OKAY YOU AND I HAVE GOT TO CLEAR SOME THINGS UP, STARTING WITH:

1) AJA IS A MEME DENIER!
- I AM NOT. I didn't leave the meme out of righteous indignation, I left b/c I was spending too much time there and didn't feel healthy and then I got rly busy. I never disliked you, (or you, Becky), and I was completely taken aback that suddenly there was all this Aja hate the next time you guys showed up on my LJ. The amount of vitriol was a bit :/-inducing, but then I know you guys are fickle.

2) CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND WE DON'T CARE?
- oh, please. If you can go for one day without suspecting I am there on the meme I might start believing that.

3) TENIPURI ANON MEME WAS NOT ABOUT YOU, YOU IDIOT.
- well, i know that now, but at the time i did not know you were randomly trolling all memes everywhere, and since you tend to track the fandoms i am in, and since it was right around the time you were semi-trolling my journal, it felt pretty personal. I am over it now.

4) I am not even going to go into how you move from thinking "Why do only the men drive the plot of HP?" means "I HATE WOMEN AND THE ONLY WOMEN I LIKE IN HP ARE THE VILLAINS." WHATEVER.

5) I like becky! I like rf! I like all of you, even when I am :/ and even when i am making a nuisance of myself. I just want to come and lurk every now and then and not have you guys COMPLETELY FREAK OUT BECAUSE YOU THINK I AM ON THE MEME. JESUS.

6) I didn't burn that stupid t-shirt to lead a massive fan revolt, I JUST WANTED TO BURN SOMETHING OKAY. I wanted to destroy my ties to LJ, and I loved that shirt, so I was like :-< I will set fire to it as a way of motivating myself to actually go through with leaving. And it wasn't supposed to be this big thing, i didn't even post it to my journal, i posted it where I thought no one would care. Of course it was wanky and silly, that is how i am. but it wasn't meant to be some OMG STATEMENT!!!!!!!!! Also, I laughed and laughed over Becky's parody.

7) The person who posted about receiving a letter was not me. The juvenile facility threader was me, and since I only post about my real life under heavy filter, I didn't expect anyone to make the connection between them and me. I was upset, and having someone decide to out me because of that did not make me less upset. It was not me trying to MAKE MY FUCKING PRESENCE KNOWN TO YOU. Jesus, look at the way I get shitpiled every time you guys think I am actually on the meme. Why would I want to bring that on myself when I could be happily lurking and posting lyricspam or something? Which I have been, more or less, doing for weeks now.

That's all. If I have forgotten something, you can tell me about it here, but I'm screening comments because you will probably be pissed off that I made this post. that's okay. I just wanted to defend myself against your ire, because I mostly consider myself to be one of you, and always have.

P.S. MY ICONS ARE AWESOME.

HI HI it is okay! it was not really you, it was whoever decided that I was behind those comments when I was not, because everything was fine before people decided I was on the meme. Which I was! But I wasn't trying to be on the meme as myself.

I LIKE YOUR USERNAME AND YOUR CAT. :/ also i really want to see kat-tun bowling pics and i suspect i will have to go to kattunlove to get them.

:/

Also, when you defriended me I pretty much took that as a 'I DISLIKE YOU' kind of thing, which really quite pissed me off because I thought we were friends at that point even though we disagreed about um...most things. (I AM VERY PROTECTIVE OF THE MEME, I CAN'T HELP IT, I LOVE IT SO MUCH) but then things were explained to me last night and I can see where you were coming from at the time.

So....for a while now I've had kind of a simmering loathing for you at the back of my mind and God knows, I still disagree with you on many things (LIKE THE WISDOM OF THIS POST FOR EXAMPLE) but...I think we could be friends! We have similar interests! We overreact epicly! (THE MEME STARTED CALLING ME 'AKIRA!WIFE' AFTER I ACCIDENTALLY GOT LOL SENSTIVE WHEN PEOPLE SAID THEY STOPPED WATCHING NOBUTA BECAUSE AKIRA ANNOYED THEM SO MUCH. HOW COULD THEY SAY THAT? IT MAKES NO SENSE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, YOU WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD :( )

Um....yes so um...hi? :D

I can try and upload the pictures for you, they are trufax cute except for the sad part of them, I can only locate the kame ones on my HD and I know I have the Ueda and other people ones somewhere.

