same_skyI've noticed a lot of vicious agreement lately, and I really wonder at the source of it, or why it happens. You know what I mean.. someone will post about an issue, and their friends jump immediately to agree with them about it. Now I'm not saying that the issue in question isn't something that people should agree with, but it's the extremes to which these people go to that make me think it's odd. For example, I stumbled across a blog (A) the other day that referred to a random LJ (B) entry written about A. B wrote a mean little entry about stupid people like A and the stupid blogs they write. It was pretty nasty, especially considering that B admittedly didn't know A and had never read her website more than a time or two. Then all of his friends jumped in agreeing that A was a worthless human being. A's blog was pretty ordinary--certainly nothing extreme enough for everyone who ever visits it to begin hating her. That reaction didn't happen to me, at least. I thought she was much less annoying than others I've seen. So if she's just an ordinary girl, then why did all these people immediately agree with B that she was horrible? I suppose they just want to show their support and needed something to say. It's just funny.
I've been feeling markedly uninteresting lately. I'm really not saying this to try to get someone to tell me that I'm not dull.. I'm just explaining why I've posted really boring crap lately. I think it has to do with not leaving the house. I'm not sure how, because it's not like I left the house much before either. It's a strange but true fact, though, that I'm less productive when M is around, even when we are clearly not doing stuff together. I'm more inclined to goof off online rather than work on something else. I think it's the games. I hear him playing computer games behind me, so naturally I assume that it's time to goof off. The problem is that I do a lot of very interesting things but it's kind of boring in the translation. Like, who wants to hear about rearranging my filing cabinet in honor of the near year? Or the amount of time I've spent tinkering with content management systems? Or how many times I've nagged M to do this or that? See, boring stuff. We did watch Finding Nemo tonight, which was really cute.
Speaking of pathetic, or.. well, we weren't speaking of pathetic, were we? Anyway. Crap. Now I forgot what was pathetic, and that truly is pathetic. Oh! Right. I set a goal of exercising for ten full minutes for both M and me. I figured that was ten minutes we wouldn't get in otherwise. We managed it today, but we'll see if we stick with it. Frankly, we have no staying power with stuff like that, even if it is just ten minutes.
Oh, please, someone make him stop. I wasn't sure there was anything worse than ABBA, but I was wrong. ABBA in Swedish instead of English--that's decidedly worse. Well. On the other hand, I can focus less on the dismal lyrics when it's not in English... Anyway, as much as that sucks, it's not any worse than the other crap he's playing.. I really hate it when he gets in these moods. *checks to see what the heck he IS playing* ACK! It's the winning songs of the last forty years of the Swedish segment winners of the Eurovision song contest. It's never going to end! This is some really awful stuff! And he keeps saying crap like, "but this is a classic!" Now he's dancing around singing into my hairbrush. He's dropped to one knee and is flipping his head around--I can almost see the big hair if I close my eyes. Yikes.
This would have been a great time for that exercise break. I might have been motivated to stay in the other room a little longer..

LOL!

Date: 2004-01-21 03:07 am (UTC)I have several theories on the subject:
1. People are sheep.
2. People always find it easy to put down other people, and B's vicious agree-ers are possibly/probably putting her down somewhere else.
3. The first person to complain about another person always gets more sympathy, no matter who the wronged party is; the first complainer gets to put the spin on it.
None of my theories are particularly complimentary to people at all, are they?

Date: 2004-01-21 05:02 am (UTC)I had a look at some of the "opinions" and extraordinary pre-judgements on LJ Drama and really, it just destroys any ideas you had that intelligent life forms exist on this planet. I shudder that the internet gives these people a voice. Most should be eliminated from the gene pool right now!
Along with those who listen to schlager music! :)

I also have to say that LJDrama is a bit of a morbid source of amusement every now and then..
