I hate how people use the word random in non-applicable situations. "Oh, I'm so random." Why? You might tell me I'm a piece of broccoli?

Too bad I didn't premeditate on it you asshole, I just did it.. NO thought whatsoever went through my head. I was bored and the board, as solumina said, is DEAD today, so I felt like doing whatever. If you don't like it just shut up an ignore me because thats all you can do.

The choices may be finite, and set. but that doesn't mean it can't be random, as I mean random as unpredictability. I didn't force my finger on each key separately, I hit the keyboard and let the keyboard decide what lettre to put down,
so the order chosen was random, not the letters themselves

Still, you thought in advance "I'm going to be random by pounding on different keys," and because of that thought process it was not as random as you'd have liked it to be. =D

You're not getting it! the ORDER of the letters were random, not I!

Lool, too bad no one accused her of anorexia, and too bad it doesn't matter whether you think so or not.
Also--too bad you brought this up again for no reason even after it was done with.

It means Noumi typed http://community.l-ivejournal.com/pro_ana/ into her address bar, and somehow ended up in Gnet's randomness thread.

It is called her intake, many anorexics will proudly post their intake on message boards. It can be very hard for someone who has overcame, or is overcoming, an eating disorder to see someone posting things like that because it can trigger them to regress back to the point where they feel the need to once again restrict their eating habits
