Friendzy!

I thought I'd do something the lovely [livejournal.com profile] boxsofrain did a bit ago, and declare a Friendzy (Friending frenzy!). Actually I'm not sure she intended for it to work out quite like this but it did: (1) answer the following questions in a comment; (2) As Boxes says, "Also to make this more fun, feel free to read other peoples comments and reply to them with something nice about them. ... Make friends, add each other, mingle, just please be nice." (3) extra points if you mention the Friendzy in your own LJ and send people over to the party! (=

Ha. I think most people will remember that was MY post for a long, long time, unfortunately.

hmmmmmm considering the comments preceding this one I'm highly curious what this post of yours you're referring to is about.. o_O

You mean you missed my infamous Week 2 post? No wonder you don't hate me.

Week 2

I'm seeing a post titled Week 1 and a post titled Week 3 ... did you delete it or am I just not seeing it? /=

Ah, I took that monster private after the voting was over.

Ha. I'm sure you can find the gist of it in [livejournal.com profile] sf_drama, if you really want to hate me. Hopefully you won't hate me as much as the person who wanted to "fuck her with a hot curling iron."

Cut / paste + email it to me? I'm really curious /=

yeah, I keep waiting to see if you top the 8000 comments you got. I'm not sure there is any way you can do it. It's a delicate balance to upset people in a way that they feel the need to spout off, as opposed to just write you off as a crazy. That onfire4thelord dude wrote something about being gay means you're going to hell once and it mostly went ignored.

I stopped commenting back around the time it topped 100 comments, but it really did max out closer to 1,200, for what it's worth. And there were at least two commenters in there rabidly arguing back and forth against several others, so that probably accounted for a good chunk of the total volume.

I suppose I just managed to piss off a whole bunch of groups, instead of just targeting one or two.

Mental note with star: enter the competition under a different journal next year.

are you kidding...some of these people take their time on LJ and in Idol seriously...they'd track your IP and out your real identity by the third week. Possibly while calling you a coward and saying you were trying to hide something by using a fake journal, and then bringing up your past entry. A better solution is to go the opposite way and just offend more people. Some topics to consider:

Why I Hate Muslims (not the radical ones, just the ordinary kind)

Do All Female Politicians Have To Look Frumpy?

Homeless People Belong in Jail

I was thinking more along the lines of:

The First Time I Decapitated a Puppy

Hey, Fattie - You're a Lazy, Worthless Human Being

Or I could just write a new sexist joke each week and work in the phrasing of the topic.

[identity profile] superhappytime.livejournal.com 2008-12-04 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, the last one would definitely do it. As long as it's against other women. Men don't seem to take offense to sexism...but woman on woman hate...that will draw the ire of the masses. A vaguely educated sounding essay that correlates a rise in crime to women joining the workforce might cause hellfire to rain down upon you.

The word fattie might do it, too...I think I edited that one out of Vanity post.

Oh yeah... the only thing worse than being the man in that situation is to be a traitor.

I think the essay would be brilliant. I might just write it now and hold it in reserve. I'd credit you, of course.

[identity profile] superhappytime.livejournal.com 2008-12-04 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
oh, crediting me would probably only serve to discredit you...deserved or not, I seem to have a reputation mostly built on rumor in Idol that doesn't entirely fit me, but does lead to people not taking me too seriously. Which is probably a good thing. I only tend to get one "are you a prick?" comment a month now....

Good point. In the spirit of this week's topic, I will just allude to my amazing mentor instead.
