| 1:26 am | Stayin' Alive Method Number Three Hundred Fifty-One of Staying Awake while Sick and Exhausted: Post to JournalFen! :D |

| 1:55 am | Hoshiz. JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THE INTERNET WAS SAFE— Well, okay, no one thought that. Scamming money, sockpuppetry, fake dead parents (and puppy), fake pictures, possibly even a fake ("real life") name. Summary: -PI BNF posts random drama, is friends with many. Her boyfriend, who is just as adorable and "emo" as she is, is also on PI, as is her sister. -PI BNF says "I can't tell mom about PayPal! She'll kill me!" -PI BNF and boyfriend leave PI, supposedly for good -PI BNF buys PI currency with USD amounting to hundreds of dollars -PI BNF takes back her USD/does not have money to cover any of her purchases, sending several other BNF-y PIers into the negative on PayPal -PI Feedback Forum reports one case, then two, then five, and so on -PI Feedback Forum users reveal inconsistencies in past drama as well as names used in PayPal -users report that PayPal is telling them not to try and get their money back, as it would be "nearly impossible" -PI BNF also apparently took back her money on an account renewal for actual PI Holy horseshit, Batman! All that just to get some extra fake online currency. Wowza! |

| 7:58 pm | Well. I guess I'll make sure to never, ever include lesbian characters in any TV show or film I ever write for. 'Cause, you know, it'd just be a cheap ratings ploy. If I hint at it ahead of time to maybe show character progression or, you know, explain it, I'm obviously just teasing the audience so everyone will tune in for the lesbian sex! And if I don't hint at it ahead of time, then GAWD, that's just stupid, because obviously this other character over here was SOOO much more gay and that's not pandering to stereotypes at all, is it? I swear to God, every single fucking day I feel more like I'm just getting ready for a trial in a case I'm doomed to be found guilty in. Every time I turn a corner I hear someone else saying "This sucked so hard!" and it's getting to the point where it seems the only films that don't suck are ones made by old white male directors who've already established themselves, though obviously they will never be better than the ones they used to make. And only sometimes, then. And they have to be the same genre and the same kind of characters. They have to be gritty and edgy. Fuck it. I'm tired of having to second-guess everything I fucking like and want to do. I'm in this for me and I swear to God I am going to do it my way. People will hate me for it no matter what. And, hyperbole, but still — it's like the only way to be hated more than a politician is to be involved in film or television and not be an actor. Yeah, some actors get to share the glory, but generally people will even be more amicable to them even if they say out loud that they suck. Yeah, I'm kind of feeling bitter. I hate being seen as a rabid Joss fan, but I think most of the reactions in the above thread are ridiculous. Kind of funny that with such vitriol, though, most people still seem to have a great idea of all his work and can remember individual episodes of Buffy better than I can. What the hell — if you had so many problems with an episode made almost a decade ago, why didn't you stop watching then? |

| 2:04 am | Me = Fail! Okay, so like ninety-five percent of the movie-going populace seems to agree that my taste sucks ass. Also, I kind of got smackdowned today because I haven't read Dante and I'm apparently not allowed to express and interest in writing until I have. There were three requirements, actually: Homer, Dante, and Shakespeare. ... Yeeeaaah. I didn't bother expressing my disagreement. CLEARLY I AM A PLEBE. :[ Well, I suppose I shall fail spectacularly all my life. |

| 10:01 pm | !!! F!S Because I won't talk about it there. I just... I have to say this: Number 19? LOL OPPRESHUN! Anyone who whines about feeling so alooone and heeelpleeess because they don't slash is just... a total loser. Total. Thirty-two is in the same line, but not bad. I mean, it's a case of not having a similar hobby, and also of slash fans expecting non-slash fans to jump on them and being guarded about it. Still. Slash isn't oppressing you. No, really. Oh, and look, there's forty-one, too. Talk about putting slash fans (or yaoi, as the case may be) in a box. XP Say it with me now: Slashing is not a method of oppression! Aaand repeat! |

