LJ Idol Home Game: Introduction.

[momebie]

My name is KL and I am a compound fracture. Fractured because I'm nothing more than a fraction of a sliver of the sum of me, and compounded because I carry with me the ghosts of every sliver I have been and will be. It is impossible to define an object in one moment of time. By the time you're finished writing it that thing will have moved on and become something else. If for no other reason than the seconds have worn a little bit more of it away as you were trying to catch it. Everything is a little less possible every day. I am saddled with a little less possibility every day.



Let's try that again. My name is KL and I am a pretentious douchebag. I am also in love with no fewer than ten comic book characters. I mix my corn with my mashed potatoes. My title just changed at work and now I'm a Librarian. I'll have moved to Boston by the time this season ends. I write poems about superheroes that sometimes end up in actual facts books. I am not a poet. I'm working on it, though.



I'm preoccupied with transhumanism and artificial intelligence and what it means to be human, because I'm not quite sure what that actually entails. I'll take advice on being a person from anyone who's got it figured out, which is why I love Idol so much. Do you have any advice for me?



In the meantime I'll be dancing around in my underwear to jangly indie pop. Gotta get it all out of my system now. When they upload my brain to the internet I won't have the ability to wear underwear. And really, what would be the point of dancing then?



I am not, in spite of what my icon says, sorry about the robots.

I love this line and feel like it has the possibility for a story in it, though I'm not sure what that story would be.... Do you mind if I steal part of your entry to turn it into a story at some undefined future date that may or may not exist? That line really would make a fabulous opening line for a story, at least in my -- non-uploaded -- brain.

Yes! By all means. :D

This is a very cool intro. And it's also really good to hear from you. These pictures are awesome, too, and you look different in them. More... confident. It's nice to see :)

I'm trying. Oh man, am I trying. I still feel it every day when it hurts a little less. And aside from having to figure out money and moving logistics, I'm also less and less worried about the move every day. Things are starting to feel right again, which is good. It's a good start.

AND I'm trying to get back to LJ! I miss it here. I need to be better at comments and then maybe people will start replying again and I won't feel so discouraged. I do lurk on all of you every once in a while. ;)

Great intro. I mix my corn and potatoes too. :)

I'm glad you're home gaming. Any chance you'd want to play?

[momebie.livejournal.com]

It's the only way to eat corn, really. ♥

I do want to play for real, but I'm not going to have the time to do the game aspect of it. I AM going to try to keep up with my friends and some new people, but. I'm also going to make as many as the prompts as possible poems, which I know people don't really go for. So, you know, I'm trying not to set myself up for failure entirely. :p

In case you haven't poll watched in a while, poetry is doing much better these days than it did in the past. There was a time when it was the kiss of death, but that isn't true anymore.

But you know your schedule better than I do. I'll watch for your HG entries. :)

[momebie.livejournal.com]

I haven't, but that's really good to hear. I have a separate project this year that requires I get better at this poetry thing. I hope I see some other people write some really good ones.

I appreciate that you'll be about! :D I'm going to keep an eye on your entries as well.

errrr so i signed up to this also. I figured we could encourage each other, or something. I have all these words just begging to be let out.

also, mixing corn and mash potatoes sounds like the best thing omg.

I'm only home gaming it this season, but I will totally stand next to you and wave all of the pom poms and vote in all of the polls! And poke you to make sure you write things. <3

IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO EAT CORN. Well, the second only way. The first is to make that cornbread pudding nonsense. I hope they eat that in the north.

And why are you only home gaming, huh?!

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Time, mostly! I have a short story due in April I need to bust my butt on. My Social Issues Through Comic Books MOOC starts tonight, so that's going to be a time such for the next four months or so. And all the other writing I need to be doing and the move I'm planning and you know, life. I just don't have time to do the game aspect of it where I read 200 posts a topic for the first month or so.

But! I really want to be involved and keep up with all of you guys, since I missed you while I was away being lazy and I'm thinking this will kickstart me back into the LJ game in general. ♥

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't have time for all those things either, what with me moving to San Francisco in a few months! (Um, I just announced that; I didn't know until Friday that we would be). I wanted to be really involved in the final season of Idol, but it's clearly just not going to happen!
