Once upon a time, i was fucking around on google and i ended up on this page. I don’t exactly remember how i got there or why i followed that link (i must’ve been looking up AOL hate pages or something) but i remember being incredibly entertained by that article. And then i started looking around and reading the pop culture section and i thought “wow. this is a really good site”. I must’ve spent the better part of the night just looking around and reading up on all the posts and articles that caught my eye. It was just a really good site. I actually thought that Amy, the owner of the site, was probably some sort of internet celebrity. I even googled her site to see if it was linked on any other big sites. To my surprise i didn’t even find a single mention of her page on any other site at all.
So i decided to write her an e-mail saying how much i enjoyed her site. Thinking that she probably gets fanmail everyday, i decided to just keep it short and simple. I was a little intimidated though because here i was, a guy that had a site with fucking underage actresses on it saying omg masturbatory heaven up top, writing to a feminist and hoping that she didn’t mind me linking to her. I was half expecting her to reply and just go “TAKE MY LINK OFF YOUR SITE NOW” and tell me what a sick perverted guy i was but she didn’t! Which was a relief.
Turned out that she wasn’t in fact an internet celebrity and that her little brother was pretty much the only one that really read and enjoyed her site at the time. Anyhow, i’m glad that she has more readers/fans now thanks to my link (at least i *think* it’s because of my link). I notice a number of you regular fubar commenters leaving comments on her site too. So that’s pretty cool. I’m a bit surprised that a google search for sites that link to afterophelia.com still only lists mine as the sole linker because i’m know there are some others that do now (and if there aren’t there should be). Doing a google search for web pages that contain the term afterophelia.com turns up some fairly amusing results though.
I don’t really have a point to make and i guess this whole post is just a glorifed plug but all in all, afterophelia.com is a great site and everybody should link to it*.
——————–
* and i’m not just saying this to try to get into Amy’s pants. but it would be nice nonetheless.
You footnote fag.
Aren’t the 25 links to the left enough? Huh? Why don’t you answer me? You fuck…you fucking bitch. Fuck you! Cock face! I’m going to shit on you one day….you’ll see. It’ll probably be the day that you wake up with shit all over you. Hm, maybe you do that a lot though. Oh well…
Oh, and it’s an alright site. Lots of words…many words. Not so many pictures, but lots and lots of words. Yep…

Justin — you’re a sweetheart. You’ve made me simultaneously happy and embarassed. This is a good thing.
I’m thrilled that you found me. I’m a big fubar fan.

To be perfectly honest, I think posting Amy’s URL on your page was without a doubt the best Link you’ve put up. I visit afterophelia.com daily and have even begun visiting it more the FUBAR. I’d leave comments on her page as well, but i’m much too ashamed to do so.
Lucky is the one who ever has an opportunity to speak with Amy, even if they do not realize how incredibly intelligent, somewhat heartfelt and insightful of a writer she is, which with the exception of scoopy.com, moveon.org and thatsjustnoright.com of course, afterophelia is my favorite website.

I got here (don’t remember how) and then saw the link to Amy. Which makes me very glad you found her too.

I read her ‘disclaimer’, and then proceeded to stick her (site / directly) into my favorites list. A worthy writer and a worthy plug 🙂

Amy’s is the ONLY site I visit on a daily basis. The only other blogs I go to are her recommendations. I never have to surf anymore, because her links are worth visiting and there’s not time for more. The only exception is this site. I have yet to find the fascination here. Just the same, I’m here today, aren’t I? LOL

Guizhang — I LOVE when you comment around here, and I am truly honored to hear that like my site.
Thank you much matt, cujo, and Lock. Sincerely.
Shirley — fubar, like gangrene, grows on ya.
Ya know what’s amusing, Justin? You creating this post made this post the #1 google result for "pages containing afterophelia.com". Above my own damn site.
Heheheh. You’re mad important. :o)

*Eyes Wide open*
A-A-Am-Amy knows I exist?….
Considering this post is two days old and likely no one will ever read it, i’d like to put up a a poem by one of my favorite poets Pablo Neruda:
*Angel Adonica*
Hoy me he tendido junto a una joven pura
como a la orilla de un oceano blanco,
como en el centro de una ardiente estrella
de lento espacio.
De su mirada largamente verde
la luz caia como un agua seca,
en transparentes y profundos circulos
de fresca fuerza.
Su pecho como un fuego de dos llamas
arida en dos regiones levantado,
y en doble rio llegaba a sus pies,
grandes y claros.
Un clima de oro maduraba apenas
las diurnas longitudes de su cuerpo
llenandolo de frutas extendidas
y oculto fuego.

Oh God, did I just put up a poem in Spanish?
If I werent so lazy, i’d translate it, but I assure anyone who happens to read this right now, its incredibly beautiful, and I feel a sort of eerie resemblence to Amy for some reason…

I just read the AOL sucks rant and I have a strange urg to lick Amy where she likes it. Any girl who can write like that should have a good lay all the time. AOL I hate those Mother Fuckers(taken from her speach). I am going to go smoke another joint, and read it again.
