MIND CONTROL, of the worst sort!

[lettered]

So, I just posted to this comm I run, and in the mood theme place it says I'm feeling hopeful.

I am not feeling hopeful.

Well, I totally am, because TOMORROW YOU GUYS TOMORROW, and also I'm doing it I'm really doing it, and I like my job even though some people suck, and I'm going to Granny's for Thanksgiving and stuff, and people keep having babies, like both my brothers and a friend back home and crazydiamondsue (er, not that she had another one. I mean the old one. Yes, Jonah is OLD now), and it is autumn, and Thornfield is not only a beautiful place in autumn, Cirian!Rochester, it is a beautiful place all year round, says Morton!Jane, and I love what I'm writing now SO MUCH, and Evangelion is amazing.

But I am not hopeful because I did not say I was hopeful, Mr. Livejournal Thang, so please to not be telling me how I feel!

Why would it do this? Was it looking at my voter's registration card???

Of course Evangelion is amazing. Have you ever doubted it, my child?

[tkp.livejournal.com]

YES I DIDN'T KNOW. I WAS YOUNG AND UNTUTORED IN THE WAYS OF THE WORLD.

Your icon is awesome!

[alex-s9.livejournal.com]

Well, in that case I absolve you. Are you watching the TV series or reading the manga or watching the movies?

Thanks for the icon complement.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

I watched the tv series and then the movie "End of Evangelion".

I didn't know there was a manga.

I do plan to watch the movies.

LOL! I totally noticed you said you were feeling hopeful, too, and I was thinking to myself, "hmm, I wonder what specifically she is feeling hopeful about?" LJ is so weird.

I am feeling hopeful that I will find time to reply to your other post, over on marmalade fish. *crosses fingers*

I've edited it like 5 times! It won't go away!

When Anna and I were cowriting Cerulean Blue, there was this one section of our shared google doc that kept...I'm trying to remember what...I think it was highlighting itself, or bolding itself or something. Really weird. Anna was about ready to tear her hair out.

It's possible that LJ is practicing a form of (un)subtle mind control by making you feel whatever it wants.

Be very careful when the mood is cannibalistic. Unless you're into that.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAH OMG. It's true, because I realized how hopeful I felt only *after* that stupid mood thing wouldn't go away!

Hmmm . . . mmm... *mouth waters*

Pretends to be a large stuffed cabbage, somewhat secure in that Texans probably don't eat anything not barbequed.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

We also eat of the TexMex. Also I live in Seattle now which means I have to eat weird organic veggie stuff. SO WATCH OUT.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

ACK! NO!

Pretends to be a tongue sandwich and scuttles away.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

There you go! You're looking very...tongue-y ;o)

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Licks you wetly.

[my_daroga]

You are adorable.

Just so that's not all I say, I was disappointed to learn this morning that for Yuletide Phantom (any variety) is not an eligible rare fandom. Which, yeah, okay, is probably true but only (I think) when taken all together.

This makes me want to do a POTO fic exchange, but I know I'll fail because no one will care. I'll get like three people to sign up.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

NO NO NO. YOU MUST DO IT. I will help you beat the bushes, if need be. I will even write one!

God I'm such an enabler.

I'm totally going to enable you more when you get home!

And I think more than three people would participate. Phantom fandom never does anything! We should have like a comm that does a yearly exchange. Or something.

I...I have problems left alone in a house by myself.

[my_daroga]

LOL.

I look forward to being enabled in my own home. God, it's so violating! And yet I love it!

I feel like I've been trying to revamp POTO phantom almost all on my own for awhile now, never really knowing how, you know? Sort of like with the band--I know we have something, and I know someone out there wants it, but I just don't know how to put those things together.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Yeah. I dunno know what to say other than that's so right, and I want to help. I will help you with a ficathon/fest/exchange/type thing in any way necessary.

Since there are so many Xmas fests, maybe it should be something for the beginning of next year? Also, Yuletide. I always meant to do that; I need to read up on it...

Why am I thinking about this stuff? Why why why?

[my_daroga]

Why am I, for that matter? It is madness!

And yeah, I want to give folks a chance to participate in Yuletide, if they want, and holidays. So maybe the beginning of next year. But I will need to be prepared/organized. And stuff.

TOMORROW!!

We get free lunch at work if we show our voter sticker. So I will get free lunch for canceling out my boss' vote. *g*

Jonah is totally old. He's got that old man fringe hair, even. Toothless! And doesn't seem to remember from day to day what he did the day before. "Say! There are monkeys above my bed! Monkeys! Well, I'll be."

Both of your brothers?? That's awesome! I'm excited about Thanksgiving. I'm making a pie that's half pumpkin custard and half pecan. It's like a merging of cultures, if you will.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

HEE. OMG, he's obviously the best baby ever.

Dunno when I'm going to vote--I'm afraid there'll be lines.

Yeah, the one had the baby in June, and then in October I found out the other one's pregnant! Not the brothers, obviously. The wives will be doing the dirty work.

I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie, but that sounds rather cool! I'm looking forward to baking for my granny. She never gets home cooked meals!

LJ has been doing wonky things lately - eating comments, subsituting icons, changing layouts randomly. So mind control is not out of the realm of possibility.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Mind control is *never* out of the realm of possibilities.

...

I actually have a mind control kink. There should be more mind control in Buffyverse fandom. I have this really cool idea for my IWRY fic. I don't know how to do it. I'm aflutter. I haven't written Jossverse in so long!

Lynne! I've been wanting to read those two stories! I've especially wanted to have a long space of time to read Fragments. I'm looking forward to vacation this Nov. I saw you put the 5 Things A/S as one of your favoritest fics--v. cool.

[lynnenne]

Yay for vacation and fic reading! <3

We're in your LJ, dictating your mood ... :D

HEE. SCARY.
