V !

[StoryJunkie]

^ skillfully displaying her surprise with a mere "!"

< only knows what LOL means

< has just lied to you. < knows what SAGS really means

V thinking so hard that smoke is coming out of ears.

[polywolly]

^ Saw the smoke, but failed to see the fire.

< Has smoke coming out of several places, but not the ears.

V Thinks they should make a patch for people with ear smoking problems.

[Guest Mike256bit]

^ "Check Engine" light has turned on.

< Thinks that smoking ears are slowly being an epidemic.

V Is concerned about second-hand smoking ears.

[quamp]

^ Smoking sucks, no matter what you're smoking. But ears?

< I never knew people smoked corn before.

V Thinks I got something wrong here.

[StoryJunkie]

^ repository of bizarre trivia

<Corn what? (I guess people burned anything back then)

V wondering if you can get high from smoking corn

[redsliver]

^ is on the corn, but will not admit she has a problem.

< Has seen someone smoke ragweed under the logic that "If it makes some people sick it must be a drug."

V thinks that's my own logic.

[polywolly]

^ Should have video taped the ragweed smokers.

< Is going to put up flyers that state, "Just because it has 'weed' in the name does not mean that you should smoke it."

< Will put several up near StoryJunkie's house.

V Has seen people smoke the catnip.

[StoryJunkie]

^ meant "orageno"

< likes neat cylindrical packages of any sort

V thinks < will probably get struck down by God one day soon

[polywolly]

^ Won't get struck down.

< Is about to quote the words of Ben Harper, because you know, Ben is over >.

> "If you don't like my fire, then don't come around, 'cause I'm gonna burn one do-ow-ow-ow-own."

V Knows that song is from "Fight for Your Mind".

[Nanaea]

^ Thinks I know things I don't know.

< Is okay with not knowing everything.

< Says again, "Ignorance is bliss."

V Will now ruin <'s bliss by telling < something else < is happy not knowing.

[Guest Melody Fate]

^ Is happy being blissfully ignorant.

< Wonders if ^ knows that there's a big, hairy spider on their shoulder.

V Put the spider there.

[quamp]

^ I'm not that cruel. That's cruel, not just to Nanea, but also the spider.

< Is kind to animals.

V Also dislikes cruelty to animals.

[Guest Melody Fate]

^ Saint.

< Doesn't see how it's hurting the spider to be on someone's shoulder. But, hey, what does < know?

V Is also a saint.

[Guest Mike256bit]

^ Double-saint for calling < a saint.

< Lives on the extreme of saint-hood -- like the patron saint of snacking.

V Straight-up LIVES TO THE EXTREME!

[StoryJunkie]

^

<

v

[Guest Melody Fate]

^ Likes emoticons.

< Much prefers overindulgence in punctuation!?!

V Couldn't care about emoticons or punctuation fetishes, just wants someone to show them their tits.

[polywolly]

^ Saw my last journal entry...

< "Dear Diary, it's polywolly. Yesterday, I kept mistaking the word "tits" for "coffee". You don't know how embarrassing that was. You don't want to know the kind of glares I received after I asked if anyone had any titty creamer and when I mentioned that I hadn't had enough tits that afternoon. I'm afraid I've caught the gay."

V likes to write in all lowercase without punctuation its cool and people do it alot er a lot lol

[Nanaea]

^ Doesn't realize that my husband calls me, "Miss Grammar."

< Is anal about using proper capitalization and punctuation.

< Will edit a story to fix an error, no matter how small, as soon as < notices it.

V Hates it when someone edits a story just to put in a missing comma.

[Guest Melody Fate]

^ Doesn't know me as well as she thought.

< Gets truly annoyed at herself, because she can read something twenty times and not find anything wrong, then the moment the story has been up on AFF for awhile? Suddenly sees SIX GLARING MISTAKES and will not feel comfortable until they're fixed.

V Refuses to correct any mistakes, unless putting up another chapter, least people accuse them of trying to keep their story on top.

[Guest Madapple]

^ is shockingly observant, having noticed my secret plan to always place my fics at the head of the queue.

<must try to be even more cunning.

V wonders about the origin of the word 'cunning.'

[redsliver]

^ A veritable Wile E. Coyote

< Cunning comes from the same roots as Cunnilingus, both referring to the vagina. Someone who is cunning was smart enough to get into any woman's skirts.

V Sees me for a total bullshitter, but will never see the word cunning the same way again.

[quamp]

^ Finally got something about me right!

< always thought the word cunning came from the middle English cunnen, to know, which is also the source of the Scottish word ken.

V Is probably too lazy to find out whether I'm telling the truth or not.

[StoryJunkie]

^ he looked that up!

< also looked it up. Long ago. In the Before Time. (Darn those crazy Scottish words)

< knows "woman" is Scottish for "wife-man"

v enthusiastically absorbs the knowledge, basking in burgeoning intelligence (geek!)

[Nanaea]

^ Knows < better than ^ thought.

< Fervently soaks up information.

< Is only 33.72781% geek.

V Will now go take The Geek Test v.3.1
