Black Doggerel

Added a new LJ friend today, which prompted a rush of ridiculous embarrassment at the sparsity of intelligent words in my journal of late. It can't be helped. Deathtired is bigger than I am and I can't even let myself think too hard about everything I want to be doing.

Have some linkspam as a cunning substitute for an actual entry. Many of these are regurgitated from my Facebook: I actually hate Facebook, but you wouldn't know it these days. It's just that I can forgive myself for short meaningless entries more easily on Facebook. Every time I try and write more than five words about my life it turns into bitter self-pitying whine; better just to keep my face shut.

( This got bigger than I thought it would )

Just a quick pimping post. You don't have to join; virtual worlds aren't everyone's thing. But this is one of the best ones out there. They've kept me solidly engaged for four years and you know what my attention span's like. Also, I get prizes if you do and I can possibly get shiny achievements just for you seeing this button - which is why I'm posting it.

Also, if you do join, let me know so we can be game frandz and I can be your newbie guide. It's a big complex game and you'll do better if you have someone hold your hand to start with.

The time has come when I ask everyone reading this to consider joining one of the petsites I play on. This is why:

1. I will get prizes for referring you. Okay, these prizes are virtual items - a handful of pixels on someone else's server - but that leads me to reason two.

2. THIS SHIT IS ADDICTIVE. I have huge hoards of virtual objects and virtual weapons and virtual pets and pretend money I can spend on virtual items and pets. I get a little happy thrill just LOOKING at them. You can amass your own AND help me get more. Now there's a win-win situation.

3. The site owner Keith has promised us all an extra pet slot if we can get 2000 people online on Subeta before November 15th. I want this a lot.

4. You may very well really enjoy it. Particularly now, as the Subeta Hallowe'en equivalent (we call it Morostide) is just starting up and promises to be EPIC.

5. This is Maranu, one of my virtual pets. She wants you to join.

I am a ridiculously pimped-out candy pink tyrannosaur. Your arguments are invalid.


^ CLICK THAT.

It's been a year since I last pimped driveforlife to my f-list. In that time it's had a hiatus, but those of you who added it last time may have noticed it's back in motion.

Here's the deal: Lots of dogs and cats in shelters across the USA can be saved if they can be moved to rescues, no-kill shelters and foster homes when there may not be room for them where they are. To do this, volunteer drivers are needed.

So if you have a car, are in the US and might be able to spare some driving time on a weekend, could you swing by and have a look? I'll love you forever if you do.
