Anonymous commenting!

I was suddenly grabbed by the idea that I've seen many other people use, where they suggest that people comment anonymously in their journal.

So! IP logging is off, and anonymous posting is allowed (neither of these are changes from normal, actually). Tell me something! Anything! Be secretive and yet spark my curiosity at the same time. Make me crazy, wondering who posted what. :)

Be silly! Be crazy! Be brutally honest! Confuse me, entertain me, make me laugh too hard to breathe!

[Note: If there are cruel comments posted, no matter who they are about or aimed at, I will delete them. Go elsewhere to do that kind of thing. (honesty is fine. Cruelty is not)

I don't actually expect it to be a problem, as I cannot think of any time that anyone has posted anything nasty or cruel on my journal, but I wanted to have stated it anyway.]

Is your giddy not-quite-human persona real or a construct?

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

I just laughed so hard I scared away my cat.

Thank you!

(I AM A CONSTRUCT!)

(Hmm. Maybe I'm a really elaborate AI, and no one knows!)

You're a hottie. And a cutie. ;)

- your secret admirer

[(Anonymous)]

What they said, and some other things too!

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Gah! Now I'm intensely curious!

(But then, I did ask for people to make me curious. ;) So you are successful, secret person!)

You’re a hottie and a cutie and very very smart and fascinating and loads of fun. Too bad you don’t get inside my head easily. (I was having a conversation with somebody who does get inside my head easily recently, about the fact that that’s not the case with everybody.)

Also, we should hang out and watch a movie again sometime, although looking at my calendar it’s probably not going to be really soon.

You need more faces in your life. :)

honestly, I think you're a good person, have a quirky smile that says much, are rather hot in several ways and I would enjoy getting to know you better :).

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

have a quirky smile that says much

Help! My smile is having conversations without me!

(What? I'm insane! You all _must_ know this by now!)

As for getting to know me better - if you have not already done so, tell me as much in a non-anonymous setting. It may not happen immediately - especially if you are not nearby - but it's far more likely to happen if I know about that interest. ;)

nice tongue. Do you plan on using it? ;>}

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Sticking it out _IS_ using it!

I read your journal occasionally via friendsfriends. I think you're adorable.

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Huh! Neat. :)

And by being a friendsfriends reader, there is no _possible_ way I could guess. Then again, I can't guess most of these. :)

*squirms in a pleased sort of way at being adorable*

I wish I could meet you. Your journal is not all that interesting to someone who doesn't know you, except in the stained-glass way of showing an interesting person beneath all those words. I read and follow along and play detective, but it would be infinitely more satisfying to talk to you in person.

Obviously the only reason you're keeping this journal is to amuse me. It's all about me me me me. Didn't know you that? Okay, it's 75% about me, and 13% about things that look neat when lit on fire, and half a percent about mochi in nonexistant flavours, and scientists are still working on analyzing the rest of it.

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Your journal is not all that interesting to someone who doesn't know you

Indeed, I would imagine not!

I suspect that I would not read my own journal, were I someone else, because I post _way_ too often, and about really, really strange things.

Why _can't_ you meet me? Are you in some strange location which I am unlikely to ever visit? Or are you unlikely to ever visit the Boston area? Or something?

(Detective-playing in regards to my journal amuses me. ;)

Re: journals...

It's not? Hmm. How'd I get here. I didn't know her until after I read her journal. I still don't really know her but I'm enjoying learning more as time goes by.

[(Anonymous)]

I think you should become a sex therapist. People would feel comfortable talking to you.

[(Anonymous)]

I think she should become a therapist in general, for the same reason mentioned above.

[(Anonymous)]

A. We have at least one LJ friend in common
B. I am not currently on your friends list
C. I have made at least one other comment on this post
d. We have met
E. The style of this comment itself is a clue

Who am I?

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Uh...

A,B,d - _NOT_ sufficiently small a set of people. :)

E - I can't think of anyone offhand who writes like that, but if you're not on my friends list right now, I don't read you regularly enough to recognize something like that.

C - Everyone whose writing I was able to recognize with a reasonable likelihood of being right is on my friends list.

So... I have _no_ idea who you are.

But then, I'm not very good at this kind of puzzle! :)

hi from the other side of anonymity
from a place with root beer
and difficulties
and fuzzy sheep that need to be boxed up and shipped off
and tickets to be bought
and someone eating some greens
and a rebate check
and maybe more to say one day
beyond today

[(Anonymous)]

fuzzy sheep!

[(Anonymous)]

You're someone I'd like to see more of, I think, if I lived close enough for it to be reasonable.

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

...

*notes that close enough isn't necessarily the difficulty*

I've met people from _lots_ of different places. I suspect that transportation and/or money and/or available time is far more the difficulty!

Or perhaps you mean more than brief visits? In which case, yeah - distance is a problem!

It's me! I'm anonymous, aren't I?

[wolfieboy.livejournal.com]

<post mode="anonymous">Much, much, much on the delightful brain-bits, soul-bits, and body-bits. I'm glad of the 3-D nature and based on the latter part of your description, of course I'm attracted.

It's your fault that I have salacious thoughts anytime I see chainmail now.

I'm delightfully taken up with learning more and more about you as time goes on. Yay!!

Re: It's me! I'm anonymous, aren't I?

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

*laugh* Methinks that you tried _way_ too hard to appear to be attempting to be anonymous to actually have intended to be anonymous. ;)

Also, hi! *grins evily* chainmail is your friend!

What have we learned from this post?

You might pass a Turing test, but we aren't entirely sure.
Your cat might, too, if there were one for cats.
People think you would make a good sex therapist.
Lots of people who have not met you, want to meet you.
Many, many of those who have met you think you are really hot.
Your tongue and shoulders distract people.
Somewhere out there is a mysterious place with fuzzy sheep and root beer.
Golum reads your journal.
