Dear Barbelith...

13:20 / 26.08.03

I am very bored thus I have decided to make some life changing Anna de Logardiere decisions. From now on I shall refer to each and every one of you as 'it' rather than 'he' or 'she'. I shall also be referring to you as dawg. This newfound phrasing is at least partly thanks to American Idol.

Good afternoon.

13:49 / 26.08.03

Excuse me, but you will not refer to me as 'it', if you don't mind. If 'he' or 'ze' upsets you, you may fall back on the form of address I have recently been insisting upon from my eight or so nephews and nieces when they require my attention and aid in some trifling matter of sanction or judgement: "Supreme Majestic Uncle".

Since we are not directly related, so far as I know, you may also wish to employ the more formal "Grand Ubiquity of the Island States of Yiao".

13:54 / 26.08.03

Yes "Grand Ubiquity of the Island States of Yiao" I shall do so. If anyone else wishes to have a specific form of address rather than participate in the experimental experiment of Anna de Logardiere (I must find some form that isn't, I or me, any suggestions?) it shall not be ignored.

Well, if our relationship has progressed to the point, Mistress, where you're prepared to address me as "dawg" online, are you up for a visit to the club in Kings Cross where those given to the "doggie" fetish come for beer and obedience classes. *tail wags excitedly*

13:58 / 26.08.03

I am very much afraid that I do, indeed, wanna be your dawg, ADL.

13:59 / 26.08.03

There's something uniquely satisfying about being given one's full salutation, and I thank you for it. Perhaps it would brighten your day if Barbelith were to design such a salutation for you? You could select from a number of titles proposed by the magnificent indwellers of the realm.

13:59 / 26.08.03

Hmm, I could take a whole gang of dawgs with me. I suspect you may all be a little too disobedient for me.

Saint Keggers

14:09 / 26.08.03

I dont want to be anyones Dawg. You may refer to me as: Kegboy,Last of the Romanov, Heir to the Russian Throne and Keeper of the Grand Secret of Norway.

14:12 / 26.08.03

Oh, please please please please!!! Don't keep it any longer! What on Earth is the Grand Secret of Norway?

Pleeeeeeeease?

8===>Q: alyn

14:13 / 26.08.03

I'll answer to Dawg, Homie, Son, or Black, Anna. Or "it", I suppose. Anything for attention.

14:16 / 26.08.03

Well everyone deserves some attention "Dawg, Homie, Son, or Black, Anna"

Saint Keggers

14:16 / 26.08.03

If I told you would it be a secret? WOULD IT??? Sheeesh. Grand secrets just arnt thrown about in casual conversation y'know. Thats part of what makes them Grand. Its not "Bloody obvious facts that the world is well aware of" or evn "Neato things that a select few have a vague knowledge of"

14:21 / 26.08.03

Vous pouvez m'appeller La Belle Dame de Mélasse. Je ne suis pas un chien. Ni un chiawn.

Ethan Hawke

14:23 / 26.08.03

Apparently, every deli clerk and delivery boy in NYC thinks I'm the "Boss." So you can call me that. And get me a fucking sandwich.

Sax

14:24 / 26.08.03

Mmmm. Molasses.

14:34 / 26.08.03

Well "Boss" I hope you're satisfied now.

14:35 / 26.08.03

And "La Belle Dame de Mélasse" what does chiawn mean?

14:43 / 26.08.03

Err, nothing - it was just me adding the 'aw' from dawg to chien. Sorry.

Yea Gods! Not French! Ariadne, luv, could you refrain from using a cursed language I don't understand? Try Latin, or 38th Century; something everyone knows. Please?

Hmmm..... Anna, dearest, you realize you've just left me an open invitation to make random shit up, right?
So, you may refer to me as 'Spyder', or 'Agent 000', or 'The Supreme Pontiff'(what is pontiff supposed to mean, anyway? bloody catholics...), or 'Sonic Boy', or 'Sonic Girl', or I suppose 'dawg' would do as well. More names to come....

14:55 / 26.08.03

But, but, it's my only language! Well, other than this one, obviously.

Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut and 'die schöne Dame der Melasse' just isn't meeeeeee, somehow. Anyone know how to say it in Latin? Haus, what's Latin for treacle?

15:03 / 26.08.03

Ah. Yes. I'm an idiot.

Just so you know you are all added to the 'it' referrals list. It's a little post it that I carry in my kitsch notebook so it's lucky there are only five of you.

15:08 / 26.08.03

I must be gone, to the bottom of my well. Toodle pip.

16:16 / 26.08.03

Wow, I killed this one, didn't I? Home now.

16:35 / 26.08.03

I think everyone's in traffic. Is it just me who hasn't received any damn email today, despite having a good few sent to me? It's like getting Christmas presents ahead of time and not knowing which ones have razor blades in them.

Looking back at that sentence, I realise that it looks a little odd.

16:58 / 26.08.03

If I were your therapist, we'd be looking a little more deeply into that metaphor, I think.

My email's been fine thanks, but I know how frustrating it is to know they're out there, wafting about somewhere and unable to get to you.

Spyder Todd 2008

17:00 / 26.08.03

A tad bit. I'm only stopping in every few hours between classes when no one I know is out and about....

17:08 / 26.08.03

err... that's not a metaphor, is it? Long time since i was at school, obviously.
The inlaws are coming! Got to brush my hair. Bye for now.

19:00 / 26.08.03

Quite frankly I'm amazed by the amount of attention this thread has had considering it was complete bullshit and I was having a loopy, head spinning, I just got my first paycheck moment (since then I've been to Borders and moved some furniture around and I feel far more normal). I'd like to thank you for humouring me.

21:26 / 26.08.03

And I thank you, Anna [edit] de L. for considering referring to me henceforth as Mug.

We LUV you, doll. Head spinning is fine.

Spyder Todd 2008

22:24 / 26.08.03

more names....
'The Human Torch', 'Rama Kashna', 'The Beast That is Called Dragon', 'chili con Carne' (wait, I'm a vegetarian!)....

03:44 / 27.08.03

I'd like to be referred to as "skipper", or "skip" for short. (If anyone wants to say "aye aye", then that would be swell, too.)
