*brandishes icons*

[active_apathy]

Hooray! I have my icon spaces back, courtesy of the s2 bounty thing they're doing at the moment, where skills with S2, HTML and CSS can be traded for LJ and Amazon gift vouchers. Hooray!

And... hmm. That went a long way. Um....

I'm going to do some stuff for apathy_books soon-ish. In the "in a few minutes" sense of the word 'soon-ish'. This stuff will consist of redeveloped userinfo (using the slash-and-burn technique), some layout stuff (because, seriously, layouts), and a bit of work toward making a shiny post template.

Go me.

In the meantime, because it hasn't been nearly long enough since my last meme: a meme!

I'm pretty sure I haven't done this one before; it's the 'ten comments to people on your flist' one, which, when taken from maggiebloome, looks a little something like this:

Take a look at your LJ friends list, then list up to ten things you want to say to ten different LJ friends.
DO NOT state who these people are.
DO NOT confirm nor deny any "comment speculation".

And that kind of works for me, so!

1. ♥. Just ♥. Seriously, ♥. That is all.
2. Your polls are works of information-gathering art that make mine seem like the poorly-conceived efforts of a somewhat-drunk monkey given free reign of the poll creator. Don't ever stop.
   
3. If I had to pick one person to be stuck with on a desert island, I'd pick someone who could make a perfectly-functional radio and boat out of sand. But! If I could pick two people, then you'd be the other one. Completely.
4. Your opinions of expensive yet entertaining things have maybe more influence than they rightly deserve, but haven't ever led me astray. You don't get to stop either.
5. I wish I didn't care quite so much about people, because then I'd be able to happily explain to you exactly how funny you're not.
6. *hugs*. You deserve them. Really.
7. You're a vastly more awesome person than you ever seem to think you are. No, I'm not making it up. If you don't learn to accept and understand it, then I'll have to go to all the time and effort of setting up a reeducation camp just to make you understand.
8. Your icons are kind of scary, but that's ok.
   
9. I should comment on your entries more. You know who you are. Well, actually, you don't, but I should still comment more.
10. I can't help but find smileworthy cuteness in your username and layout. Oh, and your entries, too. Go you!
    

So endeth the entry. Do feel free to stay a while and comment, or - if you'd prefer - just keep on scrolling and read whatever it was that other person posted before me.

On maggiebloome's meme, I find at least four of the things she said to various people can be applied to you, yet I can't pinpoint which one would be more accurate *frustrated* Shall nag her tomorrow in class then. Additionally, I would like to note that Maggie's flags are often being waved or being lost.

[fireflyfailure.livejournal.com]

once can never simply 'scroll down' one of your posts, not to mention one in which the exclamation 'BWAH!' is made ^_^

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I kind of have an idea, based mostly on her comments on my last post. My comment on her meme was mostly fun. :)

(Which I should get around to replying to again, but I'm at a loss for an appropriately entertaining response right at the moment.)

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Err... the comments involving a corporation known as CoffinCorp? o_0 I see... :D

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Most of my posts last year involved some variant of the phrase "I'm not dead!"

[eighthcloud.livejournal.com]

::loves you::

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Ooooh... *melts happily*

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

My grandfather once made me a boat out of sand. I don't know about the fully-functional part, but it was a very nice boat.

[palmer-kun.livejournal.com]

Reeducation camp...

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

You know you can tell me if I'm not funny, right?

[I hate these things. I always assume the worst are directed at me.]

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Middle-of-mowhere, in a place with very... permissive laws, complete with non-approved reeducation methodologies that may or may not offend human rights groups.

And I'm sure whoever 7 is would very much like for me not to have to go to all that effort.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Actually, right at this moment I can't, and it's likely that I haven't ever felt like doing so.

Whoever 5 is for, that person probably wouldn't look at it and then think it was them. And that may or may not be all I'm going to say.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Being a nice boat is a good start, but I'd have to insist on a certain amount of seaworthiness. And a sand radio.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Hmm... process of elimination is easier when I know more of somebody's flist...

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

If there were one - which there may or may not be - then having it festooned with leetle flags would have been a bit of a giveaway.

[palmer-kun.livejournal.com]

You need my icon

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

True. Unless they were leetle flags in disguise.

[one-bullet-left.livejournal.com]

*has a vaguely depressing sense of being the unfunny one*

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

If I could, I'd tell you that while you're very likely on the list, you're very definitely not 5.

...and while that breaks the rules, I posted the meme, I can break them if I want to.

As pointed out above: the person 5 is meant for will never even consider that 5 might be meant for them.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

With what? Glasses and a fake moustache?

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Maybe they were hiding in the punctuation XP

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Thats quite possibly the silliest thing Ive ever heard

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Punctuation: the bushes of the interwebs.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Interweb stalkers everywhere are, right at this moment, making sure no-one's about to peek behind their fullstops, semicolons, guillemets, interpuncts, diaereses, or octothorpes.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

That sounds vaguely dirty.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

It's the Internet - a global network of computers designed to make the most innocent remarks sound dirty, and to deliver the dirtiest of remarks to you anywhere in the world.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Huh. So basically it's the computerised version of lackofmendacity... hurray!

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

That depends. Does lackofmendacity constantly try to give you porn?

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Funny you should mention that...

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

Ha!

Things like that make me wish I had more iconspace. Then I remember I'm poor.

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

Such an ambiguous statement! I'm going to go ahead and assume this means you think I'm funny. Or at least not not funny. Huzzah!

[palmer-kun.livejournal.com]

Beg your flist. That's what I do.

Works, too.

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

That's where this icon comes in handy.

[palmer-kun.livejournal.com]

*gip* :/
