I have a YouTube channel that I’m using for a weird videoart/fiction thing (that desperately needs updating). Anyway, my favorite troll comments so far: “You’d lose some weight if you’d switch to diet soda” (completely unsolicited advice, AND I’m obviously drinking a goddamn diet soda in that very vid, which is part of the vid’s “punchline,” so WTF?), and “You are the ugliest piece of nerd shit I’ve ever seen,” which actually made me laugh because, hey, it was at least a little inventive.

Still, Bri wins this one!

I think my blog would need readers before it gets trolls. I’m not there yet.

The worst thing I’ve ever been called is “a Scottish Bridget Jones”. Which may have been intended as a compliment. I must be boring and inoffensive!

I don’t remember all of the things I’ve been called, but I’ve undergone years of therapy. :-P Being married to a kind, generous, affectionate man who finds me drop-dead sexy has done wonders for my self-esteem. I don’t even remember any of the mean things trolls said to me during high school and college; I just know that I’m much freer about describing my body.

I think Bri wins the prize here!

Alas, I have no fat blog. I’d love to start one. I even have a title for it: Night of the Living Fat. I’m sure if I posted pics of myself on it, the trolls would flock to it like Lindsay Lohan flocks to leggings.

No trolls thank goodness. Only because my LJ is locked to friends only. If it were public and someone got a whiff of my posts on my weight, weight discrimination and what not I’m sure a few trolls would have wandered past. But I have witnessed mass trolling over at the fatfashionista LJ community. >_<

I know it’s a typo, but “Fat Hat Bingo” just cracked me up for about a minute straight. Hee. “You have a fat hat!!!”

Most recently a troll went through several of my posts in a way that suggested they were playing Fat Hat Bingo.

There were all of the typical comments as well as the suggestion that I ought to hang myself, except, oops, no rope would hold my fat ass.

I honestly haven’t heard that one since middle school so it made me burst out laughing.

So I joined OKCupid, which is a silly, fun dating site. They ask you questions and if you’d like you can do a little journal post on the question. One of the questions was, “Would you ever date a highschool dropout?” My answer was yes and it’s because I’m a highschool droput (with a college degree) and I’m proud of it! This was the response one person left:

“As you are responding to a fairly indifferent question, I’m going to make the gross assumption that you are desiring attention- the negative kind. So here goes. Rather then pitter patter with eloquent verbose language, I’m just going to get right to it. As opposed to getting upset with a ‘question’ that wasn’t even directed at you, I’d suggest worrying about your morbid obesity. You’re the worst type of fat: small head and no breasts. With your education, I recommend pursuing a career with a Spanish fitness magazine. Hasta Luego gordo y chica!”

I ended up making a journal post out of his comment and the post ended up getting around 200 comments, good and bad. I stopped trying to make sense of it about 50 comments into the thing, but people were arguing back and forth for a good while until I made the post private. It’s just silly, you know?

Wow, Bri. That means you hit the big time (so to speak).
