I really like having Arka around. She's very nice, she's very intelligent, and she really tries to give people a chance.
I really feel that we're very similar. I've even mentioned that to her. I find that a few people here are very hard to tolerate, but I think that we both try to grit out teeth and get over it.
Considering all the shit that she's taken from almost everybody here, over very small things, she deserves something more like a medal, over more bashing.
She does have a different sense of humor, but doesn't everybody? I'll disagree with anybody that sarcasm is hard to pick up over the internet. Maybe it's because part of what I want to do with my life involves tearing apart things that are written to interpret meaning, but really, come on! If you don't understand it, and it's not directed straight at you, back off and laugh about it. You demand that she takes a joke, but then none of you do it yourselves.
I've talked to her a bit about what's gone on around here. The world just likes to dump on certain people for certain reasons. One reason I personally get defensive about what Casey says about me is because it's hard for me to like my own body, and I think it's incredibly rude for people to bring up things that hurt others. She's had some bad things happen to her, and she has lines she doesn't want people to cross. So, you know, when she says to stop talking about something, maybe people could stop. Some things, while said in jest, can be taken as hurtful or threatening.
I would really like her to come back.
