You can disregard that last entry, my tablet pen appears to be working again :B

I haven't drawn anything in a long time. Today I was actually going to sit down and draw something... only to discover that my tablet wasn't registering the movement of the pen at all!

I tried to Google for help but the only solution that came up that seemed at all feasible was to just buy a new one. There were a few DIY hardware-fixing solutions which involved screwdrivers and such. I don't know much about that... but if I can't fix it any other way maybe I should try it? The pen isn't working at all right now so even if I mess up it's not like it can get any MORE broken than it is. A new tablet pen apparently costs about $30. I don't think I want to pay that much, especially when I haven't even been drawing that much lately...

Anyone have any suggestions? Is there an easier way to fix my Wacom tablet pen than taking a screwdriver to it? ._.

I suppose for now I'll be doing purely traditional art, which won't be too much of a problem for the lineart, but I'm horrible at coloring traditionally...

P.S: The moods aren't loading for me so it's just stuck at what it was the last time I wrote a journal. Oh well, it's not that important.

first 10 people to post get 3 deviations featured
here. BUT you have to do the same thing in your journal.

This is a picture of Buttercup. MY BIAS IS OBVIOUS. But you have to admit it is quite cute.

=yay-ninja-bob AND I have just set up a PPG website called Freedom Beef. It is our first baby together. :3 It doesn't have much on it yet but, the forums are up, so go check 'em out!

So Gemma, aka Snapesnogger, is on her third account on deviantART. I'm not going to link to it; go dig it up yourself if you must.

Anyway. Wanna know what I think of Gemma? The first time I saw her, I thought, "Well... her art's not THAT bad but I don't really like it... I find it unsettling for some reason I can't place." Not that I had a problem with the hermaphrodite nagas, or whatever; it was the art style I found unsettling, probably due to the lack of noses. So then I did this magical thing called IGNORING HER! I know it sound preposterous, but in the land of the Internet we are equppied with all kinds of magical tools to help us ignore each other. (Hint: Try using them! Your life will improve in seconds!!!)

Later, I learned about all the drama and shit surrounding her, but by that point her art had actually improved a lot. In fact, she actually draws noses now! Holy fucking shit!!! She stopped listening to her retarded fanbase when they told her "OMG DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR ART EVAH CUZ IT IS TEH SHIT" and actually started trying to improve. She's still not my favorite artist, but she's gotten a lot better, and I daresay her attitude has improved at least a little bit as well.

So what am I getting at, here? Well now we have all these kids who have just stumbled across this little website called "4chan." Sure, it's been around a long time, but I mean these kids have just discovered it, maybe a month ago. Maybe they saw the incredibly unbiased report on Fox News. Maybe their friends on Gaia Online were using all the memes wrong and they all had a good chuckle. Whatever the reason, these kids have decided that becoming a "/b/tard" will make them all hip cats. Now these pathetic little social rejects have finally found a group where they can belong. It's easy! All you have to is vomit the same stock phrases out of your mouth over and over again, and you will be super cool and funnies!!1

Oh, and you know what else will make you a super cool /b/tard? Making fun of people on the Internet! Yeah, now this shit is REALLY gonna impress people. BUT WAIT! We've hit a roadblock here! Making fun of people usually requires some amount of intelligence and effort. However will I blend in with my new social group NOW??!!?

Don't worry, kids! There's a site out there that will help you with this. It is called "Encyclopedia Dramatica." You can go there, and read about all the past drama people have caused, to help you find easy targets for your mockery. Since we're all... "devianTARTlets," whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean, let's take a look at some of the deviantART... I mean devianTART articles. Hey wow, this chick named "Snapesnogger" sure has a big article! Let's read it!

...

Okay, we're done. That sure was a funny article, huh? SO funny in fact, that we're going to go to Gemma's new account and harass her some more, because GOD FUCKING KNOWS she hasn't had enough people on this website harass her already! So we'll do that, and then we'll be super popular too, RIGHT??!

Actually, no. Because Gemma is fucking old news. It isn't funny any more. It is a dead horse. It is deader than a dead horse. It is a dead horse that came back from the dead as a zombie only to be killed again and go to Hell and then be killed again in Hell... repeat ad nasuem. So you can just STOP beating that horse already, all right?

Gemma hasn't done anything remotely noteworthy in years. These days it's all "OH MY CRISPY GODDDD!! Gemma posted a journal! She's still alive and sometimes she does things! Today she ate a piece of TOAST!!! She sure is a whiny bitch, eating toast like that! I better post to deviantartsnark about this so everyone can love me, because I'm too fucking pathetic to even come up with a new person to make fun of in my desperate attempt for validation."

I normally wouldn't take making fun of people on the Internet so seriously, but these people are going pretty fucking far. Why do I say this? As I said at the beginning of this journal, she is on her third account here. Why is this? She's not making new accounts just because she came up with a username that she likes better than her old one. It's to get away from you assholes.

But guess what? Each time she tries to start a new account and hide, it's found within a matter of seconds by jerks with no lives, who then proceed to harass it into oblivion instantly. By this point she can't get away from you fucksticks unless she just leaves the Internet for good. As long as that ED article is there to preserve all those screencaps of her past mistakes, her online reputation is forever ruined. She could become Mother Teresa and give you all a bucket of puppies that poop joy and you would still hate her because of some shit you read on the Internet, about some shit she did a few years ago.

Even if you truly believe she deserves to be ridiculed, hasn't she gotten enough of it already? Do you really need to keep doing it?

How fucking worthless of a person do you have to be to constantly badmouth her like this and talk about how much you hate her... yet AT THE SAME TIME, be stalking her and editing her ED article the instant she so much as takes a shit, and find her new accounts within seconds of her creating them? Are you all closet Gemma fans or something? Do you secretly masturbate to her pregnant hermaphrodite nagas every night, but you don't want anyone to know so you cover it up with pretend hate? What the christ?

And don't give me this bullshit about "Oh you're a Snogger fanbrat and you're just BUTTHURT because our cunning wit is so sharp and brilliant that your knees go weak at the mere utterance of our clever insults ohohohoho." No, you dipshits. I'm NOT her fan, or her friend. I don't like her art and I've never spoken to her in my entire life. I'm not sticking up FOR HER; I'm sticking up AGAINST YOU. And I'm certainly not "butthurt," because you fuckwits can't even come up with a decent enough insult to truly offend me. You pretend to be clever by flinging around words like "tartlet" and "lolcow" and "butthurt," but you're just copying what you see in hopes it will make you cool on the Internet.

I just think you all are a bunch of morons who need to be hit in the face with a frying pan repeatedly until your eyeballs begin to resemble fried eggs. And I think that if you can devote this much time and energy to stalking the activity of someone you claim to hate, then you're a thousand times more pathetic than the people you make fun of.
