LiveJournal as the magic 8-ball

Dear friends list:

1. I have a slight stomach ache, probably due to eating two three-course meals yesterday. I have a driving lesson in about half an hour, and my Christmas shopping isn't quite as finished as I thought it was. I may have the beginnings of a cold, although this is so far inconclusive. I am also feeling kind of ... fat. And my bedroom needs cleaning. Bearing all this in mind, and the fact that I don't really feel like it, should I go out dancing tonight?

2. Do you think I should try salsa dancing in January? I'm not sure it's really me, but my mother once told me I should say yes to everything, and think about it later.

I think I should fast today. Perhaps consume nothing but hot water with lemon.

I was feeling a bit sad about not being involved in [livejournal.com profile] yuletide this year. But as deadline loomed and my friends list grew more hysterical, I realised: hey - I get to read all the stories and not have to tear any of my hair out!

The radio is on and I can't hear what I'm typing in my head, so if it doesn't make sense, that's why.

there are wodges of fat on my shoulderblades

How horrifying!

and hey, if you want a fic challenge, we could always just, um, challenge each other, like. a tiny friendly duel of miniature motivation.

Oh, what a good idea! That way, we won't be subjected to the ritual humiliation when we fail, but we still get that fic-posting glow if we don't. Fabulous! How should it work?

just call me 'fatty-shoulderblades'.

hey, you up for a challenge? because i've just realised that i have two major piece of writing to do for work, a speech to write and ten columns to prepare, and so i definitely need something ficcish to keep me from doing any of these.

um, how would it work? how about if i say: i challenge you, o duck, to write me something that you will like to do!

or should we be more, like, tyrannical about it? WRITE ME PORN, LACKEY!

except it doesn't have to be porny. *looks embarrassed*

How about "i challenge you, o duck, to WRITE ME PORN, except it doesn't have to be porny, that you will like to do! LACKEY!"

Kind of a mixture. A bit unweildy, perhaps. but it'll be fun!
