The Oprah Winfrey Show

Post by Foresta Gump » Fri Oct 14, 2005 6:08 am

Guess what I did once again, for the third time actually.

A year or so ago I wrote to Oprah Winfrey show, but I quit writing because of chickenitis on the forum, stemming from the chicken.

I wrote to someone on this forum and mentioned I was going to do this, well I did it once again today. This time I'm certain Oprah's team will contact me.

I aim to go on the Oprah Winfrey show, I would like selected members of the genius forum to join me. I believe I'm genius, I want this clarified for me.
If I be genius, then I want my claim to be justified, so I'm willing to undergo any tests put forth to me.

You will be hearing back from me on this subject again when I hear back from Oprah Winfrey's team.

Hey chicken I still like you

The main reason you are insane is that you constantly seek attention.

That is your whole game plan about life, you use insanity to gather attention from others. You, my dear, are just a pathetic little child.

Of course, though no need to personally fret though because you have been caused to be the way you are by some factor outside of your conscious control. All the same I do not think anybody should be soft on you or those of your type - precisely because you find a use in this "compassion", some form of gratification, and from this it becomes you modus operandum.

Why is it, then? Is it just out of pity? She's proven herself to be a buffoon several times.

Personally, I have taken the easy way out and just taken to ignoring her most of the time.

Why ignor me at all? I make sense most often, just sometimes I don't, that is no reason to be mean to me.

Yes, Jamesh is right, I am very child-like - innocent!

So would you deliberately be mean to a innocent child?

Alot of people are very mean to innocent children, they are the sick ones

And another thing attention is what I seek but not just any attention, otherwise I wouldn't be a recluse. I am a recluse trying to get out of living in my mind and come out of my shell, so naturally I'm seeking some sort of attention, and I will get it before I die.

I only want to go on the Oprah Winfrey show to show everyone I did what I wanted to do. Being genius means getting what you want from life. I want everyone to see who Foresta Gump is and how smart she is. Why should I keep her hidden anymore, she wants out and I want to let her out. So she's out, and she's going to become famous, do these sound like the words of the mentally ill, or do they sound more like words of determination?

So leave me alone, and quit picking on me, not that it bothers me at all, but when one asshole picks on me another asshole follows. Woe to the asshole who picks on me to much, then I'll start picking to. D.Hodges I thought you would have learned by now.

I don't want or need anyone's sympathy, I don't need it, what I do need is a little praise once in a while, I've never gotten any praise from anyone ever in my whole life after my parents, accept from my Editor who believes in my work.

I am all alone in this world, sure I have my seven year old granddaughter, but I am still all alone, no one has any idea how alone I really am. I love my life but I am to alone in it, and I am to much of a coward to commit suicide, but believe me its on my mind more often than not. I have a few chosen friends, but I am still alone in my head. I only hope I remain a coward, because I refuse to 'off' myself so society can't have last word and say "Well she was mentally ill" I won't give anyone the satisfaction of being right.

Do you know how much I hate being labled with this detriment?

I don't use mental illness to get what I want, people here don't even know I am afflicted with it. Only the genius forum know, my Editor probably knows from reading my posts here. But, I didn't tell her.

I'm tired of talking now, thats all I ever do is talk, what will I do if I quit writing, I will have nothing to do, and an idle mind is the devils workshop, so now I have my answer, I can never quit talking or writing or I will be doomed if I haven't anything else to replace my constant yapping with. In real life I have difficultly speaking effectively. I'm certain I'm retarded a bit.

Why can't people be as honest an entity as I am?

I don't expect any answers

David Quinn is the most honest man I've spoken with so far, and he ignors me to, why do people ignor people? Is this genius? No its not. People who deliberately ignor people are choosing to for their own various reasons. But, because I think its mean, it may not be mean from their point of view.

I'm finished talking now

Your problem, Donna, is that you talk too much.

But don't worry, lots of people have the same problem.

I haven't called my sister in years because she talks so much it's torture to have a conversation with her on the phone. It can easily turn into a two hour ordeal.

Once I get started talking on certain subjects I'll go on for a long time, so I try to restrain myself most of the time.

People like a little bit of talk, but no one wants to know every single thought in another person's head. No one wants to know about a stranger's personal business like their medical problems, and if they did it would only be so they could gossip about it to someone else.