(ps. i don't mind you unscreening my comments :) )

I TRIED TO COMMENT TO THIS TODAY AND I KEPT GETTING DISTRACTED AT WORK. WORK. D: I KEPT THINKING YESTERDAY I WOULD JUST SEE YOU ONLINE AND TALK TO YOU THEN. :(

ALSO I am not really trying to attention whore all over your meme! :(( I GOT CARRIED AWAY WITH EAGERNESS TO POST AND WAS ALL :o WHAT WHY CAN'T I POST WHAT DOES IT MEAN. I figured since the meme had been nice to me lately it would be HOBVIOUS that i was just eager and excited WHICH I WAS. WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THAT I AM MANIPULATIVE, BECKY. :( I HAVE HEARD THIS FOR YEARS AND I STILL DON'T GET IT.

i think mostly i just want to have the freedom to be myself on the meme, but it sucks because whenever i post things anonymously people guess that they are me, and then i look like i'm trying to be obvious, but i'm not really! people just know me well enough to know what kinds of things i like to talk about. like THANK GOD YOU LIKE NOBUTA NOW SO I CAN TALK ABOUT IT WITHOUT THE MEME AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMING I AM ME. I was afraid this would happen with bump of chicken as well which is why i didn't want to mention it at first, and even saying "I can't say X or you'll know who I am" will make people GTFO AJA at me, so it's like I can't TRY NOT TO ATTENTION WHORE without looking like i'm attention-whoring, and blaaaaaaaaaah this was pretty much the state i was in when i left the meme ages ago. ultimately, i just want the meme and i to be friends, but i want to be able to be myself too. :-< it's just, my self seems to be out there so publicly that people think pieces of it are purposely on display. When really I just want to be me and be anonymous all at once. A strange battle. BUT I CAN WORK WITH SIMMERING LOATHING :/ I HAVE WORKED WITH WORSE!

just, you know. :-< sorry and all that.

We can call it even, I did make a video just to mock you after all.

Epon and I have a strategy where we just make the meme like our interests! It turns out if you talk about something for long enough the meme absorbs the information and will talk about it with you. ALSO, THERE IS A N00B TO NOBUTA MOUSE JUST STARTING WATCHING IT. Hopefully me and another mouse did not scare them off with our fight about whether Shuuji or Akira was a better character. I THINK WE MAY HAVE DONE THOUGH, SINCE THIS WAS A WEEK OR SO AGO AND THEY HAVEN'T MENTIONED IT SINCE.

AND AND. IT'S NOT JUST ME WHO TALKS ABOUT YAMAPI NOW! SURE, THEY'RE KIND OF MOCKING ME, BUT IT ALL HELPS THE ANONYMITY! PLUS, IT'S VERY EASY TO SOCKPUPPET AND PRETEND THERE ARE MORE OF YOU THAN THERE ARE.

Possibly I meme too much. EVERYONE ALWAYS GUESSES MY COMMENTS STILL. ALWAYS. um...I mean..I'm sure you can be anonymous! I have faith! \o/

First of all, what's with all the screened and deleted posts? o_O

Secondly, the more you try to defend yourself to the meme, the more they're going to "LOL DEFENSIVE" at you. You know that, right?

Hi, there. I wanted to reply to you here because I don't want you to think that my keeping the comment screened initially was personal. It wasn't, at all - I was screening all comments by default. I was just too distracted to reply to everyone (I typically am), and didn't want any of my friends to be dogpiled by anonymice.

And yes, being defensive on the meme is never ever a good move. After last night though I think I've reached my wank tolerance for about the next year at least, and will renew my efforts to keep to myself and just chase the mice in my fandoms around.

Anyway! Hope all is well and that you aren't too worn out from all the overreacting. ;)

AJA. AFTER CAVING AND SIGNING UP, I HAVE BEEN CHECKING YOUR WORDPRESS SADLY FOR LIKE. A WEEK OR SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW. AND ALL ALONG, YOU HAVE BEEN HERE.

Also, lame meme is lame. I always have this idea to go check it when I am bored and looking for some retardowank, but I have a capslock endurance of about two pages. And it is not even interesting!

The bizarre craze started about five years ago in the United States but it has now become such a huge global problem that a decision has been made to act.

But the move to shut down the sites has not been universally welcomed.

One online contributor recently wrote: "Some Harry Potter fans have had, for a long time, those kind of fantasies about the characters.

"Slash fans are not new nor rare. I understand that it goes against some policies to publish this kind of stuff but, again, people are allowed to have their own fantasies.

"If they can't put them on this website they'll just start one of their own."

A spokesman for AOL Time Warner, which owns the film rights to Harry Potter and which has been instrumental in cracking down on 'slash porn', said they were determined to maintain their character's image.

He added that it was their "moral obligation" to act: "This is especially true in the case of indecent infringement of any icon whose target audience is children."

"preserve their character's image."

It should either be the very top entry on ohnotheydidnt, or very close to the top. The post is about a Chinese publishing company putting out an eighth book, there's a picture of JKR. The slash part is under the cut.

I am quite happy with my :-? icon. But he always looks inordinately smug.
