Cupcakes Anyone?

Disclaimer: I hope no one takes offense to this. I'm about the most non-homophobic person, but somethings are just funny (like pissing off fan girls). This website I am going to talk had some founders that were gay as well as posters on the message board. And please please please keep in mind I was a stupid teeny (I use to get into the BSB VS Nsync debate). That being said...

Way back when (when I was in HS, that is), I had the most exciting thing happen. I discovered that one of my favorite stories growing up (I practically came out of my mothers womb speaking Elvish) was going to be made into 3 epic films. The movie? LORD OF THE FRICKIN' RINGS! The whole phenomenon that occurred during the filming of those three films was very out of the ordinary (at the time). I could not get enough of the rumors and articles as well as pictures from the set (mostly thanks to Theonering.net). Any pictures of the actors I could find I would download and any time one of them were on a talk show I would record it. I would even, yes, go to the conventions. I would research all about the costumes and have my own made to wear to the premiere. See, there is a reason I am Nerdy Girl!

Anyways, on the other hand (and thanks to Mr. Mel Brooks) I love to make fun of the stuff I love...keep in mind, I was a teenager so making fun of the actors personal lives was enjoyable. Finding photos of them in compromising positions made my friends and I giggle. We would come up with theories of how they were really lovers (hello Dom and Elijah). I also invented a game called "Lord of the Butts" where you had to match up the pictures of naked bums to the Lord of the Rings actors it belonged to. Yeah...

One of my personal favorite sites was VeryVeryGay.com, dedicated to all things proving that Mr. Elijah Wood is in fact, very very gay. Everything from photos or statements that would point to him liking men. I know, immature, but considering some of the people who were posting this stuff were gay themselves, you can see the cheap humor. My favorite part of the site was the forum. And I am fortunate enough, that even 6 years or so later, am still in contact with two of the regular posters. Our favorite things would be to share our own evidence we would find and post them. We also enjoyed torturing the trolls that would post (obviously crazy fan girls) of how we were all stupid and that Elijah was the most manliest man around (as if that has anything to do with sexuality. Yes, gay men can be very manly). Anywho, we loved to torture them and get them so upset they would crash their keyboard over there head and cry. They must have really been under the illusion that they had a chance, because I don't see how someone being gay affects their attractiveness. George Michael was as attractive in the closet as he was out (yeah I said it, I was digging that cheesy Wham look). We also witnessed (don't ask me what started it) a fight between an Australian and a Kiwi. There were dingo and sheep insults being hurled this way and that.

We would share other humorous stories and speculations that did not have anything to do with Elijah...but most of the time, it had to do with him. We also had a sneaking suspicion that Elijah would visit the site. Perhaps it was wishful thinking, but one poster in particular, who went by Woodisgood drew particular attention to our Elijah radar. We would private message one another and speculate if he was in fact Elijah, or even Dominic Monaghan. For no reason at all, tonight I became curious as to what happened to Veryverygay.com and if any of our old postings still lingered. I happened to run across this article someone posted. And it leaves me wondering: Did Elijah ever post there? If any of you ever happen to cross his path...or Dom's for that matter...you may want to ask them...

So in conclusion, I have posted a completely pointless post, but perhaps...well I don't have anything else to say because it was just that, pointless but amusing to me :)
