Gotta say man. I've seen you around and tried to be nice, supported you a little, said I wanted to read your MW2 fanfic, felt sorry for you when you said your life is sad and lonely and you just sit at home playing videogames and getting high.

But you're also a fucking dick sometimes. I don't feel so sorry for you anymore. And I no longer want to read your stories. (I originally thought they were stories involving modern warfare... not Modern Warfare as in Call of Duty Modern Warfare).

When I see you stop trying to seem so cool, putting down other anons, (just like what happened to you and made you baww) claiming to be "alpha as fuck", maybe I'll read your little Call of Duty Fanfiction. Maybe.
