Formspring Abuse: A Rite Of Passage

As many of my twatterers have alluded to in their twats. People have left them nasty comments or left horrible questions via Formspring. This has happened to @MagicallyAdept, @SlimySnail & @MrsCupidStunt amongst others. I felt bad for them and wanted to know what person would write such hateful things about someone they have never met, spoken too or in some cases not even seen a picture of the person.

Along with feeling bad for my twatterers, I also felt envy in a strange way. Envy beacuse when someone wants to hurt you and get in your head. They will think of hurtful things to say about you. That takes up their time and also means they are thinking about someone they claim not to like an awful lot and allowing it in some cases to take them over.

I have always said never take anything I twat on Twatter as serious because I'm an idiot. To think that a person has taken the time out of their day, however long that may be to write to you personally means they are either letting it consume them or they're taking it to heart and not letting it go.

Wednesday/Thursday this week I got my first Formspring question of that nature. I was delighted that I had got in their and they felt the need to:-

A. Take time out of their day
B. Think up something to say
C. Typing it to me personally (making sure I'd see it)
D. Plus make it abusive

Now I was surprised and shocked but relieved cause I knew it was gonna happen one day. It's like seeing a penis on ChatRoulette, if you haven't seen one then you haven't fully experienced ChatRoulette properly.

World Cup Day 24 - Germany vs Uruguay

Uruguay 2 (Cavani 28, Forlan 51) Germany 3 (Muller 18, Jansen 56, Khedira 82)


Germany started well and should have been ahead after ten minutes when Arne Friedrich hit the crossbar after Germany corner. The Germans went ahead on eighteen minutes when Thomas Muller put the rebound into the net after a long range from Bastian Schweinsteiger was parried into the middle of the goal by Fernando Muslera. With Germany in control, it looked like Uruguay were going to need something special to get back into the match. On twenty eight minutes the Uruguayan's equalised. A mistake by Schweinsteiger allowed Diego Perez to pick up the jabulani and pass to Diego Forlan who in turn found Edison Cavani. He was able to run into the box and slide his shot past Hans Jorge-Butt in the German goal. That was 1-1 and game on. In the fifteen minutes before half time Uruguay were the better side as Schweinsteiger and the rest of the German team looked to be dwelling on his mistake. Luis Suarez had a chance to make it 2-1 before half time but he dragged his shot wide.

It ended 1-1 at half time, both sides trying to win the match and both looking dangerous & dominating periods.

Six minutes into the second half and Uruguay were ahead. Forlan hit a volley into the ground & into the net. That was after good play from Egidio Arevalo who crossed into the edge of the box for Forlan to make it 2-1 and put Uruguay in control. A ball into the Uruguayan box from Jerome Boateng caused all sorts of problems. Muslera came out to punch the ball but did not get anywhere near it. That allowed the cross to get to Marcell Jansen who with the side of his face put Germany back on level terms, 2-2 after fifty six minutes.

Stefan Kiessling had an effort saved by Muslera on seventy six minutes. As both sides pressed for a winner spaces began to appear. Germany regained the lead on eighty two mintues, when a whipped corner from Mesut Ozil popped up & enabled Sami Khedira to loop his header over Muslera and into the goal. Two minutes from time Kiessling had a wonderful chance to make it 4-2 but side footed his effort way over the bar. With the last kick of the game Uruguay had a chance to make it 3-3 but Forlan's freekick came back off the crossbar.
