This Week is No Quiz Week For Me

Since I don't like content free memes¹, I have decided to fight back. No I'm not going to go around and rant at all my friends, if you want to do them I don't mind. I just am bored with all the quizes and I am going to encourage them to do freeform memes, i.e. the ones where someone says something interesting about himself, by posting comments to as many of those as possible. Also I may try to start a few myself. But mostly I am going to encourage people to do what they do best. Find that one thing that you really like to write and write something about it. Maybe not today, in fact if you don't have something today don't feel pressure to post today! Quality over quantity.

In that spirit I getting to work on some really high quality writing tonight. Right after I finish off writing a thing for the DASFA newsletter. I'm late on that.

¹ Maybe content free is a bit inaccurate. They do contain pictures or whatnot, but they don't provide a good hook for interaction with people reading your livejournal. And at this point most of them aren't even terribly interesting anymore. The total number I've done in the six months I've been online is surely under six.

Birthday Stuff for Yonmei

Lightning just struck my brain. I have a good idea, oh an now I'm getting a plan. To encourage my freljs to let me know when their birthdays are I'm going to institute a program of talking up them up on their birthday and trying to do bits of literature for them.

Since she's apparently put down her b-day in the livejournal system my first act of non-random silliness is to wish yonmei a very happy birthday. She's a very cool fan living in Edinburgh. I'm going to take a guess at what she might like for her pwesent from me.