| 5:36 am | WHAT WHAT It's like the internet is exploding. People are wanking about a character being mean to a character who tried to kill her. People are wanking about whether or not a quote can be funny unless context is known. PEOPLE ARE WANKING ABOUT PONIES. I know, I know, it's the internet, and am I new here or what, but it seems like I've found myself sliding rather unsuspectingly into it more and more often this... well, just this weekend! And I'm no virginal wank-free flower, either. (Well, not on the internet, anyway.) It's... it's madness, is what it is. Like Sparta. Spartaaa. I guess the crazy part in the last two cases is that I thought the people in those situations were generally friendly to each other and well aware of how to avoid wank (well, in the last case one side was supposedly able to, but has proven me so, so wrong there), and in the first and last the subject... it just boggles my mind. It really does. In more pleasant news, I just saw the Avatar: The Last Airbender pilot episode. It filled me with enough glee that I wasn't entirely sad about the non-appearance of new episodes. (I should get used to it, I suppose; it can't be long before the well is dried up in terms of television scripts, and Late Night might become my last refuge.) In other pleasant news, After School Nightmare! Also Death Note, as I've recently started watching the anime. The bad: they are so very far apart. D: D: D: A month or two in one case, and at least a week in the other. I probably won't sleep tonight. :O |

| 4:32 am | For Safekeeping Should it become bigger: http://community.livejournal.com/custom Yeah, I know. CS wank comes ten for a penny. |

| 4:46 pm | Guys Seriously, Doctor Who wank, at least of the Doctor's companion type, is seriously boring. :[ I wish the mice on ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif){kind=small} wank_report would just forget it and that it could not be posted on fandom_wank for, like, a year. Or ever. |

| 3:26 am | Bwaha! wank_report's been getting a bit of spam recently, from sex sites to weight loss pills. The norm, really. There's a bit on Engrish in them, though, and I loves me some Engrish.Good afternoon! Have you ever tried to loose weight fast? You may do exercises but the fastest method is cheap phentermine i guess. Phentermine is the most powerful weight loss pill that could save you a lot of time. You may get cheap phentermine (http://web.archive.org/web/20070701060 There is no need for prescription cause you may purchase cheap phentermine without prescription online. Does anyone already tried these pills ? My favorite part? "but the fastest method is cheap phentermine i guess." Way to have faith in your product! "We're the best! ...I guess. You should buy our stuff, maybe. We might be kind of good! I'm not really sure, I've never tried it. I use this other stuff." |

| 12:26 pm | LOL ILLITER8 In the continuing story of the Scrubs slash copycat, we have accusations of illiteracy because I misread the name and bio (well, switched them, really). And "gosh," we're all idiots! "MAN!" So, yeah, I'm guessing either this is Xce-ntrix and she's running out of steam and falling back on the same insults every author with a paper-thin ego does, or it's a troll who is/has been masquerading as the author to oh-so-cleverly trick us. Because, yeah, if you claim to be the author while signing anonymously, we're idiots to even think it could be possible or to dare addressing you as the person you claim to be! LAWL. I just don't get people like this. How on Earth can they see this as "winning" at all? It just makes me think of Wimp Lo from Kung Pow. "I am bleeding, making me the victor!" and "Try my nuts to your foot style!" Because clearly, when you make yourself look like an idiot on the internet, just like when you jump out from behind a wall and shout "BOOGA BOOGA," you are Teh Winnarz 4EVAR. EDIT: Also, I'm pretty sure that if we could check, we'd find that almost all, if not every single one of those comments posted anonymously were from one person. :P |

