This is my "wanky" blog.

But if I don't feel very wanky? Hmmm, such problems!

spoiled rotten

Okay, I'm sorry, but people who are violently opposed to spoilers, yet spend their time surfing Internet journals and sites dedicated to the show and are HORRIFIED, OMGHORRIFIED they are spoiled, are like people with pollen allergies who spend hours of their day in the Botanical Gardens howling about how much their eyes itch and OMG, WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

Just ... ugh.

Cry me a fucking river ...

Oh, boo-hoo, you useless narcissist trainwreck I can't stop reading.

No one wants you, loves you or respects you on Ye Olde ElJay or in Real Life.

Wah, wah, wah.

And yet, if you only learned how to talk to people, you could probably get away with that "realness" you so relish. Instead, you are just an insecure jerk silently screaming "LOVE ME!" to the h8ters, whom you both desire and despise.

You make me sick.

I wish there was some way to quit reading you.

Maybe when you're dead, I'll stand around and smell your shirt.

Pointing and Laughing at The Dead

I'm torn about DL-Anon's savaging of the "open-board" over in MsAllegro's terrority.

On one hand, I know she's been a poison thorn, a bully and a wanking nutter in the fandom for a long time now and probably deserves all the scorn heaped on her and more.

On the other hand, there is the disturbing scent of kicking someone when they are down, way down, hanging in the air over that community of late. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe she's being bright and active and full of viperdom somewhere in the fandom (although I doubt that, as it would have been gleefully reported by DL-A and they've been scraping for crumbs now for months) but if all she's been doing lately is keeping her crap indoors on a kind of locked board with a few of her closest enemies (because those people certainly aren't her friends, nope) then ripping all that out in the open and going nuts over it as if it were fresh wankish activity reeks of childish vendetta more than exposing the truth about a bully.

And yeah, yeah, DL-A isn't about fandom protection, or being a shining example of moral behavior, it's there to point and laugh, but there hasn't been a lot of laughter generated either from this wank. There's been a kangaroo court atmosphere over there for the past few days, with this admittedly crazy, but basically inactive woman being drawn, quartered and hung several times over in every post.

Yeah, she's crazy. Yeah, she's a hypocrite. Yeah, she has no clue. Yeah, she's a homophobe/misogynist and creep of the highest sort.

But none of this is new. And few people are left who believe otherwise. There's no one left to convince of these facts, I fear.

And ... it's not really that funny anymore either.

Thus my disturbance at the stomping of what looks like her very inanimate corpse.

Sorry. Maybe my pointing and laughing finger is broken for this one.

Everyone's looking bad from where I'm standing.

Ew

The HP BNF's?

Make my skin crawl.

My skin hasn't crawled since '96 when someone threatened to burn down the house of some other fan who annoyed them. In person.

HAH!

My passive-aggressiveness beats your passive-aggressiveness any day of the week, bitch!

Twat on me for spoilers? I'll double-spoil your ass and anyone who bothers to look in my journal who doesn't belong there.

*slaps you silly*

gleeful, evil chuckle

Ever have someone do something really nasty to you and you think for years afterwards: "Someday motherfucker, someday you'll get yours. Sooooomeday ...karma will come."

Oh Lord, did they get theirs this morning.

Schaudenfreud. It what's for dinner.

Yummy.

How people in the HP tolerate the utter assholes they have in "leadership" positions in their fandom is beyond me.

You guys need to stage a revolution. Or, at very least, some group therapy.

Because your fandom is messed up, yo.

Yeah, you. I'm talking to YOU, whiner!

lexluvsclark@gmail.com (ingrid) — Wed, 22 Dec 2004 07:35:00 -1200

Jesus Christ, stop the pity party, I want to get off.

GAH!

Grow up. Recognize yourself. Recognize others for the assholes they are before you let them in. Understand your motivations. Understand other's motivations, which are almost always self-centered craptrap.

GROW UP!!!! Self-recognize and be free, damnit!

This thread is so fucking boooring without the named names.

Not that I know any of these HP losers anyway. Which makes it even worse.

Where's the identifiable hate, people? The SV hate? Where???

*grumps*

Dear Chat Pals:

Please stop sucking each others' asses where I can see it -- ie. my friends' list -- and pretending you're posting these ass suckings to entertain me.

Because you aren't. You're fucking irritating me.

kthnxby!

Forgot to mention ...

It's schmoopy Lionel/Lex incest I want.

