About

Hello there,

If you’re reading, you’ve probably at least skimmed some of the content on this page and are wondering what brilliant (or stupid, depending on your point of view) mind came up with it, or why it’s here in the first place. I figured it wouldn’t kill me to take a few minutes out of my very busy schedule of plotting, brainstorming, and starting flame wars to try to explain.

In a nutshell, I’m a teenager (old enough to be on the internet, still too young to hook up with pedophiles, sorry) who doesn’t agree with much of anything and royally enjoys getting on peoples’ nerves. Or at least, that’s what the critics tell me.

Honestly, I just like to write, and I don’t like a lot of the trends I’m seeing among my peers. I grew up in a technological black hole where my older, less-easily-manipulated parents made sure I thought oldies music, record players, and TVs that are actually still box-shaped with screens smaller than 2×2 feet were normal for most of my formative years, and for that, I am (usually) grateful. Of course, then I woke up one morning and heard Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” playing on my favorite oldies station, and that’s the day I feel my childhood ended. God, I hate Taylor Swift. Hate her, hate her, hate her. And all her little friends, too.

Anyway, on to the rants…

During the summer of 2010, due to a complete lack of anything else to do, I went off on a whim and wrote a long, rambling monologue about annoying photo-editing trends among my peers (and the overall abuse of the word “photography” among lesser minds). For the heck of it, I posted it on facebook. Amazingly, it actually got some response, so I cranked out another one about stupid teenagers who think they’re in love (my second biggest pet peeve) a couple days later, and it, too, received lots of response. A lot of it was good, most of it was bad (coming mostly from the girl had recently broken up with her “fiancee” of roughly 24 hours and wouldn’t shut up about it), but it was fun as heck to read and respond to. Thus, rants were born.

Before you ask, no, I don’t just rant to tick people off. I rant to get people to think, and it seems that I’ve been successful on more than one occasion. I also don’t aim rants at specific people (that I actually know in person… Taylor Swift doesn’t count), though they are often inspired by people I know and usually don’t like. Keep that in mind next time you clutter up my news feed with your whiny crap…

Ahem, nevermind, then. Anyway, thanks for reading this entire useless page, and I hope you enjoy the blog. Regardless of whether or not you agree with me, please feel free to comment, like, whatever. As long as there are no death threats and a minimum of swear words, I’m content. Please feel free to suggest ideas for future rants as well… inspiration is always welcome.

Happy ranting,

Llamaraccoon
