I checked my LJ today not to see who was boycotting versus not, but because I'm a fandom addict and the Ten Doctors comic was updated today.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for fandom. I just can't quit it. ~_~;;

What I gotta say appalls me is how many people got ANNOYED over the fact that people like me participated in the boycott.

You know what? When the War on Iraq began, I participated in classes on civil disobedience and attended a few rallys. Did it make a difference? Probably not. But you know what? I was exercising my rights. We don't get those elsewhere.

So, people, take a fucking page from Thelema already: Do what thou Wilt shall be the whole of the Law. If people wanted to not do the boycott and continue posting, GREAT. If it's your Will to do so. If people wanted to participate in the boycott, GREAT. If it's your Will to do so.

I can't believe how many people were WHINING that people chose not to post in their own fucking LJs. Holy shit, people. And talk about meta: whining about WHINING.

I've seen some divided times, but man, I've never seen BOTH sides get so incredibly highstrung before.

Read my lips: it's your own fucking LJ. Do what thou Wilt. And guess what? That means everyone else has the right to do the same, and they have the right to exercise their LJ as they see fit to express themselves. That's the whole point of having a fucking journal. And if choosing not to post in it for a full day is their choice of expression, SO BE IT.

Omgs. People. WTF.

shadesong also tells it like it is. Great, some of you intelligently communicated why you wouldn't participate. Kudos, I respect your opinion and even more your ability to communicate it without being a wiseass. No need to get nasty, snarky, or asshole-ish to those who did.

Have you ever purchased an e-book?

If yes to the previous question, what made you buy it?

Where have you heard about ebooks advertised in the past?

Edit: If you have never before purchased an ebook and you had the option of buying one, what would make you decide to do so? Please comment and let me know. :)

Sadly the people who need to read this the most are not on Livejournal. This is not just with one incident but several so don't think that one person inspired this--it would have to take much more than that to post something like this. Call it my time to vent regardless.

If one more person gives me shit for not responding to any emails, IMs, or inquiries or not being psychic enough to know that I'm supposed to know about something that they haven't bothered to even email or talk to me about, I'm going to staple a bagel to their face and remove it with a pitchfork a la Weird Al Yankovic.

Superwoman has left the building. I cannot deal with work, my employer, my book, KTO classes, publisher chats, write essays for various magickal orders, doctor's appts, and attend important social events AND be on the Internet 24/7 AND read all of your minds. I'm sorry. Sometime, I have to be, ya know, human. And I have to sleep. And I'm running more than a little low on that past few weeks. Patience too. Patience is also at an all-time premium. Combine that with entering my monthly PMS stage and I'm really not someone to be nagged about right now on anything. Take a number and a steaming cup of STFU.

Make that TWO glasses of alcohol for lunch. Oi theoi athanatoi.

Edit: Oh and yeah, PS, I haven't had a single weekend free to myself in over a month.
