Okay, I´m in another country, like it matters. Because there is something wrong with me, I had to check southparkstudios.com to see if anything happened in the past day. (You know, like you do. ... Shut up.)
Anyway, at home I use Firefox, but this free internet is Internet Explorer. So, I go to the website, and it apparently actually admonishes you if it doesn´t like your browser. In the top right box where it usually says something like "Watch all 150-ish episodes now!" with a picture, it´s got a picture of one of the boys insulting IE6. Cartman says, "Only Jews use IE6" or "IE6 ... seriously?" Stan says, "IE6? Dude, weak." Kyle says, "IE6 ... You Bastard!" And that´s like how frequently I´m getting them when I refresh.
If there are any others, I haven´t seen them. Obviously it was too much trouble to include poor Kenny. But at least they didn´t make one with Butters.
I´m sorry, this is probably not news. But I´m really sunburned. (And I accidentally drank too much Cava at dinner.) It just made me absurdly happy.

Date: 2008-07-25 05:56 (UTC)- Take it from someone who went to a "good" school -- education and name brands are in many ways a sham, and there are plenty of fucking morons at good schools (I could soapbox on this for days)
- I believe he wrote it based on an RP
- My glasses? Uh, they're purple, have oval lenses, and are greasy as fucking hell
- It's funny, but extremely tedious, and the gameplay is extremely poor; it's only worthwhile if you love the Simpsons (which, I did)
- The Mario connection games are all face-off star collections, and ... I'm pretty good at those, but come on
- Fluevogs go on sale a lot; Docs last forever (and take nearly as long to break in) so they're actually kind of an investment
(- Why is your cat so much cooler than I am? I want to sit in the closet for two hours)
no subject
Date: 2008-07-25 06:30 (UTC)-I would love to hear your soapbox rant, seriously, because I think I might be sitting on the opposite end of the schooling spectrum.
-Did he? That explains a lot. RP is so awkward. I tried it for about two days and got too shy.
-Your glasses actually sound quite awesome! I wish I could pull off colored frames.
-Is that the one that's a parody on a bunch of other games? I like the Simpsons, but I haven't seen it for a long time.
-Ugh, I haven't actually started Mario, yet; the controls are throwing me off--why can I not run with my arrow buttons??
-They sound like they're worth it, though. Are they heavy?
(-I've been sitting in a closet for nineteen years. NO JUST KIDDING. The cat sleeps about 20 hours a day, though. Lazy ass creature.)
no subject
Date: 2008-07-25 18:14 (UTC)- Ugh, I can't put it in this thread. Boards?
- It's basically cyber sex, isn't it? I guess I would try it, but to publish it, it would have to be pretty heavily edited
- Ew, they're horrible. I don't pull them off, trust me; I wear contacts
- Yeah, it parodies shit relentlessly, which is very funny, but it's just not the best gameplay ever, which is lame and frustrating
- I have no idea -- mine works fine (Shouldn't you know this shit? You're a GameStopper)
- Docs are really fucking heavy; Fluevogs, not so much
- I would go back to sleep if I didn't have real things to do -- WHY AM I REPLYING TO THINGS? BAD!
no subject
Date: 2008-07-26 05:03 (UTC)-Boards it is. Who starts, me or you?
-Well, I was trying one of the comms here, which is basically in-character journals and MSN (though I never got to that part). I could not imagine posting fic based on it either, unless you are both hella good players. (I know, stop saying "hella.")
-Lololol, I'd wear contacts, but I have tiny Asian eyes.
-Maybe I'll rent it and make someone else play it while I watch, then. Yeah, that sounds good.
-If I were a good employee, I'd want to know everything about every game ever, but I think I'm sort of a joke at the store.
-I have to ask: fluevog. Is that pronounced like it looks? If so, I suddenly feel all fancy and Swedish.
