    It's fodder for stalker material to see if your crush actually does it. It's like the random bulletin posts on My Space. BTW don't do the 25 things. It makes you look desperate. Don't say you don't care. You need to care on this one.

    1. ZOMG! A list. About me! I love lists! I love me! OMGOMGOMG! What a perfect way to spend an unfeasibly scorchingly hot as Hades afternoon here in the Antipodes!!! Crouched in front of my computer in my air-conditioned study, writing about ME! This is going to be GREAT!


    [Wanders into kitchen, pours long, cool glass of home-made lemonade over ice-cubes. Returns to air-conditioned study. Thinks. Drinks.]


    2. I sometimes have trouble maintaining enthusiasm for pointless tasks. And, yet, I continue to comment on Gawker.


    [Reclines on couch. Drinks. Shuts eyes to ponder this conundrum. Snores. Deeply and loudly]

    1. If one more person sends me this list I'm defriending everyone.


    2. If it still continues, the beheadings shall commence.


    3. Cranky. That's all you need to know.

    @PikaDar❂Queen of the Tamagotchi: Oh yes. I refuse, refuse, refuse.

    When people mention Facebook I try to look dazed and mention my "cool new hotmail account."

    They feel better, and I feel smugly superior that I pulled one over on them.

    Wait a minute, is this working to my advantage or not?

    @PikaDar❂Queen of the Tamagotchi: I'm bitchy AND paranoid. Facebook is WAY too intrusive. I signed up for an account awhile ago just to get the lay of the land and I ended up crawling under my desk screaming, "can they see me?"

    I promptly disconnected my account and stopped mixing Nyquil and Jagermeister.

    1. I was born in the house my father built.
    2. When I stepped out of the movie theater, I had two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.
    3. It goes a long way back, some twenty years.
    4. 124 was spiteful.
    5. In my dream, the snow was falling all across my old Nebraska.
    6. If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

    I am so Unique! See, I wrote "Twenty things you probably didn't know about me", way, way back in January. They weren't "random" things. And then I took them down. So there is no evidence.


    These haters totes are not referring to me.

    What happened to the old-fashioned "reveal too much about oneself whilst drunk?" I miss those days. Now people do it on purpose and shit. Don't we all already know enough about each other? I'd prefer to know less about everyone.

    "if you do not fill out and pass on this list in the next ten minutes to 25 friends, then you are a bad person and what comes around goes around". My favorite part of all the fake chain letters and forwards...
