Screensaver

[cosmolinguist]

It's not fair to only talk about stealthmunchkin when we're not getting along, because that's not how I think about him most of the time.

Now we just talk about why anyone would ask Mr. Tambourine Man to play a song when really you can't play much of a song with only a tambourine, and things like that. It's very nice. And it's a shame that I've only been talking about the bad things and not the nice things.

stealthmunchkin1: I miss you so very much
ylloh2221: I miss you too. I've been thinking about you all day. Probably because I haven't had anything else to do, and I always think of you when I don't have anything else to do.
ylloh2221: You're like my brain's screensaver.

I'm grinning now. That's very sweet.

so, so cute!! a brain screensaver... i love that!

[cosmolinguist]

Yes, fearfully cute, isn't it?

[jellyfishkiss.livejournal.com]

That is the cutest, geekiest thing you could have said.

[cosmolinguist]

I actually wanted to say something about CPU cycles, but couldn't quite figure out the sentence in my head before I came up with this easier example. :-)

[ladyortyger.livejournal.com]

Agreed, totally cute and totally geeky!

Failed to post this last night, but that is adorable! And puts into words a thing I've been feeling for ages :-D

You talk about me when we're getting along, as well. You're just feeling guilty because none of your friends like me after last month, but since I don't know most of them, it doesn't bother me ;)

[cosmolinguist]

No, no. :-) This is all wrong.

I actually haven't mentioned you much recently (go back and check my journal if you don't believe me). I don't know why, but it's probably just because happy things that are going well often don't inspire as much conversation (or long LJ posts) as things that I think are problems. I didn't even talk about the resolutions (such as they are) to some of those problems, even to you.

Also, I can't think of a single friend of mine who hates you, so I do not feel guilty about that.

So there.

Silly boy.

[stealthmunchkin.livejournal.com]

I didn't say they hated me, just that they don't like me.
And you *have* spoken about me a fair bit, just more in the comments than the entries.
(Can't get on AIM at the moment as I'm leaving soon, but I'll phone later).

I think you overestimate your ability to put people off.

[cosmolinguist]

I'm sure when he reads this he'll be able to cite past examples of him claiming to have made lots and lots of people hate him, but I still agree with you, Mr. Lech (no surprise there, eh?). Past performance is no indication of future results, anyway.

[gentleman-lech.livejournal.com]

Us, agree? Oh, surprise and shock. :)

[stealthmunchkin.livejournal.com]

Not my ability to put people off. Holly's ability to tell her friends only my bad points for over a month, thus making them think I'm some kind of monster ;)

[gentleman-lech.livejournal.com]

I think you're overestimating the amount of bad that comes through Holly's writing, too. Anyone she misses and adores as much as you can't possibly be a monster.

[stealthmunchkin.livejournal.com]

I wasn't talking as much about her friends on here. Holly tells me that she spent a large part of January moaning to her RL friends about how dreadful I am, and that's why she was saying it's not fair to only talk about me when we're not getting on.

"Mr. Tambourine Man" is supposedly a metaphor for Dylan's muse......it's the music he hears in his mind that inspires him to write a song. That's what the song's about, more or less....at least according to Dylan.

The song (Catch a Friend) that Andy and I recently did together is similar, in that there's an owl named Jim (in the song), and he represents the artist's muse. It's one of the best tracks we've done together, imo, in no small part due to Geoff Howe's contributions (harmonies, acoustic guitar, and percussion).

[cosmolinguist]

Yeah, I don't mind that. And I'm not even dissing the song; I just remember talking with Andrew about how it's silly to glamorize the role of the tambourine like that. :-)

And your song sounds cool; I look forward to getting to hear it.

[ted-souleater.livejournal.com]

Hope you like it when you get a chance to hear it. It's a very Andy-sounding song. I'm glad he'll finally get a chance to hear one of his songs in finished form....it's been a while.
