People who constantly point out things that are wrong with themselves. I mean, if you know there's something bad about you, then fuckin' fix it--don't tell me about it.

Wouldn't this be more appropriate as a "pet peeve" rather than something you don't get?

I don't get why Poor June often types "\m/" in his posts. Does that mean something in computerspeak?

PJ - can you enlighten me please?

People who assume that if you know what's wrong with you, you automatically know how to fix it. :)

Actually, a real bug-bear - people who think they are normal.

the oc. i really don't like that show. i watched it for the first time tonight. i didn't like any of the characters, they relied to heavily on the trendy soundtrack and the drama was just really boring, annoying drama. i find it more exciting to just sit back and watch the words appear on the screen as i type the rest of this sentence. man. that really was more exciting. i think i've found my new favorite show. *pats himself on the back*

In American Sign Language, this means 'I love you'.

It was also used as a salute in Alistair Crowley's Church of Satan, but only made with the left hand.

It turns up rotated through 90 degrees in 90s hip-hop videos, but I don't know what it means in this context.

Poor June - is this the context you're using it in? (I'd like to think so)

A girl at drama rehearsal yesterday was all, "I have to come in tonight?! It's the OC?! Oh God, I'll miss the OC! What will happen?! I won't know what so-and-so is doing with so-and-so! Oh God! End of the world! Run away!" Kinda amusing.

Yeah, I really don't get that either. Same thing with Veronica Mars. I thought it might be a new Buffy, but it's boring. Rich people are boring. Paris Hilton is boring. LA is boring. The only good story about LA is "LA Story." Dammit rich people, spend some money on not boring me.

Obviously she has mastered the art of drama and can skip any and all future rehearsals.

That depends on the position of the thumb. In the rock symbol, the thumb is tucked in, holding down the middle and ring fingers. In the ASL "I love you," the thumb is stretched out, making an L with the index finger.

Still, the irony is hard to pass up.
