Which, ahem, "internets" clichés do you wish would go away already?
1. Well, we can start by stopping the use of the word "internets", "interwebs" or any variation thereof to describe the internet. It was only funny for a brief second back in 2004 when President Bush used the term in all seriousness.
2. LOL-or-ROFL anything. LOLercopter, LOLercoaster, ROFLcopter, LOLcano. And there are even ACSII images to go with a couple of those, if not all.
3. DaMnIt, sToP tYpInG lIkE tHiS!
4. The use of "chatspeak" or chat room shorthand in actual blog entries.
And as far as internet memes go.
I'm still not tired of:
Lolcats, but it's getting to the point where Lolspeak is leaking outside the macros into everyday internet interaction, and I'm going to start hating it. :/
ORLY? / YA RLY and that owl or variants thereof haven't gotten me tired yet surprisingly... I still find them amusing.
Badger, badger, badger MUSHROOM! The Numa Numa guy! BANANAPHONE! The Llama Song! Peanut Butter Jelly Time! Chuck Norris jokes! DO NOT WANT! All the 300 and THIS IS SPARTA randomness! Each still make me giggle, though I get annoyed after a minute or so. LOL!
On the flip side of that, you can completely KEEP the likes of:
Goatse, Tub Girl, Lemon Party and 2 Girls 1 Cup. It's just utter
revolting grossness, honestly. I came across Goatse completely by
accident awhile back and I'm scarred for life thank you very much. UGH.
There are just certain things you cannot unsee.
What's your morning beverage of choice? Coffee, tea, juice? Homemade or store-bought?
Coffee, man. Nice and strong, cream and two sugar. I'm no good until I've had my coffee. If bought outside, meaning I haven't made it myself, I'll go for Starbucks.
What treats do the kids in your family leave out for Santa? What treats did you leave for him as a child?
Well I'm not sure, there are only the two boys of my uncle's now, everyone else is all grown up. Don't know what they do. When I was a kid, we'd leave out cookies and egg nog for Santa and a couple of carrots for the reindeer. :)
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to everyone out there in Vox land! xxoo!
Who's the most annoying person on TV?
Oh that's easy. Dr. Phil.
The annoying arse.
Oh, and the runner up?
Kelly Ripa.Um don't believe me? Watch her stupid Tide To Go Pen commercials sometime. Particularly the one with her husband, in the restaurant singing "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)" in the most off key, annoying bray ever.
What word(s) do you always make a typo in?
Sometimes though I know it's "a lot" I type it "alot". Other than that, I don't have one I constantly typo. Maybe mixing up letters like "teh" for "the" but other than that nothing. I am one who always checks myself before posting anything, I hate making typos! LOL!
Do you have any phobias?
Submitted by Amirul B Ruslan.
Clowns. I've had a fear and loathing of them since I was frightened out of my wits by one at a circus when I was little. They are just creepy. Do. Not. Want.
Cockroaches. EW.
Spiders. OMG NO!
What were your New Year's resolutions for 2006? How did you do?
I didn't make any then and I won't be making any for the following year. I never keep them anyway. LOL!!
Where do you do your online shopping?
Mostly Nordstrom, Amazon.com, Sephora and LUSH.
What's your favorite song to sing karaoke-style? If you don't have one, why not?
Me and Bobby McGee, man! I think I do a pretty mean version of it.
Also ABBA songs are hella fun to karaoke. Particularly Waterloo and Dancing Queen.
What is your favorite way to relieve stress?
A nice soak in a hot bath of marvellously scented water with candles burning and relaxing music on my iPod.
