Masks of anonymity on and off the network? A propitious start to the month.

I've been here for one year to the day. It seems as if it's been much longer.

I've only been here since July, and it feels like it's been a year.

absinthe_eyed November 6 2009, 05:38:02 UTC

Then I hope you won't be here for a year.

May I ask you a stupid question?

brainsnotfists November 6 2009, 05:40:44 UTC

...

Go ahead, shoot.

absinthe_eyed November 6 2009, 05:43:47 UTC

Are you part cat?

brainsnotfists November 6 2009, 05:47:49 UTC

[*snork*]

Heh. Not really. Because my brother gets all the cool lines, I'll paraphrase one of his: I'm what humans would call a demon.

absinthe_eyed November 6 2009, 05:50:01 UTC

Oh.

[Because of course the City has demons!]

What do you do that's demonic?

brainsnotfists November 6 2009, 06:04:41 UTC

[She probably shouldn't giggle, but she can't help it.]

Should I ask you what you do that's "humanic?" Okay, here goes:

If you're from a Christian, Jewish or even Islamic background, try to align yourself with the notion of demons being generally powerful non-humans who aren't gods, have their own motives and goals, and are generally unpredictable and often inimicable to humans. But not from your or anyone else's version of Hell.

Once you've aligned yourself: I'm a doctor, engineer and mechanic. I tear apart computers for fun and put them back together in better working order than they had been. I'm a pretty good programmer, and I'm a total geek, and I can fix or make just about anything. I'm no where near as powerful as my brothers, but this doesn't bother me because I'm smarter than they are.

absinthe_eyed November 6 2009, 06:11:15 UTC

Sorry. That was an even dumber question than the first.

Doctor, engineer, and mechanic? That's impressive. Intelligence undoubtedly gets you farther than power would.

brainsnotfists November 6 2009, 06:17:47 UTC

It's okay. And they aren't dumb questions. Slightly embarassing for the asker questions maybe, but not dumb.

I'm older than I look, kid. I'm smart, but I also had a lot of time to learn.

absinthe_eyed November 6 2009, 06:24:52 UTC

Dumb enough.

Would it be impolite to ask you how old you are?

brainsnotfists November 6 2009, 06:35:14 UTC

Not really.

It's a little tough to convert exact birthdates, but I was born in the late 1800s. I'm probably about 140 something.

absinthe_eyed November 6 2009, 14:41:22 UTC

You don't look a day over one hundred.

brainsnotfists November 6 2009, 17:14:34 UTC

Heh. Cute. I've heard it before, but the classics never get old.

absinthe_eyed November 6 2009, 18:24:47 UTC

I'm glad it was appreciated. That's the closest I've come to a joke for weeks.

brainsnotfists November 6 2009, 20:00:16 UTC

That's not surprising, given the circumstances.

absinthe_eyed November 6 2009, 20:18:02 UTC

Circumstances? ...The murder, you mean?

Unfortunately, I never have a sense of humor.