| 10:52 pm | Plagiarism So this "author" on Fanfiction.Net — Xce-ntrix (OH MY GOD that's worse than my username) — has been copying fic and replacing a few names and pronouns and, here and there, actually adding a few words of her own and putting it up on fanfiction.net. Unfortunately, I could only find two of the originals, and someone else found another. I've been running them through Google, and I'm not real convinced that the others are hers still, but I don't know where else to go to let people know, because she's spreading it out over several fandoms — she makes the stories into Scrubs slash, but she's stolen from Firefly het, CSI het, and original slash (though that one's already been removed). I wish there was some "all fandoms on alert!" thing I could blare it through (though God knows that if there was such a thing, it'd be abused like fuck). Two of the stories weren't even originally on ff.net. :/ Blaaarg. EDIT: Now she's sexihardworker and I can't be sure if any of those are her stories or not; it's possible that those ones are the ones she actually wrote herself, since they were the ones I couldn't identify on the other account, but it's also possible those are only up because they're the ones I couldn't identify. :/ She took the bottom of her profile out, removed the "Xce" from the beginning of each title, and took Kipli out of her favorite authors... Hm. |

| 12:38 am | Actually posting! Wa-hey! I have no idea what's going on, but whatever it is, it's amusing. I shamefully admit that I've started checking MySpace again, eagerly looking forward to news of Zach Braff or Yoshiki updating their blogs or any musicians coming to the city. In doing so, I've become somewhat aware of something I'm not sure I wanted to know, but can't unlearn now: Kenna is a complete freak. Now, I still love his music. Siren has been something of a thing for me recently, though everything from New Sacred Cow is still pretty damn awesome. Normally I don't look much at bulletins. Aside from the memes my friend occasionally puts up, it's mostly just ramblings from the various celebrities/semi-celebrities I've got "friended" on there that really don't tend to offer a lot of information I'm interested in. However, Kenna recently posted a bulletin about his song, Out of Control, being free on iTunes. (I haven't gotten it because... well, I'm too lazy to deal with iTunes. If it were downloadable anywhere else, I'd have done it. And yes, I tried LimeWire. It hates me and even though it shows hundreds of results, none of them work for me. Boo.) I opened up the bulletin to see if there was more info, and... Well, he was complaining about the low ratings it was getting. Okay, that sucks, sure, but it's a little unprofessional, but I can't expect everyone to be a completely reasonable person all the time, and bigger celebrities get away with a lot worse, so, you know, whatever. Except. Well, okay, first of all, he types in all caps. Please stop screaming at me, Kenna. I can hear you just fine. But it was just made all the more "Oh my God, is this REALLY what he's like?" when the accusation was thrown out that all the bad reviews were coming from Josh Groban fans. I'm going to look into this. Does he have some beef with Josh Groban and/or his fans? Is he just completely insane? Is he trying to make up a fake beef to increase his publicity and popularity? I find it funny, all in all, especially since he has now apparently dubbed it the "iTunes saga" (or, okay, "THE ITUNES SAGA") and continues to rant in bulletins. Oh, Kenna. You so crazy. But I still love your songs to death. And, ahaha: "YOU GOTTA LOVE ME A LITTLE TO HATE ME AT ALL" Kenna, if I didn't love you already, I'd never listen to your music after reading that. That's Chancery Stone-esque. Also, I like how you posted the same bulletin about how Josh Groban fans are "killing" you twice, with a slightly different header so that we would think something more happened. You so silly. October sixteenth! New CD! Must have! How long have you made me wait, damn it? OH MAN. He's going to be here on the twenty-second of October. MAYBE I SHALL SEE HIM, THEN. MAYBE. Even though at this point I might just be attempted to start giggling at him. But, then again, it looks like he's just opening for someone...? So maybe not. I'm not real interested in paying for a whole show just to see an opening act. Okay, so a quick Google search is turning up nothing but the pages of people who listen to both Josh Groban and Kenna. WHAT IS THIS MYSTERIOUS PROBLEM THEY HAVE? Oh, well. It's still fun. Please get on, Yoshiki, and ramble as though you aren't an adult. Please. It brings me great joy. |

| 11:01 pm | Uno. First post! Only post to this personal journal, probably. Howdy, in any case. |
