Avi the Unicorn Queen's blog: "Ramblings"

I did it.  I started off this week with the goal of making the top 50 chicks of the week.  I was at rank 71 of the week when I started out.  I have always wanted to be on the home page of new hottness.  Of course this was a year ago when the only way to get likes was to scroll or have someone like you from the home page.  Back then my goal was to be green.  I already accomplished this the week I got back, you can read my previous blog post "Leaving the Green Behind" about that adventure.

I am writing this post to thank everyone who helped me achieve my goal.  I not only made top 50 chicks, I hit #15 of the week.  I couldn't have done it without some very special people.  You know who you are and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart (h).

The past seven days have been a struggle.  I put my entire self into getting rates so I could rank.  I did whatever was necessary.  I even stopped talking to a lot of people.  For this I am sorry :(  I never meant to ignore anyone.  I love my friends on here and would do anything for them.  You guys have a special place in my heart that can never be replaced.

As of today, I am withdrawing from hardcore ranking.  I proved to myself that I could do it.  I know that I could go even higher, red even, if I wanted to.  I don't want to though.  Just know, if you're reading this and also want to make it to the top of fu, you can do it.  It is stressful and very time consuming.  But you can jump from no rank to top 10 in one week if you wanted to.  Don't let anyone ever tell you, you can't.  In fact, block them out of your life now.

I have met lots of wonderful people along the way.  Making these new friendships had been the best part of the last week.

Now that I have achieved what I set out to do, I will work on my new goals for fubar.  I feel there is no need for me to stay at a rank.  I know I can do it.  Keeping it up just forces me to not do what I want to on fu.  I like helping others.  I like chatting with my friends.  I love making new friends.  In fact, after October, I am changing the color of my name.  For me this will be symbolic.  Everytime I see the grey, it will remind me of why I am here on fubar.

There is a lot of fun to be had on fubar.  Remember, this is an online bar...or at least that is how it is advertised.  When you visit a bar, you go there to either forget your worries in real life or meet people.  Whether it is new friends or a new spouse (lol).  I suggest you use fubar the same way.  Meet new people, have fun.  Enjoy the time you spend away from your real life.  Just don't let it become your real life.  It is an online social site, but don't forget to have a real social life as well.

The great thing about fubar, is there is something for everyone.  If you just like to chat and have fun, you can participate in lounges.  If you like being popular, you can rank on the lists.  If you want to be free and be the adult you are, there are many ways to do that here.  No matter what you enjoy doing in your free time, fubar can be that place you escape to.  That is why I keep coming back.

So for those of you who don't know me, I am a highly competitve person.  I've been on this site for several years and this is my second account.  I deleted my first in a fit of rage almost two years ago.

Last year, I took an extended fu-vacation because I needed a break from the stress and drama.  At that point in time I was working my way up the ranking ladder and trying to have my name in lime green for most likes.  I did accomplish a very satisfactory rank for chick of the week, but my name stayed pink.  That was fine.  I was happy where I was.  I was very unhappy because of unwanted drama I received due to some poor rumors.  I was also going back to school and needed to concentrate on my studies.

I ended my fu-vacation on Septemeber 22, 2011 and came back for good.  I was slightly excited and hoping my old friends were still around.  Even though only a few weeks have gone by, it feels like I never left.  I basically picked off where I left off.  Most of my friends are still active and I started ranking again. I even got my name in green for three days in a row. 

But I have better things to do with my time.  I refuse to sit on my ass all day long seeking out likes.

Starting today, I am turning over a new leaf.  I want to stay here at fu and the only way I can accomplish that is to end my competitive side.  I fulfilled what I set out to do.  Now it's time to relax and have fun.

Tomorrow I will be pink again.  I will miss having so many likes in a day, but I will not miss the work involved.

I seriously think you guys just like to bitch because it gets your adrenaline flowing.  

• You bitch for years about getting new abilities and when they start working on them, you bitch about how they go about it.
• You bitch about the widow maker requirement.  Well guess what folks, it's there to weed out the folks who don't think the level is worth it.  Not everything in life is easy.  It's also free to do.  If you don't like it, don't fucking level.  It's that simple.  If there were only easy level requirements, everyone would be at the highest level and bitching about how there isn't any variety.
• You bitch because you don't have an iPhone or iPad and so you can't get the discount.  Guess what, it's called MARKETING.  Yeah, you know, that thing that companies do to get more business by giving away free shit and discounts? 

I also think a lot of you like sore knees, because all you do is beg.

• "OMG new bling, must have!"  Yeah, so if you must have it, buy it yourself!  Or better yet, trade with someone else.  Sometimes you people seem to forget that bling costs real life money.  I don't care how pretty it is or how badly you think you 'need' it, begging in your status is the equivalent of standing on the street corning begging people for money while dressed in a nice suit.  All of my bling was freely given to me or traded for with other bling or purchased for myself. Yup, I bought my own God Modes and other expensive bling.  Why?  Because I wanted it and hell if I was going to ask someone I've never met to drop $50 or more on me.  That would just be pathetic, don't you think?
• "I need to be in the 1000 daily rank to level, please rate me!"  Okay, try this one on for size. I left fubar for about ten months.  I came back a week ago.  I WORKED my ASS off to get in the top 1000 and I never begged a fucking soul because I knew it would never happen if I sat on my ass and waited for people to rate me.  Guess what, I was able to level the very next day.  IT IS NOT HARD TO DO!  Want tips?  SB me, I'll tip your ass all the way to heaven.  You won't need bling or cash, just time.  Yes, it will mean you need to work, but you want to level don't you?
• "I only have xxxx amount of points to go, help me!" Yeah, read the one above.  Wanna level without bling?  Find someone running autos on a day that offers unlimited 11's.  Those days happen often.  Click on their bomb/ez rate folder.  Mash the 11th cherry and arrow over to the next picture.  Rinse and repeat.  Go forth and like every page you can find.  Rate boomies.  I mean seriously, points are fucking easy. Quit being lazy.

To sum it all up:

• YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEVEL
• IF YOU WANNA LEVEL, YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR IT
• IF YOU BEG, YOU ARE BEING LAZY AND CHEAP

That is all.  Feel free to comment, I won't bite.  Any personal attacks will cause my finger to slip onto the block button.  Freedom of speech is one thing, name calling and shit because you don't agree is uncool.

We'll count this as rambling one....until I actually think of something to write.
