out_thereWhile getting the train to the SNathon last weekend, I rewrote the lyrics to Billy Joel's Pianoman. Man, I haven't written filk in *ages*. (Possibly because I'm not too good at it. *sniggers*) I'm tossing up on whether I should forget about it altogether, or if I should post it over the weekend for a laugh.
So, no boss in the office today, and no work has been done. How unusual. *rolls eyes at self*
And you know what I love about fandom? The back and forth. One person writes a drabble, someone else responds with another. One person makes Danny icons, someone else posts a little more of their wip. *bounces happily*
"Borrowed" from Elke, the If you call me ____, you are _____. meme:
If you call me out_there, you are either someone who knew me on the TWoP boards a couple years ago, or someone who barely knows me through LJ. (It's a name I barely recognise.)
If you call me Annie, you could be someone who knows me through a mailing list, LJ, or website, or someone who knows me in real life.
If you call me Annie-Lee, likewise. I could know you from anywhere.
If you call me ALG, you are the slightly annoying coworker who has nicknamed me using my initials. I don't really mind, it's just... slightly annoying.
If you call me Algae, you are the kids in seventh grade who thought that was an amusing nickname. (Likewise with Fanny Pee. That may not translate if you don't get the Aussie meaning of Fanny.)
If you call me Lee, you're my little brother, who used to call me that when he was growing up, and was the only one allowed to use that nickname.
If you call me Annie Darling, you're probably one of my grandmothers. The affection in that moniker sounds just as false as I suspect it is.
If you call me Smeghead, you've probably been watching too much Red Dwarf.
If you call me Cupcake or Princess, you're my mum, using old childhood nicknames.
If you call me my full name, you're my Dad, trying to remind me of manners/proper driving skills.
If you call me chica, you're probably Slod or Jenn.
If you call me babe, you're probably Celli or Shelley.
If you call me hon, you're probably Wendi.
If you call me dork, you probably know me well! *g*

Date: 2004-03-12 07:22 am (UTC)I gave up on TWoP when they started Sorkin-bashing, which is a shame, 'cos their reviews used to be quite amusing and very, very useful. But when they suddenly stop in the middle of a Six Feet Under episode to have a go at Sorkin for absolutely no reason whatever that I can see, it's just awfully, awfully tiresome.

I gave up on TWoP when they started Sorkin-bashing, which is a shame, 'cos their reviews used to be quite amusing and very, very useful. But when they suddenly stop in the middle of a Six Feet Under episode to have a go at Sorkin for absolutely no reason whatever that I can see, it's just awfully, awfully tiresome.
*shrugs* Well, Sorkin picked his own fight with Twop, so... it's not surprising that Twop's holding a little grudge.
Basically, the short story is that Sorkin started posting on the Twop WW boards (back in S3, I think). He... well, he basically trolled. He stirred up arguments, trying to defend the show (and pull that almighty, "no, the show isn't like that, it's like this") and didn't pay attention to the moderators. If the mods tell you to drop a topic or they'll ban you, you drop the topic. (Needless to say, he wasn't well-loved by the mods, and stopped posting soon after.)
Of course, being the critical thinkers that TWoP are, they didn't miss Sorkin's "final word" in S4 WW. Josh starts posting on a politcal board, and basically says that the mods are dictators, and that "some of these people haven't taken their medication". CJ tells him not to post, and the basic representation of net fans and posters, is that they're all nuts. That didn't win Sorkin any brownie points with Twop either.
So, yeah, they're a bit harsh on him, but he baited them, so I don't totally blame them.
I gave up on Twop because I just got sick of the cynicism. I don't always look at my shows critically, and I'm happier with them if I don't. (Apart from Charmed, which I watch to mock. *g*)
