Lightning Chronicles: SOPA Issue and then some
I know this post will reach just a small market. Or that I may well be the only one reading it but what the hell. Let me start off with a quick introduction. Hi. My online name's Elleon. I'm a constant lurker in the world-wide web. I work for a company that primarily uses internet in their services. I'm an amateur graphics designed in deviantArt. I'm also a fan of Glee, or particularly, some actors in Glee. So, what was that introduction all about?
I check things on the internet. Information. Games. Graphics. Shows. Articles. Pictures. Events. Practically everything. If the internet was to be taken from me, then I have to resort to books that can be considered "up to date" during the 80's or perhaps even the 70's. I won't be able to reach out to some friends who I only know online. I can't contact my guildmates in case of events. I won't know the latest games out on a console. I won't be able to check the latest shoujo-ai animé. I won't be able to show off forum signatures or the likes. And the worst thing yet, I WON'T BE ABLE TO READ MY FANFICS!
To some, fanfiction is a small thing. To me, it's the reason why I am not bored out of my mind during off days. See, the reason why I can survive work is because of those creative minds in the fandom. They provide me entertainment when I can't get it from another place. Call me boring, I like reading. A certain professor in my Radio Production class said "the radio is the theatre of the mind". I beg to differ because it doesn't apply to me. I can imagine things as I read them. From the sweet and loving fics to the hot and steamy ones. My mind's practically in the gutter once I start reading. So if my fanfics were taken from me, then I'll just be a random kid battling through work, going home to no form of entertainment and wondering why I feel like I'm living like a caveman.
And then Glee. Or specifically, Dianna Agron. She uses Tumblr, Twitter and YouMeandCharlie to interact with her fans, spread art appreciation and, ultimately, ruin my life. Ever since May 2011 when Glee was introduced, I had no life to talk about. It consumed my life. I don't regret it though. It has a wonderful cast. Cast. Not story. Anyway, Agron, along with Lea Michele, Naya Rivera and Heather Morris are the primary reasons why I love the internet. The other cast some afterwards. Their quirks, updates on Glee, some personal information and others are posted in social networking sites. Admittedly, I am not interested in Season 3 anymore because it pisses me off. Yeah, sure, the musical performances may be great and all that but the storyline? Yeah right. That's the purpose of fanfics.
So with those rants out of the way, I'd like to send a little message to a Filipino in deviantArt who thinks just because I'm a Filipino means we're automatically friends. Bitch, please. I pick my friends. And my friends have know me for years. What makes you think you are at their level of closeness? Being a "kabayan" doesn't mean we get to sit down, chat and enjoy spending time together. No. Your first impression wasn't that impressive either, calling me "hoy" right off the bat. Even my acquaintances do not call me that. Your insistence with interacting with me is getting on my nerves. Are you that dense or are you just annoyingly persistent? I don't give a damn if it's your birthday. I don't care if you played Avalon Code because I have absolutely no idea what that game is. And who the fuck are you to tell me to calm down in my journal which was written primarily to vent out and not get attention? Another act like that and I will tell you off. And if I have to bring cruelty into play, so be it. For fuck's sake, GET THE DAMN PICTURE ALREADY.
Ah~ Ranting~ How I missed this~
