... Wow... Lame.

My morning so far has been a mix of distinctly unpleasant and some what pleasant. I won't share the unpleasant bits of waking up this morning because it really doesn't need to be shared. Just note that it was not fun at all.

That was tempered by looking at the LJ of a friend's friend. Her mother had just died and as unpleasant as my morning had been, that was a little needed perspective for me. That kind of terrifies me, actually. I don't know how I'm going to deal with the death of my grandparents, let alone my parents. Today is a bad day to really think about such things since I'm a hormonal mess.

Then I got a ride to the bus stop with the lovely Kris-lady. Reading is good. I would much rather be at home reading today. I am reading a lovely book that makes me happy. No, I need to be here at work today. I have things to do tomorrow that won't be pleasant and I need to use today to prepare for them. Ah, the joys of manager-ness.

That and there is something about me that is perverse and feels like taunting the universe, asking how bad can it make my day? We shall see. I'm wearing my Batman shirt today. He can protect me.

And while it would satisfy my curiosity to pay the $4 to see who has a crush on me, I think it would ruin something. I like mysteries. Even though they drive me batty.

I'm kind of annoyed about that $4 thing. Why? The whole point of having a secret crush is that it's, y'know, secret. I didn't fill out that form in part because I didn't trust the person in charge of it to keep the information private; now I'm glad that I didn't. If I wanted to let someone know that I did or did not have a crush on them, I'd tell them.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That's part of it too. I mean, if it is a secret, it is a secret. If someone wants to tell me, they can tell me.

I'm just honored.

Then again, it's about what I'd expect for morality from people in the pr0n industry. It's reputation for sketchiness is frequently earned.

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

ARGH "its" not "it's"

[seanb.livejournal.com]

Actually, "it's" was correct - a contraction of "it is". "its" is the possesive form of "it".

The things you relearn living with a grammar nazi...

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

You're right and I was right before I said I was wrong, which was wrong. Weird that I caught an imaginary mistake, especially because I know the rule.

[warpdragon.livejournal.com]

No, you were wrong. It should be "Its reputation for sketchiness..."

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

oh wait.

There was a mistake:

"Then again, it's about what I'd expect for morality from people in the pr0n industry. It's reputation..."

The second one was wrong. *whew*

[warpdragon.livejournal.com]

Jinx!

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

yep, we both responded at 4:22 PM?!?!?!

[warpdragon.livejournal.com]

Apparently we're posting from Reykjavik.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Well, it didn't even seem to really be pr0n. I mean, kind of...

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

I don't remember the details, but I remember the first link to the crush thing didn't seem to be work safe.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Hrm. I didn't see anything that wasn't work safe. I did see links to faux geek pr0n, though.

[wandelrust.livejournal.com]

Oh, I thought it was brilliant. That's exactly the kind of thing people are dying to know, and exactly the sort of thing one shouldn't put on the internet. It made me laugh all day yesterday.

[marzipan-pig.livejournal.com]

they disabled it anyway.

uh, I mean, not like I'd know.

being able to find out who had crushes on other people weirded me out more, like, who would I look up and why, I kind of didn't trust my own motives.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I understand that. I can see not really trusting my own motives there, either.

[marzipan-pig.livejournal.com]

and then what would I do with the information? say "I told you so and so had a crush on you", I mean, how fucked up would that be?

even thinking about it this much is actually a little disturbing, I'm glad I found out they stopped doing it:

Also, the guilt finally got to us and we've taken down the meme. Sorry to disappoint you.

[grymor.livejournal.com]

Hah! No crushes on ME! Nothing for me to get weirded out about, and I didn't list any secret crushes *evil cackle*.

Though, I must admit, if I had a secret crush I would be tempted (though I doubt I'd do it) to buy the information on the person I had a crush on to see who the 'competition' was, but that isn't even all that usefull (beyond curiosity and spite) as it doesn't tell you who they are interested in (aka, the real competition) and may bother them enough to dash any chances you may or may not have had. I mean, if the person running it is willing to sell the info on who had a secret crush, what's to say he isn't willing to sell the info on who purchased the other info?

Am I being too analytical again? Well, no matter.

[wandelrust.livejournal.com]

Actually, you can still get to the page where you actually purchased the list with the direct URL. I have no idea if it's an automatic system, though, so it may not work.

[wandelrust.livejournal.com]

You could always ask who listed you as a crush. Though I doubt I'd remember with 100% accuracy.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I could but I doubt I'd get answers. That and if anyone wants to tell me, they can just tell me.

[wandelrust.livejournal.com]

You might be surprised. But then again, you might not be. I think it has a lot to do with the individual's definition of a crush.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Very possible. I have a very few crushes and I've had them so long, I'm pretty sure they're very obvious to the people I have them for.

Becuase You're having ickiness.....
