RANT TIME

Harry Potter book release: don't worry, no spoilers.

Showed up at seven, in full costume for a nine am release. Devoted no? I was one of the few to dress up, and I was the best-dressed. I'm not being vain, I honestly had the most detailed and accurate costume there.

We were told in line, that the best-dressed person in line gets to open the box and have the first Half-Blood Prince book. So, I'm a shoo-in, aren't I?

WRONG.

****ing moo brings her bratty sprog in at 8:59am dressed in a generic Kmart cape with stars and glitter and ****ing gaudy BLAH. Twig for a wand.

OMG WITTLE PWESHUS SO CUTE OMG YOU CAN OPEN THE BOX AND HAVE THIS BOOK YOU CAN'T READ AND *fawning fawning, blatant breederism etc*

THE ****ING KID WON'T EVEN REMEMBER THIS. THE BOX OPENING WAS MINE. MIIIIINE.

I wouldn't have minded if someone had said "Oh look Sass, you are best-dressed but would you mind if this land-mine amputee opened the box instead?" I would have said "Absolutely no problem. Go for it." But no. ****ING CROTCHDROPPING GETS THE HONOUR. I'm furious. On principle of course, not out of any sense of entitlement. Well yes, entitlement also. But I WORKED FOR IT, I DESERVED IT.

I made an effort. I spent money making an effort. I showed up early. I will remember and treasure this event for ever and eternity. And I'm passed over for an ugly little brat with a sparkly tie. Woo ****ing woo.

I didn't stab her in the eye with my wand. I WANTED to. I talked about doing so VERY ****ING LOUDLY. I was going to eviscerate her mother with the cover of my brand-new copy.

I ****ing hate breeders and child-lovers. ****ING GO TO HELL.

I'm so pissed about this, sorry. It's just that in ten years time, this kid won't remember what she was doing on July 16th 2005. In ten years time, I will be remembering how I was deprived of this nerdly honor by an opportunistic **** breeder and her shitling. I'm hurt. All my life, nothing has gotten to me more than being deliberately ignored, or passed over. Honestly; that's the sort of thing that can make me cry in public. Or key your car. Or viciously murder you and your family in the heat of frustration and never-ending denial Congratulations breeders, you win.

Edited to add: To all of you who are calling me immature etc, I'd like to add that you make a very good point, but have you considered GO **** YOURSELF? If you're so anal-retentive, go back to the other community and go on with your breeder-humping. Also, to the person who submitted this to fandom_wank, I seriously (no sarcasm) thank you. I've always wanted to be there!

Thanks for the laugh. Some HP fans are loony tunes.

That's a great rant. S/he needs to take his/her medicine.

Apple Pro Underwear · Jul 21, 2005, 03:24 PM

was the kid "disabled" in some way?

if so, thats f*cked up of this blogger. if it was a normal brat... then i think he/she's right.

By the way, since he didn't feel like spoiling it: They all die at the end except for Ron, who goes back in time to prevent it.

Any thoughts on why this guy keeps referring to "breeders"?

There used to be some middle-aged guy who had a Hermione fansite up. Complete with 18th birthday countdown. It was ....incredibly disturbing.

Because anyone who would spend time reproducing when they could be basking in the glory of Harry Potter is obviously not fit to be grouped in with the rest of civilized humanity.

So it's a geeks way of justifying not being able to get girls?

budster101 · Jul 21, 2005, 03:45 PM

odd <--- understatement of the millenium.

Did you read that last paragraph? Holy "Psycho" Batman, that person is quite two bricks shy of a full load.

I mean, her book doesn't have a last page.

"a few kangaroos short in the top paddock"
"two sandwiches short of a picnic"
"not the sharpest tool in the shed"
"toys in the attic"
"the lights are on but there's nobody home"
"not the sharpest knife in the drawer"
"not the brightest bulb on the string"
"one French fry short of a Happy Meal"
"one donut short of a dozen"
"he's a quart low in the crankcase"
"the engine's runnin' but ain't nobody driving"
"he's crazier than a road-runnin' lizard"
"crazy as a loon"
"if all his brains were dynamite, he couldn't blow his nose"
"dumb as a stump"
"smart as a whip"

Edit:

Elevator doesn't go to the top floor.
Stairs don't go all the way up.
The bulp is there, just no electricity.
wacked out of her gord.
The lights are on but nobody is home...

Doesn't "Smart as a whip" still mean you're really smart or has that changed?

I though it was 'quick as a whip'?

Not having read the site, I'd guess because he's gay.

EdGein · Jul 21, 2005, 05:36 PM

What do gays have against people who make other gays?

