Adama. Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 An affectation is an artifice used to draw attention to oneself through peculiarity. For example, the brackets that I like to use I started using because they were different from the more commonly used parentheses and brackets that I saw in many other posts. I then transferred them to my smilies, partially for the same reason, and partially because I like them. I also use my bracketed signature to maintain a certain formality within my posts. While I admit excessive affectations can be irritating, I have seen many of them on this site, and I am curious about what they mean to you and what they tell us about you as a person. ~{Adama} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Metal Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I guess this topic is about stuff that you do to make you stand out. So here is my XTRA kewl list of things that I do to make me look epicly awesome. I like to be able to flaunt about how I listen to better music than >>most<< (see how I used most instead of all? Pay attention kiddies!) of the people on the site. Nu-Metal? Linkin Park? Emos? HA! =P Using three dots...makes me look cool and nonchalant...So I use them whenever possible. I LIKE TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE I FELL ASPLEEP ON MY CAPS LOCK IF THE TOPIX IS "LULZXTRASERIOUSBUISNESS". This doesn't happen very often though. I'm nice to everyone! Even the people I can't stand. Give me a neg? Have a positive! Hate me? I love you! =D Using a *winkingsmilyface* is also cool ;) Makes me seem sexy ;) Catch my drift? ;) I also like to bash trends on the site. It's fun and it makes me look like an extra tuff badass rebel. I always try to get the upper hand on someone. Espcially if the topic is about religion. It makes "LOLATHEISTS" mad (i'm not against atheism, just the atheist who can't respect religions freedom). I use myself in third person if the topic is about "which member is the coolest/gayest/lamest". EX. "Death Metal is such a retard. He should go to hell." I support my buddys, even if the thing they are doing is really stupid.     Think that is about it. =/  Tell me if I forgot anything.
