Spam Is Good For You, Kids

[xifeng]

I have many old LJ posts stored up in my hard drive, but this is all you get right now because I have stuff I need to do today.

I find it hilarious that the mailman cannot be arsed to deliver our mail before 3 in the afternoon during the week (which is an improvement, considering that it used to be 4), but is Right On The Dot of 8:30 on Saturday mornings. You know, when I'm just downing my fourth cup of coffee and starting to behave like something that read a book about being a human being once and haven't yet mailed anything that needs to be mailed.

Also, I got one of them-there Twitter devices, because pixelation basically talked me into it, ZOMG IT'S ALL HER FAULT. Well, I'm going to blame her because blaming Pixel for everything is FUN. Everybody blame Pixel for something today! So if I feel like saying anything profound in 140 characters or less (suspect this will be "argh how am I supposed to condense Deep Thoughts™" and "CURSE YOU PIXEL"), it will be twittered here at the end of the day.

My username, it is xifeng, in case you feel compelled to follow my brain-shriveling thoughts. You know, the same username I use for more or less everything, except for the places where it was already taken and I said bad words because clearly having the same Int0rbuttz username everywhere is SRS BSNS. (FTR, I am not the Wang Xifeng on Facebook. I think that person might be an actual Chinese as opposed to my pathetic Cao Xueqin fangirlness.)

ALSO also, in l33's infrequent commitment to public service: _graywolf_'s beloved pet ferret has been severely burnt, and the costs of treating him are expected to be high. You can read about the incident here, and what you can do to help (if you feel so inclined or have a couple of extra bucks that you don't know what to spend on) here.

Oh, and I've been meaning to provide free advertising for a while, but: If anybody enjoys snoods, fingerless gloves, and other fine crocheted wares, anjala is premier crocheter. She has won awards for her snoods. Well, okay, AN award. But it's the first in a series.

At least you can use the same username for most things. Pixel's generally taken everywhere so I have to "get creative". :)

At least you're not (yet?) reduced to such creations as "iamtheonlypixel" or "diefakepixelsdiediedie". ;)

Getting there. My last.fm is "mynameispixel" ...so sad.

Just don't put numbers in your username. Because then it looks like you're perhaps not real, in the manner of cambots who spam the Yahoo chatrooms. (Where I only go when I'm really bored. DUN H8. ;~; )

OMFGBBQ! You really have a Facebook?!

I don't have anything to do with Twitter, 'cause none of my friends (except now you) are on there, so I question the point of getting one, but I do have a Facebook and oh my God, now I'm tempted to see if I can seek you out on there.

But only if that is acceptable to you.

(And having the same username everywhere is SRS BSNS, which is why I don't. ^^6 Should I swear off the Internet entirely, since I clearly have no place on it anymore?)

No, I don't. There's somebody named Wang Xi-feng on there, whom I found by googling my alias, but that person isn't me.

I was reluctant to get a Facebook for a while because it used to be that it showed your real first and last name, which I have intense moral objections to being flashed about on the Int0rbuttz. I am told this has changed, so I may eventually get one. If/when I do, you can feel free to stalk me. ♥

(I just like people to know it's me.)