-REPLYING GOOD. WORK BAD.
no subject
Date: 2008-07-28 23:32 (UTC)- I think I replied to this already, but I can reply to it twice, that's my prerogative
- Do you want to start? Waiting for me to start will cause massive delays
- My eyes are stupid
- The Mac store was not a good place to do this
- I have no idea how it's pronounced. I have possibly been pronouncing it incorrectly this entire time. There's no what to know
- I seriously feel like I've failed you. I promise to never go away ever again
no subject
Date: 2008-07-29 10:07 (UTC)-This is your first reply. You're second-guessing because we've been talking in circles for so long, teehee.
-I'll start writing it. After I look back in this thread so I can remember what we were talking about.
-I want a Big Mac.
-I've done that with the names of Pokemon, and it ruined my life. I don't know how to pronounce the names of some of my fanfics.
-
DON'T EVER LEAVE ME.Oh, I am so selfish.It's past midnight. HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY!!!! I'm working on shit for you, I promise, and I'm so pissed off it'll be late. SO PISSED. Please have the most amazing day ever!!!
no subject
Date: 2008-07-29 14:26 (UTC)- I can do it when I'm not sitting on the floor writing LJ replies on Andrew's computer which is on top of a box
- Ew, Big Macs are gross. Have nuggets
- Don't be pissed! And THANK YOU, oh my god. (It's extremely fucking sad how I can be having the best time with like, real flesh-and-blood friends, and I'm like, huh, I wonder what Foodstamp's up to.) I now know your birthday's in December and at the rate I work I will have to start something two months ago to get it to you. Advance apologies!
no subject
Date: 2008-07-31 06:55 (UTC)-I'll try to do it. Writing on the floor isn't fun. Unless you're wasted or something, maybe. (By the way, I hope you are having super phun thymes!!!)
-I love Big Macs. Nuggets scare me, because I used to eat the dark meat ones way back when, and they always had these random chunks of fat in them (which you needed to hear about).
-I want to end every thread with HAPPY BIRTHDAY now, but that would get really old really fast. I hope it was the best day ever. (That makes me happier than it should; if I didn't miss you, I'd totally tell you to forget all about me and kick it with non-online people from now on.) Don't even worry about my birthday. I barely celebrate them myself.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-03 23:41 (UTC)- I HAD THE MOST FUN TIMES EVER ... and completely missed the fuck out of you/fandom/this, you have no idea
- I had nuggets on the drive back, when I was forced to eat at a McDonald's, which in all honesty I do just about never
- Oh my god, like I said two hyphens up, I was actually walking around being like, THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME, and then all of a sudden I'd remember how much I missed being a big online loser and writing fan porn and falling asleep on my computer while trying to catch up on all the fucking replies I constantly owe you. I think this might be unhealthy but I do not care, oh my god
- (I realize this is like a five-month-away promise but I swear to god I will try to make everything right in the world because in a way, 20 is the scariest birthday ever.) And, nonparenthetically, if I wasn't clear yet, I missed you too, OH MY GOD
no subject
Date: 2008-08-08 21:20 (UTC)-You should tell me about it in really vague terms!! Or use some elaborate fandom metaphor or something. You know how badly I missed you, I think. I'm SO glad you had fun!
-Are you just not a fast food person or whut?
-Ugh, I don't care how tacky this is; I am so happy you didn't remember your real life and just go, "Oh right, this is waaaay better" and abandon
meus forever. Soooo happy. On the plus side, you're totally caught up on replies!-(Fuck my birthday. I don't want to be 20. There was so much shit I was supposed to have done by then. I cannot come to terms; it's really pathetic.) GOD I MISSED YOU TOO. Right now, I'm seriously way happier than I've been for the past few weeks.

Date: 2008-08-09 05:04 (UTC)- Here you go. (http://www.slate.com/id/2143810/)
- I hope I wrote that link correctly
- I should just write you an e-mail about it or something. Maybe I will! (I think)
- Not really. But then, I live in, like, cities and shit
- But now I'm behind again. And I think having a real life kind of makes fandom more fun, and vice-versa
- (I want to be 20 again. I AM SO FUCKING OLD.) Oh, and SO FUCKING HAPPY you're back. For now
no subject
Date: 2008-08-09 05:24 (UTC)-Ooh, thank you for linkage! Those commercials really are mean, but really, the whole ad campaign failed on me, because I just got confused and thought Long was supposed to be the PC. I'm not capable of thinking kindly off Macs.
