Two people I know have recently had anonymous confession posts/memes/events/what-have-yous.

[livejournal.com profile] aroraborealis' versions usually lead to everyone claiming to want to have sex with everyone else on the Internet, or complaints that no one on the Internet wants to have sex with them. [livejournal.com profile] vito_excalibur altered the rules to "Post something you actually want to say to another person, but won't because consequences", which led to a lot of interesting bitterness.

I always leave anonymous commenting enabled and IP-logging off, so in theory you can do this stuff all the time over here in my LJ, but let's see if I can stir up my own anonymous-whatever-meme-thingy. I have a small friend overlap, and hey, it's the beginning of the week and you will all be trying to procrastinate anyway.


Here's what I want you to do:

Post something you suspect others think about you but that never gets said.


Note that I have ditched [livejournal.com profile] vito_excalibur's frustrating, speciesist "person" requirement, allowing you to engage in the traditional Internet activity of putting words in the mouths of your cats.

Uh, try not to get too distracted by self-deprecation and lolcats -- I'd like it if you tried to think about humans at least as much as non-humans, and tried to balance positive and negative (but not necessarily in the same comments). You don't have to post anonymously, of course, but it might make other people more comfortable posting if you stay anonymous, too. I don't know, it's the Internet -- you figure it out.


Lolcats-style images with captions[1] on them are acceptable, though.

[1] The best word I have had suggested for captions within images is "figure text" -- got anything better?

In order to appreciate the humor beneath the cut, you need to be familiar with Dating Status Buttons [except, the link I was sending people to is now broken, so I can't tell you to go look at the originals so that you know what they actually say! Help!]

Okay?


This is what I see: )

The web page that does this generates html, so I might as well post it here. Note that it generates the html with the cut tag on top already, because the creator was a very nice person.


Who comments the most on this journal? )

I was talking to [livejournal.com profile] elusiveat about panel descriptions in con schedules, and wondering what it would look like if you rewrote them to accurately reflect what would actually go on in them (try it!).

This reminded me of a meme I was going to do this to, so I went hunting for it. The version I found in my files seemed pretty unfinished, so I think this is one of many projects I started and forgot.[1] If I already posted this, then my memory is really bad for this sort of thing, and I apologize. It's a great example of what I'd try to do to con schedules, though (if I knew enough about cons to make fun of them well).

I am not trying to pick on the person whose LJ I lifted this from, and in fact I don't remember who that was.

35 questions meme, with translations )

There are three questions, each answerable with a number. It is permissible and probably necessary to estimate the numbers. SAVE YOUR WORK -- you might want to refer to it later.

NSFW -- Questions, instructions, and a poll )
ratatosk_ljbackup: (Default)
Here's how it works: There are 30 questions. Post the answers only. Only reveal the questions to someone who agrees to do it themselves.

alas, a meme )

An excuse to play with the rich text interface for LJ posts.  At least there's no blink tag.
Verdict: The interface is pretty limited and I had to go over into HTML to fix stuff all the time.
Stupid food list )

Some people have been posting the following in their LJ's:

How many times has someone on your friends list posted about something and you were really confused, but you didn't want to ask because you knew you SHOULD know? How many times have you felt 'guilty' asking a close LJ friend a question that should be 'obvious'?

Well, here's your chance. If you've missed a few things, missed an entry and are confused, ask me anything. Even something EXTREMELY basic, like where I live! I'm not going to get irritated at any of the questions - we've all missed things before, so ask away!


Now, people are confused by me on a regular basis, but I think mostly they are interested enough to ask, or else I have bored them to tears already and they aren't going to bother. But when I see this in other journals, the things that run through my head are:


  • What underwear are you wearing?
  • So, what is your sex life like nowadays?
  • Did you post that anonymous comment back there?
  • What was the thing that I meant to do today, that I thought of right before I fell asleep last night, but have now forgotten?
  • What is art?
  • Did you actually go relabel everything 'BEES!!!' like you said you would?


I'm sure if I thought about it for a while I could come up with something better, but fortunately I'm not getting graded or paid for wasting time on the Internet.
