I'm famous...On Reddit

I woke up this morning, delighted by a two hour delay due to snow. Even though I woke up two hours later than I usually would, I still felt tired and just hung out in my bed for about a half an hour before I was able to get out and get ready for the day. While I attempted to wake myself up in that half an hour, I checked my texts and was suprised to see I had nine text messages. About six of them were from Twitter, which I just kind of neglected, although I had three from some of my friends that mentioned something about Reddit. Now let me be honest, before that time I had never been on Reddit before, ever. I've heard of it, but it had never crossed my mind to get on it, because if I were going to find random links it'd be dedicated to either Stumble Upon or Pinterests. Anyway, my friend mentioned I had been featured on the front page of Reddit and I was #4 most viewed of that day. I was in awe. I jumped out of my comfy bed, typed in the link: Click here for a shortened version and was really confused.

What they had found was a link from my Yahoo! Answers account (which I had an addiction to during my 8th grade year and Freshman year of high school). It was one of the first times I had chosen to be a Yahoo! Answers troll and it turns out that it worked, incredibly well.

I wrote this with a friend of mine during Torch class out of pure boredom of that day and it somehow followed me. It turned out that this acquired 315 comments and 55% likes on Reddit in a matter of hours. It was definitely cool to see one of my most random works of art become an overnight phenomenon (even though it lasted 10 seconds, they aren't kidding about the 10 second of fame thing) and it was even more hilarious that the week before, I had re-subscribed to Netflix since the last of my free trial of Netflix.

Overall, it was hilarious and I can't believe that anybody found that. I was strangely proud of myself and thought that it was funny that so many people saw my random act of trolling. Now that I pay for Netflix, I'd love to have a lifetime supply of it. You know what, I think I might just blog about Netflix! Just wait until March.