Don't they realize that they come from breeders? If it wasn't for a breeder, they wouldn't exist?

Or maybe that is why he doesn't like people that have kids...

Weird.

Link · Jul 21, 2005, 07:16 PM

I assure you two things:

1. I don't like Harry Potter books...
2. I'd never, ever carry that attitude.

"Breeders" ? How does he think he got here?

Retard.

legacyb4 · Jul 22, 2005, 10:30 AM

Just quickly reading through the responses makes my neck hairs stand on end...

I think "breeders" refers to women and/or parents?

I was beaten out by the pregnasaurus dressed as a pumpkin (awww soooo pwecious *gag*), another preg dressed as a lady bug (kill me now) and the lady dressed as a damn mother (baby carriage, doll as "baby" and diaper bag full of brat suplies). Am I bitter after almost 5 years? $#&! yeah I am, damn irritating to waste all that time to win a contest and be beaten out by breeders who weren't even original.

What floored me were the terms "moo" and "duh"...

It could be -'breeder' is sometimes used as a slur against straight people- but from the tone of the post it sounds more like this is a militantly-'childfree' person. Most gay people I know wouldn't refer to children as 'crotchdroppings'. Neither would most childfree people, actually, but the militant ****wits in this latter category are particularly fond of the term. This would also explain the "cf_hardcore" community title: the CF stands for 'childfree' while the 'hardcore' stands for 'angry morons'.

But I digress. Dude, it's a freaking cosplay. I cosplay too, and I'm probably more hardcore about it than you are, but I don't get all bent out of shape over losing a contest, even if I don't think the winner deserved it. I certainly don't intend on whining about not getting to open a box ten years after the fact.

Now, has someone called in the LJDrama folks about this?
[EDIT:Evidently they have. WARNING: They play the replace-anti-child-words-with-racial-slurs game in the comments, so this may not be safe for some workplaces]

I read Harry Potter, I like the series, and I think it's very well written, even gripping fiction. But... as an "adult" I have to say that the individual doing the rant is definitely NOT acting as an adult. The ranter seems to be of legal age, but not of adult faculties...not only does the ranter need to take the medicine the nice doctor gave, but the ranter needs to see the doctor again-maybe for an extended period of time.

From Carol Burnett:
He's got splinters in the windmills of his mind.
Somebody blew out his pilot light.
He's playing with a warped hockey puck.

From elsewhere:
A few fries short of a happy meal (no, a LOT of fries short...)
Not playing with a full deck
A five-watt mind in a 100-watt world

Oh, yeah; some more adjectives:

A few notes short of a Gesualdo mass
The wheels are spinning, but the hamster is dead
The lights are on, and someone's playing Tetris on the back wall
Nucking Futs
Sharp as an elbow
His mind is as clear as mud
He writes fanfics like this

He's never gotten laid in his life, and won't ever, given his insane attitude toward dressing up for the release of a children's book and his obsessive insistence that he'll still be bitter about it 10 years down the line. This is the problem with taking yourself too seriously.

ThinkInsane · Jul 22, 2005, 01:53 PM

With most people, I'd be like "You've got so much to live for, suicide isn't the answer, think of your family and friends blah blah blah", but for this twit I think it'd be more like "Yeah, you probably should...".

Dude... this guy needs to, um, how do you say, get a life!?

Although the concept of kids being awarded just because they're "cute" does piss me off. I've seen some pretty bad sh!t going on, ie the kids parents being in cahoots with the judges (this was at some guitar contest) But this thing, I mean, who WANTS to open the first box of harry potters!!??

Yeah, the point about lame-ass contests is valid. The entire tone of the post is...not.

CreepingDeth · Jul 22, 2005, 02:43 PM

There's a reason she's child-free: she couldn't get ****ed if she dressed up like a slut in a bar full of AA members.

She probably has 8 cats.

Chuckit · Jul 22, 2005, 02:53 PM

Her parents probably won't let her have eight cats — according to her site, she's only 18, and judging from how much free time she apparently has...

CreepingDeth · Jul 22, 2005, 02:55 PM

'She needs to get laid…big time.'

nah, she'd kick you in the balls and call you a breeder in the middle of the place.

Indeed, but frankly I have a few questions. Keep in mind, the only source we have for any of this is a mentally-unstable angry idiot with a grudge to nurse. She hasn't posted any pictures of her costume, so we can't even tell whether or not hers was really any good. I doubt she'd have pictures of the kid's costume, but for all we know the kid could have had authentic movie props. If she's so confident in her own costume, then let's have a look and judge for ourselves.
