About the Matter of Today

Dear Lee Jordan,

Igor is pissing me off. For real. How can a laptop be so unbelievably slow? Add to it, the disposition of his keys are all wrong. No, I no mean because it's in whatever-language and it should be in Hungarian because I have already made the changes for that, but because it has misplaced all the keys that don't have a fix place on a mechanical typer. I mean, the line with the numbers start with the "1", and the key that usually has the upper o or upper a or the backslash... (backslash... oh yeah, babe!!!) is somewhere down. Well, flashnews, Hungarian keyboards have the 0 there. (We Hungarians are LOGICAL people, the 0 is before the 1... not after the 9.) So, the numbaz are all over the place. Add to it, that all the other vital keys are also in the limbo.

However today we have not gathered to talk about Igor, though we can always pop up a nice story with some Igor somewhere. For instance more people could make the effort of reading "L'Empire des Anges" and the help me out here with some nice fiction of Igor...


# I know you all gonna say: "You are SMOKING WEED BUNNY", but this dude at the office... well, I asked him if he has a blog because he's such a character he sure as hell has to have one. Perhaps in bunistic terms, he's the Latino version of Count Eyebrows save the gorgeous Malachit green eyes... or the life threatening "Devil Snare" eyebrows. So, given the same personality, he was bound to have a record of his days somewhere, right? So I wanted to delve into his words, see what can I pick up. (Save the sarcasm. I happen to be a social scientist with a deep call for the study of mankind. Damned, that doesn't look well after my last post and the part of my weridest food, right??)

Anyway, he doesn't have one, and asked me for mine. I was poundering about it, poundering about it and at the end, after much consideration (the freak factor), I typed it down to him. He can't reach it. Whatever eh's typing, the Websense is blocking it down for him. Well, I do was rated NC-17... Oh, he found me. Oh well...

So, the thing is that I told him to google me. While he was either doing so or not, I yahoo-ed myself, and guess what? I was on some pages listed as a "Lucius Fic Writer", for my TWO ONLY posted fics of Lucius: The one ... oi... they missed one. Well, they had Auror Hardships, which is a FL/LM and then Hate, the infamous AW/LM. It was missing Auror Brutality, wich depicts a very interesting KS/AW/LM... and a great way to pump information out of an uncooperating party. I guess you should google and yahoo up yourself every once in a while, only to make sure what's circulating out there, don't you think? for instance, for some wicked reason, when you yahoo me, right after the link of my lj, you find me in sophia_fahela's lj. Really. Just try it out!!!

Google lists my link and then lists me under june_glasschild... and followed by Viktor Krum related stuff... starting with a link to that fic... « В Темноте » (In The Darkness) VK/CD... and then the wanking dare for mia_chan.

Now, if you google shota_hunter you pop up in hp_oneshot and sexiest_weasley. dankenzon appears in Sensei's Library. june_glasschild has a whole page all with links of her blogs, myspace... and Smashing Pumpkins. mia_chan is all over the place... in German. Is this a sign or something???


We don't realize it, or perhaps we chose not to realize it, but we are more present out there than we would believe so. Okay, we are a great mass of individuality, where each colorful spot, like a millefiori bead, adds to make the big picture look ever more homogenic and ever more gray. There's so much out there of us, so much we have put out there, one way or the other, and truth is that it's there for people to find it. The question that remains is, whom will those finders see when they tumble across the fragments of our minds?? I mean, please do the excercise and try to guess your own image, the image of your friends starting from what google or yahoo or altavizsla finds. How strange and alien is the one they find, right? For the internet, lockythebunny is, without any trace of doubt, an HP NC-17 slash writer listed among the seediest writers. Is that who she is??? Oh, and please notice the acceting of Viktor and Lucius. Those two define me according to our global metaseachers. And here I thought I have advertized Gilderoy Lockhart to absolute madness.

... Okay, this is bad. Just made a search for fanfiction of Gilderoy Lockhart, and the searchers lead me to my own fics. It's offcial: I'm alone in this. (Save for poor shota_hunter whom I've been chaining to hsi worship... Yes, I ought to concentrate more on what I'm typing.

You know, I was browsing the news today, among doing other fabulous things such as putting on the line a trip to Bulgaria (still have to check a couple of things. So far I'm 50-50 on either I go to Sofia or rather turn somewhere else, like Venice or Florence or... Praha...), I found another alarming news. Sprint-Nextel has decided to cut out those of their clients who "call the Customer Service too much". Reason? "Obviously we can't satisfy them so they better go with someone else."

...

Okay, you CAN'T solve the problems of your clients so you kick them in the ass?? What kind of attitude is that? Churning is eating into the industry like cancer, every operator is seaking for ways to make sure their clients stay loyal to them, to the point of pretty much making them sign contracts that stand short from a prenup... and Sprint-Nextel, which has made a STUPID move with the merger, which has discovered that their Nextel inherited platform is CRAP, which has been presenting more losses than anything... now wants to get rid of the "bitching clients". Geez, high profile management!!! Way to go, Girl!!!

So, the blogs fit to us, they offer us a world we can call as we wish for our pennies, the world opens to us invite us to individualize ourselves more because they'll tailor themselves to our shape... and then a big company (Okay, is not T-Mobile or Verizon or Cingular) comes and decides that "they will sell the car of the color the client wants it as long as the client wants a black car"?? Wakie-wakie, Mr. Ford!!!! Wake up and smell the coffee before you find yourself ripped to pieces!!!

Children, please take a good look at Sprint-Nextel: this is what a company should never do.

Love to All,

Locky The Bunny
