I am the Editor Laurel

[ladycaviar]

As I've mentioned before, I also have a Tribe account and a MySpace page. As windsingerbard has noted, we have clots of friends who refuse to migrate to LJ and insist on keeping their soc-hops the way they are.  So we slog through the murk to contact our friends, but honestly, sometimes the Voices in My Head must have Their Say. One of those meme surveys told me I was full of "viscous sarcasm." [I wondered before just how viscous, say 50 weight? thereby proving the point in one fell swoop.]

I've been told I do not suffer fools gladly. I don't know if that's true, I genuinely like fools. Gladly, even. Poor use of language and grammar, now, that's quite another thing...   melvh commented that there was a lemming quality to the interview memes, and she was reluctant to add to it. I haven't felt that way at all on the LJ interviews, I just haven't had enough time to indulge in stealing someone else's time yet. Ooh, but I might....

However, there are a lot of generic 20 question surveys going around on MySpace--not like the thoughtful personal questions we're getting on LJ, and I did kinda ooze viscosity. *she grins* I could not take one more stupid 9th grade survey supposedly based on insightful questions from say, The Book of Questions, meant to spark communication but ending up more like a stalker version of Truth or Dare. So I wrote & posted this:
-----
39. Do you believe that your first love never dies?
No, I believe he is an immortal vampire. Perhaps his Svengali-like powers are why I fell for him in the first place.

41.What is your zip code?
What the hell are you going to learn about me from that? Are you compiling a mailing list? Are you some freaky stalker? Euw.

28. If the last person you spoke to on the phone was getting shot at, what would you do?
Are you assuming that we're still speaking on the phone, you callous bastard? Like anyone is going to do anything other than hang up and call 911? Or am I supposed to be psychic about what happens to people after I hang up? How the hell would I know if the last person I spoke to had been shot, then? [Are you the same one who writes the unclear questions about vampires?]

41. Ever drank more beers than years?
I'm assuming this is for the high school crowd. The Crusty Old Peers of Atenveldt (tm) laugh at your sorry asses, because two things apply: first, none of us are stupid enough now to drink 65 beers at one pop. However, if pressed, we can--and still take home your girlfriend. Yeah, you heard me.

71. Do you have all your fingers and toes?
By definition. First, no one else can have them--by definition. If someone else had them, they wouldn't be mine. Second, what I have is all of them--also by definition. If nine is what I have, that is all of them. It's not like you take the fuckers off at night...

12. Did you ever wake up under the influence of NyQuil, completely unable to move?
I'm thinking the author needed to work out some of his own issues and is looking for validation for his NyQuil habit. Please, for the love of God, get some help. 1-800-NYANON, or www.NyQuilKills.com. Don't be a statistic.
