Bizarre use of the internet

[raven]

I don't know why I am updating a whole two hours after the last time. I think the main genius of LiveJournal is in its capacity for flagrant narcissmism on the part of the entire world. You - read about my life - as it happens! Minute by minute commentary!

Philosophising over. I forgot to wish happy anniversary to tygermoonfoxx, so I'm doing that now. She is one of the most remarkable people I've ever met.

eniddy is here, and she has had a rather odd morning in contention with Mrs Mills, who seems to envisage the school as Orwellian dystopia. She's watching us, she knows we participate in "alternative cultures" (Homosexuality! Nooooo) and we wear odd clothes and we engage in "bizarre use of the internet."

Oh, my God, I use the internet in bizarre ways. I use it to offer the world my views on cute slashy boys fucking each other... (Jack and Daniel, Hawkeye and Trapper, who else am I fangirlie about? I know I'm missing something...)

Becca has just accidentally printed off thirty copies of her questionnaire. Oops.

So it is. Nerds are in.

I always thought the weirdness came in the slash, but hell, if you think my having my own country is weird...

Yes, the weirdness is also in the slash, but I can't talk, I'm almost as much involved as you!
Having your own country weird?
Nah!
Never!
*cough*

When I was in my first year of college, "alternative cultures" included wanting to study and actually get an education at college. The residential assistant actually recommended that I seek counselling for it. Your teacher needs to broaden her horizons. As long as you're at school and doing fairly well (which I see, from your entries, is the case), you're not the ones she needs to worry about. The ones she needs to worry about aren't at school....but she'll never figure that out. As for "bizarre use of the internet" ---just about everything about the internet is bizarre in some way. I've been using the internet for almost ten years now and I still find it hard to believe that it lets me talk to someone half a world away.

There are worse things out there than slash fiction and homosexuality. Some of the messed up people I know screw their stuffed animals and would happily apply that to the family pet as well.

Too bad I couldn't tell that teacher you're fine, eh?

Huh - I wish you would march in and tell them how close-minded they are!
The teacher is the headmistress - what she says apparently goes. It's depressing, but I only have two more years here, thankfully.

The bizarre use of the internet thing - well, I thought I was quite forward thinking - I've had it since 1995, but ten years! *is impressed*