-
(Somewhere, on some old hard drive, I actually have MacxPC porn. I wish I were kidding.)-E-mail. Shit! I need to respond to one of yours, don't I! Let me find it. It got buried under spam and ff.net alerts and stuff.
-Man, I live off dollar menus. Or, as you would say, $ menus. Or on ff.net, menus.
-Not that far behind, and I totally agree with you; you sort of need a balance for these things to be more appreciable.
-(You're not old!! I know I just whined about my age, but really, I think people should only panic at about 75. Maybe not even then.) I'M TALKING TO YOU, oh my god. I feel goooood.

Date: 2008-08-09 05:34 (UTC)- Well, yeah, like they say, it's all self-propagation, because anyone who actually gives a shit already picked a side, and they're incredibly one-sided and it's a trite campaign with no intellectual discussion or value
- (You're the empress of porn, no?)
- This is why I put nothing on alert
- Ha! Yeah, no, I like real food. Two exceptions: Chik-Fil-A and Culver's. And the nuggets are fine if you have to eat there
- Dude, I should never have told anyone in this fandom my age. I go outside in my underwear all the time. Why does being in the upper 20 percent of the SP fandom age bracket make me feel so creepy?
- I seriously should write some more replies, but I was really enjoying that 14-year-old fic too much
Wait, while we're here: SP/Angels in America crossover. Yes/no? Thoughts?
no subject
Date: 2008-08-09 05:57 (UTC)-(Yeah, okay, I totally had to look up "bourgeoisie." I try not to admit which words I run through dictionary.com when we talk, but to not fess up to that one would just be lying to myself.)
-Honestly? I think the best think about the campaign is all the parodies it spawned. The Marvel versus DC one made me so happy.
-(Maybe just super-obscure sickening porn. Have you heard of rule 34? That's also a chan thing. "If it exists, there's porn of it." It's true.)
-Now there's an idea!
-I like Chik-Fil-A, but I've never heard of Culver's. It looks like a diner-place online, is that close?
-I want to see you in your underwear. I mean, don't feel creepy; I know you're only here to hook up with little girls who like little boys. No, seriously, though, don't feel creepy. I think this entire fandom is a little creepy, to be honest. In the best possible way.
-What are you reading? Link?
Hold that thought!! I haven't seen or read it yet, but I've been dying to. Is the miniseries good? I'll rent it tomorrow if it's worth seeing.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-09 19:51 (UTC)- Every single time I use that word I have to look up how it's spelled, which I think should disqualify me from using it
- The only parody I've seen was from SNL, I think, and it was just the PC guy telling the Apple guy, "You're a fucking asshole, why would anyone want to use your products if it meant being a fucking douche?" Not verbatim, of course, and I could be mis-remembering something, as in everything
- I have heard of Rule 34 through ED ... although I know now they're the same thing; thanks NYT!!
- Culver's is like, all about Wisconsin, although they have them all over the Midwest now -- figuring out where to eat is a big thing on road trips, of which I've been on about seven this year. They have mashed potatoes and cheese curds.
- I'd try to pretend to be a gay pedo stalker for you, but my crippling dependence on men probably ruined that
- Okay, I was reading this guy: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1639815/KayJayPea
I realize it's not exactly the greatest fic in the fandom, let alone the world, but if he is who he says he is, then he's a lost 14-year-old gay boy with a crush on his best friend, and it just made my heart melt. I sort of want to adopt him.
Go rent it right now, seriously. (I should seriously buy it but the DVD player's broken and I can't bring myself to watch it on a computer.) Also, don't take me too seriously since I haven't watched Please Save My Earth or anything so I don't know why you should listen to me.
(It's seriously worthy of the subtitle "A Gay Fantasia," it's all about AIDS and Jews and Mormons and San Francisco and is PERFECT for a SP crossover.)
