as far from God as angels can fly

Adam once wrote that when people asked him what he thinks "art" is, he often thought of me dyeing rain-puddles or doing other sideways projects. For some reason, I thought of him when I conceived of

Adam was writing? Angels are far from God for a reason. They are dead humans with wings. Maybe that would not be God. I really don't know art, but I used to work in the 'third word.'

Craiglist is an achievemnt. I think the use the Peace thing on their stuff.

PCVs are REAL LONELY and usually don't thay way.

Nice! I got linked! :) That NPC short story is awesome, by the way--thanks for posting it.

[dragonladyflame]

Yeah, I was pretty impressed with it. And that's my favourite XKCD, too!

P.S. see above comment for some delicious irony.

Huh. That's an interesting interpretation. I mean ... I wasn't going to aim for trying to make this person fall in love, I just wanted to see if it was inevitable in this kind of circumstance. Plus, isn't there as much emotional "risk" to me? I'm not looking just to see if he falls in love, I want to see if we fall in love. I wasn't thinking of this as a "using" type project at all.

I think the key here is that the project is based on deception. You know what you're potentially getting involved in. The poor guy on the other end has no opportunity to make that choice, or to give any kind of informed consent. It's the difference between making a parachute jump and throwing someone out of a plane with a chute strapped to them.

Hah! I had seen the NPC story, but never finished it, and had been meaning to look it up again. I'm glad you posted it so I got a chance to finish!
