My evening in hell.

[emilytheslayer]

Went to the Something Positive meet and greet tonight. I almost forgot, actually. Well, I did forget, and was reminded when I went to see if he'd put a new comic up. It was fun, not as crowded as I'd feared, and Randy is adorable and charming and drew me a picture of Aubrey spitting out coffee, and a special present for frelghra, even though he didn't

*envy* I really like Something Positive. It would be cool to meet Randy.

[emilytheslayer]

He's not like you'd expect. Much more bouncy and enthusiastic, and better at hiding his general disdain for the rest of the world. :)

[emilytheslayer]

Oh no shit. Which is why I kept my inner Aubrey to myself and gave him a tiny dose of sweetness and light. Poor guy probably needed one person not to be a jackass.

Fans are probably the worst part of being famous. And what's wrong with the Green Line? I used to love taking it when I went to BU!
Did the chick behind you ever stop talking?

[emilytheslayer]

Nothing's wrong with the Green Line, she's just a bitch who thinks it's cool to hate everything. And no, she never stopped talking. Luckily, most of it was to the guy behind her, when I kept not responding.

[lynxreign]

Shame the guy behind her responded. People like that can get pretty amusing when no-one is talking to them. It doesn't shut them up, but they start saying the strangest things.

[emilytheslayer]

Yeah, he was kind of twinky, so they had fun discussing how everything was crap. I hummed Dance Hall Crashers songs under my breath, mostly the bits about driving me to drink, and stayed in my own space.

I used to lurk around the Something Positive community, but I never said anything, because everyone would just pounce on newbies and tear them to shreds in a really obvious attempt to make Randy think he had met his soulmate in withering sarcasm. Even the moderator would pick on people, and then everyone would fawn over what a 'Queen Bitch' she was/how similar to Aubrey, etc, etc.

This reminds me of a story I heard about Jhonen Vasquez (who also has a lot of arsehole fans). Apparently, he had just bought out his first batch of t-shirts and he saw this guy wearing one, so he went up to the guy and said "nice t-shirt!", and the guy just sneered at him and walked off without a word. It just goes to show that being nice is best!

[emilytheslayer]

And that's hilarious, because Randy was being really nice to everyone. And Aubrey's only mean to people who deserve it, mostly. :)
