The anti-meme

[cupcake_goth]

Look, gang, while I get asking for validation and reassurance as much as the next person, I'm not going to keep replying to that Do you read me? If you read me on a regular/semi regular basis, leave me a comment and let me know. Then post this in your diary and find out who reads you thing that is spreading across my FL like blackberry brambles. Just assume I read your journal, 'kay? And if there is something specific that you want reassurance or hairpats or whatever for, THEN I will respond.





(Have I mentioned the irrationally cranky of late? Yeah.)

Okay. But do you *like* me?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Silly, silly jonquil. Not only do I like you, but I devoutly wish that you were the tech writer I edited. My days would be so less stressful.

[butterflywillow.livejournal.com]

So you want to start a gothic scrapbook??? I do tons of scraping. Blatherbits said you might want to get together, and get some idea on it?

[butterflake.livejournal.com]

I didn't respond to any of those either, though I read everyone's entries on my friends list. I also didn't want to make a post like you did, either. I'm just going to keep everyone guessing.

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Nyeh heh heh heh.

[savannarama.livejournal.com]

Me too. I respond to too many "four-alarm fires" to roll out of bed for this meme. (Although I don't post much anyway).

Jilli is being more kind. :)

[deliciouspear.livejournal.com]

I read you.

Also, I think you are very very pretty.

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

I don't know if you're being all that irrational or cranky. It is a little, well, string-pully. I've seen more adverse reaction to this meme than I've seen of the actual meme.

[deadrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! I posted something similar last night, and woke to find a new crop of friends asking the same thing.

I'm irrationally cranky too, what with the heat, a virus, and being at 'that certain age'.

I would love to pick your brain about EGA and Victorian Gothic fashion at some point over the next month. I'm attempting to pull together my look for CascadiaCon, and can't afford to spend a lot of money (or go to Japan to shop, not that it would fit me anyway).

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

OOoh! Hey, I'd been meaning to add you, so this works out. :)

[kerrizor.livejournal.com]

Funny thing is, I don't read yours, so I guess we're even.

;)

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

::thhhhhhppppp::

So, whatcha gonna wear to your interview?

[kerrizor.livejournal.com]

No idea. I wore pajamas to the phone screen this morning ^_^

[reddheart.livejournal.com]

*bats eyes cutely*

May I have a headpat for no reason at all please?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

pat, pat, pat

[keridwen.livejournal.com]

I read the last bit of that as "something specific that you want reassurance or hatpins for."

My first thought was, "Yeah, Jilli's always there for us when we need sharp, pointy things."

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Well, someone has to be.

[poetry-lady.livejournal.com]

I thought it was hatpins, too, as I know that you have and use them! I'd like a hatpin into the tires of the dipshit who threw a popcan into the river tonight--it could've caught a draft and smacked me (on the motorcycle).

I take it you don't need any reassurances or hairpats right now? Just crossed fingers?

[mearagrrl.livejournal.com]

heh. I saw them on my flist, and thought "I might respond if I were randomly reading your journal, but...you're on my flist. I read it. Just go with that"

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen the meme yet, I don't think. But I settled it once and for all anyway. ;)

In other news, I miss you and we should spend some hanging out time soon.

[muskrat-john.livejournal.com]

So THIS is where you hang out...

Hola!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Hee! Hello there! I could have sworn I responded to something on your LJ a while back, but maybe not.

[muskrat-john.livejournal.com]

You are far from mistaken.

[muskrat-john.livejournal.com]

Aha.

Here's the icon I *meant* to use...

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Bwah-ha-ha-ha! Oh, that's *great*.

[stroppy-baggage.livejournal.com]

Hi John! This is PMB's hubby. I wave at you feebly from my art computer. Deadlines - who knew?™

P.S. Gilly really needs to turn up sometime in High-Victorian Goth attire.

P.P.S. I don't do subtle hints.

::scampers off to add John to Friends List::

[muskrat-john.livejournal.com]

Grin.

I've already thought about sneaking " Y'know how I spent my evening? Making an elaborate choker out of vintage black lace, garnets set in silver, blood-red crystal beads & drops, and a pendant that is the Dracul family crest in silver, encased in glass, with a bit of soil from castle Dracula...while watching the Animaniacs" into the strip somewhere..."

(Modified just a tad, to suit a joke better...)

[stroppy-baggage.livejournal.com]

While wearing bunny slippers, I presume?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

OMG! You should! That would be great! Let me use more exclamation points!!

(And the night I made the necklace, I *nearly* decided to watch the Powerpuff Girls movie instead of Phantom of the Opera, but silly bombast suited my mood better than just plain silly.)

[kijjohnson.livejournal.com]

My bad. I think I started the latest epidemic.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Naaaah. I was starting to see this meme creep in around the edges before you made the "Hey lurkers? Who the heck are you people?" post.

[ladymoira.livejournal.com]

You read my journal?!? Aw, man and here I was strutting around and proud to be a number and something to clutter your friends page with! ;P

BTW: Miss you!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Oh right, you're a number. ;-p

I miss you too! I'm looking forward to whenever your next visit is.

[wormtorturer.livejournal.com]

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

I'm fairly new to LJ and since I get few comments, I do sort of wonder if anyone else I've friended is lurking. Not so much "does anybody like me?" as "is my LJ interesting enough to bother reading?"

Did not mean to be a pest.
