Corrupting influence

[muckefuck]

Well the "off chance" mentioned in my previous entry wasn't quite so off after all. We were relaxing after dinner, me having just taken care of some online bidness, when monshu commented, "I was trying to read your journal earlier, but the bookmark doesn't work." Turned out the bookmark was fine, he had just tried following it during one of LiveJournal's completely uncharacteristic moments of totally flakiness.

I asked him why the sudden interest and he gave me a noncommittal answer. I wonder if I've been remarking on the quotability of his utterances too much of late (I scribbled down two over the weekend; after the second, he asked, "Oh, is that going in there, too?") and he's curious to see how his words are being used.

In any case, I tried to encourage his interest. I said, "You should read caitalainn's journal, too." Then I pointed out that I've got a dozen idle codes buring a hole in my pocket. If he got an account, he could set up a Friends page with the two of us on it. Wouldn't that be conveeenient?

He hasn't taken the bait--yet.

Comments

Friends pages are convenient, but in my experience comments are the real gateway drug. Sure, it's possible to comment anonymously, but as long as you're going to be making semi-regular comments, it's more convenient to just get an account.

So can you think of any subjects he wouldn't be able to resist commenting on?

-e just looks at my friends page, and then we discuss on the car ride home. It's like we're taking the same class.

Holy gods! Now I have to be interesting!

I wasn't going to say anything...

Don't think you've been grandfathered into my Friends page. In fact, I hate to tell you this girl, but you're hanging in there by a fibre.

It's because I don't write enough about food, isn't it?

...filled with depression ... how will I live?
