Subject lines are too difficult, just count. Make it exciting, count in a language other than English and if you have to, hell, go to freetranslation.com and make yourself look smarter in the foreign sense. Then again, if you're already foreign and know what you're saying, kudos to you, keep at it. The best subject lines are the ones that have ( Read more... )

I don't understand the point of counting. I mean, LJ keeps track for you, and what do you title the entries that you make private or filtered? And does anyone really care what number it is except you? Why not leave it blank. I think lyrics make good subject lines. If I had to do it over again I'd use lyrics instead of sometimes random, three word descriptions that I use now. But I'm somewhat anal retentive possibly OCDish about it and when I start something I have to see it through. I like the edges to be crisp and clean but everything in the middle can be a mess. Like pizza.

Do you put celery stalks in your Bloody Mary's? Once I ordered a Bloody Virgin.

You know, you make a very good point. However, I figure if somebody just doesn't have a clue what the subject should read/say, their best bet is the number system. Private entries, I suppose, will probably be followed with a 1/2. As for if anybody actually cares about what number it is besides myself, you've won this round.

I've tried that once, but mostly I prefer green olives.

That is one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs.

And AproposAlexis, since I'm shy and probably wouldn't say hi first.

It's probably on my top ten list of favorite songs.

Well, here's to hoping that you might. If not, then I'll take the first move given I sign on for once.

Creepy is good, though. It's much better than messed up.

That it is. I find the world actually likes creeps more than normal people. Then again, what exactly is normal.

If I was going to count in subject lines, I'd do something like Greek. Because Greek impresses.

I usually wait until later to drink just because. I have a fairly strict daily routine and I can't be smashed to perform most of it, like the operating heavy equipment part. Which doesn't exist, but hey.

Ah, Greek. Well I don't speak that and I'm sure freetranslation.com would see me visiting everyday.

Later is fine, if you enjoy the sleeping all day part. Which probably isn't a problem since nothing exciting seems to happen during the day anyway. I say one of these days you destroy the daily routine just for the hell of it.

I always use a line from whatever song I'm listening to for my subject line.

That's a good idea.

Hope to talk to you sometime.
