^ isnt that illegal on the grounds of an invasion of privacy? or are they just tracking things based on how you use google and youtube?

[Lee]

Basically how you use it. You have nothing really to worry about, unless you're doing something really illegal. And if you're breaking the law, you don't really have much of a say in it.

[Loyal Subject]

I just want to make sure its only google and youtube. Because I mean, no surprise those Korra leaks were around not too long ago and yes, I did watch them.

[Lee]

lol that doesn't matter. I think it's more about pirating software like if you steal an entire version of photoshop or something.

[Loyal Subject]

oh okay.

[Lee]

Right so I don't think you have anything to worry about. So long as you aren't doing that kind of stuff, but you might want to read the rules or announcement thoroughly, if you aren't sure or are worried.

[Loyal Subject]

Okay, this isn't really a rant but I need to share this.

So, today, I was in a sound studio with my boss and I was thinking about the Hunger Games. Specifically, I was thinking about the love triangle between Peeta, Katniss, and Gale. And, even more specifically, I was thinking about how if you ship Katniss and Peeta, your pairing is Katpee.

And then I reversed it, putting Peeta's name first and Katniss' name second and almost burst out laughing on how ridiculous that pairing name is.

I go on tumblr and it turns out the second name is the official name of the pairing amongst the fans.

So say what we want about Zutara at least we don't have fans running around thinking Pee + niss is a good pairing name. XD

[Lee]

I don't know, I kind of like Katpee, that just sounds so epic.

[Loyal Subject]

^ It does, doesn't it?

[Lee]

It's almost as lame as Ryuai.

[Loyal Subject]

i dont think anything comes even close to be as lame as Peeniss. I think even Team Edward and Team Jacob are better names than that.

[Lee]

Why not just Jella and Ella? Wait it's Bella right?

[Loyal Subject]

yes, it is but i dont think she ever got official pairing names. it was always just Team Edward or Team Jacob.

[Lee]

lol maybe they called them Team because they didn't want to admit that it was Team Bella, but Team Insert Myself into Bella's spot. Kind of sad come to think of it...

[Loyal Subject]

that is exactly why they're called teams. Bella was always supposed to be a character that the reader could easily put themselves into. this is why Bella is hardly ever given descriptions as to how she looks and why she is supposed to be an awkward average teenager.

[Lee]

I don't know, I think that's kind of detrimental for a person to have an imaginary boyfriend lol.

[Loyal Subject]

^ then the entire teenage population and young adult (meaning older than teenagers, not younger) are a lost cause. i know i have at least 7 imaginary boyfriends :p and my friend's got a few too XD

that is, unless you're separating fangirling from what we're talking about. i consider putting yourself in Bella's shoes and thereby getting with the guy you want as fangirling.

[Lee]

I don't do that, but I'm a guy so...

Yeah anyway it's one thing to think someone is attractive, even if it is just a cartoon, but I think there needs to be a line when people start fantasizing, like too much.

[Loyal Subject]

You just don't understand fangirls. :p

I get though what you mean, I mean assuming your 'too much' is the same as my 'too much'.

[Lee]

As in don't let it rule your life.

[Loyal Subject]

define 'rule your life'. i mean, would you consider all the Korrasexual posts on tumblr 'ruling your life'? cause, im pretty sure men and women are Korrasexual right now and a lot of them. could be wrong though since i havent found my korrasexuality yet.

[Lee]

Geez do I have to define everything for you? :P

You know, fans who let it become their drug that screws with other things in their daily lives. CrackFans instead of CrackHeads, that should be a new term.

[Loyal Subject]

well im just saying. i mean when i was in high school, my friends and i had these jokes where our fangirling characters lived at our houses and we made up crazy stories about what the characters did.

i know one of mine was me and L fighting off gnomes that could impregnate you in my basement. obviously we didnt share these stories with anyone but each other ...it was an inside joke....

i wouldnt consider that ruling my life but for someone else it might cause they were pretty crazy/stupid things that we did.

[Lee]

Well it's all fun and games until your imaginary friend pokes his eye out. Or something...

Your story kind of reminds me of this rivalry I used to have with this other reenactor (who was a Confederate) It happened back in 2005ish I think.

Anyway the event where we met was really rainy, which sucked. It was the first event of the season and we were all looking forward to getting back out after the winter.

Then it just downpours, but the rival, who was Union at the time joined up with us. Anyway fast forward to the next event and a friend and I notice that he and his friend had switched sides! Those damn dirty traitors!

We shot and killed them, cause they saw us to and took a hit. Then after that we met up and always played Where's Waldo in the huge line of soldiers to find and take out our rival.

I don't know what happened to him now, but I'm assuming he succumbed to gangrene from all those shots.

[Loyal Subject]

^ but your rival wasn't imaginary. so does that make fangirls more insane than you? :p
