2. Keep counting down the hours until tonight's Pretty Little Liars after last week's amazing (and very viddable!) cliffhanger
3. Find someone to talk me out of using "Like 4chan for girls" (source) as the title of my Symposium blog post on anon culture in fandom
3b. Figure out if I even have, like, a thesis or a point or anything useful to say for said blog post
4. OMG only 6 more hours until Pretty Little Liars! (Hint: that's enough time to catch up on the first six episodes if you haven't been watching)

Though I guess /b/ is busy with Gawker this week.
As the corpse, I mean.
In all seriousness, when
Well, technically, I've got a Muse song stuck in my head thanks to multiple viewings of one of obsessive24's vids over the last couple days, but I can't see myself using "Map of the Problematique" for a post title, even if the lyrics aren't completely irrelevant:
Life will flash before my eyes
So scattered and lost
I want to touch the other side
And no one thinks they are to blame
Why can't we see
That when we bleed we bleed the same
If you are in need of a pithy quote for a title, I recommend any of the golden nuggets to be gleaned from the anon meme itself. I've been copypastaing various as they befall my eyeballs, and I offer you:
"I find the fandom penchant for controlling, boundary-crossing families (see: Mitchell Clan) completely baffling."
Response: "Probably because fandom itself wants to be a controlling, boundary-crossing family."
"People seem to forget that sometimes they should feel ashamed of themselves." (This is from F_W, the Vividcon Bingo Wank, not the anon meme.)
My best subject line for an LJ post was lifted directly from the LA Times article I linked to -- "I, seriously, was like the Lindsay Lohan of scrapbooking."
My subject lines have been going downhill ever since.
"What's with the fucking chicken?"
Actually, I meant to fandom. Comparing the anons to 4chan would enrage them, and frankly they would be justified in that.
It's annoying to (some of) the guys in LJ fandom and the girls in 4chan?
Though it's certainly snappy.
*goes back to the drawing board to brainstorm post titles*
*checks calendar to see how long until September*
We should start setting up appointments and such in the summer, if at all possible. I'll be staying with a friend who's deeeeeep in Brooklyn, iirc, and she says it takes 2 to 3 hours to go to Manhattan from her place, so I doubt I'll do it too many times... But still. Planning some time, yes.
