This is entirely ack_attack's fault. Between read_hp and one of the questions at hp_fridayfive, this was bound to happen soon anyway...

Banning Morons 101

This is not what I was going to rant about earlier, but for the benefit of me not hitting something and for that of others who have this problem, rant I shall.

The problem, you ask?
Trolls.

I'm not talking Harry Potter mountain trolls or LotR cave trolls. I'm taking about serial-adders and malicious spammers. I've had five of them add me since the day HBP came out (not a huge span of time). That first one spoiled the book for me. I commented in their journal about how angry they made me, which was my first mistake in the whole business. I didn't yet know how to deal with trolls.
Today, after being added by yet another troll, I decided to go back to that first one and delete my comments just in case, so they couldn't bother me. I found this just a bit down from my deleted comment.
Warning- the username of this account contains spoilers for HBP -link- (Post no longer there- they said I should have been killed at birth. How nice.).
Now, that really upset me. Almost to the point of 1)wanting to cuss them out and 2)wanting to cry just a bit, but then I remembered that they were just trolls who didn't know me, so the most I could do is get the word out. Please don't comment in that journal. It only encourages them. I imagine they'll be all over me after this anyway. Bring it on, you assholes.

Here's a quick how-to on troll.
Part 1- Spotting a Troll
Some one has just friended you. If they have not asked permission to do so, you should always check them out before friending them back. You should check the list of friends to see if you have any mutual friend. Do the same with their groups. Often if you share some of these things, this person is not a troll. But not always. The next step is to check their last post. Trolls often have only one or two posts which usually contain something offensive. Also the comments will be filled with people asking to be de-friended. THAT'S YOUR BIGGEST HINT OF ALL. Once you've identifed a troll, DO NOT comment on their journal to defriend you. If you do, you're giving them the ability to not only harass you at will, but also to spread your username to other trolls. You should go back and delete all your comments in their journal so they can't mess with you anymore before moving on.

Part 2- Removal
So you've spotted a troll. Now it's time to get ride of them. Saddly, you can't make them defriend you, but you can ban them. Banning makes it so some one can not comment on your journal using their user name and removes them from your 'Friends Of' list. To ban someone do the following
Go to http://www.livejournal.com/admin/console/
In the text area, type ban_set username
And of course, you replace 'username' with their's.
Click 'Execute'.
The Troll is now banned.

So now that troll can no longer bother you. The problem with trolls however, is that they tend to travel in packs. Watch out. You should also consider turning off Anon comments, just to be safe.

Hope that was helpful.

My journal is called what it's called for a good reason...

kilted — Mon, 25 Apr 2005 07:41:29 GMT

Now, I'm warning you all. This is about to be a post of me trying to justify my silly little obsession (just guess what that could be). If you don't want to see this, and it's possible you won't, I recommend looking the other way...

If any of you had known me say, when I was in elementary school as was a super tough little cookie, hanging out with only a few boys and having the rest throughly afraid of me for no good reason, you won't recognize me now. Hell, even if you knew me in middle school and parts of high school you'd say I'm not the same person I was (just ask Caly- she's known me the longest). I never talked about emotions, or guys. I hung out with them and scared them off once in a while, but oh no, Danielle doesn't get crushes- that's what every one thought. Why am I so different now, you ask? Because I've become far more open with my emotions... I blame the internet, I really do. Or maybe I blame the movies? Hmmm... let me explain.

The first time I watched Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring and dear Leggy popped up on the screen, I found myself thinking "Ooo, he sure is pretty." And that's were it all began. Yes my friends, I used to fangirl Orlando (we'll get to fangirling later though). I spent a ton of time collecting pics of him for no other reason than having them. It's not like I sat at my computer and browsed through them in my spare time- they were just there. I did print off a couple to draw in my sketch book, but that was it... I also had a nice collection of interviews and such as well that I listened to (then again, I'm yet another silly american girl who's a sucker fomr british accents).

But then one day I sat down and thought about it all... What the hell was I doing? Obsessing over a guy I'd probably never meet and why? Cause he's pretty? I'm not that shallow, or at least I hope I'm not. And then I thought about all the movies I'd seen Orlando in and came to a realization. The boy probably couldn't act his way out of a paper bag even if there was a bright neon sign pointing towards the exit... People just cast him casue he looks good in period peices (but maybe Kingdom of Heaven will prove me wrong. I hope so, but I doubt it).

And so I moved on.

