I got flamed!!!!1@!!!!!!!!twelve!!!
Apr. 3rd, 2004 09:06 pmJust so you know, this post is neither trying to be sarcastic nor ironic. I'm not putting on a brave face here. I don't *do* brave faces. This is me laughing at myself and laughing at my own jokes, all at the same time. Oh, and also laughing at haters.
Because they truly deserve to be laughed at.
And because it's fun.
Dude. The best thing ever happened today. It all started when
daylight_shadow IM'd me early this afternoon. See, a while back there was this huge thing where someone popular in fandom invited people to post anonymously in their journal who they had a crush on. Well, now
thewhiteprophet has done the same thing, only instead, she's asking people to post anonymously who they hate (see here). How did she get this idea? My guess is that it went something like this: "Gosh, I'm ever so bored. What shall I do? Oh, I know! I'll start a kerfuffle!"
Well, I don't hate anybody. And if I did hate somebody, I'd tell them to their face, not tell other people anonymously. However, I looked through the six pages worth of hate comments (it's fourteen pages now). I mean, these things are like trainwrecks. You have to look. So I looked. The seventh comment on the list is a flame for
piecesofgale.
Of course, this person isn't joking. He/She's dead serious. Which is why I find it so funny. I would never have though my silly little RPG was worth hating. But wait. The joke gets better. Someone replied saying: Agreed. And, hate the person who started it...
OMG Syd! People hate us! [2]
BEST. DAY. EVER.
Whoever you folks are, thank you so, so much. I always wanted a flame. Now I finally have one.

comment thread
[1] Fandom is a bunch of geeks getting together on the internet to indulge sexual fantasies and obsess over their favorite tv shows, therefore fandom "coolness" is a very relative term, to say the least.
[2] It occurs to me that the other members of the RPG might not find this as amusing as I did. Because of this, I'm locking any posts on my lj which make mention of who is playing which personality. Nobody needs to know who you guys are unless you want them to.

lierdumoa: it's my first flame -- does this qualify as a flame?
daylight_shadow: I think so
lierdumoa: I'm so posting it in my journal
daylight_shadow: yay
lierdumoa: and putting it in my memories
daylight_shadow:
lierdumoa: because it is *just* *that* cool
daylight_shadow: you were talking about flames a while back
lierdumoa: how if I ever got one I would frame it?
...lierdumoa: you know what the best part of it is?
lierdumoa: whoever flamed the community thought we were trying to be cool [1]
lierdumoa: dude
lierdumoa: I'm not getting over this any time soon
lierdumoa: best joke ever
