Internet Black Hole
I’ve had many blogs throughout the years. My very first blog I ended up breaking horribly while attempting to customize. After realizing I had broken it, quite possibly beyond repair, I gave up. I made a single post:
“Holy crap,” I said, “I royally screwed up when making this page. Perhaps through dumb luck it will turn out cool. “.
As luck would have it, it ended up being the coolest thing I will ever do in my life… ever. Why? This blog was on livejournal. My livejournal username was “L.” Ever since the “autocomplete” feature has been put into browsers, so too have people been accidentally truncating their URLs when backspacing bits of the autocomplete. Many, many, MANY people ended up at my journal completely by accident. They were trying to get to some other journal that started with the letter L and hit enter too early, or backspaced and hit enter, or something. My single post ended up getting a cult following and now has 1262 comments.
Shameful, I will never be able to compete with the level of coolness I have accidentally achieved.

Hey Tpill
I check your site every couple months to see if your ramblings have resumed. I’m happy to see that they have. Are you going to put your resume stuff back up?

Your LJ should be memorialized forever somehow. You are on the level of 2 girls 1 cup.

So I guess that means you’ll never let another person have ~l, because I was going to comment and ask if you’d give it up, haha. All those comments surprised me.
