Birthday

Happy Birthday, mech_angel.

Love you.

New Thing.

You! Yes, you there, child! You look like an individual of discriminating taste and style, and as such i believe you might be interested in some of the latest technology that only you, yes You, are of the superior mental fortitude to comprehend, the intellectual pulchritude to apprehend and examine, and give full, superior weight. Now, for only one small payment of... Well. I won't insult you with discussions of monetary producement; that would be crass, and you are most certainly not a crass individual. So, may I only say that the cost of this wonderous new, scintillating, stimulating thing is something that should not, will not concern someone of your obvious means and standing.

I promise you the use of this product will make the tears and sweat of Quetzlcoatl himself seem like a mere summer rain. You will see visions, hear tales of far off shores, experience sensations the likes of which you have never before experienced, and I swear to you that somewhere, in all of this, you will Come to Understand the Face of God.

Now, what would you say if I told you I could give you all of this, here and now, and point you to never ending vistas of refreshed, life-fulfilling enjoyment, but... Wait. There's something missing...

Why... I don't even know ya', boy. Girl. Squamous runny thing attached to my ribcage, trying to suck the life's blood from my lungs. Now, i'm sure we'll get along just fine, and I can give you everything ya ever dreamed of kid, but... Ya gotta tell me who ya are.

Come on. Get up here: Introduce y'self to the crowd...

So, no takers?

Guess I'm no good at selling snake oil, after all.

None of you new people want to introduce yourselves? Say hello?

Something?

Fuck.

LiveJournal has felt like this pool of weltering, stagnating potential, these past few days. Like something Waiting to happen, something I should be seeing, observing, chronicling. But... Nothing's there. What to do?

I know!

Respond to this and I will do the following:

1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LJ.

New people especially, but open to everyone. Or you can flip-reverse that, if you so choose.

You know how we do. If not, then now would be the optimal time to educate yourself as to exactly how it is that "we do."

Ta.
