but people are being wrong on the internet!

[giddygeek]

My coworkers are having themselves a flamewar with anons on our website. They're so proud--they keep saying, "Refresh. Refresh. I just posted something awesome. Did you refresh? Wasn't what I said awesome? ...Aww man, I just got salad dressing on my crotch."

That's actually a direct quote. Oh, Intern B.

But I'm totally judging them. I'm over here like, noobs, did you ever ask a Sentinel smarm mailing list what the difference was between smarm and slash? No? Okay then. Step away from your petty disagreements. Go see what I said in that other argument. Wasn't what I said awesome?

They're not listening. They're all too busy hitting F5.

hee. fandom really teaches you everything about the internet you ever need to know.

PS. what IS the difference between smarm and slash, giddy?

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

I never actually learned what the difference was. o.O The response boiled down to 'this is smarm because despite the naked cuddling, the souls touching, their lifematedness, and Blair's big curly hair, they're actually totally straight, duh, what's so confusing about that?!???!'

But I refused to believe that, because I had seen the show, and I knew better. *G*

We missed you on Saturday! *hugs*

I missed YOU GUYS on Saturday! It sounds like we got up to some very similar shenanigans, however.

And next Saturday is coming, yay!

I hope you're feeling better, dude. *hugs*

"Refresh. Refresh. I just posted something awesome. Did you refresh? Wasn't what I said awesome? ...Aww man, I just got salad dressing on my crotch."

I think if anyone could read my mind that would be my internal monologue word-for-word. \o/

OMG, I should introduce you and Intern B. and then watch you navigate dinner & the internet. FUN FOREVER. <3

N00bs. ;)

They're all the same! <3<3<3

I'm still confused by smarm. It was legion though in Sentinel for a while. I think its like...platonic naked cuddling.

[bayleaf.livejournal.com]

Right, something I *totally* do with all my platonic friends. Wait, no. I've never done that ever.

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU SAID LAST NIGHT. D:

[bayleaf.livejournal.com]

heeehee! That's just the way its gotta be, giddy!

[kaneko.livejournal.com]

Heee -- I <3 you!

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

I <3 you toooooo. And I miss you! *clings* Time zones, why you gotta be like this???

Because slash is character assassination and naked cuddling and soulmatedness and long walks on the beach aren't. Silly.

Thank you for the big smile this afternoon.

[giddygeek.livejournal.com]

Oh, I FORGOT that it was character assassination, since I was all caught up in how it was, you know, the next best thing to canon. *grins* Thank you for reminding me!

And you're welcome. They were cracking me up a little--I had to share. ;-)
