in which a favor is gratefully acknowledged and a manifesto is pondered

I feel this terrible need to be scintillating.

However, in lieu of that, I want to say that jess79 rocks beyond the ability of mere words to express. Thanks for the LJ code. (And also thanks to heres_luck for stumping on my behalf.)

I'm still working out what exactly it is I'm going to use this thing for. Starting a journal (paper, electronic, private, public) is one of those liminal moments that begs for melodramatic gestures and rash promises--which are, of course, hideously embarrassing when reread in cold blood. But there are some things I want to articulate for myself about what I'm doing here. When I'm feeling a little less melodramatic, I'll post them.

Watch this space.

Do I have a crew? What an amusing thought! But for the record, I didn't invite Truepenny; she capitulated to the lure of LJ all on her own, with very little (if any) nudging from me. I didn't need to bug her about LJ; I've got near-perpetual access, like when the computer's off and everything.

In any case, I'm the one who got lured onto LJ with the prospect of having a platform from which to hold forth about the finer points of laundry and salsa. I hardly think the expectation of scintillation would be fair.

of course you do! and what a merry crew it is *wink* and you're they're leader because you're the first one I met, and there'll be no dissuading me.

phew, well that's a load off!
