Non-News Anti-Socialite Declares: No Video for Me, Please!

We would unite, but at separate tables. It makes splitting checks unnecessary, and conversation a choice. :)

I suppose that means you aren't interested in my video of my neighbors cats doing the wild thing

I haven't decided how I feel yet. I don't plan on making a video anytime soon. I don't know if my camera even has video, and I'm not digging out the old video cam. I can't imagine my phone video would be very good. I didn't think I'd watch any, but then I got to listen to Cheryl sing, and it was so cool to hear her voice...so, maybe I will watch the ones of my connections actually showing themselves or places I'd like to know more about.

Hmm, in order to not have videos for you, you will need to disconnect from anyone and everyone you are connected to that posts a video.

I am not anit-social.....hmmm.....don't have to go look at the video's.

don't have anything to post video's with anyway...

So, I guess this means you don't want to see video of my last vacation shot from the passenger window in the rain?

We're in the same boat, away for few and come back to all these changes, boohoo.

I'm planning on posting mp3s of everything I have by me. I was going to add some still pix to make things more confusing--musical slide show stuff. Now you tell me you won't watch or listen. I'm heartsick. I even joined your group.

I am anti-social though. More alienated than anything else. As Groucho Marx, playing Quincy Adams Wagstaff, said, "Whatever it is, I'm against it."

I won't watch any of the video - I have SLLLLOOOOWWWW speed.

fine, joanne....
but THIS should be your logo...

I don't think I like the video, either.

"Then ON the OTHER hand - at 25 points per post - I can understand the abuse level right now and I'm tempted to throw up a hundred 1 second clips myself."

Anna has a point--abuse level is high, but I'm not really sure the quality or quantity of videos will change in the near future. I contemplated uploading some videos of one of my daughters singing. But a friend/connection of mine just goot flagged for copyright violation, because she had a perfectly fitting song, accompany her slide show. It was a really good video, but I guess she didn't have permission to use the song.

Now, I'm wondering if I would be in violation, if I posted my daughter singing a soong which we didn't write, and therefore don't own copyright to. Where's the violation line drawn? In this case, do I just pay respect to said artist, and publish away, or this that not enough?

Sue~ Where's Cheryl's video? I wanna see too!

Oops...I think I have a srticky "o' key.

I've been called the Perle Mesta of my area... does that mean you don't like me now?

Change is always hard - just don't look at them.

Okay, Bart's link was so funny, I had to laugh out loud. I'm working on an Anti-Socialite icon.

I don't like video, but I do love Nippy. Mr. Katz, you are the official exception to my anti-video rule, as long as some Otis and Opal footage shows up along with the occasional blues. Anyone else, unless you have Scottish folds or big blue kazoos, I make no promises.

Nippy, if you hook up your videos on MySpace, I will gladly visit them. I'm afraid to do so here though. I'm one who likes to wait until all the bugs are worked out before I indulge. Ya know what I mean?

25 points a piece? No wonder the Orange Bubble has gone nutty. And NO, I don't want to see your trip through a rain-streaked window, or your neighbor's cats doing the wild thing.

I think I'd enjoy seeing someone go through a rain streaked window.

I'm going to sulk.

Don't sulk. Post yourself doing the wild thing, and I might reconsider.

25 points apiece? That's what's wrong. They're giving all my points to the video people.

Nippy, I wouldn't mind seeing that either, depending on the person.

It is not possible to be more anti-social than me today. I'd like to start killing people and may just do exactly that.

By the way, none of my connections are expected to suffer through any of my videos. I won't even watch them myself.

LOL, I just joined the group. I saw crone and thought hey, that's me. You know an old witch (or at least that's what they call me around here, or sometimes they swao the w for a b). Does this mean I get my turn at stirring the cauldron????

Joanne, that's an interesting thought. I'll have to find a partner who wouldn't mind being watched by strangers on the internet or, in the worst case, go it alone.

There are some negatives here.

Plan A: My wife wouldn't consent to being part of a video and definitely wouldn't consent to temporary use of a different partner. The ask for forgiveness option wouldn't work for her either. Her answer would be "No way. Get out now."

Plan B: I think the solo approach might satisfy morbid curiosity but definitely not arouse prurient interest.

If you can come up with financing on an appropriate scale we might be able to work something out.

I'm still laughing at Bart and Apryl.

Kevin and I have had a couple of videos planned for YouTube for awhile that we've been playing with. I wouldn't expect anything to get posted for at least several months. I'd planned on an article with a link to YouTube for the videos when the time was right. I may still do it this way, even though there are video capabilities here. I'm not into the video thing here. I don't think this is the site for it, although there is definitely a place for it on the net. I just want to write.

I love Nippy's wife. She could be a real friend!

I have dial-up at home, so videos are pretty useless. I also am not really all that interested, to be honest.

So, folks who said they wanted to hear the musicians were just being polite. I'll bet they regret that, now.

I won't post video, but I have a single audio file up because it answers the questions I get here most often: "what kind of music do you play?" "do you have a recording?" and, "what instrument?" It's the most efficient answer I can provide, and I'm leaving it there for the morbidly curious.

In time, I hope you will forgive me, Joanne, and we'll be friends again. Maybe Madame Donna can post a yummy photo of a coffee cake and we can all go to her photo and chitchat, make peace, and find forgiveness?

We've been married a long time. It may be inertia and it may be a good match. We aren't sure. One of the reasons I married her is that she's capable of thinking for herself and isn't shy about expressing the things she comes up with.

Thank you, Joanne. Now its official. Gather is just like every other blog on the internet. Ho Hum.

Hey, what happened to the point whore who taught me everything I know? At 25 points a pop, you bet I'm posting a bunch of my short, boring clips!

Yeah, but I'm too lazy. If they made it 250 points a pop, I might get interested.
