So Long, Mr Lateshift Prostate

04:03 / 29.08.07

So, 3P, I gather it's me and you in the wreckage of the post-apocalyptic 'lith. With Venger wandering around trying to make out who's who.

whattabout me?

04:05 / 29.08.07

I've picked my funny ceremonial hat!

04:05 / 29.08.07

You'll be the grumbling lone wolf, staying to the shadows and emerging only to scavenge or threaten. You'll camp with us only when it suits your purposes. Purposes being chiefly murder and sedition.

04:05 / 29.08.07

Hiya Leigh! Arrgh! Piratess extrodinaire!

oh...that's all right, then.

Outside of the Pouring Function, the only real addition to the 'lith I'd like is maybe a bit more of the sing-along. Because nobody can tell if you can't carry a tune in text.

And I know you're just trying to fool me with that 'sexfully' business. You think I'll decide it's naughty from its etymology, but really, it's about sex and full. And y.

... anyway, this one time we... and this blue horse... and Cheeta...

The Neolith has to have lateshifts.

My life was so happy before I saw those fingernails.

And now I know....despair. WOE!

LEIGH!!!!
HI!!!
Hi Leigh!!
Hi Leigh Unlikely!
(im laughing right now at my own brilliance)

Meddy, I love that hat. Its like a flat hotair balloon for your head.

hallo! lovely evening to you--does your ceremonial hat come with ceremonial nails?

04:07 / 29.08.07

Oh god, it's all going to be "Neolithic" age and people are going to start joining because they think it's a Neopets forum, not a Grant Morrison one.

04:08 / 29.08.07

Hey, Leigh!

I figured you'd ramble through on your way to more hardcore pirating. Maybe with baked goods.

(Barbelith brings out the opportunist in me, truly.)

04:09 / 29.08.07

and sushi. don't forget sushi.

04:09 / 29.08.07

I think my hair is long enough that I might experiment with - gasp - putting product in it again, for the first time in five years.

04:09 / 29.08.07

product? like dye? or like duct tape?

04:10 / 29.08.07

I am happy because I just finished my last day as waitress and bakerperson for at least four months, and I'm off to Rhode Island early in the morning!

04:10 / 29.08.07

Sushi and Pastry! Truly, we will be kings among men. And queens among women. And such.

Query: would the reverse of femme fatale be un homme fatal or un homme fatale? I suspect it's the former but mon francais isn't quite as strong as it once was.

04:11 / 29.08.07

What will you be doing in Rhode Island?

04:12 / 29.08.07

Product like wax or whatever. Maybe dye it, though. I haven't been platinum blond is some time, and I used to do it once in a while. While listening to my mother tell me how many people go out of their way to make their hair auburn like mine, and how I'm juust throwing it all away.

04:13 / 29.08.07

Nails are optional.

04:14 / 29.08.07

I am making sushi tomorrow night. I would love to invite you all.

04:14 / 29.08.07

rhode island=skools. Last year of undergrad. Hopefully. Then, out into the great wide world with a BA in creative writing! Truly I can think of no more harrowing adventure. Except maybe almost drowning in cheese...

04:15 / 29.08.07

The King Of All Tears

04:15 / 29.08.07

....or that.

04:16 / 29.08.07

Speaking as someone with their BFA in creative writing, Leigh, you'll do fine. Though I do eat a lot of cheese.

04:16 / 29.08.07

You have to. Its on the fine print of your degree.

04:18 / 29.08.07

I graduated "with distinction," too, so I only get to eat brie. ONLY BRIE.

04:19 / 29.08.07

Wow. Apparently I'm in violation. (Unless, the BS has a get-out clause.)

04:19 / 29.08.07

Mwahahaha. I am in no danger of this "distinction" you speak of--I will be free to gorge myself of kraft cheddar.

04:20 / 29.08.07

you got a BS in creative writing? I didn't even know that could happen.

04:20 / 29.08.07

Oh, there's a lot of bs in creative writting.

04:20 / 29.08.07

Must have been VERY creative.

04:21 / 29.08.07

I need to get back into the flow and apply to grad school, possibly once my portfolio feels strong again, so I can get my MFA and then teach fiction workshops. While growing distant and hateful of my young, vibrant students ripe with creativity. I'll hate them all, grade them low, and become a dean.

Or, you know, actually be a writer.

04:21 / 29.08.07

Now Im hungry and want sushi. or Rhumballs. Or sushi followed by rhumballs.

04:23 / 29.08.07

All it took to get "with distinction" was writing stories about things like transgendered super-spies and magic-realist STDs.
