[bubosquared]

That's right, folks, consider this the Official Crystalwank One Year Anniversary Post. Go nuts. Or something.

[ETA] For those of you who want to relive the good old days:

• CrystalWank

Has it already been a year? Wow. It seems like only a couple of months ago I was making ugly "MY HED IZ PASTEDE ON YAY" icons.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Seems a lot longer to me, but then I've had a busy year. :D *throws confetti anyway*

Let me be the first to say...

[rsadelle]

Huh?

CrystalWank. It's one of those "You had to be there" things, I'm afraid.

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

Her legacy is pastede on yay!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Another year, another turkey?

[bibliotech.livejournal.com]

The memories...that wank turned me from a girl into a woman. *sob*

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

You lost your virginity to the wank? Wow. How come you got lucky and I didn't, dammit?

I am Duncan Macleod of the Clan Macleod and my HED IS PASTEDE ON YAY.

Can someone tell me why this fandom hadn't adopted this line with much love? Most of them don't even know it. It's so sad. It was perfect.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I know! Silly fandom, doesn't know a good line when it sees one.

(HED! PASTEDE! ON! YAY!)

::sets up cheap crap stand:: Step right up, step right up! We have all sorts of things, from plush anonymice and armadillos to wet wipes encrusted with actual Crystalwank spooge. Have your picture taken with the Wank that Ate the World!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

... I want a plush armadillo.

And hey, why are there no souvenirs of my boobs?

[ashenmote.livejournal.com]

OMG Geta-stepdance!!!!!!

*dance* *stomp* *dance* *stomp* *dance*

Your fault for celebrating here where I have no approbate icons.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't want to break JF again or anything!

You know I found the writer I'm collaborating with on a couple of projects that we're pitching due, ultimately, to CrystalWank? cleolinda friended my LJ because of that, then I read one of rachelmanija's responses to her on her LJ, friended her because of that, and then rachelmanija saw some of my art and asked me to collaborate. Whee!

And I actually got the job that I was writing a cover letter for and agonizing about during the wank. I'm sure that WankPower(TM) had nothing to do with that, but it's still nice. :D

You too? :D Being able to blow off steam on that thread helped me through the whole CV-writing process so much! Well, that and writing an "honest" CV afterwards.

I am taking a class with the same professor that I had during the wank - and I had asked for an extension on the pset due that week.. because of the wank.

Strangely enough, I had to do the same thing this year. Weeeird.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

It's the ciiiircle of waaaaank! :D

Be glad I didn't actually sing that.

[disgruntledjenn.livejournal.com]

I still can't believe it's been a whole year since THEE wank. I even stopped picking on Crystal after about six months *sniff* *wipes a tear* Memories...

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Meeeemoriiieeees, alll aloooone in the moooonliiiight ...

Yeah, I'm in a singing mood tonight. STOP ME BEFORE I START FILKING AGAIN!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Oh, and also:



Because MY BOOBS ARE PASTEDE ON TEH WANK YAY!

[ashenmote.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool, cause my crystalwank!computer is long dead!
*saves them again*

[basking-lizard.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Here from Metaquotes. Cannot believe it's been a year since I spent truly frightening amounts of time glued to the computer, laughing my headhed off.

Awesome. :D Must go read through some of the highlights again.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Hey, come for the reunion, stay for the revival! *starts search party for the littlest armadillo*

[singeaddams.livejournal.com]

YES! And I was there! I got quoted even! (Then I went away after about ten pages because my stamina? She is not so good.) But somebody out there owes me a tube of something, I know it.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Le singeaddams est sur les branches? That doesn't work! Fix your username!

[dinpik.livejournal.com]

Whoo-hoo! *throws confett*

*tries again, this time with proper html*

The sad thing about me having already known it was the 1 year anniversary is that my memory came not from the Event that was Crystalwank, but the fact that Blank Verse Blog Week (http://www.livejournal.com/users/jadelennox/169921.html) starts tomorrow, and it was happening last year at the same time as Crystalwank. So I wrote (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mpoetess/326703.html) about CrystalWank (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mpoetess/327060.html) in blank verse (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mpoetess/327551.html). It's possibly even more psychedelic in iambic pentamenter.


PS DEAR LJ I HATE YOU STOP TIMING OUT.

[crickets-lj.livejournal.com]

Wheeee! The revelations, the laughs, the slumber parties, the memories. The banners, picspams and icons. The merchandise! Does anyone know if the Head Pastede On Yay T-shirts are still available somewhere? I meant to get one and didn't.

*does not have any CrystalWank icons at LJ, woe*

[anatsuno.livejournal.com]

like this? ah no, that's not Hed Pastede On.

but still!

[sluggirl.livejournal.com]

Man. CrystalWank was what brought me to f_w. (I'd heard about the comm before, but never bothered to find out what exactly it was.)
It was the fact that I kept seeing stuff "pastede on yay" that led me to Google, which led me to dear old fandom_wank. And I've been there ever since.

[bitterbyrden.livejournal.com]

Dammit, I just realized I never made my "My hetero iz pastede on yay" icon. Sigh. Oh well.

Linked for posterity: Integrated The Chosen Phrase(TM) into my lexicon enough that I said it in a business meeting. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/bitterbyrden/184142.html)

God, that was a good, good time. It's too hard to explain to the uninitiated-to-fandom, but... sigh. I'm getting nostalgic.

*goes to check Journalfen flist*

[jedilora.livejournal.com]

Make it now! As an anniversary present!

[weetanya.livejournal.com]

You know, that wank became increasingly less about Crystal, and more about perpetuating itself...which iz a goode thing, because crystal sho didn't need the attention.

[anatsuno.livejournal.com]

HA! well this year I've done the same I was doing then: went to sleep insetad of trying to keep up.

*bought a clue!*

did you flash boobies in this thread too? *gos to lick look*

[munchkinott.livejournal.com]

A year? Has it really been a YEAR? *opens the cheap sparkling wine - teh champain iz pastede on YAY!*

And is cleolinda still typing up the metaquotes on it?

[lindentree.livejournal.com]

Oh, happy memories. *sheds a tear*

[whisperwords.livejournal.com]

My god, has it really been a year? I can't believe it! It feels like only yesterday, I was downing unhealthy amounts of coffee and tea and not wanting to leave the screen (even to use the bathroom, it was quite unhealthy) because when I returned, there would be two more pages to read!

I mean, it got to the point we were discussing the possibilities of CrystalWank Diapers and Chamberpots. Ah, those were the days.
