Mibba Secrets and Habits

Every time I see the Do You Talk in Your Sleep? thread, I get Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division stuck in my head because of the line Do you cry out in your sleep?

And for the longest time the …All the Pretty Themes on a Saturday Night! got 10.15 Saturday Night by the Cure stuck in my head until Mina told me it's supposed to be lyrics from that FUN song or something of that nature.

i always manage to fuck up my blog title and it gets like this warning and it makes me feel like im a terrible person

Chances are, if you've posted in the "What are you eating / drinking?" or "What are you wearing right now?" threads, I somehow think that we could either hang out or not because some of you are waaaay too fashionable or super foodies and it's intimidation factor to the nth degree.

kitsch:

And I am neither of these so you can ignore me entirely.

I furiously click between blogs and forums even when I know there are no new posts.
I do about a thousand surveys a month.
Only one person here knows my given name.

I sometimes friend people because their usernames and avatars are da bomb.

I subscribe to lots of stories that sound interesting but I almost never read any of them because I'm lazy.

I don't submit entries for most contests I enter because I run out of time or just forget all together.

I stalk the members section like crazy to make sure a certain someone doesn't come back again and cause issues for me.

I read each and every one of the blog posts - even if I don't know what they are talking about (for example, if they are talking about a fandom I am not familiar with). I dunno.. It's interesting to read about other people's lives.

I check constantly to see if I have gained subscribers on stories.

I stalk my favorite people on here and sadly wish that I was their friend.

I read a lot of stories / poems / blogs without commenting because I feel like I may say something to hurt their feelings. (I am working on this one...)

I tend to go all over the place, really. MOst days I'll stick to the blogs but when I find that the blog sections is being slow, I'll jump to the forums and when I get bored with the forums, I jump to the story section to see if I can find an interesting story to promote.

Whenever I figure out the title for a story of mine, I always search for other stories with that title. I want to make sure I don't have a copy title + if it turns out someone else has used that title, I see what they did with the story and base my decision to use the title or not off of that just in case we came up with a similar idea, yeah?

I'm a newbie, so I don't know a lot about the site right now.

I do the same exact thing with the blog titles. After I screw one up, for a few days afterwards everytime I get an alert I feel like I'm in trouble.

I also like 'creepin in the RP, group writes, and the sig request three. It's entertaining :3

I also have a bad habit of posting on as many threads in the 'General' section as possible

I only ever check how many subscribers/readers I have on a story like once or twice throughout its run. I can't do it too often or else it zonks me out and either discourages me, or makes me think I have to keep living up to whatever number I have, if that makes sense.

I tend to open messages / alerts on my phone in the morning, fully meaning to reply to them later but sometimes I just forget and end up not replying to friends on here for like a month straight.

I also leave my inbox messy for months and then do a mass clear-out of PMs every so often. This usually fails as the site decides to not let me delete PMs

I only ever read blogs by people I know/see around all the time unless the title is something super interesting.

I always look at the word count of a story first and if it has more than few thousand words it takes me forever to start reading it.

I have to check my alerts as soon as I see them.

I'm always a little paranoid that people think I'm rude because it takes me forever to respond to my messages and comments. I'm usually on Mibba from my phone when I'm at work, and it's beyond frustrating for me to try to flip back and forth and type out a reply on my phone

THIS IS ME. I'm not at work, but I am nine times out of ten on mobile when I'm on Mibba because the computer is shared between three people. Everytime I attempt going back and forth, the previous page refreshes, and my messages are so agonizingly slow on my phone and it's just agh. And I'm always afraid people think I'm an utter jackass because I'll rec something or try to leave a comment while on my phone (usually for a shorter piece of work, since I don't have to continuously go back to the page I just read) and they can see it and they're like, "Oh, she can do that, but she can't respond to me, okay." I'M SORRY I LOVE YOU GUYS.

I forever creep in the Contests and Challenges forum.

I tend to hang out in the blog section but I generally lurk through the stories, silently lurking and reading there. XD

Ugh, me too I have such a contest addiction that it's not even funny

I feel like I'm the only weirdo who doesn't creep on other people on here
The closest thing I do to creeping would be that, if I notice that someone has similar taste in music to me and they post about a song/band I'm not familiar with in one of the game threads, I'll totally go check it out because, nine times outta ten, it's probably something I'd be into as well

Sometimes I go and stare at people's story pages in jealousy and admiration that they write so much more than me.