And then I began to think about the little hobbit who had grabbed my attention in FotR when his eyes went wide and he said "Buckleberry ferry! Follow me!" I hadn't read the books yet and had no idea what he was talking about. I thought it was some bit of nosense thing, 'buckle berry fairy' kind of hobbits 'ready, set, go!' type of thing... So I started doing my research. And that's how I came to be a Dom fan. I found tons of pictures and lots of interviews and I came to realize that 1- This guys had a brain in his head, 2- He has a great sense of humor, and 3- We have a scarily large number of things in common. Oh baby, I was hooked.

It was about that time that I started coming to livejournal. Now, I had a quite the collection of Dom pics (and still do if you check out my photobuckets), but I began to notice and join lj groups and gather more pics and interviews and such. And then I learned about Lost. Hell, I named my dearly departed gecko after Dom's character the July before the show aired because I was so excited.

And then the show aired. I was floored. It was (and is) wonderful. I had never been so addicted to anything in my whole up to that point and then out of nowhere, I'm blind sided with two addicts at once. And seriously, I'd even watch Lost if Dom wasn't on there, it's that effing good.

Now, it was about the time that Lost showed up that I really started to notice what we like to call fangirls. I understand that I qualify as a fangirl these days, but let me tell you, I'm the anti-fangirl fangirl. I know where to draw the line, which an alarming number of girls out there don't. Like when people were talking about Dom going out with Evi, a lot of fangirls were pissed and wanted blood. I on the other hand, was happy for them. Good for them, and goo luck. (Although it turns out they weren't going out... I've got a quote about that straight from Dom.) I think it's silly to go around being mad at people for finding someone to be with, because we must remember, celebrities are people too- with *gasp* their own lives and everything. If you have been experiencing symptoms of fangirling, check yourself and then seek help at your local fangirl rehab center a-sap.

So now that I'm deep in the LotR and Lost fandoms and throughly hooked on Dom, I decided to sit myself down again and sort things out. Why do I like Dom?
-Funny as hello
-Smart and clever and such
-(adorable as all get out, but I try not to be shallow like that)
-Very Talented
-Eco-consious (huzzah for the trees)
-Is a genuine person. He's truly not afraid to be himself, insecurites and all.
-Very honest and open (god, did you read the Rolling Stone article and the one below?)
-Stuff in common (I find even more by this time and am a tad freaked out- there are even mannerism involved.)
-Heck, he even has cool pet- lizards, spiders, scorpions, a mantis, etc.
I realized something then. Unlike with Orli, who I'm sure is a wonderful guy, I couldn't find a reason to shake my Dom fix. And so I'm hooked. And everytime my devotion starts to wain, Dom does something cute, or says something amazing, or whatever, and I'm pulled back in. It used to bother me that I was so addicted to something- that I was letting it take over my life, but you know what? I'm happy, so why should it bother me? See?

My fandom is justifiable.

And yes, I know the fact that I feel I have to defend myself says something in and of it self... If you want to debate any of this with me, poke fun at me, or whatever, just go for it- bring it on! And now for some fun stuff!

acroamatica posted a translation of Dom's interview in BRAVO, a greman mag. Check it out here.
A few notable quotes-

"And to get food for his pets, the chameleon "Karma" and two Egyptian scorpions, he even crawls on the ground in the dirt - to catch beetles. That his colleagues find that comical doesn't bother him: "I'm fine with that - after all, I'm European...""
Stuff like that is why I like Dom. He's weird and he knows it an he's okay with it...

"There are these rumours, because we went to the Golden Globes film award ceremony together in January. But, although Evi is great: I am single!"
*ahem* Now, not that I was ever mad about the whole Dom/Evi thing, but look! The rumors can end now, so stop hating Evi you silly fangirls! Personally, though I don't care for Kate much, I really like Evi- I think she's lovely and wonderful, so there.

""I want to fall in love again, have children and be a great father - and I am afraid that I will die before I can experience that.""
Seriously? That makes me want to hug Dom good, long, and hard. I bet he'll be a great dad someday...

snagged from tarnishedhalo

Found this one myself...

Now, not all of this one makes sense... we're not ment to be and yet we move in together and never leave the house?

I find this one funny

Though this one may be better... haha

Oh and what the hell, could this really be a post about Dom with out a picture? God, look at those eyes... You have no idea how addict to his eyes I am... and aw, it's Gizmo!

Oh, and Javi is my favorite media whoring evil genius ever by the way... here's another reason why
