TDG CEM Day 2

[greygirlbeast]

Both my feet feel like blocks of wood this morning. Since I began taking Gabapentin, and the neurological problems in my feet began to improve, this doesn't happen so often. Only sometimes. Regardless, it's a very unpleasant sensation (or lack thereof), and can make walking tricky (which is why I used a stick for so long

Hello wookie icon. STET your ass off, wookie!

Have you seen the Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger? I don't recall, if'n I ever knew. Anyway, in case you haven't, here;

Every time you quote me it makes me want to make better words. I think that's a good thing.

[greygirlbeast]

Yes. I have seen the Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger video, though, I will note, I declared the honey badger my spirit animal BEFORE I saw said video.

This is a good thing.

*Wookiee, even.

Of such moments is derp made.

[greygirlbeast]

What the dog is "derp"?

I found the name in a Rhode Island or Massachusetts cemetery, where I often find names.

The Saltonstalls were a prominent Boston family; I remember discovering Leverett Saltonstall in 2007 and, seeing that he was succeeded as Governor of Massachusetts by Maurice J. Tobin of the Tobin Bridge, tried briefly to persuade fleurdelis28 that we should be writing letters to our current governor to petition for a Saltonstall Bridge, because it would sound awesome. I still maintain this.

Wow. I never knew any of that. Spooky said, just now, "Check Wikipedia; it's all right here."

I chose it because a) it echoed the sea, and b) it references the Salton Sea, which fascinates me.

It works very well. The original place-name is supposed to have to do with willows.

(I did assume it had been chosen partly to interface with New England history. Now I'm curious who else will or will not get that idea.)

"Smaller minds and shallower waters, that's the bit I like."

i don't like this, given it sounds incredibly arrogant.

[greygirlbeast]

Arrogance is not a bad thing when it points us towards truth. And, then again, stating the truth often sounds like arrogance, though it may only be a stating of the truth.

[ext_792389]

but that is almost entirely not what the original poster said. she/he said "small minds leave" and LJ is all the better for it.

that sounds arrogant to me. i, too, concour, that is not a bad thing per se because it has it's valid places, which definition includes your answer, aswell.

however i do not think that this should be a greater point. it's not about LJ or not LJ, it's about the arguments.

my point crumbles, i feel, i was not trying to start an argument. i simply wanted to add something.

[greygirlbeast]

Thing is, perhaps, I have no problem with being thought arrogant, as I am, and perhaps she also has no such problem (though I can speak for no one in this instance but myself).

I really love the Wookiee icon. I can easily picture you pulling the arms of a copy-editor's sockets.

You can have one of my sugar-free Red Bulls.

I stole it from Elizabeth Bear.

Geppettos disease... (rapidly making this up mind you) where a real person is turned into a puppet. Which isnt as amusing as Hensons disease, where you get turned into a cute Muppet.

*Geppetto's disease*

I like that... Very Ligotti.

[martianmooncrab]

I worked in a medical Library for a bit, and the names of diseases and syndromes fascinated me.

It does sound Ligottian!
