My Life isn't that average

    One of the biggest internet phenomenons today is the website My Life is Average.com or MLIA.com. The basic use of this website, as outlined on the first pages of the site were that we would post average things we do in our daily lives. One of the first posts was that the person ate an apple, as a good example for what the website was designed to be.
    However, what the website has become is a way for us to convey the ironic and interesting things that happen in our daily lives. A more apt title for the website would now be My Life is Random due to the fact that many of the things that happen to these so called average people are very random. It's become a huge forum for us to tell about how we love dinosaur chicken nuggets and how our parents do weird and wacky things. Every second post is about Ninjas, Pirates, Harry Potter, or using different internet sites such as cleverbot, Sporcle, or testing out the Google vs. Yahoo war.
    I find it an ironic title for the website to be called My Life is Average. I feel as if every time a person types the acronym MLIA at the end of their post their tongue is firmly planted in their cheek and their eyes are rolling. It's as if they are saying " Oh yes, My life is so Average, but not really- it's quite awesome and you just wish your existence could be as awesome as mine." Their actions/ideas sometimes are so creative,and amusing you are forced to feel as if you would give this person a high-five if you ever encountered them in real life.
     I appreciate this website for a few reasons, even though I'm perhaps a little too hasty in condemning the name. One reason I appreciate this website is because of the fact that it causes me much enjoyment when I am attempting to distract myself from the mountains of dry readings that I as a university student am forced to sift through. The other reason I appreciate this website is because of the greater understanding of the internet that it has given me. I have learnt of the magics of having cleverbot tell me that it loves me, proposing marriage, calling me names, and claiming that it is on team Dumbledore. I have laughed over my own forays into the Google vs. Yahoo war, which, on MLIA it has been pointed out that it is more of a massacre of Yahoo rather than an equal war.
 However, I don't like this website because of the fact that it is not about average people. Well, at least not in my opinion. The average person, in my opinion, can't be a ninja, a pirate and a harry potter nerd all rolled into one. I feel horribly like the person on the outside looking in when I read it because I wish that my life could be that epic. Sadly, my life is not.
I guess my life isn't that average.
