For a limited time non-subscribers can use journal skins! ...Yay?

Oh... apparently I missed mydAnniversary AGAIN. I'm 2 years old now! Maybe eventually I'll remember it's ON THE 11TH. Not the 20th like I think. Oh, that reminds me! It's Inuyasha's birthday today too! And Me and My Dick premieres on Youtube!

Personal Stuff
next week I start winter break, so I'll be able to scan my artwork!
By the way, I'm a Weird Al fan now.
I'm also sick.

Art Stuff
See above!

My Top Five
This one was spur of the moment since I wasn't planning to update my journal.

Internet Beefs
I should explain, "beef" is slang for "complaint".

deviantArt I'm not going to complain TOO much about this site... for some obvious reasons... but I DO think it's nice of the dA people to have created a whole website for us to post art. That said, this site sucks. A lot of people turn sharing art into a popularity contest (although, art IS essentially a popularity contest, if you're planning to get money from it). And too many greatly talented artists on here get no love from anyone, while people submitting absolute crap get lots of faves, views, and comments. Now, I know I'm not the best artist on here, and neither are any of you (just sayin', but we all deserve to have more than 3 people look at our stuff, right?
And it's not just the people. It's... well, we all know that dA updates and gives up absolute crap, while there are still a lot of problems on here. Supposedly they DID fix the problem of people not getting updated on some people's arts, but I don't know - since I don't have 4000 watchers or anything... But they update this and that, and the site is still full of dead links. And there's pornography on here, you know? Usually that gets reported... eventually... but there's also pieces on here actually breaking copyright laws, but things that AREN'T get reported and deleted with NO warning whatsoever. Also, the forums... I guess I'll put that next.

deviantArt's forums I actually had no idea there was a forum on this website until February 2008, and I started going to this website June or July 2007. That said, a lot of people in the forums are assholes. Not EVERYONE is, but you know, they yell at nOObs who don't know any better BECAUSE THEY'RE NOOBS. And then there's the Complaints Forum... See, in the Complaints Forum, you can write and rant about whatever's bothering you. Your mom's mad at you, someone beat up your cat for lunch money, you hate the website... whatever. But EVERYONE who replies to your complaint will yell at you for complaining. Complaining in the COMPLAINTS forum. Problem here? I think so.

People who read spoilers and complain about getting spoiled There are several internet series/videos/articles here on the web with the name "spoiler" in them. Now, if you don't know, a spoiler is some big plot point/plot twist/reveal in any facet of pop culture - books, movies, tv shows, video games. The polite thing to do on the internet, when you're saying something that involves a spoiler, is to mark it some way, like doing "Spoiler Nicole Kidman is a ghost!", so people who don't want to be spoiled won't be. So my big complaint here is... people watch or read something that is clearly marked "spoiler", and then respond something like this "omg you douche you totally ruined the ending for me." Yeah... It's sort of like reading the last chapter in a book and then yelling at a publisher for putting the ending there. It's YOUR fault, YOU read it when YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO. Morons.

Splng dna gramer You have NO idea how hard it was for me to type like that... Anyway, one of the things I really hate on the interwebz is how no one can spell or speak correctly. It's like as soon as people log onto the internet, all their knowledge of the English language completely disappears and they start talking like 3 year olds. Of course, people who aren't native English speakers are excused from this rant (although it would be nice if they could check their grammar through a website or checker or something first... sometimes I read stuff by other people and have no idea what they're trying to say). But really... when you start typing "omg i luv ur work its soooo kute!" that's just lazy. It's not THAT hard to type using REAL words, unless you only have 1 finger, and that finger is broken. It's really annoying, and an insult to the language, and makes it really hard for other people to figure out what you're saying. My aunt always talks like that on facebook, and it takes me twice as long to read her posts as it does to read anyone else's.
Not that she says anything important anyway.

MUDKIPZ. "So I herd u liek mudkipz?" Some of you may remember this from dA's April Fool's 2008 joke (they changed everyone's avatar to a picture of a Mudkip from Pokemon with that phrase flashing overhead". This apparently started as a joke from another website... Which I'm sure only a small percentage of people on dA knew at the time. And I'm sure many people didn't even know what a Mudkip was. I already knew. AND I HATE MUDKIP. I like it better than Treecko, but Torchic takes the cake in my opinion (although I'd pick Squirtle out of the first 9 starters, then Cyndaquil, then Torchic, then... Bulbasaur, Charmander, Chikorita, Mudkip, Totodile, and then Treecko... not that you care). Mudkip!

Like I said, this was sort of last-minute.

Y'know, I asked the girl who owns this club about it in a note, and I think she read it, but never responded AT ALL.
