So last night, my roommate and I went to Macaroni Grill for dinner, mostly to celebrate the fact that I actually have money to spend on such frivolous things. We spent the night brainstorming for her fic (and made a major breakthrough, I might add), and when we were waiting for the waiter to box up our leftovers, we started writing on the table.
Now, Macaroni Grill, for those who don’t know, puts down a piece of butcher paper on each table, with a couple of crayons. The waiter writes his name on your table, and you spend the night resisting the urge to doodle. When we finally gave in, we started writing stuff like “Ron Weasley loves Hermione Granger” and “Harry + Ginny” and “Go Gryffindor!” and “Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus” and “Snape is a greasy slimeball” and “Twitchy little ferret, aren’t you Malfoy?”
Oh, no. We’re not obsessed. Not at all.
In other news, I may be getting a Live Journal. My only reason for doing so is that I now comment on so many *other* people’s LJ’s that I’m getting heartily sick of being “anonymous.” Other than that, I don’t know what I’m going to do with the thing, since I really like my blog better. It would be stupid to split up my entries, and even stupider to double post them. So I really have no idea what content, if any, will get posted there. Maybe I’ll use it exclusively for online quizzes and Friday Fives, and use this for more important things.
I always said I would never sell out as far as LJ’s are concerned, but. . .*sigh* It was inevitable, I suppose.

Just put a link to your blog — or make every entry twice. Just a quick copy and paste and voila… all your brilliance will show up on our Friends List pages!
Angua, always full of advice

And the waiter said what?

*Hangs head because we lost another to the dark side*

NOOOO!!! Don’t sell out! Am I to be the last anti-LJ person standing? The horror, the horror!

Elizabeth: We don’t know, because we left before he noticed it. I don’t know if anyone will notice, but it was great fun.
Leslie: I’m not *really* going over to the dark side. Just setting a toe in. It’s kinda like me being hooked on Rising From the Ashes. That fic is sick and wrong (it’s Draco/Ginny *shudders*), and yet I CAN’T STOP READING IT. Though I’ll probably have to after schooldays ends, ’cause apparently it’s going to get too racy for me before long. Anyway, my heart will always belong to blogs. I may have an LJ, but I won’t like it.
Teri: Don’t worry. I’ll probably do what Angua suggested. So you don’t even have to LOOK at the thing, because it’ll be the exact same as what I post here.
I’m doing it just for commenting’s sake.
Of course, I don’t have a code yet, so this point is pretty much moot until I get one. I’m not about to PAY for the silly thing. Not being anonymous isn’t worth the $5 for two months. Nope, not at all. I’d rather buy candy.

Anti LJ? Heavens I’m not even sure what one is?

echo Teri.
And don’t believe all the anti-LJ people are those who can’t get a code – many are just people who enjoy antagonism.

Hey, just look at it like this: I can now corrupt from the *inside*.
