Cutting Room Floor
Not long ago, I was reading through folks' livejournal and Something had clearly Happened because nobody was posting about the usual stuff anymore. There were tales of crazed (and often illicit) sex, sudden and inexplicable changes of political heart, people quitting their jobs and moving across the country and even going overseas to become hired mercenaries and harem girls for rich princes and intelligence agents for foreign powers, strange and exotic pets that can't possibly be legal to own, nervous breakdowns, divine epiphanies, Kafka-like physical transformations, eerie supernatural encounters, abductions by masked men who reek of spices, crimes of passion, bizarre confessions, vows to previously unknown Gods...
In addition to being a totally amazing read, it was sort of scary, especially as I had nothing of comparable madness to put alongside it. And I woke up this morning thinking, "I should totally get on the boat with this, I need to ride this insane wave while it lasts!" but poking about on LJ this morning, I am finally coming to the conclusion that it was just part of my dreams last night.
Or, alternately, you've all gone back and deleted those posts, you tricky bastards, hiding all evidence of the crazy day you had yesterday, leaving me to stew in envy.

For consideration: wouldn't that be amazing, though, if everyone on LJ went insane on the same day and posted about it?
