Mellow fruitfulness

[alexsarll]

The light in Pimlico is beautiful today, particularly in Warwick Square. I could have stood there transfixed by the shimmer on the trees for hours.
Except I always think that, and I never can. Even if mundane considerations such as getting back to work don't intervene directly, there's still that nagging sense that Things Need To Be Done because we only have so much time.
The thing I'm most looking forward to about heaven is being able to sit and stare at things for as long as they deserve.

Was that picture meant to be teensy-tiny?
Though to tell the truth, I was more expecting 'GAY!'

Well you are going to Heaven, that is a little gay.

That there Wardytron (for it is almost certainly he) is discovering the joys of HTML. I need to make a Gay animation I suppose. I fear however that it may get recycled by unsavoury types.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

"Unsavoury types" as in the Ward Bros?

[jamesward.livejournal.com]

Hey! For that Sarll, you are going to Hell.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

There's a passage from Blake's Marriage of Heaven and Hell which I could quote here, but instead I'll summarise: if I say I'm going to heaven, I'm going to heaven, beeyatch!

[jamesward.livejournal.com]

Dude, I think you'll find decisions of that nature are up to me.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Pah! Your embrace of corporate sigil magic may bring you much power in this world, but as soon as you get beyond the near shores of thoughtspace you are powerless.

[jamesward.livejournal.com]

That's just what I want you to think

[wardytron.livejournal.com]

I was just at the photocopier, and I was thinking "Hey wardytron, perhaps - at your age - you should saying "Goth!" whenever people express themselves in a way which can vaguely be described as melancholy or heartfelt". And then, OBVIOUSLY, I thought "Goth!"

Seriously though. Of all the not-big-and-not-clever things we do, this shouting gay at each other on the Interweb is the worst.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

No, actually I think whoever fvcked up the html on the first comment is even less big and clever...
Though as a rule I do avoid the retro-ironic use of 'gay!' in favour of the post-retro-ironic 'straight!'

[jamesward.livejournal.com]

GAY!

[perfectlyvague.livejournal.com]

Yeah...a leather pal of mine on my friends list takes it all in good humour but I must admit I winced a little when he asked me exacly what I meant by 'lj is gaying up tonight'. But I have my faghag pass so I believe I am allowed to mock the homophobes in anyway I so choose.

Yoga cured me of that philosophy, I can now spend up to 2 hours in rapt contemplation without guilt...plus I went on an executive stress management course two years ago where they made us walk around a tudor garden and say 'This is a bush, this is some grass' a lot. It worked really well until I wandered into a gazebo and noticed thousands of spiders all descending on me 'THESE ARE SPIDERS!' I screamed as I ran down the path in terror. I was the only person who ended that exercise more stressed than I began it.

you believe in heaven? how interesting

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Surprised?

[ksta.livejournal.com]

extremely

I tend to think that everyone goes where they want to. Which means only those with overactive guilt complexes end up in Hell.
This annoys me slightly, since the real bad lots never think of themselves as bad. But when I saw it in Sandman it made instant and intuitive sense.
