This all began about a week ago, when I'd run off to Sisterofnight, my fellow Depeche Mode fangurl for some much needed relaxation and red wine to prepare for my microbiology exam.The first evening I overdid it on the red wine, however, and have no clear recollection of going to bed. I will, hoever, never forget waking up and spotting this over my head. Safe to say, after taking a minute to wake up, I burst out laughing so loudly my head almost exploded (but that was more the red wine's fault, really).
Via twitter, a fellow fan instantly named this sort of thing a Lolmode, and via another tweeter I stumbled across a site with the not-so-subtle name of Fuck Yeah Martin Gore. This was a Tumblr-site (filled with 50+ pages with pictures *hirr hirr*), and this site in turn introduced me to the world of Tumblr - which basically is a simplified blogging, but a slightly more complicated way of tweeting. Think of it as a mini-blog meets Twitter and Twitpics. Naturally, there's also a Fuck Yeah Dave Gahan and a Fuck Yeah Depeche Mode site along with tons and tons of tumblr-site devoted to and revovling around every and any thinkable obsession or interest you may have.
After our weekend of red wine and fanatism ended we started talking about making a tumblr-site of our own, where we could post our various blurbs and outbursts - an outlet for our obsession, you might say. This sort of disappeared in everything else we were yapping about, though.
About 3 days ago, slightly hungover (yes, again...) and horribly bored I was browsing through I Can Has Cheezburger, the eternal and neverending source of Lolcat pictures. This is a habit I have, a way to pass the time when I really have nothing else in the world to do (besides stuff like the dishes, or the laundry, or cleaning the floors. Ew.) And when I saw a certain picture of a lolcat, my little fangirl brain instantly referenced it to a picture I'd seen of Martin Gore a short while ago. Of course I had to get hold of both pictures and make my own little "Totally Looks Like"-picture. Et vóila, my career as a Lolmode-maker was born.
Realising that making Lolmodes actually was really fun, I made the Tumblr-site Master and Servant,and started to produce more captioned pictures. The activity of finding pictures to caption, thinking of captions, making the actual pictures and posting them to Tumblr, along with reblogging/liking other tumblrposts, and trolling on the depechemode.com-forum about the damn Lolmodes has now completely taken over every aspect of my life - I can't seem to be able to do anything else. Not even blog. Hence the lack of blogging lately. Hopefully, this newly found obsessive hobby will die down somewhat, and I'll be able to return to normal. *awaits sarcastic comments*
It does, however, seem like people like these Lolmodes, and laugh at them, which makes me really happy for some reason.
