Anonymemes

[jack]

Gacked from foreverdirt:

Leave me an anonymous comment pouring your heart out. Say anything. tell me your stories, your secrets, those things no one ever asks but you wish to tell. Tell me about your love, your hate, your indifference, your joy. tell me about what's inside of you when you're reading through these entries on your friends list, and tell me why you continue to come back here. tell me anything.

Post anonymously. Speak honestly, because there isn't any censure here. Post as many times as you like. one faceless wonder to another.

And then, if you like, pass it on.

IP loggin' off (I think, am I right?) and anonymous comment screening off. Hand on my heart.

Update: Anonymous posters who become involved in conversations should (but don't have to) adopt successive ordinal numbers so we can tell them apart :)

I'm almost tempted...

Sonic?

I abuse children sexually...

AJ?

[captain-aj.livejournal.com]

When I first saw that comment, that's what I thought as well!
But no, wasn't me.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's funny when that happens. There should be a word for it.

Does spanking eni count?

[(Anonymous)]

if you click on the comments, and then on 'post a new comment', then it doesn't allow you the anonymous option. but if you click on the 'comment on this' button from the post, it does.

strange.

anyway, if you're going to guess, then it's not going to be anonymous, now is it. unless you guess wrong.

you know when you talk about churches, people say "high church", and "low church", can you talk about the "height" of a church? what word would you use?

the time of posting is going to narrow your guessing options here.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not going to guess for anything that looks private. But most of these I can't resist :)

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Actually, the time doesn't seem to help. I thought I recognised the capitalisation, but now I'm not sure :)

"Highness"? "Lowness"? "Catholisnesss"? "Latinateness"? I don't know, where's that reverse dictionary?

My gods, but I hate the sort of over-sensitised crap that is people trying to make pretentious memes on Livejournal just because they like the sound of their over-hyped little voices. Oh well, at least they never last.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Is *THIS* AJ? :)

[mair_in_grenderich]

surely AJ is asleep at 08:32? or is livejournal in another timezone to me again? the only person I know who says "gods" (in that sense)is jennie...

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I'm not sure; for instance this comment was marked 10:33, so it's not *perfect*, and I haven't quite got used to how accurate it *is*.

I'm probably wrong, AJ just struck me as the type who would, if necessary, write a script to automatically submit a comment at this time, just for the opportunity to call most lj users over-sensitised and pretentious :)

[(Anonymous)]

No. :o)

[(Anonymous)]

Nope, not naath.

Snake! It's a snake! Ooooh, it's a snake.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Well, it could be anyone then; *everyone*, with the possible exception of dad, goes 'badger badger badger badger' from time to time :)

[(Anonymous)]

I continue to come back because the posts continue to interest me. The footnotes are also a factor.

There's more hate than love, so that's all I'll say.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Eek! Well, thanks. Interesting is good. I guess I know, but I won't say. And sorry.

[(Anonymous)]

[different person, similar subject]
I come back because the posts are interesting, oh, and because you're a friend (-:
Hate and love? There's much more love than hate in me. But it worries me that there's any hate at all ... should I feel bad for starting to hate somebody who repeatedly let me down and ultimately betrayed my trust, but is so self absorbed they have no clue? Probably doesn't even know how much I dislike them. But this is easier for me than crying over lost friendship.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Now I'm completely lost. I can think of two or three people who would hate me, probably with cause; but only one I would think would still be interested in me enough to speak of hate and love, who's also the person I hurt the most.

For what it's worth, that's one of my greatest regrets, and I wish I could have in any way not done or repared that hurt, and I wish I was as mature then as I am now (or preferably more so), but that can never be, I'm sorry. I think I emailed you, but the address may have gone astray; please email me if you want to.

[(Anonymous)]

No no no! Not you, silly (=
I was just taking the opportunity to pour my heart out about somebody else. Why would I dislike you?

