Too effing funny by half.

Check out this comment. I'm thinking it was someone on mah flist, because out of the PAGES of comments they singled mine out to respond to (also, the ridiculous spelling, etc. looks like something someone who knows me would perpetrate just to annoy me).

'FESS. UP.

Subject: i love 'um !!! how could you!!

Somebody replied to a comment you left in a LiveJournal post. (BTW- READ IT, IT'S AWESOME) The comment they replied to was:

I was pointed to this post by someone on my flist, happened upon your comment, and may I say that if this lovefest has room for another I'd like to join. :D

Your comments made me laugh- I totally agree, and while Stephenie Meyer is not Person of Interest #1 for me, I just can't stan' her. :P

Their reply was:

Subject: i love 'um !!! how could you!!

Yesterday, I fear I had some texting malfunction in my reply to you. Know that my phone sucks for texting and I try to avoid that! I have only a passing understanding of what ARTOMATIC is, much less why I should have been there. Forgive me, I'm still zonked from my trip and long return drive!

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

I just heard your voice message. No worries at all! I was there and thought it was something you should experience. Clicky on the link in my last entry and check it out.

And if you have some time between now and the 15th, maybe we could see it together. I only got to the 2nd, 3rd, 7th and 9th floors, so there's lots more to see!

[eumelkeks.livejournal.com]

I think that might be legit. Misguided and moronic, yes, but legit. *rotfl*

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

But it's weird! I didn't say anything about Edward being "hidious" and for some reason, out of ALL the comments, someone singled ME out and went to town. What the hell?

I'm over it, and my response was very civil, but it's still... weird.

[eumelkeks.livejournal.com]

Dude, happens in the Feminism thread on CoS all the fucking time. Some random member comes in and accuses us of hating mothers. Not that anyone mentioned them.

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

Eh. I can live with that.

My first response to them was polite, but I followed it up with this:

By the way, if you want to be a really effective troll, you might learn to spell. Helps folks take you more seriously.

And I am not sorry. ;)

I should go to bed- it's 2:30am. See you later? (I logged on after the concert to make a few icons and decompress. Yagh.)

[eumelkeks.livejournal.com]

Fine by me. Have to go to work now anyway.

Night, John-Boy!

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

SO NO DISCUSSION OF TROLLS AND THE MERITS OF... Oh all RIGHT.

'Night Ma!

[deichrodler.livejournal.com]

You hate mothers in there? ZOMG!

I've no clue about that entry, Liz, but it amused me too. :lol:

[mad-tenshi.livejournal.com]

There will be a 5th book? They must be kidding!!!

[benchilada.livejournal.com]

A**E?

That can't even STAND for anything, mother****er

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

YEAH! F**KING MISSPELLING-ASS MOTHERF**KER!

Actually, it's "arse"- Britspeak for "ass". To hear it spoken, watch "Hot Fuzz". :)

[gahdzuks.livejournal.com]

Oh dear god. I really hope that's a joke. I really, really do. If not... the world is doomed. o_0

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

You think that spells do? Read the PM I just sent. Yikes, man.

[gahdzuks.livejournal.com]

*headdesk*
*repeat*

Sigh. We, as a species, are doomed. That's it. DOOMED.
On a slightly different note, why should his sexuality matter again? He's pretty. He's a good actor. He's funny. None of us will ever be in the position to know which way he swings. Why should it matter? That being said, why should it be something people can't discuss? As they said in the replies, they discuss every inch of his anatomy - why not his sexuality? I'm not saying they should, but the argument against such discussions is based upon flawed logic. Spock would not approve.
Now, I don't want to talk about it. I don't participate in groups like that for just such a reason - knowing too much about an actor ruins it for me. I prefer the mystique. But that doesn't mean that people shouldn't be allowed to whittle away their remaining brain cells discussing the minutiae of an actors life.
*shrugs* Our forefathers granted us freedom of speech.... though I have to wonder if they realized just how far we'd go with that. :)

[lucy-bird.livejournal.com]

lol great reply...tell her she needs to learn ho to spell :p

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

she needs to learn ho to spell :p

I did. And... um... honey? So do you. ;)

[lucy-bird.livejournal.com]

lol whoops....didn't spot that one....missed the e off the she first time too

[lucy-bird.livejournal.com]

and was more of a typo than a spelling mistake too

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

I know, I was teasing you. ;)

The first response to this person was "Please direct this to the OP. Thanks." because I'm too damn nice for my own good, apparently. I wish my kneejerk response had been more like yours, but I'm just not as fearless, I'm afraid.

