A low obligation meme

[alias_sqbr]

Recently there have been a spate of "Reply to this post and I'll tell you 3 things I love about you, then post in your lj" posts, which I haven't replied to since neither part of it appeals to me (consumed as I am with hate and bile. No offense intended to those of you who aren't :)) On the whole I find those "reply to this" posts a bit scary,

Why is alias_sqbr so annoyingly meta- about things like this?

[alias_sqbr]

Hey, we can't all be big irrational softies like you.

But I blame my genes. Being unemotional, annoying, and overly analytical run as deeply in my family as being short, dumpy and brown-haired.

And way to give the next person a hard time answering the question without implicitly insulting me (of course, they may see this as a plus...)

*resists urge to reply with "Why is ataxi such a big meanie?" because I am above that sort of thing unlike some people*

Are you related to Woody Allen by any chance?

*ducks*

Still, it would've mean nice to see you play this meme with a straight bat!

Well, my family is partly jewish..but no :)

Yes, well, it would also be nice to be taller. Sorry that sounds flip but, yeah. If I was to create a custom filter for that meme the only people on it would be the sorts of people I'm comfortable hugging, which is like 5% of my friendslist. And then I'd feel bad for excluding the other 95%...

I think it's part and parcel of the intellectual rigour that let her become A DOCTOR.

I would have said that, but am far too humble :D
