't take it out on me. It's ok if you don't like random but please allow me to love it. This may be my favorite month ever! (No, I don't have the room or the pins and I'll be just fine if I don't get them.)
I hope everyone gets Dreams items and finds a way to enjoy this month. I'm sending pixie dust to anyone who hasn't received something yet!
I can't believe people actually treated you like that. So what, are people going to be ridiculed for having Inferno next so that the Inferno owners feel it's neccessary to take them off, too? It's hard for me to understand how people could make someone feel bad just because they were lucky and fortunate
