I'm going to take a slight detor from Chloe and Jimmy's relationship to gush a bit about my fellow Chimmy lover and best internet friend, borednow. I met her on a Clois fansite.
*Violins Play*
It can be pretty lonely on the internet. People are often unfriendly and harshly opinionated. Even on a wonderful site about Clois, it's possible to feel misunderstood. I often feel misunderstood and lonely online. But where else can I do stupid stuff like over analyze Smallville?
*Upbeat big band music plays*
Well, it was in this spirit that borednow and I became friends. borednow refused to follow the herd in worshiping Jonathan Kent and burning Lionel Luthor in effigy. borednow expressed her displeasure when a prominent personage on a forum used the word “slut.” All this painted a virtual target on borednow’s head for a little while around the forum. I doubt that she cared. But I did and I sent her a little PM saying that I got what she was saying and sent her Karma (the forum equivalent of a thumbs up and wink). Smiting is flipping the bird at someone; or maybe making a disgusted “ug” sound at them and sneering. From there we started chatting through PM about who knows what. Later she comforted me when I was bludgeoned for making flippant comments about the influence of Kristin Kruek’s acting on Lana Lang’s character.
We've been internet friends for more than a year now. Wow! Time flies.
We share Smallville shipping preferences, so that's been fun. borednow had introduced me to many wonderful things: Girl Genius, Fruit's Basket, See's Chocolates and so much more. I will continually add to the collection below. It'll be like my little treasure trove of borednow fun!
Yay! Three cheers for google chat. By the by did you know that a google is the large number consisting of the digit 1 followed by 100 zeroes? Yup! It was coined in 1902 by nine-year-old Milton Sirotta (Can you imagine naming your son Milton! Milton Bradley made board games.) nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. Thanks ask.com!
(Yes I’m aware that best-est is NOT a word but… borednow gives me the warm fuzzies.)
Thanks to World's Finest, karenjade, Our Mystery and others for the screencaptures.
