the lj love-in

iceinyourmusicI used to be a girl scout. (.mm-yes, that was me, girl scout was I.) I was seven-and-a-half and I went to the only real camp in my life, we were all miserable for a week and hated the food and slept in puddles of water except for the last two nights when we slept in a sauna, to avoid drowning, and little people would tumble down from the benches onto other little people on the floor all night long. One night, earlier, one of the two older girls in our tent, looking out for us, told us horror stories and frightened the life out of us (or me – I was also afraid of the bugs and the cows on the field next door made me cry), so badly that gentler tales about blue ponies had to be told afterwards, frightened the life out of us with a story that involved a madman and eyes getting gouged out – the madman’s eyes, possibly, or maybe he gouged out someone else’s eyes, or maybe the eyes had nothing to do with him at all.
I’ve never once been able to read King Lear without thinking about that, and the blue pony. Is this association only in my head? Or had the story somehow been secretly inspired by King Lear? Shall I ever really know for sure? That’s definitely something to think about
when the nights are cold and lonely.
Anyway, the funny friends meme that’s doing the rounds. I don’t usually do memes much, obviously, but this one, I thought, yes, this one sounds exactly like something someone with 11 mutual friends, the majority of whom are total strangers, should do, at two o’clock in the morning. Come here, my sisters! Let me kiss you all!!!
You. Are like a big bag of candy, full of every-flavour mixey goodness.
You. Feel like a bit of a roller coaster ride yet oddly familiar.
You. Rock so that I’d like to import you just so all my RL friends would envy muchly.
You. I was thinking about something quite else and then suddenly your writing was in my head and I got all distracted.
You. Do this rather unexpected every now and then.
You. It gets pretty darn sexy, doesn’t it - especially when you start bringing the names.
You. Take my breath away and leave me absolutely speechless sometimes. Dammit.
You. Attractive and dangerous, you’re quite a flame for my inner onlinish moth.
You. Oh, you’re just amazing, you know that? But you are.
You. Know how to shake the world so that it goes all wonky and lovely for a while.
You. I don’t think I’ve got you quite figured out yet, but I’d like to, so I think we need to get drunk together and then you must talk...
... although the very last bit goes for everyone. We should all get drunk together, strangers &all. The whole world needs to get drunk together. We’ll all think each other much more amusing, honestly. So, if you’re ever in town, do give me a call, okay? And there’ll be so much love! Love! Can't you feel it already?
...yeah. I’m also getting up for work in exactly 4 hours.

Date: 2002-12-15 05:37 pm (UTC)I'm kind of hoping for this one - You. Attractive and dangerous, you're quite a flame for my inner onlinish moth. because the description makes me flutter delightfully but seeing as how I'm about as dangerous as a drunken aphid, it's unlikely.
Drunkeness is very nice (of the non-aphid variety as well). We could all meet up in a downtown hotel in some random town and have a night of debauchery and adoration. I don't know where you live or else I might come there ;)

And here I thought I was being so obvious. Maybe if I hadn't omitted "sparkly" from the description? :P)
