Inaugural Entry: Lament of the Gimpy Man

Mar 28, 2006 17:29

It occurs to me all of a sudden that I've had this LiveJournal account for three years (or so) now, and this is the first time that I have ever actually sat down to post something to it. I attribute this to a breakdown in the normal lines of distraction, really. Normally, I'd be posting to ER or DSR or something instead of working, but lately I' ( Read more... )

*Has a strong suspicion that she is, in fact, the aforementioned single reader*

I know your dirty tricks though, too, trying to put people off with dense and wordy prose... but still, we read! We do! Yay for using LJ and spreading the rambling powers of the internet just that little patch further!

The chisels the surgeons use are indeed a very scary thing - although personally, it's the saws that freak me out more. I shall hope for a favourable outcome for you, in any case, although I'm not sure whether that should be to be in pain and not have to have surgery, or to have to have surgery and thus end up with less pain. Pick which option you like more, and that one I shall hope for you.

P.S. Get the userpics, Scrapper! I can't handle this minimalist pared down thing, it blows my ostentatious gewgaw-filled mind...

Thus, her fetish is exposed. Be prepared for the deluge.

I have userpics! I do! I just . . . neglect them. Are you saying that my pompous verbosity requires window dressing? I prefer to let the rambling speak for itself!

As for what to root for, I can't really say at the moment. Could I live with only partial use of my left elbow indefinitely? Probably. Do I want to? Eh. I expect I'll do whatever the doctor tells me to do. I'm very pliant, you know.

risty77 March 29 2006, 01:16:26 UTC

Yes, you are remarkably pliant - but I have a feeling underneath it all, there's some definite stubbornness going on which requires poking. *pokes*

Plus, all verbosity requires window dressing - it's why we read comics and graphic novels. We must give our eyes stimulation other than that of the arbitrary symbols known as letters. They need eye-food!

*is poked* Ow! My spleen!

Stubborn? Moi? I can't imagine where you would get such an idea. I fold under the slightest pressure, like a cheap lawn chair in Samoa.

And the words, they paint a picture in the brain! Superior in all ways to the random combinations of lines and colors provided by the eyes! What we have here is a failure of imagination. That's right, I said it!

risty77 March 29 2006, 01:41:26 UTC

I'd agree with you more on the words if they weren't WRITTEN. For your eyes to SEE. And, if your eyes are going to have to work anyway, to get the words, they might as well not be abused by lack of proper stimulation.

*has plenty of imagination, that stretches into realms beyond that of mere language* and :p

The problem with you being malleable, incidentally, is best seen through use of analogies. Malleable products, such as, for example, dough, mold under pressure, but once said pressure is removed, they revert back to the forces of gravity and inertia, sinking back into their original unformed blobby state.

Not to imply that you're doughy, though. More like that cool silly putty stuff. Because that's far more fun to have around.

You are all very strange and I'm ashamed to know you.

Oh, who am I kidding? I want attention too!! John!! Pay me attention!! Now!!

quintessmiley March 29 2006, 05:13:19 UTC

*immmediately begins showering attention on Beth*

Of course, thanks to my incredible prognosticative abilities, I did not even have to read this to know that you were craving the attention. Now, somebody think of a number between one and ten . . .

fatal_blue March 29 2006, 23:52:58 UTC

*thinks* Ok, what is it?

And, yes, userpics are necessary brain food, surgical construction equipment is scary, any many well wishes for your elbow.

quintessmiley March 30 2006, 00:23:25 UTC

Seven! Was it seven? It was seven, wasn't it?

I have rectified the Userpic situation to the best of my ability, for those of you who simply MUST have visual stimulation of that kind. See how accommodating I can be? And thanks for the well wishes! My metal-and-bone filled elbow joint thanks you. ^_^
