I remember now why I more or less left Livejournal
I had forgotten exactly how bitchy and childishly attention-whoring the lovely anime/manga/jpop/etc. community can be, especially when dealing with American fans...
However a member (or ex-member since they're now banned) of the vampire_knight community has completely reminded me.
I don't generally care much if someone takes a bitchy tone in a comment left to me, however it does annoy me a bit if they do it in my own journal (okay, my old one not this one but still) and they do it anonymously and they have previously been given a warning following a complain by another member of the community about continued harrassment.
To then go on to call me "blind", "a dumb selfish twat" and to tell me to "fuck off" and accuse me of harrassing them by leaving a comment in their journal about their comment in mine is one way to ensure that you're banned from my community while giving me hours of enjoyment at your expense of exactly how sad and pathetic you are while trying to figure out whether you're about 10 years old or simply a little bit 'special'. Great fun.
However, anyway, yes, this incident has reminded me of exactly why I stopped looking on anime/manga/jpop forums and such outside of the BAC forum. While they may be generally full of nice enough people too large a minority for me to care for is made up entirely of arrogant assholes who need to do something other than spend their lives bitching on the internet, it is pointless.
In other news I went to the Crown Court today with my law class. We only watched one case, however it was quite interesting (when I wasn't outside coughing my head off) and resulted in the case being thrown out because the evidence pointed to the complainant being more guilty than the defendant for the ABH. We actually spoke briefly to the defendent and his family afterwards (we were in the same lift and they spoke to us first) and they seemed quite nice, I felt sorry for the guy having been charged with that since from the evidence heard it was quite clear he did not start the fight and shouldln't have been prosecuted.
But yes, if you enjoy looking in on other people's misfortune then the Crown Court is a fun enough day out. Just be sure not to take cameras, turn off your phone and not leave the court room while the judge is speaking or you could possibly be imprisoned for a month for contempt of court... I do wonder if one of my ever giggly classmates got in trouble... Okay... I'm not that evil.
Also I am busy looking for another job in Portsmouth as I can't fully afford to stay there with only my current job. Also keeping an eye out for Ben as well since he really needs a job.
Speaking of which did I mention that Ben has his moments of being the sweetest person in the world when he doesn't intend to be? Not that he knows why I'm saying this, nor will I share it with him or anyone else, he just is.
I'm looking forward to staying in Pompey over summer. While it means that I won't get to see some of my friends in Bristol it also means that I won't have to see/deal with various people that irritate me either and who I would love to never have anything to do with again but unfortunately can't avoid it. Too bad I'll have to see them again in September. :/
But then after that I only have to deal with them for one more year and then hopefully never again.
I finish college this week, I want to go out and do something however I can't due to college and work and Ben being broke and unwilling to do anything this weekend. I will live howevr and possible do something some other time... dunno when/where but I will...
