I can't believe I ate it all...

[darcydodo]

Oops, no. That was supposed to be, "I can't believe I actually did this..."

I'm here. It's scary. It's mostly the fault of girlwithjournal and leech, who both swore blue that I really really wanted a livejournal and really really didn't want to do my work. And now I can write my own stupid remarks and get other people to laugh at them... (Or however it's supposed to work. Anyway.)

Right, I'll stop rambling now and put up this entry, and then maybe I can distract myself by putting up more entries.

...and really really didn't want to do my work.

I seem to recall you being pretty adamant on that point with no urging from me.

[darcydodo]

Err yes well. I think what I said was that I already didn't do my work and really didn't need yet another distraction to help me in this venture. ;)

But what you meant was, "Please, help me find another distraction!" It was a cry for help. How could we not heed it?

Yay! Your first entry!

Welcome to the hell that is Livejournal...

[darcydodo]

And cool things, like discovering ONE WHOLE PERSON from Corpus (my college at Oxford) who's on lj! More to the point, someone I know. Not well, but... it's the feeling that counts.

For a second I thought you were talking about the smut-writing...

[chele74.livejournal.com]

but then I thought, no, must be the idea of the web journal. As if there aren't enough things to keep you from doing whatever the hell it is that we're supposed to be doing. Rebecca and I managed to successfully not discuss anything class related today. Why? Well, not having done the readings had a lot to do with it. Maybe.

Just remember - an opportunity for introspection and narcissism.

I bow to you indeed. And I'm just sorry I didn't get to meet you over spring break, but one day, I'm sure.

displacement is baaaaaad

Ugh, this livejournal thing is really evil, isn't it? As it is I've spent far too much time reading your entries and commenting on them, when I should be asleep. Not to mention that I have a service and a shiur to prepare for tomorrow.

As long as I can resist the temptation to get my own account, maybe I'll get by...

Oh, and if you want serious displacement, try this (http://www.quizilla.com). Taking the quizzes is cool (though about 90% of them are rubbish by illiterate teenagers), but writing your own quizzes... Oy!

[darcydodo]

Well, half the quizzes I've put stuff up from are Quizilla thingummies. I don't want to try writing my own quizzes, I wouldn't have the faintest clue what to make them about, what to put in them, etc. But now I get to sit and wait to see how long it takes you to succumb to the knowledge that there is one code dangling there before your eyes...

Anyway, when are you going to read the stories?

I've read the stories. So has J. She says "gosh, this stuff is rude!!!!" and "gosh, Darcy does good things to words".

My comments are probably not going in a public forum, I think I'm not that shameless.
