Declaration of Adoration

[queerbychoice]

I would like to randomly mention that I feel great adoration for all of the following people:

arsenothelys
dlfke
frankepi
noog
sapphiretrance
subtlyironic
transliberation
and of course (very much) metacarp.

If you are not acquainted with these people, you are majorly missing out on much of what makes my life pleasureable.

That goes for others too, but, well, if I retyped my entire friends list here, you'd get extremely bored with all the scrolling. The eight people above have been deemed to be In Most Immediate Cannot-Be-Postponed-One-Second-Longer Need of Strongly-Worded Expressions of Profound Gratitude for Their Existences. They're eight of the very loveliest, most brilliant and most delightful people I've found anywhere among all 600,000ish people on LiveJournal.

That is all.

Wait, Metacarp didn't tell me that his soul was mortgaged. How did you acquire ownership of it? Clearly he's been withholding highly relevant information from me. And most importantly, can I pay you in Monopoly money please? Or in videotaped cartoons and cheese pants?

I can't even remember, actually. I just remember that at some point I obtained ownership of it...

And sorry, those other payments are invalid. I don't need Monopoly money because I always win at it, and cheese pants don't actually exist. Don't worry, though...what do you really need his soul for? Sex is a soulless, sinful act...I should think that the absence of a soul improves it. I don't want to think about that, though, so I'm just going to go back to using his soul as a pencil holder.

We weren't having that kind of sex, silly. We were having the other kind. It's nearly identical to petting a cat.

I'm not sure whether cats are supposed to have souls exactly, because I'm not sure what the word "soul" is supposed to mean exactly - but based on my limited familiarity with the word, it seems to me that the soul of a cat is the thing that purrs. Jeremy purrs very happily, and quite exactly like a cat; from this I conclude that although you may have acquired the legal deed to his soul, he's still functionally connected to it and able to make routine daily use of it, as with a house which is mortgaged to the bank but still lived in by the person who pays off little bits of the mortagage in small payments each month.

I am, however, quite interested in buying his soul back, if only to give it back to him so he can clean out the graphite residue that your pencils have been leaving in the bottom of it. I simply need to find an appropriate form of payment. You can always use more Legos, can't you? How many Legos is a pencil holder worth to you?

Ok, eww. I didn't even know there were "other kinds," nor do I want to hear any more about it. But that $1140 is a rather important sum of money...it's what I need to finish the debt my stepfather is extorting from me, so that I'll be able to move away. Don't worry, though. It's clean; I don't actually use or own any pencils.

Well, according to Metacarp, the soul you've gotten hold of isn't his anyway. Not that I find this terribly comforting; at least if you were using it as a pencil holder I'd know exactly where it was and could keep an eye on it.

Anyway, I have no great desire to purchase the soul you seem to have acquired, so you'll simply have to find a better item to sell.

Incidentally, do you really find literal cat-petting eww-inducing, or are you simply ignoring my description entirely and insisting on imagining it as something disgusting simply because Metacarp is rumored to have a small amount of non-feline DNA in his family tree?

[rhekarid.livejournal.com]

Eh? It's not his? Oh well...I can't protect my claim or anything, my memory is too bad to be sure. I've conned so many people out of their souls...I thought for sure one was his.

As for cat-petting, that's really just getting into what you did with him, which is territory I don't wanna tread in any possible way. >.< Just the way I am...he went to your house for sexish purposes, therefore I reflexively tone it out.

[queerbychoice.livejournal.com]

No, but I mean, do you ever pet actual cats? Are you okay with the notion of petting an actual cat?

It doesn't have to be squicky. Jeremy came over to my home and I re-braided his hair; that's all that needs to be said and it conveys a perfectly accurate enough representation of what we did to satisfy me. When you make it sound squicky it disturbs me, because it wasn't "sexish purposes" in the disturbing sense of the word at all.

But yes, I'll stop with the unpleasant conversational topics now.

Re: the debt to your stepfather: what you really need is the money to live on, not to pay off the debt. As sooon as you have that, just don't tell him your new address, and he can't collect on the debt. ;)