That's the part I left out of my Livejournal.

Good thing, as my sanity is being question on just the Lionel part.

*bleaches brain*

I don't make close online fandom "frienships" anymore. I don't have time to maintain them and memories of being burned badly the last few times I did it make me shy away from all that. There are one or two people I chat with outside of LJ once in a blue moon, but that's nowhere near the norm, I'm sure.

Still, I miss the intimate one-on-one connection. I miss the in-jokes and the gossip sometimes, even though, in retrospect, in-jokes and gossip have this way of turning into sekrit wank of the cruelest sort aimed at other fen/writers. Which is something I despise.

I know I seem aloof. But it's only because I've gained wisdom over the years and holding myself back is the wisest choice.

Even if it's not the most fun one.

Dear Three Laptop Lady,

You better be planning to stay in the HP fandom a long, long time.

Because your ass is going to be bitched out of town in any others you'll ever try to join.

No love,
Ingrid

Writers are weird creatures.

Praise for another is like a cheese grater on our ears. The label of "brilliant" is a warning to us to stay far away from the repugnant leper that's wandered into our midst all secure in their talent and guaranteed adoration.

It's the worst thing that can happen to a writer, being publicly loved.

Strange how hard we pray it'll happen to us, and soon, damnit!

OMG, Journalfen has won the prize for the world's first snot-ass maintenance page warning:

Maintenance

Journalfen is down right now while we do some work. We will be back up once the server has had a little rest and we have more frequent automatic database back-ups finished. Refreshing this page a million times won't make it come back up any sooner.

Wow. Here's my ass, JF. Please suck it.

I just gave those dumb fucks money too. Damn.

I don't read fic based on subjects and pairings I don't like no matter how well written it may or may not be.

This is not a moral failing.

This is not an intellectual failing.

It's not a exclusion issue. It's not an entitlement issue. It's not misogyny. It's not racism, sexism, homophobia, heterophobia, kinkophobia, or any of the other idiotic psychosocial labels people want to give it.

As George Carlin once famously stated... I just don't like it.

Please stop trying to tell me it's something more. Because it's not.

I Just. Don't. Like. It.

What is it about "unattractive subject matter sucks all the goodness out of even brilliant writing" don't people understand?

Oh, wait. Don't answer that. Please.

*puts on earmuffs and hums Christmas carols*

A decade on line and you'd think I'd be cynical by now ...

lexluvsclark@gmail.com (ingrid) — Tue, 7 Dec 2004 09:24:00 -1200

Sorry, but that "three laptop" lady in the HP fandom?

She has no fucking shame.

That is all.

How much do I love my Firefox Yahoo! Toolbar extension?

THIS FUCKING MUCH!!!!!!!!!

Why do I have a cold sore?!? I don't have a cold.

AUGH!

A Series of Unfortunate Events

1. Author whines to friends over chat about lack of feedback for latest story.

2. Author's sympathetic friends pimp it on their blogs, loudly and simultaneously.

3. Author is very happy because nobody will ever figure out that it's a giant pity pimp. It looks like a orgy of recs, right?

Except ... not. Hint: The simultaneous part sort of gives it away.

It's pathetic. Please, fragile authors. Beg for your pity in public, okay? At least I'll have more respect for you.

I love how when I ask Elena to bring home cat food she just sweeps half the shelf off into a basket and brings that home, instead of what all my former girlfriends did -- buy a single can.

This is the difference between a fling and forever, yo.

I hate how most "dark" fic writers don't realize that it's not about how you kill the character, it's what you do with the body afterwards.

I've donated money on occasion to a few folks on my friend's list who were in dire straights, such as not having enough for gas and food until the next paycheck. I'm in a fortunate position of having enough money not to have to worry about these things, so I spread the Karma around just as I believe Christ would want me to.

Not really a big deal. However, if someone's laptop got stolen and I have an inkling they can eventually get another one ... please. Laptops are luxuries. Hitting the internet cafe or the library until you can afford another is one of those inconveniences that come with the bumps real life hands out on occasion.

Accepting donations from online readers for a new luxury item, especially from a few who are probably worse off than you? Tacky, tacky, tacky!

On the other hand, if some strangers want to dump their wallets into your lap for whatever weird reason, that's their prerogative, I guess.

But I can't help but wonder what that says about someone who thinks they deserve this sort of handout for something that's not necessary to life.

*shrug*
