Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Backatcha, mizzybelle!
Shower tonight. You'll sleep better. Plus, headstart on morning!

Or, in my case, when I brought meatspace friends into the internet.
Like me! Vortex got me to try TableTalk, way way back in 1999! Thanks, Vortex!!
One of the things that I love about the internet is that no matter where I am, I have a friend in 50 miles. When I first started doing a lot of work travel, I would bring work to do so I wouldn't get bored at night. I quickly stopped doing that because it was useless since I was always meeting/getting reacquainted with people from my threads.
Amen to this also. I've occasionally had bosses/coworkers who were very confused as to why, no matter where we went, I'd be like "Oh, sure, I have friends there!" They always are like "Uh, from school?"
How many of you who don't consider yourselves computer geeks know what RSS is and use it at least once a week? If you use a feed in LJ, this may be you.
This is me. I have several feeds on LJ. But every time I do it, i have to figure out/remember how. I've heard of RSS readers but don't know what they are. (I mean, I can figure out what they DO, but I couldn't name one, or work it)

It tastes like how I imagine satan's armpit would taste.
Ok, you are crazy! But sane, sleepseeking mom. STILL CRAZY...but I'll never offer you root beer. And not a bad mom. Stop that.
jesseh is a wonderful, cat-seducing (DEVI SLEPT WITH HER OMG), entertaining (and hopefully not lost in the wilds of B'more) houseguest, btw.
paperdol, my so-not-getting-it parents are (now, finally) entertained by your book. They get my life online so much more now(even as I've tried to explain over years and years [apparently, I'm not very articulate], and then as I invite online people to my family home over xmas....they don't quite get it. Love the people entirely, not sure of the connections that they came from.)
From my parents outsider perspective, one of the most powerful to the-do-not-get-its was the Internet Wants Your Daughter.
Though they found something familiar ( I love you, but I'm going to Albertsons ALONE said sara ) in Together, Alone. Which they already knew, but always need reinforcements. Believe me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But rootbeer likes and dislikes are new, msbelle! And I shall not state my preference to keep it fresh for next time.
Your RSS responses sound about where I expected. It's not a commodity, but people who don't understand it are getting value from it. That article struck me as a bit doomsaying. Okay, no, very. My super-scientific poll totally beats it.

you, dearheart, are a troublemaker.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
For the record, Chez Zmayhem not only drinks root beer, but we drink a wide variety of them and rate them and prefer the fancy ones.

word question because my brain is fried -- what's another word for breakdown, as in "the breakdown of color group b is red, yellow and green" I can't use breakdown because I already used it in the sentence before with color group a.

Decomposition?
Not sure that sounds right....
Or just 'composition'?
