When your crush announces, in your presence, that she just got engaged to someone else…

You feel like this:

😩😭

Thank you, David F. Evans of the Seventy. You're responsible for creating another Conference-related Internet meme! May our strength be faithened because of it!

So blessed to hear from preheats, seers, and revelators

Coming Home After Priesthood Session

On the east coast, Priesthood Session ends around 10 PM, so by the time I finally get home (about 30 minutes later)…

The “Stop It” GIF

Last year, I made a video, and posted it on YouTube. The video was a brief informational video about a then-popular video meme which had become so wildly popular, YouTube included their own version as an Easter egg.

My video included a brief segment from Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk “The Merciful Obtain Mercy,” which he gave at the April 2012 General Conference. The portion I used for my video was a brief loop of him saying the phrase, “Stop it,” made to look as if it were an animated GIF.

I purported that it was an animated GIF that I found on Tumblr, but of course, the quality of the video was such that it was apparent it wasn’t, as it was the actual video, only muted with the text appearing at the appropriate place.

The talk mentioned above was recently made into a Mormon Messages video about bullying. The phrase, “Stop it” appears within the first two minutes.

Of course, it wasn’t on Tumblr at the time I made the video I mentioned at the beginning of this post, but it is now!

(EDIT: Here’s a bigger one.)

The cool thing is that this GIF can apply to pretty much anything you find that bothers or annoys you, or things wrong with society in general. For example:

Making silly videos with Baauer’s song “Harlem Shake” as the background music:

Bullying:

Making covers of Christmas songs made popular after 1975:

That water droplet sound that comes from some Android devices whenever the screen is tapped:

The doge meme:

(Or, “much stop it" if you’re so inclined…)

Commercials that are made to look like two back-to-back commercials:

Commercials which take an old song and change some of the words around to fit the nature of the product being advertised:

Wearing leggings as pants:

Horror movie commercials which include stuttering audio, audio that is jarring or unnerving somehow, or show footage of an audience allegedly reacting to something in the movie:

Saying Reeeeemiiiiix!:

Posting about your workout routine on Facebook… on a daily basis:

Making a dance remix from a ballad:

Using the name Shiz as a substitute for a certain swear word.

TV commercials which alternate between two camera angles, with subtle changes in each shot until the final shots are dramatically different from the first.

You get the picture. So, have fun with it. Don’t forget to link back here if you use it, mmmkay?

When people at church schedule things for Saturday morning…

These events typically occur before 11:00, so this is an appropriate reaction. Then again, I almost never attend them. Because I'm at home. Sleeping. And that's the way I like it!

My reaction when someone I know announces their engagement

If it's a guy…

If it's a girl I like…

Of course, this last bit would certainly change if she announces that I am the one with whom she is engaged. (Sources: weheartit.com, xmywastedyouth)
