three things is one plus one plus one

[schmerica]

Thing One: I was looking through somebody's memories last night, looking for recipes, and I came across this post from last spring with me commenting in down the page about how much I love fictional arguments:

There are just really few things more intensely satisfying to me to read than a really well-done argument scene. It's the flipside of porn, I suppose: that emotional connection, pressing each other's button, the knowledge of each other, the intensity. Mmmm.

Which, man. I totally had forgotten I ever said that, but it is still SO TRUE. Especially a good break-up scene. Or interfamilial blow-outs. Mmmm, indeed.

Thing Two: Comment rankings!

Now you all know EXACTLY WHO LOVES ME.

Thing Three: I have already made a lot of people look at this, but I feel a need for ALL OF YOU to share my pain.

Comments

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

I LOVE YOU THE MOST!

*beams*


...Although if you keep sharing that link, it may change.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

...You weren't supposed to click on it AGAIN.

*twirls you*

[annakovsky.livejournal.com]

FIFTY ONE!

Also, that link is NOT COOL, PEARL.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I KNOW the link is not cool! Thus the reference to my PAIN!

Jeez, Kovsky, fifty one. You're over the hump of the bell curve. Are you even TRYING?

[annakovsky.livejournal.com]

Give me a couple of more months and I will have moved up in the rankings!

Also, I think my favorite shirt on that site is "Pedro lacks political experience." Also the Oregon trail one where the description is "You bought 1350 lbs of this shirt but you can only carry 200 back to the wagon."

AWESOME.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Dude, I have that Oregon Trail shirt! Mmmm, dysenteralicious.

Plus, you know, I'm just a fan of bad puns. (EXCEPT WHEN THEY INVOLVE NAKED SANTA CLAUS.) And also of mocking vegetarians.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

I am nimber *seven*?

Wow. I really wouldn't have expected that!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I was actually kind of surprised by that too!

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

omg my rank is my age.

*is old*

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

seriously, that's...unexpected!

Where does one find this nifty comment counting thing?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

http://www.livejournal.com/users/scrapdog/67028.html

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Aww! At least you weren't in the nineties!

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

danke!

[brooklinegirl.livejournal.com]

wow, I love you a lot more than I did the last time you did this, apparently!

[ficbyzee.livejournal.com]

I want that shirt.

[akite.livejournal.com]

OMG! That shirt! No, just no. Wow! I was surprised, I commented a bunch of times.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

You make me CRY.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*wins*

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

Top ten, baby!

And that shirt is evil. Santa can have nookie, but I don't wanna know about it!

[helleboredoll.livejournal.com]

Woo-hoo! #70! I made the top 100!

*plots future comment spam*

Next time, I'm shootin' for top 10 ;)

[speshope.livejournal.com]

Wow. I'm so much higher than I expected to be! Just think how high I'd be if having lunch with you counted! Millions of comments!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Hee. Good luck, I guess?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Dude, on the other journal you have, like, twice as many as anyone else!

Hey, have you talked to Livia about her wanting us to come visit her in a couple weeks?

[speshope.livejournal.com]

I love Other You more than everyone!

I haven't!

[estrella30.livejournal.com]

LOOK HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!!

TOP FIVE BAYBEE!!

*twirls*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

WOOOOOOOOOOO!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Seriously, man.
