SAMMICH FLAMEWAR!

sorcyressSee, I am 21. I am still a college student. That means that, technically, I should still have a pass to be kinda dramatic and self-centered and flouncy. I should be allowed to make passive-aggressive pissy statements in public places, or just generally be a whiny brat. That is my god-granted right as a young person.
(your god-granted right as an old person is to tell me that this drama I'm flouncing about is stupid, and will all blow over and can't I have some perspective?)
Now, the problem is that my mother, bless her heart and hide and everything in-between, is one of the least dramatic and most mature people I know. She is petty and whiny and snipes and is just downright _evil_ when it comes to snarking people...but she does that privately. She never airs her grievances on the internet, she'll be giddy with schadenfruede or virulent with passive-aggressive rage, but she doesn't put it online. When she has inflammatory e-mails to send, she gets someone uninvolved to look over them first. In short, my mother is a classy, well-behaved, all around _awesome_ human being. And I had the misfortune of being raised by this excellent example of how one should conduct themself.
So from...well, not a terribly young age, but at least younger than average, I have found myself emulating her, and acting relatively mature online. Which is all a good thing, except that I have found that _adults don't do that_. Adults get to be ridiculous and awful and passive-aggressive and whiny and flounce, and here I am, frantically avoiding that so I can look older and fit in better with my older peers.
Well no more! I'm still a dumb college kid and I intend to take FULL ADVANTAGE of that fact! With that said, it's totally time for a BIG DRAMATIC FLOUNCY FLAMEWAR in my livejournal again!
We've discussed tunafish and peanut butter, but I don't think we've ever touched on the sensitive subject of grilled cheese. So.
What is the best way to make a grilled cheese sammich?
Do you butter both sides of the bread, or just one? Is American cheese verboten? Cheating to use a toaster oven instead of a frying pan? Remember, anyone who doesn't agree with you is probably a commie pinko leftist hippie scumbag who eats babies!
(Please differentiate in your comment if you're remarking on the behind-cut half of the post, and therefore do not want to join in on the sammich-flaming madness. Also, while name calling is a fundamental part of flouncy dramatic flamewars, please be sensible.)
