“Overreacting” and “Being Bored at Work” are two titles of stuff I was planning to write. Since I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do that I’m going to write here a few notes for myself about the content of those two unwritten ‘articles’ (perhaps for an imminent future).

Basically “Overreacting” is me. “Being Bored at Work” is the community. The Lummies or Lummites are for example the “Being Bored at Work” category at its finest. I write this exactly to explain why I’m so Ab(alien)o to them, why they laugh at me and all the rest. The point is that I’m definitely Out Of Character, considering the Internet as a big roleplay. I don’t respect rules, or better, I’m Out Of Reality. I’m odd ab-normal like a Frankestein Jr. movie. Not integrated, Out Of Context, somewhat ridiculous, speaking an incomprehensible language. A stranger, a “WTF?!”. I’m outside, still I annoy with some sort of brag about a legitimation (Hey, I know these games better than everyone else).

So? So it’s simple. I have a quite common psychotic attitude. I focus too much on a few elements. Focusing too much brings naturally to give them (too much) a lot of relevance. You (I) take them too seriously. Because if that’s all you see, what you see is also important. From the other side this is also some sort of advantage because you develop an uncommon dedication and passion that is even too sincere (and so cannot be understood or shared with others, aside other fools). Perhaps you can be lucky and also develop something useful, a point of view that is valuable because not many others are able to keep staying so obsessed and survive. It has some sort of originality and competence, somewhere.

Now the point is that all of this is Out Of the Reality. It has no really concrete use and it’s also why it’s the origin of frustration. It’s an infinite path bringing nowhere and you can see that there’s no end, nor a progression. From the other side it’s Out Of Reality because even in the “community” it is an odd, absurd behaviour for the reasons I explained. So it becomes obvious that in this comminity it’s not important *what* you write. Because not everyone shares this somewhat sincere and dedicated obsession. Instead we have a group of “Being Bored at Work”. A place where the simple social aspect is more important. There is an identity in the group and this identity is about *how*, not *what*. It’s how you write, not what you write. It’s demagogy rather than learning. Popularity. Characters.

This are the messages boards. A virtual bar where peoples form ties. Not FOR the object but around the object and for themselves. While there’s an Ab(alien)o outside that instead is completely focused on the object, completely focused about *what*. I do not stop talking about *what*. And it’s the only dimension of my attention. I speak a foreign language. Speak about stuff noone sees. A fool!

This is why they often kick me out of the bar. I overreact. Out Of Place.

“What The Fuck are you doing here?”
