Post BB - Housemate Antics 2013

[Jo-bot]

It was Tim who said that I think

I tend to disagree that the photos she's posted lately indicate anything other than Tully being social with her friends ... and that included one very close friend having a birthday and Tully finally being free to go out and be herself now that the article is out and the truth about her relationship with Drew being over is out. She had the Channel V Island party to attend ... is there a limit as to how many social occasions she's allowed per week all of a sudden? A while ago we were wanting the HM's to be out every night so we could see photos and find out what they were doing ... now there's no hint of relationships do we suddenly expect these young people to stay in and watch tv every night?

and I don't see anything wrong with her and Tahlia being a bit sarcastic via Twitter ... faced with the barrage of nasty sometimes filthy comments on both their accounts since Tully first came out of the house and having finally worked through things to the point they can interact as friends - well I just don't see why they should now cop criticism for having an "in joke" between themselves over the comments they've had to read day in / day out - so they're showing a bit of attitude about some of the stupid comments that must be so repetitive and therefore so frustrating

how many times has someone posted to them about what breed of dog Luna is? whether she's still with Drew? she can't be seen in public anywhere with Tahlia or any of her female friends without them asking about them being together again ... a simple show of affection between friends gets blown out of all proportion and the comments get uglier ...

It's the mentality some people have on SM that they are free to push boundaries and ask whatever intrusive questions or make whatever rude comments that spring into their mind - there is NO filter

i don't care what photo's she takes. It's the thriving in the spotlight, living for it, gagging for it, posting things that they know will be controversial and then whinging about it and being smart arses.

They want all these followers, they are happy to get free stuff and advertise to their followers and then complain about them. And i get that having abuse hurled at you isn't nice, but it's what you get, don't read it if it cuts too deep, but don't take all the bonuses and freebies and use it as a tool one second and then piss and moan the next.

That post by tahlia (who i have had mucho respect for most of the time) where she was all "did we ask you comment" or whatever it was really gave the impression they think they are above all. Your on social fucking media, using it to your advantage and then chastise people for making a stupid comment. By all means address the comment at hand (or better yet don't read, don't respond), but the whole "we are better than you" tone is rotten. It's whinge whinge moan, my lifes tough, i'm so lonely, look at me partying every night and surrounded by friends, sob sob. The desperate attention seeking, followed by mocking the very people giving you attention is boring and pathetic. Suck it up and get the most out of it if you want, but you are just a reality contestant that most people hated and only found fame because of the hook-up with the house hottie.... Dry up and get off social media since it's all so beneath you, fools.

[MENTION=34950]crimmy[/MENTION], you always do bring so much wisdom to the table. I avoided the tully situation as I just didn't find a lot of what she did an issue. Except the wanting privacy thing as I really see no pint to this when on a social media network for all to see. But other than that, having night outs does not make someone a drunk. If that's the case well I should have labelled boog and Ed as number one contenders to this title. I didn't even comment about the group flash pic. Her side boob shots are on the same par of not more so really didn't see the fuss there either

But is she in any way interesting anymore? This is what I'm struggling with.

Did she actually asked for privacy or we just assumed??? I'm looking for her tweet or post that pertains to wanting privacy but come up with nothing. Does anyone here knows? ???

and isn't this where she is similar to Drew - a social chameleon - able to adapt to different social groups, different social occasions ... and to fit in

difference probably being that Drew would fit in and blend in whilst Tully would fit in but like to be centre of attention to some extent ...

what I don't get is that whilst people here seemed to smile indulgently over Drew supposedly being off his face at Laneway ... Tully posts a pic of herself with a glass in her hand in the company of friends and immediately she and anyone with her is labelled drunk and the criticism starts ... one glass does not equal drunk and does not equal a drinking problem ... or over indulgence

so was it just a case of Tully being tolerable when part of Drully but now all gloves are off again?

Hmmm.. Have to think about this one. I can certainly see your point, and to be honest I did question myself when I posted my comment as to whether I was being unfairly biased towards Drew. I think a lot of his photos were posted by other people posing with him, rather than him posting photos of himself. I think maybe I have placed higher expectations upon Tully because I feel an empathy with her and desperately want her to do well and prove all the haters wrong.

If you want to know what the song was, it's Jump by Rihanna

[video=youtube;CKxxvUMZFpM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKxxvUMZFpM[/video]

Now you can put it on your music player/phone and go whack off in the toilet.

I don't think I'm going to be able to think of this song without thinking about Tully anymore.

