Let's try this another way
Sep. 27th, 2009 10:08 pmTwo people I know have recently had anonymous confession posts/memes/events/what-have-yous.
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.
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
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?
