1223357. And I forgot to put a message. I think the messages are the nicest bit.

I just saw that one you made by accident!

I think the messages are lovely too. Someone anonymous is making amazing ones.

I just reached my creative limit and had to stop. How frustrating.

wow. that's soooo cool.

1223374, I think.

I just wrote 'snowflakes are lovely', as I was bowled over by the loveliness of the whole idea.

He he, me too. GGM. I keep writing rubbish on mine.

I wish it didn't stop you if you're being too intricate though.

It really is the loveliest site ever, isn't it? Except it's made me really pissed off that Christmas is months away.

Y'know, Meludreen started a whole thread for the snowflakes...

boo!

You snowflake obbsessed folk, can't you not see there is a world beyond your false snokeflake paradise (which I refuse to partake in on the grounds that I might like it).

When will you learn to open yourselves to new experiences for example.... Carpet Man

oh yes, does whatever a carpet can

Ooh, I thought someone should start a snowflake thread. Didn't realise anyone had, though.

Please do it sTe. You will love it and loving things is ace! Don't you boo hiss.

Aww, thanks stoatie!

Nina - because whatever you do, the symmetry makes it beautiful, so anyone can make an amazing thing. Also it's the thought of someone accidentally clicking on yours and reading your message.

And also humans can't generally make snowflakes, and also no two are the same just like IRL, and also because they go away just like real snow.

It's just the most utterly wonderful site.

Stoatie that's so sweet!

Everyone be nice to me. I'm about to curl into a foetal ball and weep.

23:03 / 27.07.05
Oh dear. Why? Please don't weep.

*SIGH* But every tablecloth I make comes out like a snowflake.

Wait, there's something wrong with that sentence.

I'm just teeth-grindingly frustrated at my stupid brain for not providing hilarious yet apt slapstick comedy on tap. And for the rest of me for making it have to.

I think I may have remembered it? But I cannot be sure. It's still wrong, although I may now be able to see a pleasurable aspect

damn you all, you made me break my non snowflake vow

1223395, I think you will enjoy this message. Really.

Hi ya loves!

Erm...I need a question answering and thought I'd ask the late-shifters for advice...? Erm, you see, I've got this rash and... Oh-Only kidding! I haven't really... Honest, I swear!

Seriously though, I've been "working" on a new thread idea and when it's time I'd really like to post it somewhere on Barbelith to gleam the pearls of your collective wisdom (slime, slime, suck,suck, creep, creep....). Problem is: I don't know where and indeed whether to post it? It's basically about "Trust", in particular in respect of anonymity online and the dangers of various forms of exploitation (etc. I promise there's nothing underhand or personal about it (i.e. in respect of past/current threads and other members), and hopefully it is only offensive insofar as the post is still a bit long and contains my usual mix of anecdote, notion, and questioning. Sorry, I try but essentially I can't really help my style of writing: I is who I is, an' all...? Anyway, It's called "Who can YOU trust?"

So, any advice, please? Any old threads I should check out first? Which fora is best for this type of thing? Or even, "Down with this sort of thing!"? [Father Ted]

Oh, to get back into the LateShift Spirit: "Sygil Snowflakes" is a f**king genius idea! I had to stop myself last night after screwing around with the snowflake website for two whole, non-stop hours after I read that! And you're all right, it is bloody addictive! I love it, and I gotta stop going there and doing it.... Like now.... I mean NOW!....erm...

Mine look like Doilys or is it Doyleys?



Mr. Bizunth you should plagiarize.
I know, it's been done before.

The Londonist totally linked to my blog but I didn't even get a spike. I was sad.
