low, flying planes
Oct. 31st, 2008 02:58 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
sigersonI'm in the airport on my way to the AAR, with a few hours to kill before my flight to Chicago. It's a beautiful day, and the planes are taking off right in front of my window. I'm not quite yet ready, I think, to be saturated with nollij, but I'll be there by the first session tomorrow.
For a few reasons that don't bear explaining on Livejournal, I am pretty low. Therefore, I am making a blatant plea for internet sympathy and combining it with a distraction technique.
So here's my offer.
If you comment, I will reply to your comment with one of three things:
--a costume item that suits you
--a happy memory of you
--a haiku based on a topic you suggest.
Of course, replies may be delayed till I can find some available Chicago webbernets, but I promise a reply to all of them.
And now, I'm going to eat my damn Butterfinger.

We have seen the Best
Of cheese, lying gently at its
ease, smelling like feet
wait, it didn't include that line...

All over my shirt
Long-distance sympathy from a local area code...
Date: 2008-10-31 07:12 pm (UTC)Here's a distraction I can offer: while you are flying, take the time to enjoy the clouds. They're freakin' _beautiful_ from the air.

Billowing swells and mist plains
Who would not walk there?

Date: 2008-10-31 07:26 pm (UTC)Hats are funny!
An elaborate jeweled turban, with a gem in the center like a hen's egg. Big swathes of gold and crimson silk, wrapped so much it looks like it's trying to eat your head.

I think they need to have a design embroidered so subtly into the back that you can only tell it's there when the light slants just right. I think they need to have a tiny cutaway pattern in the palm of your hand.

A little unoriginal but it works, haikuwise.

no subject
Date: 2008-11-01 04:53 am (UTC)And I have a cat at the foot of my futon who's assiduously licking herself. That counts for a good .60 of hug.
Beadie is so cute. I'm sure after she sleeps on my face I'll be less happy, but right now she's so cute. She's half the size of Oob and extra cuddly!
My jetpack, you fools!
Its power is beyond your weak
comprehension!
For it is fueled not
by oil, gas, or such gauche things
but by pure SCIENCE!

or the fourth season of Babylon 5 at your apartment! I remember we fastforwarded just too much and saw SHADOWS OMFG IN EARTH SHIPS WTF. (Hmm, internet speak actually describes my reactions well here.)

Date: 2008-10-31 08:28 pm (UTC)It's not exactly a memory of a specific event, but thanks to you, I will never be able to sing the little teapot song with a straight face, and that is a very happy thing.
*big hugs*

Date: 2008-10-31 09:11 pm (UTC)I welcome all forms of silliness...PoC suggests a haiku about teenagers wearing lame costumes ("no, my Yankees hat *is* my costume") trick-or-treating, but you may not find that to be very workable!
