pfft.

Okay, so I just got through my first class of the semester. The class is "Online Communities." One of the final project options is to conduct a social study of an existing online community.

I immediately thought of campfuckudie.

And then took a second to really consider what a social study of CFUD would reveal.

...

I'm not gonna do it, but can you all understand why I started cracking the hell up in the middle of class?

I don't think my prof is ready for that.

Oh, but you should!

Man, I'd probably have to spend 20 pages just explaining LJ RP and a lot of the comm in-jokes. Even if I did h_h instead. Can you imagine trying to explain Duck Waffle in the context of a graduate study report? XD

...although it is worth noting that this would be a rare chance with repeatedly using the word "fuck" in the text and the TITLE of a graduate project and totally getting away with it. NOT A GOOD REASON TO PICK A STUDY SUBJECT but it amuses the hell out of me.

...That would be amazing.

WHAT. WE'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU? Or too good!

See, I like this professor. I actually don't want to traumatize him.

...also I think there's got to be some distance involved and that would at least mean I'd have to hiatus from playing while I was doing the study.

Oh yes, don't do that. We want you arooooound~ ♥

See, this is why I decided not to post to CFO; I'd either terrify too many people-- or, more likely, people would try to enable me into doing it and I don't wanna give up playing for the semester.

I would foray into one of the Twilight online comms myself, but only because I'm evil and like the cheap laughs.

You think someone in the class is going to attempt 4chan? I'd pay good money to see the reaction.

Well, since the final presentation is an online peer review (the whole class gets to see what everybody else did for their project and comment) there'd be a LOT of reactions to go through. Probably a lot of hysterical laughter.

...I know I did a 10-page paper on 4chan Anonymous language, so I am not the kind of person that can disable these things. The sad thing is I wanted to cover LJ fandom, but figured that would be even more geeky, and I already had to spend forever explaining what memes were.

MY POINT IS THAT I ALWAYS ENABLE THE GEEKY OPTIONS

Some things are too much fun to dissect, though.

YOU SHOULD DO IT FOR GREAT JUSTICE.

[weirdweb.livejournal.com]

But I want to actually PLAY this semester. XD

[pussyfortono]

Who do you play?

[thecarisboring.livejournal.com]

^ TOO LAZY TO LOG OUT OF THIS RP ACCOUNT

Also Remy. XD

...I fail at remembering who plays who ALL THE TIME.

[pussyfortono]

OOOH! I was wondering if you were in CFUD or not when I checked your profile.

...It would be amazing though!
