You know, I was feeling bad for her until I got to the part when the author was pissing and moaning about breeders and their sprog.

Whooops. There goes my sympathy.

wow...i think someone needs to see a therapist a.s.a.p.
it's true, children are favored over anyone at any given time (and it's not always fair...), but this woman should have expected this.
she mentions that in her youth she was never given any special attention (? or am i confusing this with someone who posted symphathies to her entry?).
if that is correct, she obviously needed to see a therapist a looooong time ago, as that issue has never really left her.

i say, "get over it!"

anyway, who am i to try to analyze her?
who cares...

Aw, the post is now password protected. I guess some people become self-conscious when their insanity goes public.

It took a little bit of digging, but I found the text of the entire post:

RANT TIME

Harry Potter book release: don't worry, no spoilers.

Showed up at seven, in full costume for a nine am release. Devoted no? I was one of the few to dress up, and I was the best-dressed. I'm not being vain, I honestly had the most detailed and accurate costume there.

We were told in line, that the best-dressed person in line gets to open the box and have the first Half-Blood Prince book. So, I'm a shoo-in, aren't I?

WRONG.

Fucking moo brings her bratty sprog in at 8:59am dressed in a generic Kmart cape with stars and glitter and fucking gaudy BLAH. Twig for a wand.

OMG WITTLE PWESHUS SO CUTE OMG YOU CAN OPEN THE BOX AND HAVE THIS BOOK YOU CAN'T READ AND *fawning fawning, blatant breederism etc*

THE FUCKING KID WON'T EVEN REMEMBER THIS. THE BOX OPENING WAS MINE. MIIIIINE.

I wouldn't have minded if someone had said "Oh look Sass, you are best-dressed but would you mind if this land-mine amputee opened the box instead?" I would have said "Absolutely no problem. Go for it." But no. FUCKING CROTCHDROPPING GETS THE HONOUR. I'm furious. On principle of course, not out of any sense of entitlement. Well yes, entitlement also. But I WORKED FOR IT, I DESERVED IT.

I made an effort. I spent money making an effort. I showed up early. I will remember and treasure this event for ever and eternity. And I'm passed over for an ugly little brat with a sparkly tie. Woo fucking woo.

I didn't stab her in the eye with my wand. I WANTED to. I talked about doing so VERY FUCKING LOUDLY. I was going to eviscerate her mother with the cover of my brand-new copy.

I fucking hate breeders and child-lovers. FUCKING GO TO HELL.

I'm so pissed about this, sorry. It's just that in ten years time, this kid won't remember what she was doing on July 16th 2005. In ten years time, I will be remembering how I was deprived of this nerdly honor by an opportunistic twat breeder and her shitling. I'm hurt. All my life, nothing has gotten to me more than being deliberately ignored, or passed over. Honestly; that's the sort of thing that can make me cry in public. Or key your car. Or viciously murder you and your family in the heat of frustration and never-ending denial Congratulations breeders, you win.

Edited to add: To all of you who are calling me immature etc, I'd like to add that you make a very good point, but have you considered GO FUCK YOURSELF? If you're so anal-retentive, go back to the other community and go on with your breeder-humping. Also, to the person who submitted this to fandom_wank, I seriously (no sarcasm) thank you. I've always wanted to be there!

She's still a freak.

Kate | July 24, 2005 11:05 PM

This was posted to a forum called cf_hardcore, the cf meaning childfree. She obviously hates both parents and children, which is kind of ironic considering her childish behavior.

marydell | July 24, 2005 11:19 PM

eh, not all so surprising coming from a "hardcore" childfree community. not everyone in the world likes kids.
the real kicker is that some people use the moniker of childfree as an excuse to act like a spoiled brat themselves. :|

What a freak.

Oh shoot. I hit post before I finished.
I thought that it was kind of sad that in ten years, she'll still be thinking about this. I love books, too, but I don't think that standing in line to get a new release will rank up there in my file of fond memories that I want to remember forever and ever.

enygma | July 29, 2005 10:48 AM

In a dark way I want to laugh at her more because I had an almost exactly inverted situation. I din't get THE first copy but before my line number at Borders was called, they announced that I was the winner of the contest to win a free copy of the book. It was a democratic 'drop your name in the box' contest but the fact that I almost never win anything and was having a horrible summer so far, it was just the best feeling. And as a huge Harry Potter fanatic I can kinda understand her dissapointment, but she goes wayyyy over the line here. On the other hand I'm someone who feels intense guilt for even being angry at a person so in a way I can almost admire her for 'letting the hate flow'. But she sounds like someone who just has no sense of herself, and gives fandom a bad name.
