a collection of random thoughts...in real time
The water's off for plumbing repairs until five. If I was anyone else that would probably be no big, but since I'm a nutcase who can't leave the house without showering that means I am going to have to sponge bathe with bottled water. I have things to do today: go to Amoeba to buy the Black Parade Is Dead. This will be accomplished or a small island nation will be destroyed by my Shark Ray.
I actually opened this window to mock the kid on mcr_storyfinders who is looking for a Green Day fic. There's Green Day fic? That might be interesting in a car crash way. I just can't imagine Green Day fic. Do they grocery shop and discuss nihilism? Do they mock Warped and say "back in my day..."? Maybe I should write Green Day fic and use Billy Joe as a mouthpiece to state all my myriad opinions on The State of Kids Today.
So, about Twitter: for some reason in the last six months all these random strangers have friended me over there. I have absolutely no idea who they are and don't bother to check them out as I have a friending issue here and don't need one in my text in-box (for those of you not friends w/ me in RL, I am unreachable except through text messages mostly). I was an early adopter on Twitter (because of Regina, I'm pretty certain) and never thought much about it. Then the David Hewlett thing happened and half of fandom got Twitter accounts, which is cool. Then another lull occurred and mostly I got Twitters from the same three people who bothered to use the thing. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Twitter has gone bonkers! How interested can people be in my very random comments like "no cheese in the fridge. can't find my sock."? (Ok, to be fair mine are usually more like "thinking about gravity, we need to figure that out!") But all the same, who friends strangers on Twitter? The only stranger I follow is Darth Vader, and to be honest he's more like an acquaintance as the super villain community is pretty small and I've seen him around from time to time.
I've gotten Jenn addicted to fbr_trash. I think I win at life? I have to say, if you're looking for a sociology dissertation topic you could do much worse than that community. It combines middle school, slam books, star fucking, internet culture, the myth of accessibility, and SO MUCH MORE--act now and we'll include youtube denunciations from Vicky T and Pete Wentz's tear-stained pillowcase!
How on EARTH has that ckll thing not landed on f_w yet? Did the furry pseudocide break the com? Maybe they decided that someone who is clearly clinically insane isn't so much a wanker as someone in need of help? Probably not.
I have like a trillion things to do today, so instead I should write Gabe's reaction to Travie boinking the guy in the head in St. Louis, right? I mean, CLEARLY that should be a priority.
Maybe I should have numbered these to make them easier to read. Suck it!
