Fairly sure that's the second or third time I've used that subject line. But it IS an evil laugh. I was told this when asking someone whose laugh I was imitating for my evil laugh where they had gotten their evil laugh from and was told that it was, in fact, originally mine.
Right, so, the content of this post is: imagine me laughing, evilly. There you go, done. I'd love to share all the details, but there are multitudinous situations that deserve an evil laugh, occuring simultaneously around me.
1) Theft. Muahahahaha!
2) Veganism. Muahahahahaha!
3) KNOWING vegans. Muahahahahaha!
4) Planning ahead. WAY ahead. Muahahahahaha!
5) +2 Wand of Promotion With Retroactive Date of Occurrence. Muahahahahaha!
6) Czarity. Muahahahahaha!
7) Coffee. With extra Muahahahahahaha!
8) Fanon. Muahahahahahahaha!
9) Waaaaaaannk (complete with wahmbulance). Muahahahahaha!
One. ONE evil laugh. Muahahahahaha!
You may address me as the Czar of Catalogues, by the way. I insist that my first edict will be "Yeah, we're totally spelling that British, bitches." I wish now that I had a tiara, because that is TOTALLY a tiara-related emergency.
*muttering darkly* Everyone used to laugh at me for that. Where are they NOW, FOOLS, WHERE ARE YOU NOW? WITHOUT A TIARA OR A TITLE, THAT'S WHERE.

UNRELATED RANT THAT DOES NOT DESERVE A SECOND POST:
This applies to me, because I am an editor. I would imagine that it applies to anyone who works with or for people who do not physically show up in the office (or perhaps those who do, but I don't think we're THAT big a bunch of assholes).
If you are going to get a blog, particularly on LJ (in my case, because I am ONLY competent at LJ-based systems), as a professional, then use that space ONLY for professional posts. Srs bzns, ppl. The lolcat/1337 makes it more srs. I am not dumb, and I DO know how to google your name (particularly if you have given me a business card that clearly lists your LJ, or use it as part of your sig). I know that manymany people have websites under their names - all well and good. But...dude. Do you REALLY want your editor to know that your kid is barfing? Or, more sensitively, do you REALLY want your editor to know that you are not happy that Shit Has Come Up and they have not gotten back to you about your latest proposal? No shit you're not happy - chances are THEY are not happy EITHER. And they will be less happy if you are not going to play the game of understanding that sometimes, that is totally how life is. At LEAST, ffs, lock those entries. Otherwise...well, you come off a little bit less professionally than you might want.
And let me tell you it is even MORE weird to find all these people listing you by name on their blogs. If I didn't know that someone had a blog before, I DO NOW.
Im in ur internetz lukin at ur life, d00d. Think about what you're showing me, srsly. And one of the things you are showing me is that, if anyone was paying attention to a mutual friend's blog, the cover on this one is TOTALLY blown.

If someone I deal with professionally wants to google me they'll certainly get an eyeful and learn a number of things they never would have guessed about me previously. Yes, the genial guy who handles your wholesale rate decks is an anti-zionist commie. I get extra pleasure out of telling myself that if I weren't so mad talented at what I do I would have been fired ages ago.

I feel, in a way that I can't articulate, that this is very different from an employer checking out an employee's blog, but that might only be because I'm down with blogging myself, so I get that everyone needs to vent. But some things do not belong on a professional site that reps you to the world, and frankly, a personal life is part of that. I do enough hand holding and brow stroking as it is. Possibly the difference is that it sounds like you're not using a website or a blog as part of your you-name professional web representation. Yes, someone can get to you by googling, but you have a job that, as far as I know, does not require you to rep yourself to people on a weekly basis.