Where can I buy the record for my gramophone?

And who seriously has that song as their "sexy time" song? The original? It was just funny, and I was 13 when it came out.

rotf - yeah right - I'm just long winded!! I don't find it an issue either - and the Flash Mob photo was just that - a joke amongst a group of friends - whoever took the shot has told them 'we're doing a flash mob photo 1 2 3 GO' and they've all gone for it .. wise to post it? probably not but in the scheme of things its pretty harmless.

The sort of job she might be looking for is to be social, out there and current ... staying at home on the couch and posting photos of her dog, her decor or her food isn't going to get her there. A certain amount of social notoriety might be what she feels she needs to put her into the minds of the sort of places she's looking for work.

I keep having to remind myself I'm old enough to be her mother so I try hard NOT to impose my wrongs/rights on her I guess ...

she doesn't want privacy, she just likes to whinge about the attention she tries so hard to court.

 

[Jo-bot]

ed is way cooler, way way cooler. People who think they are cool usually aren't.

so its not them saying anything about privacy - just them being sarcastic or showing some attitude in regard to intrusive stupid questions

 

[Sweet_Geek]

I still find her interesting... Maybe because reaper keeps it exciting, who knows. But I'm not bored of her just yet.

Ahhhh... Yeah maybe there was assuming on my part. Yes, I'm guilty. But for whatever reason, her responses via tweeting back annoyed me regardless. Other than that I'm ok with her

 

[prufrock]

Oh the irony.

I said a week or so ago that I thought Tully should probably drink less, and I say this as a drinker. I couldn't care a jot if she drank every day, but she complains often of hangovers, which essentially is pretty uncool. A 26 year old woman who still seems to think that her hangovers are cool is a bit sad. And really, I find the Luna pics a lot more vapid than the party pics. At this point, I'm struggling with the fact that Tully, whom I want to support is boring me as much as Jade. As for Drew, his infrequent, but very funny tweets and his capacity to just get on with things in the same cheery way as Boog, means he gets a free pass. He also doesn't boast regularly about his hangovers.
I feel fickle and if Tully pulls her finger out I know I'll 'forgive' her. I bet she'll be really excited about that

When you say 'vapid', do you mean in the dull and unimaginative sense or more along the lines of 'obsessed with herself'?

 

[chinnii]

ed is way cooler, way way cooler. People who think they are cool usually aren't.

So I'm taking this as a joke and just move forward. On second thought, maybe we have different definition of being cool. #LOL

Both. She never comments on anything of note. Her self absorption is part of it, but I keep thinking that she doesn't seem to care about anything other than herself. Has she seen a film that challenges, has she read a book she liked, has she commented on any issue that suggests she cares about her community, either local or global? No, no and no. The problem is that I thought she would do this. My expectations were lower/different for everyone else.

 

[crimmy]

I disagree that she tries hard to court the sort of attention she's complaining about

simply going out with a group of her friends which included Tahlia has apparently got someone asking for a comment (that to me sounds like its a journo/gossip column asking the question) (or maybe Reaper stirring the pot!?!) and she's complaining about just simply going out the front door means she's open to anyone thinking her life is their business ... ok so yes she courts that to some extent

I guess I don't think by going on BB they tell us "ok from the minute i walk in the door my life is now yours - feel free to delve into every single aspect of my life from now until eternity if you must - I relinguish all right to a private life, to having a personal life - and I also hand you my list of friends/contacts and you can also feel free to do the same with their every waking minute and that of THEIR friends etc etc

I don't think any one of them have any idea how much its going to impact on their lives - and now more so than ever before because of the evolution of SM in our lives. I think Tully THOUGHT she knew ... but its just the same as they all have watched BB before and think they know what its going to be like - and once they're in they all say its just so much more than what they ever realised.

I agree I'd like to see her writing more on her blog - and getting to know more about her through her writing - and I'd expected she would do this. So I'm disappointed about that too.

I wonder if she's had a lot of negativity aimed at her blog as well so is biding her time ...

We can negotiate, you are long winded and wise

I agree so much with the highlighted part. She is more likely to get opportunities to be showcased in confidential now IMO. She can also climb the social ranks and make herself available to opportunities work wise. Tully is smart and I'm sure she knows how to work the social scene to her advantage, so before I jump to conclusions I'll just wait it out and see what she does next.

You are also doing a fab job of not going into the mother routine IMO.

I remember you commenting early in in this thread about this or along the lines of it. I can understand your disappointment.

Edit: well going by the above post, you may need to rethink
