You know, I was tempted to call this blog “Megan Fox Sex Tape” or something like that. Call it a social experiment. Instead, I called it something far more *ahem* subtle.

Oh, funnily enough, at the moment, the blog seems to be a hub of activity for people googling “farmville” or “spongebob squarepants” – something I find very amusing. Spongebob fo life!

It’s funny how the internet works – how the nuances of fame are obvious even online. Look at Youtube. Esmee Denters and Justin Bieber (both of who really aren’t great) have been signed to record companies. Sandi Thom had a similar experience. One of the most read blogs online belongs to a Thai woman who is trying to kiss a different man everyday. Can anyone say herpes magnet! If anyone wants to be really freaked out, google “herpes” with safe settings turned off.

Back to Youtube, and we have the whole Fred vs Nigahiga debacle. fred

That’s a still from Fred Goes Swimming. Apparently there are talks of a full-length Fred movie. Shoot me now.  x_x

What’s the point of this? Ah yes. Internet fame. Would it ever work for books? I don’t mean the internet helping books to go viral, but will it ever happen that publishers will no longer be needed and that e-books will be all the rage? I’ve never read an e-book, except maybe the first couple of pages of that leaked Twilight book told from Edward’s point of view. It was as bad as I expected, although I do detest Twilight. It’s got some wonderful ingredients – thesaurus rape, Mary Sues, a control freak…

 Every sadomachasist’s fantasy.

Kudos to whoever created this genius comic!

Anyways, back to my rather non-existent point. The popularity of E-books. Would you consider having your novel published in this format? I sure as hell wouldn’t. To me it’s like self-publishing – doomed for failure and not a “real” book. But the question is, can these e-books achieve fame? I used to write fanfic. I had 1000 reviews for one story, and over 100,000 hits. Over all, I think I had 400,000 hits.If fanfic can become that popular, why can’t e-books? Maybe people should start releasing audio books through Youtube, or posting their stories on their blogs. Jazz it up with a spiffy title sure to draw people in, e.g. “Lady Gaga is a man”, “Imma let you finish” or “Megan Fox Sex Tape” and see what happens.

Case to point about how ripping on a celeb can make you famous. (Perez Hilton!) So why not apply the same principle to e-books? Ride the wave of a recent fad and see what happens. I’m almost tempted to start writing something online under some sort of clever guise. But sadly, I’m too honest for this shizzle.

I’m also running out of things to say. Oh, hey, I started writing my new play today. The thing is pouring out of me! First 40 minutes are written already. The question remains as to whether they’re any good or not! :) I’m really enjoying writing it. Thank the muses for that. Pity I have to go to college tomorrow. Ew. College is a very underwhelming experience so far. I really need to start going out more or something.

I wish I could have something a bit more intelligible to blog about. Instead ya’ll will have to settle for dopey rants. Oh, and if there’s anyone who’s not a LitDen member reading this, COMMENT! If you don’t, a kitten will die. Oh yes, I went there. Gotta love the Cliché kitten - and yes, Cliché kitten is a technical word! ;)

Ah it seems the kittens are starting a revolution:

Viva la Revolution!

Peace, love and Potter,
