Stands for "My life is average" and is used at the ends of posts on mylifeisaverage.com. Also an abbreviation for the website itself. There are two types of MLIA posts:
1) An actually average post. These post chronicle the actual things people do during the day, so that the average person can relate. Sadly, these posts are currently almost nonexistent. An example: "Today, I was
surfing the web instead of working when I came across a link to MLIA. I sniggered, then looked guiltily around to see if anyone had heard.
I don't think they did. MLIA."
2) A fake post. These posts are about people who have seemed to have mistaken "MLIA" for "my life is awesome." They usually have to do with
Harry Potter, the word "epic," Yahoo versus Google, the phrases "Mind. Blown," and "I'm still confused," cool teachers, and stereotypes. They also usually aren't as
grammatically correct as the average posts. They are usually funny, but once you've read a really average post, you hate them from the bottom of your heart. These posts have taken over MLIA. An example: "Today, after reading all of the other comments about the Google vs. Yahoo war I decided I'd try it out. I typed 'penguins are' into both of them. Yahoo says they are mammals. Google said 'penguins are my favorite sort of frogs.' Definate win. MLIA."
Some people commenting on an average post:
"Today I was
pouring coffee and spilled a little on
the counter. I wiped the coffee up with a
paper towel. MLIA."
Fake post lover: This post is really average. It's not funny at all. This sucks.
Average post lover: The site is called "mylifeisaverage.com"; it's supposed to be average. It's in the name.
Fake post lover: But there are other posts that are really funny and awesome!
Average post lover: But those aren't AVERAGE. My teacher's never been tackled by the Cookie Monster. Has yours?
Fake post lover: No. So?
Average post lover: *facepalm*
