05/17/2002 Entry: "Meta-Mooncalf Noises Entry: The Rant!"

You know, I was sitting here in front of my computer pondering whether I should blog something, and you know what? If I can summarize every fanfic ever written, and I can do the same to smut, I can by god write Generic Mooncalf Noises Entries, too! How meta can she go, ladies and gents?!
Today, the first kind: The Blogrant!

BLOGRANT:
WARNING: amusing warning of some sort.
Statement statement statement. Snide aside, pun, light dusting of sarcasm.
Statement statement, qualifying statement, another qualifying statement, mealy-mouthed attempt to go middle-of-the-road. Reminder that the following is my own personal opinion. Reminder that what I think shouldn't mean anything to you. Statement. Rhetorical question?
Answer to rhetorical question. Statement of personal position. Personal anecdote with some bearing on the situation. Complete obliteration of middle-of-the-road stance. First use of exclamation point! Another exclamation point and italics! More italics! Run-on sentence, with lots of commas, and occasional italics, much snideness, more commas, a long-winded statement meant to suggest the physical act of ranting, and it all ends in an exclamation point! Exclamation point! Exclamation point and italics!

Screamed insult, complete with italics and fucking curse word!

Some sort of statement about trying to calm down. Qualifying statement, qualifying statement, qualifying statement. Slight levity to lighten the mood. Groaningly bad pun. Statement, statement, statement, some sort of conclusion or the conclusion that no conclusion is possible.
Short and punchy closing line, sometimes in the form of a question.
Only possible answer to above line.

You can never get enough fucking curse words in italics, don't you think?

Agreement.

Pointless personal anecdote.

Admission that previous was pointless.

Declaration of love, with or without reference to primate.

TITLE OF THE SONG!

Totally odd action/statement that has nothing to do with the post. Spineless commentary of Mooncalf's genius. Various anime-ish emoticons.

You know what's oddly fascinating about this?

People can see the "pattern" as fitting and funny, and love not only the joke, but still love the original material as well, realizing the pattern. It still doesn't come across as formulaic, even when the "formula" is *right there*.

And I need to really, really stop overanalyzing humor...augh.
