Writing like Terry Pratchett is always surprisingly hard when I try to do it intentionally; I'm better at accidentally channelling Neil Gaiman. :P (On that note, can you remember which Discworlds other than Night Watch and Going Postal and The Truth say a lot about the nature of Ankh-Morpork as a modern city?)

Am pretty sure there are many references I am just not getting, but in short, I think you need to de-stress before you explode. Or something having to do with ... cucumbers? :D ♥
Indeedly. Self-taken photos are always so strangely angled, though... :p
Um. Memetic warfare was probably a riff involving Banks' Culture and Richard Dawkins, and the other ones are all Pratchett. Hex. You have read the Discworld stuff, right?
(Also, I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I love your icon. It is wonderful.)

To find this - especially at the time when I'm on a Prachett high anyway from watching episode 2 of Hogfather again with Vicky today - is love-worthy.
