In the beginning, God created Livejournal, and it was good. And everyone was happy in their journals, and had pixellated userpics and used textspeak to their hearts' content. Then, one day, a little snake found its way into Livejournal. The snake wound its way through all the journals it could find, and in all the journals, it laid eggs. The eggs were called Drama. These eggs were not like other eggs, for some would take years to hatch, while others would take minutes. But hatch they did, and soon Livejournal was full of bickering, elitism and bitchery. And it was still good, yet suddenly reminded a lot of people of school. And Livejournal continued along its way, with the Drama spreading and spreading until everyone who owned a Livejournal had been touched by it at some point or another, and it often entirely failed to be good. But knowledge is part of creation, and part of knowledge is the realisation that nothing stays pure, innocent and untarnished forever. There comes a time when we have to accept that we made the world this way, and now we have to live in it.
