octopedingenue, 5 reasons I am a supreme dork
Jul. 24th, 2005 12:25 amtimepiececlockI am a supreme dork because:
1. I sleep with a Vash pillow. I bought a large black square pillow with a professionally spray-painted portrait of Vash The Stampede on it in silver for 40 bucks at a con three years ago. I still have it, and I still use it. As a pillow. I sleep with Vash every night. And I clutch it when watching emotionally traumatizing things-- like every other episode of FMA.
2. in my LSAT prep class last monday, during the class break our instructor/teacher mentioned how Tom Cruise and what's her face need a name like "Bennifer" and how "Bennifer" was a such weird name... and I led that into a discussion of how/why people on the internet splice names together to designate a couple as a single unit. I didn't mention fanfic, but as an example to expand upon "Bennifer" I did mention Bangel and...you guessed it...Spuffy! I actually feel kind of proud I was able to educate him on this totally-useless-in-the-real-world fandom practice. During this whole discussion I had to bite my tongue from randomly saying "Every fandom wants to be Spuffy," because I know he wouldn't have gotten it and there's at least 20 minutes of explaining behind that statement.
3. due to my deep Naruto dorkishness, I've started adding "no jutsu" to everyday things. On the couch watching tv: Remote no Jutsu! At work at Albertsons today: Sweep no Jutsu! At home tomorrow afternoon: Chili Cooking no Jutsu!
And my favorite... Automatic Double Door no Jutsu, with hand seals.
4. I saw my high-school-senior-now cousin for the first time in over a year last night, and in less than three hours I had him sitting nearby while I sat at my computer and wrote him a Word document file with step by step instructions on how to use Bitorrent, livejournal trading communitings, and what little I know of IRC and FTP. Complete with website links and suggestions for titles/shows he should download. My mom came to tell us we were wanted in the living room and I told her "Give me another four five minutes, I'm teaching Cousin how to be an internet pirate." All she said was "You have fifteen minutes, then dessert is being served."
5. I got into an argument once with my family on why it was wanky behavior for the Hotel de Coronado to be playing the movie "Some Like It Hot" on the televisions in their main lobby. Then I had to change that statement to "masturbatory" because my family didn't get what "wanky" meant. And it is masturbatory of them, I still maintain. In fact, there's no better description for it than meaningless self-gratification.

None to catchy if you ask me...think I'll just stick with Batshit.
Seriously, its a tragedy that scientology doesn't allow the use of drugs because someone seriously needs to prescribe that boy a chill pill stat.