But beware, it's about eight hours long. Luckily it's easily broken down into smaller chunks.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-10 08:39 (UTC)-Oh, you know that I type most of my comments in Word before I post them, which is totally cheating, and I still typo frequently. (To be fair, it's just so I don't send them too soon on accident.)
-I'll YouTube it or something. That sounds like something I'd like to see.
-I still can't believe NYT did that article!! I feel like all of us online entities are moving up in the world.
-Wow, Culver's sounds awesome. There are some in Colorado. I want to go. I can't imagine worrying about food on road trips, seriously--thank God my friends and I will eat just about anything; I wouldn't even know where to begin planning out eateries and stuff.
-Yeah, no. That would make you a closeted straight person, and that is just so poetically delicious that I would weep.
-Oh, him. I haven't read him, but he is bookmarked now. I fucking love young gay boys. This sounds conceited, but I would love a homosexual child because I know I could be an accepting mother. (Though a hetero child would be a blessing, too. I mean, fifteen years from now, maybe.)
I rented it. I'm watching it now. I'm an hour and ten minutes in, and oh my fucking god, this is gold. I fucking love everyone. I haven't even seen Emma Thompson in earnest, but Patrick Wilson and Mary-Louise Parker are some of my favorites. I don't know the gay guys and they are breaking my heart!!! Ugh, I need to stop typing this now. I don't want to miss anything. But please tell me more about how you'd South Parkify this. (And Please Save My Earth is great for an anime; it's really not in the same league as this is.)
no subject
Date: 2008-08-10 17:48 (UTC)- That's a really good idea. I should do it more often. I just lose comments all the fucking time
- I don't know, don't get your hopes up -- I could be misremembering it. There's no shortage of parodies, though, so you'll find something
- Pssh, I know! And this week, they're back to talking about Obama (and spearchuckers). Boring!
- You should go. Get the cheese curds. Save the butter burgers for your next trip to Milwaukee
- I was pretty much a closeted straight person through high school! Or something, I don't know
- I just don't think I could have children, largely in part because what if they weren't gay? I am aware of how stupid that is. And yet, the only type of child I would be interested in raising would be a gay boy. How ... completely fucking retarded. Luckily I'm still like 4 years old so it's not an issue.
I KNOW RIGHT? IT IS SO GOOD. (Just please don't leave the SP fandom for the Angels in America fandom, please.) I don't know who is playing Louis, but Prior is Justin Kirk, who is also on Weeds. WIth Mary-Louise Parker! Yesterday I went looking for my copy of the play and couldn't find it. I'm kind of annoyed, but it should turn up while I pack. In other news, I actually think Justin Kirk is pretty attractive. You know, despite the fact that he looks like a muskrat.
Anyway, yeah. I don't know if it would work, but ... I really think it would. Talk to me when you're done watching it?
no subject
Date: 2008-08-12 21:34 (UTC)-Except now I have like a hundred files of responses to various people, which is no good.
-I’d look it up, but I’m watching Angels in America now. More on that after the bullet points!
-I mean, honestly, who really cares about the state of the world that’s not online?
-You should tell me exactly what makes a butter burger a butter burger, because I have no idea.
-Were you really? That’s insane. Tell me more, if you want to and feel comfortable.
-No, that makes total sense. It’s actually scary how much sense that makes. I am counting on a gay son, too; at this point nay other type of child seems really boring. See what fandom does? This is bad. NYT needs to write about this shit, I swear.
It is SO fantastic! Is there a fandom? I’m sort of watching this in terms of South Park, really, so there’s no danger of me leaving one for the other, but now I have definitely got to see Weeds. You’re already packing? When are you leaving? Good luck finding everything. I like Justin Kirk too. He sort of reminds me of Adam Pascal from Rent; I hope that’s not insulting or anything. And I finally saw Emma Thompson, OH MY GOD; she’s seriously my second favorite actress ever (owing in large part to her character in Stranger than Fiction: the fucked-up hermit best-selling novelist who compulsively kills her protagonists). I finished the first disc. I’m starting the second one, like, as soon as I post this.
