Take that, life; read ye what fine print may be found writ upon the icon, yea.
And so, in a notepad where I have things I could maybe post on - current affairs news, for example, reporting on a tree that stood in the same spot for 250 years! Incredible, groundbreaking journalism there; following the tree through its daily paces of...
um...
standing. And sponging off carbon dioxide produced by hard-working taxpayers, or something like that.
Or, the display case of breads and pastries, labelled as a 'self-service cabernet'. Which has since been fixed, but still. Self-service cabernet!
Or the lamentable lack of alt text in mobile phone internet. Grr, phone companies.
Or, the pressing question: just how dowe know a placebo does nothing? [This question was prompted mostly by general weirdness, and some randoms discussing clinical testing on the footpath. No, no, not clinical tests on the footpath. That'd just be odd.]
Ultimately, though, this can be yet another triumphant return to LJ. And since I've just arbitrarily decided that, I should really do it properly. And by 'properly', I mean by stealing a meme from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

lesslikeyou. So, with minimal further ado, the meme:- Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.
Discuss. - How long have you known me?
- When and how did we first meet? (Hint: It wasn't a dark and stormy night; the rain didn't fall in torrents, except at occasional intervals, nor was it checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (and, likely, our scene lies not in London), rattling along the housetops, nor did it fiercely agitate the scanty flame of lamps that may or may not have struggled against the darkness.)
- What was your first impression?
- Do you still think that way about me now? (Optionally, why? Why not?)
- What do you think my weakness is?
- Do you think I'll get married? Or, more appropriately, do you think I would if only it were legal for me to do so here?
- What makes me happy?
- What makes me sad?
- What reminds you of me?
- If you could give me anything, what would it be?
- How well do you know me?
- Have you ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
- Do you think I could kill someone? Note, could, rather than should.
- Describe me in one word.
- Do you think our friendship is getting stronger, weaker, or staying the same?
- Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
- Are you going to put this on your LiveJournal and see what I say about you? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a LiveJournal meme, the most powerful vector for sheeping in the world, and would pad your journal out some, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel mimetic?' Well, do ya, LJpunk?
