*purr of contentment*

I got the drop on several of my sister's friends today - by being able to both scare them and impress them in the time I met them. The first was all the silly stuff through the window - the psycho grins, the matrix-esque shootings, the swordplay, all of that. That was scary, yet impressive. Beyond that, though, as we chatted, I managed to impress a few people with my tiny knowledge on things like religious events, alternate time universes, and the rules of Chrononauts. One of her friends is going to go buy that game, because he likes time travel.

And someone high up in the military finally admitted he truth - it's fun to shoot some people when you're in the military. As opposed to the RIAA, who subpoenaed a dead woman, and a guy who claims that he single-handedly stopped a gay agenda from being taught in a public school. Sounds like the guy who taught his asshole to talk. Or maybe he's just an asshole that taught itself to talk.

A Conservative (in Canada, unfortunately) give us his opinion on gay marriage. I say import him and let him take some power. I also heard that New York City could start giving licenses for civil unions. Can anyone confirm or deny these rumors?

I need a drink. No, no that stuff - pure as this guy's selling it as, I want something a bit different. Like the stuff they drink on Star Trek. You know, the good stuff. The stuff that they warn you not to have after giving blood (which I did today). The stuff you need after working on your own thesis for a while (which I also did today). Yeah, I need Winter Prog and its drinks. Well, the social atmosphere, too, probably moreso than the drinking, but the drinking helps, too.

I'm getting cynical and snarky in comments I leave to other people. Not about their entry - often I'm agreeing and then being verbally violent to whatever thing they're taking to task. It's probably a need for catharsis on my part, as well as a lot of those things just pissing me off. So I suppose I'm a liberal in many things, and with the way the Administration thinks, I wouldn't be surprised if liberal suddenly means terrorist. Go fly a kite in a thunderstorm, Mr. Bush and his Thought Police. The shock you get might be enlightening.

Unless, of course, you're using Tao Shielding (something I should think about taking up), and then we're pretty close to sunk.

then there's the true story of joseph pujol, the fartiste...

Now that's just cool. The power of the blog is great, indeed, when someone else can one-up an already silly thing with something that was silly, and actually happened.

[przxqgl.livejournal.com]

thanks... being silly is one of the things that i have studied in depth, and people like joseph pujol and william burroughs are among the focii of that study.

I'm reading about Burroughs in my American Subcultures class right now. Reading a bit of Burroughs suddenly makes a lot of things make a little more sense.

And I'm yoinking that C'thulhu icon and using it for myself. Especially since I own one of those.

And how can you make a good study of being silly... because I think I might want to try my hand at it.

[przxqgl.livejournal.com]

tell you what... i made this cthulhu icon to replace another one that was stolen by someone else... instead of yoinking this one, why don't i make a different one for you?

as far as how to study being silly, i couldn't say, it just sorta came to me... but i've been at it for 45 years now, and i found that it gets easier the more time passes. one thing i've found helps a lot, though, is a good fake degree. i personally use MSU, which stands for Makes Stuff Up... but you don't have to tell people that, if they don't already know.

[silveradept]

All right. Make me one, then, so that I don't take yours and spread it about the Blogoverse.

I think studying silly things, in your case, doesn't need the fake degree. After all, you could have a real degree from MSU (Michigan State University) and always you'd be studying silly things. But that's just because I go to the rival school.

[przxqgl.livejournal.com]

here you go...



and as far as getting a real degree, then i'd have to study the silly things that "they" want me to study, instead of the silly things i want to study... and, honestly, i think the silly things i want to study are more relevant to the way i live my life... for example, michigan is a little out of my way...

[silveradept]

Thanks for the picture.

And you're right - study your silly things, then trick them into giving you a degree for it (like I am) - it doesn't have to be Michigan... any other M state or country or would do, so long as it were M-S-U.

[przxqgl.livejournal.com]

or use the MSU to stand for Makes Stuff Up and not worry about it, like i do... after all, it is silly...

[silveradept]

Tina Chopp is silly. Then again, with the way things are on this world, you might expect God to be silly by now.

Here you are, sir.

-Welah!

[silveradept]

Excellent - many thanks. I had only caught it in passing while I was giving blood, and thus wondered whether I was merely delirious, or actually had heard properly.