It would work SO well so far. Would each Angels character have a South Park counterpart? If so, who would be the Mormon? Stan? Sorry I’m speaking in sentence fragments today. The Angels DVD menu is on loop right now, and Thomas Newman’s music just kills all of my coherency. God, this is such a masterpiece.

- Surprise! The state of the world is online
- Well, it’s a burger with butter on it. Have one for dinner! All you need is a cheeseburger and some butter
- Wisconsinites are probably pretty fat, but then it is the land of dairy
- People thought I was gay. Possibly because I dressed like I was. Possibly because they misinterpreted my obsession with gay men. Possibly because I’m a very assertive bitch who isn’t very feminine at all
- This is horrible considering I’m a feminist and everything, but having a daughter would kill me. Probably also bore me. At this point in my life I feel I really shouldn’t have children, because they’re not a novelty experiment, and dressing up a little boy in a tutu and making him bake with you probably isn’t fun enough to justify paying $300,000 for his college 30 years from now, or whenever
- I’ll move this up here: I move one week from today
I’ve never found a fandom, although I didn’t look very hard. I don’t even know where you’d find that. But there’d have to be, right?
Oh, I found
I was thinking about this as I was at the park swinging on the swings yesterday. The thing is, you did a really good job (in my opinion, and I know we disagree so whatever) taking Rent and putting it into SP terms. It is very, very tempting to want to do an exact translation, but I think you make really smart decisions -- for example, putting in a Tweek role that didn't have direct counterpart, but still fit the Rent story/aesthetic. I mean, I don't want it to be Stan saying TKTKTK instead of some character saying the original line. It should be the same story put into a South Park context.
So basically, I don’t want to spoil it for you, not that OMG AIDS SUCKS is a spoiler or anything. After you finish watching it – I totally rent it too, by the way – we should talk about it, if you want.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-13 00:56 (UTC)-I could delete them, but I just…never delete anything. That’s how I discovered I’d actually written South Park fanfiction in October of 2006. I need these things for posterity!
-Well, the good parts of the world.
-Oh, that was more self-explanatory than I thought it would be. Okay. I’ll butter the next burger I eat.
-I’d get more rotund for Wisconsin cuisine. It sounds totally worth it.
-Don’t you know that all strong women nowadays are lesbians? Ladies are complete jellyfishes. Except in the kitchen. I am doing a poor job at being facetious, but really, I don’t think femininity shouldn’t define being female or vice versa, at least to such an extent. That’s probably too idealistic and shallowly justified, but I can’t go into detail; it’s such a slippery slope. Gender/sexual identity is something I should not touch, except in the case of gay South Park fan fiction. Oh my god, I need to shut up: sorry people made those assumptions. Closeted straight, you were. That is so hot.
-I don’t want a daughter, either. I annoy myself enough. Dressing up your son in a tutu probably wouldn’t entertain you for eighteen years, but if you were to mix it up a little--say, hula skirts and ball gowns every once in a while--you’d probably be fine. Wait, $300000 for college? Holy fuck. My mom estimates my cumulative college expenses at $25000, $75000 at the most, including grad school.
-That’s close! Are you excited??
I don’t see fic, either. Strange. You’d think there would be a bigger community for it. I only checked the play category on FF.net and ran it through Google, but there doesn’t really seem to be anything too substantial.
Parks are perfect for contemplating things, yeah? Again, thank you so much for the kind words about the Rent fic--that’s one thing I’d definitely try to avoid in a crossover story; shameless quote-cloning. It happens too much. (That’s one reason that Titanic fic bothered me.) Themes are more important. Themes, and ambiance. Not that the dialogue from Angels is easy to duplicate, even in the South Park universe…unf. I must admit that a lot of what Louis says goes over my head the first time. But I love that.
We should definitely talk about it when I finish. I’ve got two more hours to go. I don’t know if I can watch it all tonight, though, because the fucking disc keeps freezing. I’m getting so pissed off.
