MSN Names

Hidyho

I've just decided that whenever I'm going to complain about something in posts, I'm not going to greet you. Yeah, take that, readers.

... 

*Fail*

Anyway, I just want to point out how incredibly infuriating and*make-people-jump-to-silly-conclusions-ing* msn names/personal messages are. Okay, if I quickly just scan my list of people right now, I can tell you that these horrible little sequences of text are used only for one of/a large combination of these things:

1. Proclaiming incredibly un-hilarious jokes, thought of by the user themselves in a vain attempt for others to view them as "generally funny and very sociable people". Often, these people take joy from the fact that, because no one is able to understand these quirky remarks without actually questioning them, people have to personally contact them and ask them to explain it.

2. Displaying their incredibly versatile and "different" compilation of music. Really, I don't care if you listen to a band that I've never heard of, or listen to such a massive range of music that you've never repeated a song in your life. Publicly displaying what music you listen to nowadays, is almost like having to put on nice clothes in a video call so that people don't shun you. "Omg you seriously listen to such-and-such?" Fuck, I can listen to anything I want. 

3. (2.1) Displaying their expansive knowlege of alternative music by posting obscure, yet "meaningful" lyrics in their personal messages. Sure, I am guilty of this too, but I am merely pointing out the fact that it happens. 

4. Showing off the freaking gigantic number of friends/posse/people that they "love"/people who love them. From my contacts list, I have this one girl who manages to mention seven other people in her personal message alone, and her super important boyfriend, who gets a front seat in her main name. 

5. (4.1) What makes this experience all the more maddening is that, usually when people get mentioned in msn names, it's because there's some sort of personal joke that they share. Ok, so this makes the user of the msn account to mention this joke. Oh, and then when you ask them about it, they say, "Oh, don't worry. It's just a joke that me and my friend have". First of all, you have horrible grammar. Second of all, IF IT'S SO FREAKING PERSONAL, DON'T PUBLICLY DISPLAY IT. Seriously.

6. (4.1.1) Usually when these jokes are publicised, they are written in a way which makes them incredibly, outrageously funny. A contact of mine has things about sex, boobs and jokingly dating a female friend of hers. It's almost like she's trying to insult me and saying that her friends are cooler than mine, and they're not afraid to speak their mind. Neither am I. I don't care how freaking fun filled your life is, or "daring" you and your friends are. I don't think anybody does, so stop sharing and exaggerating it.

7. Last of all, one of the most prominent reason people like to spruce up their msn names is so that that can express their great and all-the-way-to-China deep love for their other half. :/. Zomg that is so overrated. I have someone on my list who (yes, is a boy) has posted the fact that he is celebrating a one-month aniversary with his girlfriend. - What? Dude, 31 freaking days. Some girls would have a period twice in that space of time. *rolls eyes*. God, what has become of this world? It's like, people would doubt your fidelity if you didn't mention them in your msn name. SERIOUSLY. 

I'm sick of all this crap. Meh. Whatever. This probably won't change anything anyway. Couple of things before we leave:
- OMFG Tom Milsom aka hexachordal replied to a comment of mine on his video! g;alskdlgkhsdf. yay.
- I am deeply engaged in watching inevitable-outcome battles on Pokemon Colosseum. Gahh. It has taken me over 2 hours to post this. :(
- I was looking at the tags to my posts, and I've discovered that the word I've tagged most with my blog is idiots. This is reasonably sad. Another :( for Vivien.

I Hate Soapies!

Okay, I don't know what it is, but there is just something that ticks me off about soap tv.

I fail to understand how people can commitedly watch an episode of "Neighbours" or "Home and Away" (for the people who don't know, they're the soapies that we have currently in Australia) or something else like that for that matter. I don't know if their audiences actually realise it, but pretty much the only things that happen in shows like that are either:

a) Birth
b) Death (including miscarriges, homicides, murders, accidental and the like), or
c) CHEEEEATING. *retches*

Seriously, how do people stand watching those things over and over again? It is so predictable, and the people in the shows are FUGLY anyway.

For example, at the moment there is a FUGLY girl on Neighbours at the moment, who is "pregnant" and her boyfriend is cheating on her. Oh, the dilemmas of life! Oh, what is a girl to do? Now lets all drown in our own empathy! Yay!

Seriously though, I doubt many of the people watching would actually know how she feels anyway. It doesn't make you any more of a considerate person if you watch someone with issues on TV, and you feel sorry for them.

For heaven's sake, wWake up people! How can there possibly be more drama on one effing steet than in there is in a news series for an entire year? Sure, you might tell me that it's "entertaining" but really, it is so incredibly pointless and stupid that:

a) the producing companies need to pay more money for it to be shown during prime-time tv so that people actually watch it, and
b) DOESN'T EVEN BELONG TO A GENRE OF TELEVISION (apart from the one that they've made for themselves, otherwise known as SOAPIES!)

On another topic about soap tv though, I am just deathly sick of people from them trying to launch farking POP MUSIC CAREERS from the publicity that they've gained from their bloody shows.

:@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@.

WHAT ARE THEY THINKING??

Just because you have become "famous" (i.e. "On the small screen" *aha.. aha*) for your inability to act, does not mean you can sing! Sure, some careers have been rather successful, but they've almost all just led to a life of plastic-ism, and plain loathing from the general public.

Don't make silly judgements on me just because you are defensive towards your precious little soapies, because:

a) then, you'd just be a hypocrite,
b) I am entitled to my opinion and so are you. Go complain about me on your own blog site.
c) I don't particularly care anyway.

Of course, I like to hear what you think (in the minute possibility that you might convince me of otherwise upon the issue of soap tv), but I do not encourage negative feedback, or positive feedback. Just constructive will do, thanks.
