Newspapers fascinate me, even if they are, like, dying a horrible death.

I would hate to work for one now, myself.

Newspaper baroning sounds fun, somehow. Information was a lot more tightly-controlled back then, meaning if you ran the papers you were like this special sect of society.

William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer were the Google and Microsoft of their day, and they got politically involved!

Can you imagine Google and Microsoft officially supporting political candidates; especially opposite political candidates?!!!

Google supporting political candidates scares me, somehow. They already strike me as the online MegaCorp as it is.

Also, William Randolph Hearst perfected Yellow Journalism, and pretty much caused the United States to get into war with Spain!

Seeing as how Facebook was involved with the Egyptian Protests and how effective that was in crushing Mubarak's reign, spirit, and power; imagine what Google could do to cause wars and break peace.

Is there anything wrong with the fact that I still like that Twitter delayed scheduled maintenance during the Iranian election stuff back in '09?

Shipping Anthem:

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of water and subtext.

I've been around for a long, long year. Made many men and women...get together.

I was around to ship Jesus Christ with Judas...and Peter.

Made damn sure that Judas / kissed his cheek and pleased the fangirls.

Pleased to meet you! Hope you guess my name!

But what's puzzling you / It's the nature of my game.

Stuck around St. Petersburg, when I saw it was a time for the gay.

Shipped the czar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in horror.

I rolled a tank made a General gay. When the blitzkrieg raged and the men kneeled.

Pleased to meet you! Hope you guess my name!

But what's puzzling you / It's the nature of my game.

I watched Glee while your kings made out and your queens watched.

I shouted out "Who did the Kennedys?" when after all it was Nixon and Johnson.

Let me to introduce myself, I'm a man of water and subtext.

I layed traps for Het Fics, who got killed before they reached Livejournal.

Pleased to meet you! Hope you guess my name!

But what's puzzling you / It's the nature of my game.

(Shipping Solo)

Pleased to meet you! Hope you guess my name!

But what's puzzling you / It's the nature of my game.

Just as every man is gay!

Just as every woman is a lesbian!

Just as Homo is the new Het

As of this day, call me "Shipper"

Cause all men need some...restraint.

So if you meet me. Have some whips

Some subtext and some bicuriosity.

Use all your well learned gayness.

Or I'll ship your soul to waste.

(Maximum shipping solo)

...

Man, it turned out way too yaoish.

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

Which shall I work on tonight? The Failship or Chapter 8: How the Fail Failed?

I'm at an unpleasant place in both projects, hence the fail.

whoever wrote this shit needs to step on a rake in a comedic fashion

You need to think more positively. Think of success.

So if I were to buy Conde Nast Publications, should GQ's blurb on the ABC Inc website include "Commissioned the ubiquitous "Gotham" typeface"?

My African American acquaintance, I believe you are of the homosexual persuasion.

Ohai.

Funnily, I was about tell you about me picturing myself as a blonde cheerleader. (This place seems to bring on most of my thoughts about crossdressing)

I should probably play Sonic Rush Adventure again.

I love the Windmill Village tunes, specifically Modes 2 and 4.

So, as Glenn pointed out to me, I apparently have not one, but two imitators on IJBM. What the hell?

^^ "censored"? As in, Anonymous User's real name?

I don't know. It's starting to weird me out, though.

There's "Centra I Avenue", who I've only ever seen post once (it just said "."), and "Central_Avenue", who I've never seen post.
