Frobozz Magic Drama Company

[active_apathy]

Hello, Netizen

I vanish for... well, weeks actually, and then the day I plan to post something (because I once again have moments in which I'm free to live, liiiiiiivvve, bwahahahaha¹) the Interwebs explode.

Dramadramadramadramadrama. Whee.

And to add to that, the link I was given to explain it seems to have felt the overwhelming DDOS powers of the Slashdot Effect.

...which takes away from what I had for post content, really. Next to fandom exploding, it suddenly seems kind of vanishing to write a whole paragraph about how narcissus pseudonarcissus may well be the best. plant name. ever. Seriously. Narcissus pseudonarcissus. I'm completely adding it to my never-maintained interests list once I get advice on the legality of wild daffofils. Narcissus pseudonarcissus. It's a binomial name, but cute. They're only words, but they're words that you want to hug³.

It really, really doesn't improve from here. Case in point-

I'm convinced that the single worst machine ever built was the second clock. Clock the second. Clock number two. Two, two clocks, ha ha ha!

One clock? Fantastic. Everyone knew what time it was. Wanted to meet someone? The clock would tell you! They'd put it high up in a tower, where its mechanical talents of timekeeping made it the ultimate authority on all matters temporal.

And then, suddenly, a second clock comes along. And despite everyone's best efforts, it keeps different time. I'm completely astounded that this minimal preponderance of timepieces didn't immediately cause civil unrest as arguments over proper time boiled over into city-wide brawls over the One True Clock.

...this is almost turning into a possibly-interesting story idea. Hmm...

Unlike the FrozPak truck that I saw this morning, presumably delivering foodstuffs. Every time I see it from now on, I'll have no choice to imagine that the side instead reads "Frobozz Magic Frozen Foodstuffs Company"⁴.

Hello, Consumer





And, um, that's it for the moment. So, what about you? What's been happening in your little parts of the world?

Narcissus pseudonarcissus! Whee!

1. Seven weeks just seems a little beyond the scope of 'I ATEN'T DEAD'².
2. Also, I seriously need an 'I ATEN'T DEAD' icon, because clearly I suck at posting when I'm beset by assignments.
3. There is no scientific evidence of a link between narcissus pseudonarcissus and overuse of italic text.
4. Also, I'll have to make a 'Frobozz Magic Icon Company' icon, or such. And all the icons I still owe to the people to whom they're promised.

You is alive! :)

Fandom has exploded (or rather, been exploded upon). First FanLib, now Strikethrough '07. It's a sad, sad day when you have to consider whether "sinister ducks" might be considered a suspicious interest...

Otherwise, the world hasn't collapsed yet. I'm (technically) all academical again, though I don't start till next semester.

And winter is coming, which means hot chocolate is mandatory :D.

Thanks for that link - I couldn't figure out what in the hell was going on. I've seen it referenced a few times in MQ but didn't know who did what or who or how and ahhhhh I was confused!

Also: hello! Plz to not disapeer like that evar again. kthx.

[ianthefira.livejournal.com]

You're back! And at such a time!

Don't you love binomial nomenclature? It's so poetic sometimes. XD;

[shaysdays.livejournal.com]

Helloooooooooo!

I like Sarraceniaceae Sarracenia. Sarasarasarasara...

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you aten't dead.

I've been sick a lot and then LJ sploded but not mine.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Haaaaay. You need to put a pogo stick on your ATEN'T DED icon. Or maybe a jack-in-the-box. Or a vampire in a coffin, hee.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Or a coffin-vampire-jack-in-the-box!

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

It needs a guidebook. I suggest the title Que Sarraceniaceae Sarracenia.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I somehow missed it for a whole day, but... yeah. Drama. Dramadramadrama.

Also: I be not disappeerings again ever if i can helping it. *squish*

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I is!

Mmm... chocolate. *scampers kitchenwards*

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Vampire in a box! I think they have something like that on Kingdom of Loathing...

Certainly if I were a vampire and rose from the dead as often as you, I'd welcome a spring at the bottom of my coffin to facilitate a speedier exit from the grave.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

It is truly the sign of civilised naming.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

The biggest problem with the spring is that my holy symbol flashcards end up scattered everywhere.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Me too! Though I don't know what I'd think of it if I were.

Splodey LJ: not good. Not-splodey Lauren LJ: good. Sick Lauren: not good. *gives hugs of wellness, +2, +4 vs. common viruses*

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Oh well, consider it a pop quiz!

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

The hugs of wellness have restored many of my hit points and made me immeasurably more cheerful.

*goes back to statting up a dire swordfish to use as an attack weapon against lootable ships*

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

You're alive! Weee!

Also, I don't think I much care for "narcissus pseudinarcissus", all hard to stop pronounceing and making me sound drunk. Shame on it.