[(Anonymous)]

(followup; no, I'm not the original poster, but looks like we're active on LJ at the same time, and thinking the same thing)

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Oops, again. See post below! Sorry, I misunderstood the first post and when you agreed with it I didn't think to question. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Much embarassment at thinking anyone would say that about me :)

OK, *now* I know who you are (I think). I don't know how much "somebody" knows. All I can say is that though I wish otherwise, some friendships have to be let go, at least temporarily, and wish you strength in overcoming the whole thing. Hate is entirely natural, but not helpful, so I don't think you need feel bad about that per se, but I wish you luck putting it behind you. I wish I knew how to do that.

[(Anonymous)]

I think there's more love than hate in me too, the hate is just what would come out if I started talking about either, because it's what bothers me. In contradiction to this though, I'm not sure that I believe hate really exists.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. Except I think that at people I've only ever had very ephemeral hate because I've been so fortunate to never have suffered anything bad enough to cause more.

But even a bit can colour you if you think about it, and you sometimes need an anonymous outlet.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Judging from the other post I was mistaken. I didn't think there would be two people who would both hate me and care enough to tell me so; though I can guess who you are, I'm not sure. Please email me if you want (you can look me up on cantab.net).

It is supremely depressing there are so many people with cause to hate me; it's fewer than Genghis Khan, but it still appears my life has been destructive, I only wish I could make amends.

[(Anonymous)]

[original poster]
The hate wasn't directed at you in any way! I (possibly misreading) took the "Tell me about your love, your hate" part as being about any love or hate, not anything related to the journal owner. My mistake if it was meant to be. I've only got your livejournal to base it on, but I'm sure you're a lovely non-destructive person, and you certainly haven't given me any reason to hate you :)

Sorry, I hadn't gotten round to replying saying that you almost certainly didn't guess right, which might have cleared things up a little.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Oops, sorry! That was very embarassing, but now ultimately relieving.

I don't think you misunderstood. But I assumed you were talking about me in the first para because you said about footnotes, and then assumed you were still talking about me in the second. Um, sorry. And I hope you're content with your mix of hate and love *hugs*

Now I feel really stupid and arrogant for assuming anyone *might* have been talking about me!

[(Anonymous)]

[entirely different poster to the rest of this subthread]

There are certainly people who don't hate you in any way at all, including the others in this subthread by the looks of it. Oh, slightly misworded memes, we *heart* you.

I'm not sure I actually hate anyone. Sure, people in the world annoy me from time to time, occasionally to the extent that I think it better to ignore them for a while[1] than spend time with them, but never outright hate...

Not even my little brother, no. Not hate. He's just a smeghead.

[1] and then un-ignore them, and realise why i ignored them in the first place, usually..

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you.

LOL. Some people. eg. smegheads, or people who think you're a smeghead, can require almost permanent ignoring, but I always hope that we can be civil about it :) Though I'm not always. But absense of hate is always good. Not that I claim to be in any way virtuous for that, just lucky.

FIRST POST!1!11!!!!!1

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Someone being sarcastic, but I can't tell if it really is your first post :)

Not mum or sonic, they have posted a little. Too l33t for Tim or Justin or Jane, even in jest. Hmmm. :)

[(Anonymous)]

hello AJ.

[captain-aj.livejournal.com]

Bastard ;-)

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

LOL.

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry but it was rather unmistakeable. Tee hee.

[captain-aj.livejournal.com]

G'wan, own up ... who are you?

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

I think they're all you :)

[captain-aj.livejournal.com]

Nah. Was wondering why you thought that, then I realised the close timing ... I've been spinning on this page while bored at work today, plus I get e-mail notification of replies :). I can only imagine that the other person is similarly bored.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Well, a bit, but mainly because many of them looked like someone parodying the style of a stupid person, and you're the person I know who does that most. After a while, it just became funny :)

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm procrastinating a lot. I've promised myself Halo as a reward for writing my RP. But I haven't written the RP yet. D'oh.

Surely it's clear now..
