krickets: (text | ri-donkey-kong-ulous!)
Personal WTF-ery aside, several days ago I put in my vote for [livejournal.com profile] legomymalfoy in the LiveJournal Advisory Board Elections.

I knew at that point there was some... jokester named jameth running, who seemed to be making a mockery of the whole thing, and doing pretty well in the polls despite that attitude. However, at the time it didn't seem to be that big of a deal. Today, I saw a post at the [livejournal.com profile] sga_newsletter and found out that this super nice fella had somehow gotten a mod at ONTD, one of livejournal's biggest communities, to endorse him, which spiked his votes significantly.

[livejournal.com profile] bookshop posted something about that in more detail here. And here is an interesting post by [livejournal.com profile] icarusancalion.

Now, I'm as skeptical as the next person when it comes to whether or not I think this is going to be taken seriously by livejournal in the first place. But if it is? I do not want somebody like that representing me, and you, and everybody else in fandom. That is for damn sure. So this is partially me tossing in my endorsement for [livejournal.com profile] legomymalfoy, who at this point seems the best shot at beating that guy, and very fandom-friendly. And part of this is my joining in (what I'm sure will be) the chorus in saying that we cannot let someone like that represent us. I urge everybody out there to go vote, and to tell your flists to vote, etc. etc. So, chop, chop. I know there's a ton of you guys out there.

I voted for [livejournal.com profile] legomymalfoy (1), [livejournal.com profile] rm (2), & [livejournal.com profile] vichan (3).

Get out the vote ← info on the fandom candidates, etc.

001. Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] falseeeyelashes: TOP FIVE MEME.
Ask me for my top five whatevers, be it fandom or what-have-you, and I'll answer back in a post with awesome evidence, namely in the form of pics and a lot of caps-lock.

002. The computer lab is closed today so fucking everybody is in here and wants to type shit. But... we don't have computers that do that. It sucks, but it's not my fault. Take it easy, buddy. Also? Coughing Girl, yes that's your new name, please go get a drink of water or get out. I have sympathy for sick people, but this is a very small library and everyone can hear you! Besides, I'm pretty sure she's just checking her myspace! She could step into the hall for a couple minutes, have her coughing fit, and come back. Also? College library? Keep the kids quiet or keep them at home. And no cell phones! This is non-negotiable. LAUGHING? WHY IS THERE LAUGHING? None of these rule-breakers would be in here if the computer lab wasn't closed. *sighhhh* I need to remind myself that I love my job.

003. I love my job. I have cramps. I love my job. In or out, people! I love my job. I love my job.

004. I want to go home and download BSG!
