So I'm Marrying a Mac Geek...

I've never won in life's little popularity contests. Never much cared. Never tried that hard to win either, since I figure it doesn't really matter.

Still, the cut hurts.

I knew that the opening post to this blog had been put up on Digg (not by me, no I'd never willingly submit myself to that kind of crap). I'd avoided it because I knew that the likelihood of anyone on there even giving a shit about what I had to say about anything was pretty slim.

But there are days when you're bored and you do dumb things. I went and found it.

In 19 comments I was called:
Shallow
Sad
Lame
an iTard
a stupid prude
a fucking sheep
a stupid twat
and compared to Katie Holmes

Wow.

Can't tell you how much that made my day.

Are people always this rude? Or does Digg just bring out a special brand of fucktards? Did they bother to read anything beyond my first post? Did they bother to even read my first post?

If I don't like it, (I can hear the fucktards now) then why do I even bother with a blog? Good question. One I can't really answer. Suffice it to say, I do. I still don't think that gives you a license to be an asshole. If you want one, c'mere and I'll tattoo it on your forehead: Asshole. Then you can say whatever mean stuff you like and people will just blow you off because, well, hey, you're an asshole.

For those of you who somehow got the mistaken impression that I wasn't a geek, please consider: I've been a geek my ENTIRE life. I'm talking big glasses (long since gone), bad hair cut (also gone), mother dressing me (no more of that), acne (cleared up), theater geek (and proud of it), gaming geek (proud of it), art geek (make money from it), and book geek (ditto on the proud and the money).

For those of you who think that the ONLY reason I love John is because he introduced me to computers: Get a fucking clue, dillholes.

This post, this is called a bad reaction, and yeah, I'm pissed. Wouldn't you be?

Personally, I think popularity sites like Digg should be taken out, shot and buried in the cesspits from which they arose. What good do they do? What purpose do they serve other than to attract all the assholes of the world and give them a place to take a collective dump. I've never seen anything nice on Digg--admittedly, I never looked that hard, since if there is anything nice it's buried under a load of crap.

If you don't like me, don't like what I write, fine, keep it to yourself and get the fuck out of my blog.