I've found that channelling my energies into something productive helps alleviate my need to talk, like keeping a journal or a web page or something.

Hi Matt...Long time no talk to!

Post by Foresta Gump » Sat Oct 15, 2005 5:09 am

Yes, Matt, I do talk to much. I volunteer to much, is more like it.

Thanks for telling me this nicely, I respond to nice more than anythng else. You persuade more with the use of honey vs.vinegar. I'll keep this in mind Matt, and try and refrain from talking to much. Thats the idiocy in me. Because I know theres no one else like me in the whole world, so its difficult for others to relate with me being different from 'the norm'

I'm going to let some things go, like why you guys are 'soft' on me.

I don't want to know.

I already know anyway or at least I assume I know, no ones told me anything, people seem to like keeping me in the dark.

But, I'm not really in the dark, I see everything, even whats going on behind the scenes.

Only the smart know, and you know what I mean because you're one of the smart ones, so is Dan and whoever else who know. To know is to understand!

I'm babbling again, but here's one I remember writing on this forum back a couple of years ago

He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep-wake him
He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool-shun him
He who knows and knows that he knows is wise- follow him

I Need my own Web Page!

How do I set-up my own web page, can someone help me to figure this out?

I have my own msn space but that is all

Its called Foresta Gump's Editing Services, I need my own web-page to advertise myself, but I am so alone that I have no Bozo's to help me with anything in my life. I have a couple of friends but they are computor illiterate stupid in other words.

You can get a free webpage at Tripod:

http://www.tripod.lycos.com/

But I don't know anything more about it, so don't ask. Look on their site for help if you need it.

Thanks Matt!

ThankYou Matt very much

I will check this site out right now and get back to you after I've figured everything out.

"All the same I do not think anyone should be soft on you or those of your type"

Ans.

First of all there is no other my type, no one! And secondly, I agree! But, by the same token, I don't want anyone to be hard on me either. But, I can take it!

"You my Dear, are just a pathetic little child"

Childish yes, in a mature kind of way, but pathetic, OUCH!

If you met me in real live person you would be like every other man, they all like me, and they always have! They all try to win my attention, this is so true. I've grown accustom to it and treat it totally natural. Men find me sensible, and I am not a long-winded person in real life. Men know I'm not the seductive type, and they know I wouldn't give them the time of day, so they leave me alone. Men respect me, the young idolize me and think they're in love, its true, every word of it. Its always been this way. I may be a recluse but I do know people and I do know how to socialize

People see what I seem and not who I am here on the forum

Ok, I must bare in mind what Matt told me, I talk to much, and on screen, he's right!

Bye

To get on the Oprah Winfrey show you must undergo an extensive screening process. There are thousands of people appyling to be on it.

You exhibit a very unstable personality that would more than likely not get past the first stage of screening.

My first husband was interviewed by Oprah when she was in Baltimore. She was purely disgusting then. When she went to Chicago, I could not believe she was the same person.

My husband thought she looked like a baboon and her questions were inane. She did improve in Chicago.

I think Oprah serves a purpose. At least, she promotes reading.

When I worked in a bookstore years ago, I was disgusted by the junk people read. Romances, war novels. Junk. I wanted them to read history and politics and classical literature and philosophy.

One day, when I pouted, someone pointed out to me, "It may be junk but at least they read. You never know, Marsha. Some lady may read a romance novel and run across a reference to Jane Austen or Dostoyevsky or Tolstoy and pick things up from there."

The same way that a kid who listens to Jim Morrison or Zappa might discover Nietzsche -- that leads to harder stuff.

Small hope, I realize, but small hope is better than no hope at all. Very few Americans read anything.

So, if Oprah promotes reading, at least, that is something. Darn better than promoting book burnings.

I know this forum is strident and forceful and that is very good for its purposes. But for a mass audience, a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.

I cannot quite picture Keven Solway or David Quinn on the Oprah show.

Too soft of a venue.

They would fare much better on Bill Maher who has a much more selective audience on HBO. Nobody whining about sexual molestation. Pretty tough but not tough enough.

Quinn and Solway could toughen things considerably.

But I doubt that even Maher is willing to go there.

