A moment of seriousness.
September 17th, 2008 by Lianne
Let me be PERFECTLY clear about something. My use of the word “lolz” in last post was intended to be snarky and topical, since “lol” and “lolz” are often associated with the Internet’s obsession with kitties. It was brought to my attention that some might interpret my use of the word as an acceptance of it, even an embracing of it. Let me just say that the day I use the word “lolz” in a sentence in seriousness is the day I commit ritualistic suicide. If my making bad jokes is going to reflect on my personal character like this, I’m not sure I want to make bad jokes anymore.
In other news, a review! NotHayama read Record of a Fallen Vampire. Can you guess her opinion? I’ll give you a hint – NotHayama is the reviewer, and the story is about sad vampires! You see where this is going.
See you soon.
P.S.–I HATE THE WORD LOLZ AND ANYONE WHO USES IT.
This entry made me laugh. In a good way.
is the word lol ok? because i actually use it sometimes. today i stumbled on this site and i totally love it. i hate a series, read your review of it, which tells me WHY i hate it. i love a series, read your review of it, which tells me WHY i love it. EVERY REVIEW I READ WAS RIGHT, EVEN WHEN YOU’RE WRONG YOU’RE RIGHT (and i laughed a lot reading some your reviews) ;_; i totally understand why lolz is wrong (there’s even something more wrong. lölz. that’s not only ritualistic suicide, it’s also killing your whole family, every people you know, once knew, will know and putting endless shame on all of you… but’s only common in german-speaking communities. so you are save and the worst thing possible of happening to you caused by chat speak is just ritualic suicide.), but please, don’t judge me for using the word lol. i’ll stop if you want me to, if it’s necessary to become as smart and funny and pretty and what not, as you are.
i feel like a creepy stalker, perhaps i really am… uhm.
great post as usual!
