If you want to laugh while you shoot yourself, may I recommend Fan Fiction Friday? [ETA: It’s been pointed out that people need more warning for this link, so here goes: DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK. Unless you want to scar yourself forever by reading the worst fanfics in the world, ranging in topic from waterworks to pedophilia. Seriously.]

lol
omg, I llllove your blog.
Thank you. :)
PS: What do you see in the Americanization of Mental Illness Rorschach picture? I see two angels and two hoags.
I guess I’m pretty boring since I see two eagles and two Uncle Sams (assuming that that’s exactly what they want us to see).
I’m not finished yet with all the links but I must express my sincere dislike for “Storm” by Tim Minchin. It is even slightly misogynistic. Honestly I’d prefer sitting next to Storm over sitting next to Tim for a dinner party. I mean, c’mon, why this rant, and why in rhymes and why do you have to crash the whole party and why usw this clichè with the good-looking young woman who is oh-so-stupid? *gnah*
PS: I was assuming that the angels and hoags were exactly what they want us to see… That’s the thing with Rorschach – there’s a plethora of things you can see in them.
I don’t think that Storm is misogynistic – could you explain why you do?
And I do think it’s actually funny, and I honestly wouldn’t mind one of my friends going on such a tirade during dinner. For me it’s not “breaking up the party”.
And he’s not saying that Storm’s stupid, he’s saying that she believes stupid things.
I’m starting to believe that I’m seeing different pictures than you are in the Rorschach test – I don’t see angels anywhere…
[I know, I know. :)]
It was me posting und D’s account! (But I assume you knew?)
Now I’ve seen the eagles, too. But I failed at seeing uncle Sam.
The hoags(all in black) are on the bottom standing on their heads. The angels are above them (all in black).
The whole “Storm is so beautiful and I was looking forward to be with her until she started to talk” was getting on my nerves.
I wasn’t sure but I assumed that it was you.
Okay, now I do see the angels and the hogs.
Anyway, I don’t know how far you got with Storm, but he later talks about his wife, so I’m pretty sure that he didn’t plan to hit on Storm. I took it more as a scene setting thing.
But I can see where you’re coming from.
And where is Uncle Sam? I really don’t see him.
Oh, there’s a second Rorschach picture a little way down the page – that’s where Uncle Sam is.
