In keeping with the recent theme of using this livejournal as a means fo getting you to entertain me with little to no effort on my own part, I hereby designate today

ANONYMOUS COMMENTS FRIDAY.

Anonymous commenting enabled; I barely know what an IP address is and couldn't log one with a gun to my head. (Please do not test this claim.) Tell me something SCANDALOUS or FABULOUS or RIDICULOUS or just RANDOM. Have at it.

I've recently realised that it is possible to be in love with two people at the same time. Whatever 'in love' means.

[(Anonymous)]

Anonymous comments whoooooooooooooo ZAZ!

Someone has a crush on me and I like them, but not in THAT way. I'm also monogamous and spoken for, and the crush-person is not even my preferred gender (although I am a teensy weensy bit bi-curious). What should I dooooo? Help me, O Friends Of Yiskah!

[(Anonymous)]

I am trying desperately to cultivate a crush on a perfectly sexy, funny, clever, flirtatious guy who appears to find me intriguing, and I CAN'T DO IT. I am BROKEN. What is wrong with me?














(I do actually know what's wrong with me, but it wouldn't be half as ridiculous if I told you.)

[(Anonymous)]

OMG synchronicity! I just posted the comment before yours. CHASTITY is the new scandal!?

The pelican which ate a pigeon in London lately was the secret lovechild of Prince Charles and Lloyd Grossman and shouldn't be blamed; it was simply emulating its parents.

Ooh, that's awkward (unless you're polyamorous, in which case awesome!). What are you going to do about it?

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

I suspect that what's wrong with you is the same as what's wrong with me. I am reliably informed that it will pass in time, and have thus far refrained from grabbing my interlocutor by the throat and bashing their head repeatedly off a hard surface while shrieking "WHEN? WHEN, YOU FUCKER? WHEEEEEEEEEN?"

I've got some secrets that are so sordid that I can't even post them anonymously. If people find out what I've been doing I think they'll lose all respect for me. They should, because I've behaved disgracefully.

It makes me wonder if lots of people are like this. Do we all have things we can't ever share, for fear of revealing our true selves or of hurting those around us?

What's the point of being honest, really, anyway?

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

You definitely qualify on standards of randomness and ridiculous, though not so much on anonymity...

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

If you're not really interested, not to mention monogamous and spoken for, I would suggest doing nothing. It's kinder to the crush person in the long run. DO NOT LEAD THEM ON IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM.

[(Anonymous)]

Nope, alas, not the same reason. A much more trite and soppy reason. I am very disappointed in myself. VERY.

But I am happy to grab any meanie interlocutors of yours by the throat for you any time! I'm not a civil servant, I can engage in all the political activities I like.

[naranek.livejournal.com]

What's the point of spreading libellous untruths if no-one knows it was you?
I'd rather hoped that accusing Prince Charles of eating pigeons alive qualified as scandal. But you're right - I guess it was more or less common knowledge.

[glitzfrau.livejournal.com]

Being honest is a very, very cunning scam. It's the best way of lying I know. That is why.

(sheds cloak of anonymity. See? Looks honest, doesn't it? You'd trust me now!)

[(Anonymous)]

Argh, you know everything already. Tonight I shall have to go home, drink tea and stroke my own hair. WHICH SUCKS.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

Oh PAH. What is with all the soppy people on my f'list? I clearly need to up the bitter quotient.

[chiller.livejournal.com]

What's "respect", really, anyway? If it's that easily lost, I mean.

Proper friends don't turn away that easily.

I'm not polyamorous, so I'm pretty much going to do nothing. I have one partner and I don't want another. The additional (mutual) love in my life inspires me without being too much of a threat.

I think.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

Oh meh, poor you. If it makes you feel any better, tonight I am having dinner with my pregnant supervisor and her partner, and tomorrow I am going to an engagement party. MEH. I am going to have to pack a gigantic thermos of tea and stroke my own hair all the way to Leeds and back.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

Gosh, lucky you. How do the others feel about it? Or don't they know?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh god. :(

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

What's the point of being honest, really, anyway?

Good question. I don't think there is any point, a lot of the time; people often use honesty as an excuse to unburden themselves and hurt others. On the other hand, I absolutely detest being lied to, especially by people I love and respect.

I think a lot of people do carry these secrets around. The only reason I don't is because of my GARGANTUAN GUILT COMPLEX.

[(Anonymous)]

I think I am getting divorced. I'm just getting the will together.

Also, sometimes I feel like my heart will burst with happiness and formless longing. It's all good really.

[(Anonymous)]

I really like and admire you but I can't bring myself to comment in your journal except anonymously because I'm too jealous of your book publishing deal.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! That's a big upheaval; I'm glad you're feeling so positive about it. Good luck!

[chiller.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHA! Ok, this is the best anonymous comment I've ever read.
