Wow... XD Oh... wow. For some reason, SomethingAwful.com has decided to link to my LJ under the 'Links' menu at the side of the front page. I just got a heads-up from someone who followed the link. I can't imagine who's decided my LJ is SA Front Page Worthy... but... XDDD Wow.
I expect they'll soon come to realize that my LJ is really rather average and dispense of the link. But I just thought it was funny.
EDIT: XD!! I see my LJ has its very own thread in the SA forums :)

Date: 2006-12-09 12:08 pm (UTC)Must... Resist... Urge to... Verbally... Bitch-slap... The Internet... Oh, screw it. It's ON, you whores.
These people think the bolded, with my opinions italicized:
"point-and-laugh obviously
he's mental."
Jai? Mental? No... He didn't pay $10 for a service that every other webpage on Earth offers for free (except porn sites, which I hope SA is not, but you never know), just so they can bitch about other people's lives in a desperate, yet subtle attempt to avoid the problems plaguing their own miserable existences. AND, the owner claims to NOT want to shove popups in the faces of registered viewers, but until you register, there's a three-inch thing at the top of every screen reminding you that you haven't given this guy money yet! Wow, hypocrisy rules on SA.com. And so do 8th graders who haven't mastered the skill of pressing lettered buttons in a legible manner correctly. OH, WAIT. That's the owner of the site. Whoops, silly me! 7th graders.
-----
"Oh god his site
Oh god his art section"
At least he's done something constructive and something that other people enjoy with his time, instead of always criticizing others with it. Have you ever heard of "live and let live?" Yeah, I didn't think so.
-----
"Does Livejournal tell you what's pointing to your site? I wonder if he's watching us watch him."
Guess what?! He IS, as made evident by this post here. Note the fact that, since you can see this, he made it public. This means that he doesn't care about what other people do or say about him, however idiotic, which is also evidenced from the many comments along the lines of "I find this amusing.". That's far more than can be said for anyone who hides the fact that they're attempting to ridicule someone else ONLINE. You remind me of the schoolyard bullies of old, pointing and sniggering from far across the field, too afraid to walk up to the one kid in all of the vast playground who actually looks like he won't be working at Burger King until retirement.
-----
"Lowtax you hit the nail on the head by saying this guy is every stereotypical blogger rolled into one."
"Seriously this livejournal is incredible. EVERY day he has something new to say about Sonic the Hedgehog's influence on his miserable, depressing, caged-in life. It's so sad, yet so entertaining."
First of all, calling Jai a "stereotypical blogger" is like calling Kim Jong Il "The Savior of all mankind." Second, Jai is one of the happiest guys I've ever had the honor of being friends with, and like everyone else (except maybe you people), he happens to feel human emotions. Finally, your life ISN'T miserable, depressing, or caged-in? YOU OWN SA.COM, A SITE COMPRISED ENTIRELY OF CYBERHOBOS. How is that not depressing or miserable?
"Holy fuck this guy is 22 years old"
Punctuation is a virtue, friend. And at least he found something he likes in life. Get a hobby other than insulting people, because, A) You can't feed your family insults (assuming natural selection doesn't take you out by your 14th birthday), and B) There are about ten people in the world who get paid enough to live on insulting people. Not one of these ten people are you. Jai is a true friend to many, some of which he's never met before, but that doesn't stop him from caring. If more people were like him, the world would be better off by far.
Sorry, Jai, I couldn't resist. Delete this if you feel it necessary. I wish I could post this there without giving some random asshat ten bucks to do so. But it looks like they haven't taken notice of the link for a few days now, so I think this saga was over before we even knew it started. I admire you so much more because of the fact that you aren't mad about this at all. *Salute*

It seems like they're just only posting you because "OMG SONTAILS IS ICKY EW EW". At least your site is a bajillion loads better than The-Site-That-Must-Not-Be-Named, aka Sonadow.com. :P
Thanks for sharing the laughs, Jai. ;D

It doesn't look as if you're taking it poorly, but I'll say it anyway: don't listen to them. ^_^ I'm sure if you peeked into their personal lives, they wouldn't be as "normal" as they think. Keep on loving Sonic! ^_^
