Your Scarlet Letter.
Obviously no one is going to run around sewing letters to people's clothes, but if everyone had to wear a button that stated your worst attribute, your darkest secret...what would it be?
For example, mine would probably say..."only goes after what she can't have, and stupidly pursues it to a fault"
"...you want to be truly unselfish? Love someone or die for someone. Those are the only good deeds you can perform without any hope of personal gain."
For example, mine would probably say..."only goes after what she can't have, and stupidly pursues it to a fault"
no longer a self saboteur?

Meh, felt it needed explaining. And you should get a mirrored V.
"...you want to be truly unselfish? Love someone or die for someone. Those are the only good deeds you can perform without any hope of personal gain."
good thought. i like it.

I've been planning for two years for a V on the back of the neck for Vengeance, Viscious, Violent, etc. A V to stand for many things others may guess upon the meaning.
It stands for your favorite "Rocky" movie.
For example, mine would probably say..."only goes after what she can't have, and stupidly pursues it to a fault"
How is that something that would ostracise you from a society? I mean, that's probably one of the most commonplace faults people have. The desire to have what you do not have: a useful definition of what it is to be human.
I don't know what mine would be. Probably D for debauchery.
I never cared for the Rocky movies and I think the only one I even saw half of was with the Russian.
My heart is my best and worst attribute.
I care for others more than I care for myself. It can be a Catch 22 sometimes.
I'll just sew a heart on my clothes. The organ, not the lovey dovey shape.
Ugh, you people are insufferable with your choices.
My worst quality is also my best quality!
Then pick something else! It has to only be bad bad bad and make everyone despise you for it!
Oh, Hester! They know not what they say! They forget you! They forget what you went through!

Hush, puppy. I can choose what I want.
You don't get to choose! That's the point!
This thread would be better if i just gave everyone a letter.
Ruth: I
Levi: G
Taylor: D
Brandon.tietz: S
Nicotinefiend: no idea who you are, so you're spared! for now.
I for impulsive
Self-serving, I believe you called me in another thread.
Bwah hahahahaa!!!!
An "M" for ME!
Just reminded me of a joke. Your mom's rated E for Everyone.
Self-serving, I believe you called me in another thread.
Self-indulgent.
Nothing wrong with serving oneself.
Also, not to say that i know that you're like that. Just a cursory first impression of a man who makes his own fan page.
Heehee.
My worst attribute is a ridiculously unearned sense of self-worth, or maybe I judge people too much, same difference though. I think it's my best attribute but that's self-fulfilling. It's the one that fits your questions, anyway.
After about the eighth friend request on Facebook from either a writer wanting help with their career or a reader wanting to ask me questions, a line had to be drawn.
And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person to have made a fan page to keep their private life private.
I don't know, you could just ignore those requests.
To each their own, but the letter stays!
Meh, I don't think going after something you know is going to be detrimental to yourself is a very good thing, especially when you throw reason to the wind and don't know when to cut your losses and leave.
I think it's a horrible attribute.
What's the "I" for anyway?
I didn't really mean for the quality to be something that would ostracize you from society, just something that, if people knew about it, would be considered a bad thing. Obviously not many people consider adultery, at least in the Hawthornian sense, a bad thing.
And how is a heart an attribute?
"...you want to be truly unselfish? Love someone or die for someone. Those are the only good deeds you can perform without any hope of personal gain."
Wait, you made your own fan page?
"...you want to be truly unselfish? Love someone or die for someone. Those are the only good deeds you can perform without any hope of personal gain."

He made a fan page. I should probably have one, too, what with all my fans.

If you actually thought that was a horrible attribute, you wouldn't do it. Also, that's not what you originally said, though it makes more sense. Anyrate, that's not really a vice, and i've decided to make your thread very true to the book, because good source material deserves lawful representation!
The I, well, that's for you or another to discover. But it shouldn't be too hard to gather.
Never been in the habit of ignoring people who paid to read my work, and in light of the recent tirade we've seen on here by Geoffrey Alexander Parsons, self-promoting, self-indulgent, self-serving...whatever you want to call it...it seems a little extreme in comparison.
Well, it's not really as cut and dried as all that, sometimes I don't really realize I'm doing it until I'm in the midst of it, also, romantically, it can be difficult to be remove oneself from a bad situation...
And as the only thing negative I can think that begins with and "i" is Idiot...Hmmm. Not very nice, Eddy.
"...you want to be truly unselfish? Love someone or die for someone. Those are the only good deeds you can perform without any hope of personal gain."
I'm not comparing nothing.
And you needn't justify your actions to me. Just keep on keepin' on.

Ignorance, was the word. Though, it should probably be W for Willfully Ignorant.
They're not supposed to be nice! They're scarlet fucking letters!
Jeez! Have a sense of humor.

Mr. Tietz was my father. Please, call me Brandon.
Hahahaha I love this chick and her douche baggery.

Wow, way to jump on the bandwagon!
"...you want to be truly unselfish? Love someone or die for someone. Those are the only good deeds you can perform without any hope of personal gain."
Come on, love, don't get your knickers in a twist.
I can't really think it's a surprise to you, but i shan't get into it! Too many threads are full of that nonsense.
Also, did Nicotine guy call me a broad?
I think the term was chick.

Well, with the avatar and the "vaginal banana" thing... even I was a bit confused when I first came back to the Cult a few weeks ago.

Hahaha, vaginal banana. I forgot about that.
To clarify, most "official" fan pages you see on facebook are created by the people themselves. nothing wrong with that except facebook's poor choice of words.
As for me, I'm working my way through the alphabet, with unhappy results.
Notice that the chick/guy didn't mention if she/he is a chick or guy.
I'm whatever you want me to be.
How about a taco that poops ice cream?
When it comes to puppies, I think you look at the bottoms of their feet, right?

I can only imagine what hidden meaning is beneath your words and I say no thanks.
I think i like this guy. He's weird.
And i mean that in a gay or straight way, depending.
I'm straight.
lol "knickers"
Heehee.

what's all this? gallant? glossy-eyed?

If that's what you believe.
I don't think I would have a letter per se but all my cloths would be upholstered from the finest doormats to let people know they can step all over me.
mine would be a big red felt V for vain.