[lucy-bird.livejournal.com]

yeah I know, kinda why I just added it.

Maybe you are nicer online than me...or maybe I actually wouldn't say it just think it

[kala-way.livejournal.com]

Did she put the stars in arse herself? That's funny!
Maybe if you read the books 5 times you'd see her point about stephinie's lovely charictors.

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

Apparently! It's wonderful she took the time to use the shift key for that bit, but couldn't be bothered to either spell correctly or use the shift key elsewhere. I'm called names, but she can't spell out "arse"? Get real, bb.

And yeah, I'm only on reading #2 and I'm not likely to make that mistake 3 more times, thnx much. Xp

[train-lindz.livejournal.com]

I wish it was me!

Though I'm not sneaky enough to post anonymously. I would have used my name - and then we could have faked ~drama and ended up on fandom_wank.

I think that shit it legit, though I think it may have been a case of her hitting reply to the wrong comment - nothing she bitched about poorly to you about had anything to do with your comment :D

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

I WISH IT WAS YOU TOO! EPIC!FANDOM WANK IS MY LIFE!

Yeah, the fact that it had nothing to do with me lead me to believe it was one of you jokers but in reality it was probably just a case of premature commentification. Which is so sad, you know, because they do have creams and meds for it. IT DOESN'T NEED TO HAPPEN!!!

[rlf-2583.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness, that's quite amusing. Sad, but amusing.

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

Emphasis on the "sad". I still don't understand why people think communicating in such a fashion is acceptable. If anything, I'm more inclined to discount the remarks of a person when they can't present themselves properly. Xp

[principia-coh.livejournal.com]

Having seen way too much of posts to communities on LJ, as much as I'd like to think that was a joke, it probably wasn't.

So wait a minute. You're telling me she is now going to redo the existing books from Edward's point of view and people are going to pay her for it as though it's actually new content?

If JK Rowling tried to rewrite her series from, say, Hermione's perspective and pass that off as new material, people would freak.

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

You're telling me she is now going to redo the existing books from Edward's point of view and people are going to pay her for it as though it's actually new content?

Honey, it's worse. She'd already started the 5th book- retelling the first book from Edward's POV- when someone snagged a PDF of it and spread it around, and when the author found out what had happened, she threw a hissy fit, hereafter known as a "Smantrum" (Stephenie Meyer= Smeyer+ tantrum= Smantrum) and announced that LIFE IS HARD and that WRITING IS HARD and that SHE FELT THAT SHE'D BEEN EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED and could not longer finish the book. Millions of fans were devastated apathetic.

And yeah, you hit the nail on the head. But Twi-hards are a whole different breed, apparently.

[principia-coh.livejournal.com]

...LIFE IS HARD and that WRITING IS HARD and that SHE FELT THAT SHE'D BEEN EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED and could not longer finish the book.

So, uh, so much for trying to go toe-to-toe with Stephen King, eh?

I will give the publisher credit for doing a very good job of packaging and promoting the series. The cover design for the books is gorgeous and memorable. It's too bad it's being used to package the literary equivalent of a flaming bag of dog poo.

So, basically, someone got a hold of a galley copy, was probably offended as hell that this was going to be published and she was going to be paid some ridiculous sum for it, and spread it around to make the general public aware of how creatively void this chick is?

So if she can't finish the book, does that mean she has to return her advance? XD

More like she knew Breaking Dawn was a raging failure and leaked it so that folks would love her again and then SNATCHED THE PRIZE AWAY.

So if she can't finish the book, does that mean she has to return her advance? XD

If only. Wouldn't it be nice if she were literally bankrupt the way her writing is bankrupt of sense, substance and... Yeah, I'm her biggest fan. ;D

Were I a parent, I would let my teenage daughter read Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles before I would let her crack the cover of any of the Twilight "books."

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're not alone on that one, believe me. I think as a writer Rice is more adept and that her vampires are more, well, real. Meyer's are Mary Sues. If I want that sort of writing I've still got all my old Sweet Valley High books to share...

EVEN HIS BREATH IS AMAZING

The catalog from that post is beyond hilarious.
