I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

Oh yeah...it's fascinating. It's why she started singing jazz. She was hit by a truck and was layed out in bed for a year, had to re-learn how to walk and ended up with severe neural damage and hypersensitivity in her eyes and ears, so she had to learn a softer music than the rock she used to like. She learned to play guitar and sing while in the hospital. And the hypersensitivity in her eyes is why she wears sunglasses almost all the time.
