Kawaii Neko Desu Chan 

An annoying prommie on Gaia Online's online forum, the General Discussion. She puts out prommie lists every year. She is self-obssesed, creating frequent accounts to namedrop herself. She has a group of followers who are also equally annoying and post frequent namedrop threads for KNDC. People just support her because they think they will become prommies soon too, or gain e-fame. She thinks she is better than everyone else, but is really just a psychotic, deranged, worrisome otaku deep down. Her fangirls/boys refer to her as the "Prommie God".
Bob: "Hey, Kawaii Neko Desu Chan put him on the prommie list, but no one knows him!"

Joe: "She has lost her mind."

Deschaneling

Derived from the actress Zooey Deschanel:

De·scha·nel·ing
Intense use of eyes in a popped-open bug-eyed stare to make the other person feel less than yourself. The aim is to put the other into a beautified trance, masking your insecurity, and making the other person feel like they are being put on the spot, in turn taking the social pressure and anxiety off of yourself.
I was telling her the storying in a calm and relaxed manner, but she was totally deschaneling me for no reason at all.
