there's a department christmas party on friday and i don't want to go. i don't like parties unless they're in the house of a friend and there aren't that many people there. but even worse, i have to bring a secret santa present "worth a few euros" and that means that first i have to buy such a thing. maybe a bunch of loose-leaf tea would be good (whom am i kidding? isilya's suggestions are always good). but still, i don't want to go shopping.

there are only three class meetings left for my spanish class. despite the fact that noora and eeva-sofia spent two hours boring me about colombia past and present today, i'm really going to miss this class. the professor gave back a corrected class summary with a personal note scribbled in the corner in red pen that's. kind of making me tear up. there's nothing i can do! it's the highest level class offered. i guess i could start going to the spanish movies they screen for free at el rincón latino in the hopes of running into some of them.

i am so sadly procrastinatey. all i want to do is write, not read conflict and compromise in multilingual societies: finland. it's actually a pretty great book, but... i just don't want to read it right now. but after monday my last exam will be done and i will have tons of free time to gorge myself on tv and movies, write, and bake.

oh, wait, actually. today aeslis happened to point me to an entry that i'd just recently seen cited on fandom wank, not to mock the OP but for the moron in this thread, who finds herself qualified to speak about whether having a "muse" is crazy by virtue of being "an avid student of literature" and also flings around a whole lot of post-modernism. well, we all know how i feel about post-modernism is basically unprintable (when not actually incoherent), but she's so incredibly tl;dr and unconsciously ridiculous while so determined to prove her intellectual superiority that it's actually pretty entertaining. there's also a kind of awesome Clash of Empiricism and Rationalism towards the end which resolves with the combatants kissing and making up (rather like professor-au-#1!jun and aiba).

but what are your thoughts on yaoi? [frequent phrases]

tinhats

over in harry potter fandom, they're overloading journalfen's servers again with something really... incredible.  a health insurance-less harry potter fan dying of a rare form of cancer asked an hp bnf, on a post asking people to raise money for breast cancer, to add a link to her fundraising site.  the bnf refused at length, and now fandom wank--and the cancer patient's journal--are in flames with trolling bnf minions who just don't shut up about how rude and presumptuous and selfish it was of the cancer patient to even ask. 

nardasarmy(funkyhelix on jf) has written up a slightly longer but admirably complete and concise summary here, complete with instructions for how to ban the ones who've been trolling the dying woman's journal.  i just, i, wow.

fandom_wank leads to the unlikeliest places, like a mysteries of udolpho bag and got austen? bumpersticker which would be fabulous for my mom.

hahaha.  "it is a truth universally acknowledged that jane austen fans are prettier than danielle steele fans."

apparently shit is going down in lotr rps fandom.  i don't want to know any more about it than ces's summary can tell me, frankly.

hey everybody!  msa doesn't like my writing!

And the sex was terrible, too. In the cold, on the ground, no lube, no prep, for a first time? Um, not.

eta: woops, eso... aol wasn't blinking. >.> it does that a lot, actually. maybe i should try to fix it.

i bet she likes wax_jism's.  she used to have her friended, and then one time she commented and i made a sarcastic tinhat joke (but it was really funny.  begging for it.  and the subjects weren't related at all--that was the beauty of it) and said something about how freaky she was and.  talking to wax.  wax was all cowery ("is the kerfluffle over?"), while i was utterly gleeful that she gave a dignified "i see where i'm not wanted!" and unfriended her.  trala!

i MIGHT be halfway caught up with the fandom_wank drama.

the Creator* weighs in.

*of f_w

...okay. this is actually turning out to be funny.

::mouth drops open::

THIS appears right after fandom_wank goes down?

rules for those people who, like it or not, have become BNFs:  You are not allowed to have hurt feelings, you are not allowed to argue with someone, and you absolutely are not allowed to have an opinion.

If you get your feelings hurt, you deserve it, because there are other people whose names the fandom doesn't recognize whose feelings are also hurt and theirs count more because they're not popular. Also? It's funny when your feelings get hurt, because you've probably done something to deserve it.

...

wow.

wow.

i haven't read anything over on journalfen (other than some of the crystalwank when someone pointed me to the posthumous summary) since february. i used to read it every day.

pretty much everyone will understand that it was too much work wading through the unfunny and 'eh?' wanks from fandoms no one had ever heard of to get to the funny ones. wank was thin on the ground.

then i went there today to check out the new VB wank, and found very near the top the We Eat Our Own Wank! there's a closed leet community? there's a noob community? there's more grandstanding from sagralisse, and once again it's impossible to tell if she really means it, just wants the attention, or, in some twisted doublethink fashion, both? there's much seriousness and painful carefulness and disclaimers, and some stuff that could be legitimate defensiveness, or could be the lady protesting too much, from the accused leets (who aren't leets after all).

if the leet community settles down as a way to read just the funny and not the other stuff, i'm all for it. i guess i have to wait and see.
