Regarding "fml"

Recently I have seen a great proliferation of "fml" (f___ my life) on the Internet- manifesting itself in away messages, facebook statuses, myspace bulletins, etc. How did life become so frivolous that it could be contensed into a three letter acronym of "emo-ness"?

Back in the day, someone abbreviated "laugh out loud" to lol, for a great deal of things evoked laughter. Though in everyday Internet vernacular, it does not always suggest the physical act of laughing out loud, it has become commonplace as an alternative to "okay", "I don't feel like talking", or "I can't think of anything else to say". Replacing this phrase to express true "laughing out loud" is ROFL (Rolling on the floor laughing). For those that truly roll on the floor laughing, I guess you'll have to think of a new acronym.

To express surprise and consternation, the phrase "wtf" (what the f____) is commonly employed. Usually astonishment is a rather sudden thing (when is it not?) so a short burst of "wtf" is acceptable to express such a feeling.

However, emos are suppose to be long winded and dramatic. How can "fml" suffice to sum up all feelings on grief, anxiety, etc... ...Unless it is being used too lightly (which it is). For most people who spam "fml" a lot, I find it difficult to take pity. As a fellow internet user, I understand that even having an internet connection long enough to sustain an away message is a blessing (it means you aren't borrowing the internet in the library or whatever)... (Grammar falls apart here) Whatever the case, I value life, and I think people should not dismiss their life (fml!) so quickly from simple events that will probably be resolved the next day etc. etc.

Hyperbole is one thing. But then there's disrespect for the most important of things-- and that borders on blasphemy. Anywho-- just some thoughts.
