Wanna know why? Of course you do, you LJ drama queens. I just got asked, for the gazillionth fucking time, how I got so good at Chinese

Truth be told, not every meme has a themesong. Most get a catchphrase at best. 草泥马, like a sick family dog that saved your life, left us with good memories and a lot of love, but it's time to put it down.
Damn, that was -er, could have been- awesome. There are quite a few people I'd like to share it with. I'm in Yantai right now and I've been beginning to wonder if I'm crazy for resenting the bazillion times/day people tell me how awesome my god-awful Chinese is. But...sucks you had to pull people with Down Syndrome out of your little bag of tricks. Sorry, yeah, that rubbed me the wrong way considering I'd rather chat with the "Downsies" I know and love rather than the run-of-the-mill fucks you equate them and thurr kind to. But, hey, you are witty. Congratulations.
I know. I'm sorry. That was a little over the line. In my defense, I've been binging on Encyclopedia Dramatica and it got the better of me...and I wasn't very sober when I posted this. Playing with that tone is a fine line, and I crossed it

...I know, it was a little aggro. It was also very tongue-in-cheek, precisely because of what you pointed out: "they only bug us because they ARE us, however many years of dictionaries and flashcards earlier." That was me, and trust me, it still is a lot of the time. What kind of an idiot actually brags about "how good my Chinese is"? Gross. The offensive material is also there for a reason, although not a very well-thought-out one, as I'm seeing most of the comments reacting pretty badly to the tone. Sorry if I offended you.
That article is good, and touches on some of the same points I hope to, but not all of them. I'm posting a new entry to explain myself a little more soberly. :)