Prince

What do you mean I exhibit a very unstable personality, you're full of shit. You know about me by what you've read bozo, using what I've said about myself against me. I don't need to speak with people like you, you know nothing about my true person, you only see me as I seem on the forum.

Your name, do you really see yourself as a prince, perhaps you have a personality flaw yourself.

Mud Slingers!

Post by Foresta Gump » Mon Oct 17, 2005 2:36 pm

And I highly doubt sexual molestation would be a part of conversation on Oprah Winfrey, that didn't even have to be brought up. Mud-slinging and dirt go hand in hand.

I made a huge mistake telling all my business on genius forum, I was an idiot to think that I needed to be honest to a bunch of strangers who throw my childhood innocence right in my face.
Some people are just not worth my time or energy.

Flaws in Character

Guess you realized I wasn't reading that thread, huh?
D.Hodges is a follower, I can see this clearly. He is able to fit in well anywhere with anyone.
I don't know about being a follower - I'm not sure who or what you think I am following, but the rest is true. I can fit in well pretty much anywhere. It comes from having lived so many places. I lived one place for eight or nine years; another for four. Other than that, the rest of my life I have moved every two or three years.

I am able to get along at the superficial level required by everyday life, in the short and medium term at least, pretty well.

The problem is that it is practically instinctual by now; I don't even think about it. To do something that will directly piss someone off and alienate them takes deliberate effort on my part. It's not something that comes naturally to me, but it's just habit. It's ingrained politeness.

So most of the time I ignore you. To come right out and say it -- that you are a buffoon, that almost everything you write is dumb and makes me roll my eyes -- that takes some work for me. I need to be pushed a bit to do that.

So there you have it: I am overly polite. I can work on that. You are an idiot. I don't think there's anything you can do about that, other than what you have been doing - pretending it isn't true.
What do you mean I exhibit a very unstable personality, you're full of shit. You know about me by what you've read bozo
Oh yeah, and calling people names.
I believe I'm genius, I want this clarified for me. If I be genius, then I want my claim to be justified, so I'm willing to undergo any tests put forth to me.
It's already been completely clarified. What's the point of a test? You will just make up reasons why it didn't apply to you.

Why don't you just print yourself up a certificate saying you are a certified Jenius, and hang it on your wall? Give yourself a doctorate in Jeniology.

I'd suggest you cut back on the psychiatric drugs and start eating more nutritious foods.

PS - Consider looking for a boyfriend to reflect upon your nightmares (daymares) with.

PPS - Any more (under the covers) visits by 'The Alien' with the long, bony hand?

I don't care if you think I'm an idiot D.Hodges, its your opinion.

I'm probably an idiot savant! I laugh at people like you, you're to afraid of what people will think, especially if they're right!

I'm darn good at being an idiot aren't I?

At least this idiot isn't any follower!

And Tomas, that alian encounter was to the best of my knowledge very true, I remember thinking about the thin bed blanket that was over my head covering my face, if this had been a dream, how would I know that particular blanket was over my face at the time it was. And how could anyone sleep through an electrical storm so violent and noisy as it were that night, a perfect night for an Alian encounter.

And D.Hodges it matters not in the slightest if you never read any of my writings, I skip by you also, because frankly you bore me to tears.

Hey D.Hodges

Were you trying to win brownie points? I guess you must get tired of being a follower, its understandable you need others on your side to give you that boost you need to shit on someone every once in a while, right Hodges, its to bad you didn't learn that rhyme "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" Aw did I hurt your little feelings.

Whats the matter D.Hodges you can dish it out but you can't take it. Do you think I like to hear I'm an idiot? I am human too, just because I claim to be genius, you knock me down.

I am a genius damn it, my original poetry has proved that over and over again. The idiot in me is admitting my claim.

And what do you mean D.Hodges you're done here, you call me an idiot, I respond, you don't like my response, so now you say you're done here, well than you must be the idiot D.Hodges, why would you let an idiot drive you away?

I may be everything you people claim, I am, but I'm no idiot!!
A little eccentric, but no damn idiot!

So if you're going to be mean towards me, then you better duck because I'll hurl them back your way pal.

I don't always skip over your writings, sometimes I read them, depending on what the subject is about. I said that because I retaliated against you.
