Excellent. We're well on our way to realizing our dream of teaching the art and way of life of Internets.

Shall we have brunch and tea?

[amphigory.livejournal.com]

That sounds lovely. Afterwords, we can retire to the courtyard and play croquet, albeit one below zero degrees. A little cold never hurt anybody.

[protectedstock.livejournal.com]

But of course. A chilly game is better than no game at all.

Then we go to (insert local dining establishment)! Oh yeah!

[amphigory.livejournal.com]

Why yes, yes it is.

Of course! Then we shall have an afternoon drive and take in the wonderful vistas of grass, snow, and sky!

[protectedstock.livejournal.com]

Oh this is wonderful.


Maria, you are quite the person.

[amphigory.livejournal.com]

Quite. In fact, it's bordering on fantastic.

Thank you kindly, Nate. You aren't so bad yourself.

[protectedstock.livejournal.com]

So you do realize that we are both each a person, and that this is amazing.


I mean, we're talking over the INTERNET.

[amphigory.livejournal.com]

I had taken that into consideration that you are a person and I am a person and we are typing words to each other that contain no emotion but what can be deduced from the context.

It is quite astonishing.

[protectedstock.livejournal.com]

It really is.


The idea of two people who are connected by no way whatsoever, randomly meeting (if one could call it that) via the Intertubes, it is quite amazing.

[amphigory.livejournal.com]

What are the odds? Quite low, I'd imagine.

Anyhow . . . what shall we speak of now? Pickles? Quadratic equations? The air speed velocity of African swallows?

[protectedstock.livejournal.com]

11 m/sec or 24 mph assuming the swallow is unencumbered.


OH SHI-

Anyway, I'm quite boring. Tell me more about yourself....

[amphigory.livejournal.com]

Nice, nice. :)

Well, if you must know something, then I suppose I'll tell. Though I warn you, I am quite dull myself. Prepare for mini-rant.

Let's see. I'm 19. I go to college and I'm majoring in Microbiology. I would rather major in something along the lines of literature, history, geography, geology, uh, art? Science is rather cold and depressing. Even mathematics would be cool. Alas, it seems that science holds the future (or so my parents believe) (what do they know??). If I could do anything, I'd be a photographer and take pictures of the world.

I like to write. Once, when I was 15, I wrote a book. It was silly and adolescent, but a book nonetheless. I also like to draw and take pictures.

I like watching sports, but only if there are a lot of people interested in watching it with me, that way, there can be competition. Or cheering.

I am competitive, stubborn, and idealistic. I like to get things done by myself, and I don't like asking for help.

I like mountains and oceans and wide open spaces. I like the outdoors and indoors. I like roller coasters and vacations and road trips. I like to travel.

Uh . . . I lived in Greece for one year. I can speak the language. I travel there once in a while. My dad's Greek, but my mom's from America.

Asleep yet?

I like movies about wars and science fiction and adventure. I like The Matrix, The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, V for Vendetta, and Pirates of the Caribbean. And Shaun of the Dead, because it's hilarious. (ok, there's a lot more, but who wants to read a list?)

Most of all, I like to read. I wish I had my own library. I read everything.



End of rant. Ok, that was kind of long. I hope you're not overwelmed by the dullness. Just think happy thoughts to get yourself through it.

Your turn.

[protectedstock.livejournal.com]

Stubborn, at times comically sadistic.

I always have a connection, or know somebody to get a job done.

Wide mix of social groups, able to blend in with different people.

I can charm you out of a 7 dollar tip by just bringing you your check.

Dislikes large social gatherings.

Slightly bi-polar, but hey, no one's perfect.

Lockpicking is one of my hobbies. As are phones and lulz.

Will often say something just to anger someone, then accuse them of making "racist comments". Loevs drama and lulz. Loevs making references to Internets IRL, finds the line that keeps the two seperate is funniest at its blurriest. (If you can figure out that sentence, you're awesome and I'd liek to marry you kthx)

Enjoys psuedo-flirting with girls via Internets through witty sayings and self realizing stories.

Finds racism hilarious.

Mother is dead to me. No longer keep contact with her.

Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm still alive anymore. I think I need reminders to keep me planted in reality, but I never stay there for long.

High school dropout and GED holder. Aren't I rebelling against society's preset standards and ideals nicely?

Several years ago I kept an agonizingly detailed list of radio talk shows, then I would call into them and try and get on the air, usually to cause drama or take away control from the host by disarming them with accusatory statements. I would keep logs with information on what number I used to call in, what I said, what area I was from, and the type of voice I used. I never repeated the same scam twice and was able to get onto Bill O'Reilly's program several times.

Has made multiple national media appearences.

Used to be very political, but decided we're all fucked no matter what.

Distrusts vegetarians (sorry if you're a vegetarian, no disrespect meant. Plz don't ban me from ur journal kthnx)

Enjoys the company of a quality book, or better yet, a head full of ideas.

I'm able to sit and think for hours on end. I perfected this trick when I was around 7 years old. I would sit and think until I got to the state where an idea blossoms out into another. I am able to literally do this for hours and go into a trance like state.

Trusts internet friends more then IRL friends.


Maria, you seem like a fine, upstanding person. Why on god's green earth do you frequent Encyclopædia Dramatica (and by proxy, /b/)?

[amphigory.livejournal.com]

What a rebel. I think I'm rebel, but you know, I'm kind of a cheat.

The radio thing is shockingly brilliant. In fact, it borders on genius.

I might have figured out that sentence.

Why, you ask? Haven't you heard? I'm crazy.

[protectedstock.livejournal.com]

I have fallen in love with your words, madame.

[amphigory.livejournal.com]

I exist to make your eyes weep with enamor, good sir.

[protectedstock.livejournal.com]

Your existence proves fruitful. ma'am.

[amphigory.livejournal.com]

You have given me reason to live.

[protectedstock.livejournal.com]

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."


Such is life as I await your eloquent replies.

[protectedstock.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I think I can make sense of the world.

Then I come on here to leave a witty comment.

And I realize I am but a fool.

For I can only fool myself.

[amphigory.livejournal.com]

The world has never made sense, to me. Never, never ever.

Maybe that's what life is, fooling ourselves into thinking we know what we're doing?

[protectedstock.livejournal.com]

I think you might be on to something there.



Is South Dakota real?

[amphigory.livejournal.com]

I suppose it would depend on your definition of real.

[protectedstock.livejournal.com]

I suck at replying.

I'm sorry. :(
