...and then two worlds collided, SMASHING MY HEAD IN BETWEEN

[psocoptera]

From my new pancake-like perspective, one minor longstanding mystery has been solved. Also I have come to see blinking for the rewarding pastime it is.

ack?

[saxifrage.livejournal.com]

umm, what happened? Head-smashing sounds bad! *hugs*

Re: ack?

[psocoptera.livejournal.com]

No, no, not bad. Quite hilarious, actually. Someone's secret identity was unexpectedly revealed, world suddenly got much smaller, that sort of thing.

[blackholly.livejournal.com]

hahahahaha.

*chuckles evilly*

[psocoptera.livejournal.com]

::meep:: Um, hi.

[psocoptera.livejournal.com]

::blinks some more:: Um, hi.

[blackholly.livejournal.com]

So what is this about ice weasels?

[thegraybook.livejournal.com]

Who cares about ice weasels? I feel we should dish dirt on Josh while he is off studying.

[blackholly.livejournal.com]

How can you not care about ice weasels?

it's a quote, doofus

[thegraybook.livejournal.com]

"Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. Then, at night, the ice weasels come."

How can you not care about dishing dirt on Josh? I know, for instance, that he brushes his hair once a month and wears hot pink thongs.

Re: it's a quote, doofus

[blackholly.livejournal.com]

I am sure he looks fetching in a thong.

Re: it's a quote, doofus

[thegraybook.livejournal.com]

I begin to feel that this is a cruel thing to do in someone else's LJ.

*offers apologies for spam*

[franzeska]

Do I know him? I don't remember him, but I'm a bad person and I never remember anyone. *scratches head*

...what...the...*heck* is going here??? ::utterly confused::

Re: it's a quote, doofus

[psocoptera.livejournal.com]

No, no, it's quite entertaining, really. Please feel free ::grin::.

Although have been further mindwarped by the thought of Josh in a hot pink thong, meep. I guess it is just one of those days.

Ice weasels are funny. (Pants are also funny, as are things being "dire" (D&D for "real big"). So dire pants are *really* funny, and ice weasels *in* your dire pants is sort of the ultimate hybrid of hilarity...) It was meant as a compliment ::grin::.

Re: ack?

[tromboneborges.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[psocoptera.livejournal.com]

So as to not repeat it all, see above comment to ccommack, except the part where I chide him for cryptic-ness.

Re: ack?

[franzeska]

Well, I remember you from *online*, but...

sigh

I have no memory.

Re: ack?

[tromboneborges.livejournal.com]

*waves* Is okay. I'd prefer to not get too much more crazy with the disclosing here on LJ but buzz me on YM or summat and we can play One Degree of Separation.

Re: ack?

[psocoptera.livejournal.com]

Doh, and here I've outed you completely in a private crusade against crypticity. Want me to hurriedly friends-lock the thread or something?

Re: ack?

[tromboneborges.livejournal.com]

Nah, not a big deal. Actually, could you pull my class year and last initial from that comment below? Perhaps doesn't matter, but I am much with the reticent and paranoid.

[psocoptera.livejournal.com]

You know, as tempting as it is to just say "things are weird! strange!", I feel I must set a good example of non-crypticness ::grin::.

So a fellow Swattie and one of the former members of my D&D campaign has turned out to be the same "Josh" oft-mentioned by Cassie Claire, Draco Trilogy author and generally Known Fandom Person, bringing two heretofore entirely separate pieces of the world into alarming overlap, with resulting Pauli Exclusion Principle effects such as causing my brain to spontaneously implode. All fine and happy and un-bad (except for the other effect that I keep posting to lj instead of transforming this damned plasmid for the fourth time, which, gah, am not thrilled about).

Re: ack?

[psocoptera.livejournal.com]

No problem, I respect the reticent and paranoid.

(Is there a way to edit comments? I ended up deleting and reposting an edited version.)

I must, however, warn you that if you don't want your last initial trumpeted about for all of the web to read, you're going to have to have some sort of nickname, should I ever need to refer to you again, since I feel that as I am dating a Josh I ought be clear about which Joshes I am talking about. I'm inclined to go with SlashJosh, although hot!pink!thong!Josh, while a bit unwieldy, could be a contender. ::grin:: Or perhaps "Lucan Josh" to go with the Emsariel theme...

Re: ack?

[tromboneborges.livejournal.com]

There doesn't appear to be a way to edit comments, which actually makes sense as it is unclear what would be the right thing to do with comments *under* the edited comment which may no longer make sense, post-edit.

I do not mind being Slash!Josh. As long as it is not expressed as an imperative statement.

Re: ack?

[psocoptera.livejournal.com]

But I could edit the original *entry* to be about something completely different, such that even those comments that currently make sense no longer would... hm, that is vaguely tempting, in an evil sort of way, to do some sort of poll then switch the question and see if anyone noticed...

Re: ack?

[tromboneborges.livejournal.com]

Well, that is true, and that happens. Lord, I don't know. Who knows what mysterious design decisions lurk in the heart of LJ!Brad? Only Frank the Goat knows.

Re: it's a quote, doofus

[irilyth]

It's very confusing for me, the other Josh, the one she's dating, that's for sure. (grin)

(A hot pink thong? Well, whatever turns you on... :^)

[tromboneborges.livejournal.com]

Why am I not surprised to discover that it's not actually the main revelation about my online life that is going to haunt me in real life, but rather lies Cassie tells about me? Not surprised at all.

Apparently I am to be referred to as "Slash!Josh." There are no words. There is hysterical, rueful laughter, of course. But no words, per se.
