Rant: In Which I Seriously Lose My Shit and Piss off a Lot of People in the Process

Jul 06, 2005 00:42

Really. No doubt about it. Shit in the process of being lost as we speak.

( I have a new credo. It is crass and mean and wrong and offensive as hell. Wanna see? )

Unless your story is called “Cock on a Hot Tin Roof”

I love you.

It is entirely mutual, believe me.

*fervently embraces co-religionist, assuming you are one, and even if you are not, the goddess of smut loves you anyway*

*snuggles back* I try, though admittedly only the first few apply to me as I've not written anything above... erm... PG-13? *is crap at writing sex*

*realises that she broke Rule #1 about five times in that last reply*
*hides*

Oh my f*cking god that was hilarious. I found myself nodding along and muttering, "See? That's what I've been saying!" I'm cackling over here. You've driven me to actual loud, squawky cackling. Thank you so much, for I was having a craptastic evening and you've just brightened it considerably.

May I link to this in my journal and recommend it for mirth value?

May I link to this in my journal and recommend it for mirth value?

Definitely, and thank you for wanting to. (You never have to ask to link to anything in this LJ, but I always appreciate hearing about it if you do. It feeds, you know, the ego-monster in the basement, who I try to keep quiet but who is mostly...not very quiet, actually.)

And I'm happy to have improved your craptastic evening. And also happy to hear I'm not the only one sitting here being all curmudgeonly, hissing under my breath, "How much would one comma have slowed you down, speed writer?"

I post these rants mostly to make sure I'm not alone in my pedantry. Which apparently I'm not, at least not this time. YAY!

Oh no, you're certainly not alone. In fact, I think you'd have a great deal of fun over on the Godawful Fanfic forums. You know, where they find really truly hideous stories (usually on ff.net) and spork them mercilessly, and laugh at the bad until it's not so bad, just funny.

I am trying very hard to laugh quietly. Very quietly. Dear lord, funny.

thefourthvine July 6 2005, 01:05:28 UTC

*hugs you, but very very quietly*

(And thank you.)

malnpudl July 6 2005, 00:57:04 UTC

Amen!

Sing it, sister!

thefourthvine July 6 2005, 01:07:17 UTC

*testifies*

(And thank you! I am definitely feeling the love tonight, which is good, because I sort of feared this was a Rant Too Far, if you know what I mean.)

>>>>Would you wear a bra on your head and panties on your feet? Well, OK, I see your point there. Bad example. Because, really, who wouldn't?

that kills me

wonderful, wonderful rant

thefourthvine July 6 2005, 01:10:06 UTC

Is this the wrong time to confess that it took my parents several months to teach me-aged-three that panties did not go on my head?

Yeah, probably. I suspect it undermines my credibility to a substantial degree.

Still, it is the truth, and who am I to deny it?

(And thank you. I'm happy you liked the rant, and I hope my confession doesn't make you sorry you said so.)

nysick July 6 2005, 01:17:51 UTC

'course not (is that an inapproperiate use of a contraction? *grin*)

besides panties are naturally confusing, yes?
