Bits!

australian_joe has a post which continually makes me grin like a loon (y'know, I've never actually seen a loon), here.

rosefox did much that was nifty during Blogathon last Saturday, made up almost entirely of audio posts, including songs, poems, and stories. And, if you go donate, you can listen to it all, too! She mentions it here.

rosefox also pointed us all to a set of comments in code which were being removed due to 'dirty words'. Having randomly read source code throughout my time as QA, I'm highly amused.

Finally, I must share some geeky cuteness. Also - I _frequently_ get confused between things I posted/emailed and things I say on the phone. Probably due to lack of contextual non-verbal input.

Oh! I lied. Not finally. This might be finally. starandrea posted something which included

"I try to remember that I actually know people who are Republicans and they're perfectly nice. (Even if they would forbid me to marry, take my children, and damn me to hell on holy ground. That's fine. It's all good.)"

in it. I'm _so_ amused.

Pretty! But many pictures.

I adore my friends list, oh yes.

*stops linking to other people's journals for the moment*

[silly!] My roommate and I are _so_ silly.

aelisdeliria and I have strange conversations.

A: I must go pee!
W: Pee!
A: Pee!
W: Q!
A: Arrrrrrrrrr!
W: Essssssss!
A: *sneaks up* *little voice* Tea!
W: *points* You!
A: *questioningly, clutching chest* V?
W: *both hands, insistently* _Double_ You!
A: *crossing fingers, wardingly* Ex!
W: *inquisitively* Why?
A: *shrugging dismissively* Z.

[braaaaaains] Sometimes I don't know what I think until I say it!

Especially when I'm talking to aelisdeliria!

So, I was commenting on my (mostly) lack of schmoop, and her reply was something along the lines of that it mostly doesn't happen, but every so often I get really gleeful.

My reply was something along the lines of my belief that I have long-time habit of not letting it out of my head most of the time, so as to not irritate the people around me. When I do, it's a conscious thing, and generally means I've decided the person I'm being schmoopy around actually derives joy from my joy. And even then, it's fairly rare. It's pretty much foreign to me now to contemplate the idea of burbling at people _without_ thinking about it first. I wonder if this has anything to do with my uncertainty about generally having (much) NRE?

Or... maybe... it might fall under my difficulty with letting out expressions of strong emotion. *contemplates* Y'know, it really _might_! What an odd thought... Look! I am highly controlled over positive strong emotion, _toooo_! And I didn't know it! But this is _entirely_ about not wanting to irritate the hell out of everyone else, and _not_ about vulnerability. Interesting.

(Of course, I also had to talk about freeing the thoughts that I share when I'm being schmoopy, in a literal way, where they start dancing and playing because they are _freeeeee_! But then, that's just how my head works. ;)
