First, a moment for me to lavish compliments, squees and laughter upon the admins for not only putting chain letters in an announcement, but doing it in such a hysterical way. rofl

Now then. Serious business. Mmhm. I've been up to my ears in chain letters since the announcement, which is impressive because I was pretty sure no one knew who I was. Plus I tend to be found in parts of the site where people do not send chain letters because they are [insert long, tedious, ponderously-worded late-teenage overintellectualized reason why chain letters are uncool here]. I've realized that while this is kind of annoying for the obvious reasons, this is going to make wonderful fodder for my article. I've also realized that I have never, ever seen an intelligible name in a chain letter quote-vortex. It is invariably someone who thinks there is at least one "i" in "baby" but not in "grl/gurl," a mangled character from a popular anime/kids' subculture of the moment (inuyahsa_demon_wolf69247, anyone? I think there might actually be a user by that name. I am too afraid to look), or someone whose name features more non-letter characters (You know, people with .~.`+||+'.~. flanking their name, or those brackets that ******** up quoting) than actual letters in the name itself. Plus the letters are always trying to make me go to some Chatterbox party full of people I do not know, or con me into "rping liek a high school were yuo have a bf/gf redface " or make my heart bleed all over my keyboard with mountains of doctored images and stirring accusations but no proof whatsoever. No. I do not want your cheap, brainburning spam. This suggests many things to me, but I'm too burnt-out and terrified to seriously test them. Mostly it has to do with age and a sliding scale of resistance to thinking. I'm not sure what the point of this is, other than to state I have been wading through the offspring of Chainey for a few days and it's really quite terrible in that "I am losing brain cells, oh sweet God why?!" kind of way.

On that note, should I ever, ever receive any kind of chain mail from anyone on my friends list, I will stomp your a** flat. Not only are you not supposed to in a big way, it annoys me in a way few things do. Blargagagagah, fear my wrath! So with that, once more into the breach with me. crying
