This was going to be me posting the newly-revised-and-shiny first 3000 words of the fic I'll have to stop calling 'Epic Which Will Never Be Finished', since [gleeful]it's actually going somewhere![/gleeful], but no. Power cut at home, so can't get fic off home computer to post it, so sulking. Huh.

So, faced with reading stuff on genre theory or messing around on the Internet in my office, I've been... well, not reading stuff on genre theory. But I have discovered the Search->Random button on LJ, which is incredible amounts of fun. (And this is the point where everyone else says, 'But we know about the Random thing, we've known for ages, you fool. Aren't you the same person who didn't work out that 'Beatles' had the word 'Beat' in it deliberately until she was about 19?') I have found:

- Someone who's posting all their old diary entries from 1971
- Someone who does not like their boyfriend's mother (reading that, I suppose Ex's family weren't all that bad after all)
- Three people who are really, really scared of spiders
- Someone who has seen a cow give birth and then eat the afterbirth
- A teacher who posted about getting attacked by a five-year-old
- Funny stuff about Troy: "Homer wrote two epics. Two. That's it. Is it so hard to tell them apart?"
- A 15-year-old with a manipulative boyfriend, an abusive mother, and generally the saddest life I've heard of for a long time.

wow, the people you find while randoming are sure more interesting and/or disgusting (citing the cow thing here - who wants to know about that?) than the ones I find while randoming.

The random tool is interesting. Though you seem to pull up some tame LJ's the last random search I did someone was talking about a penis ring/clap thing, took me a while and a visual from their LJ to work out they werent talking about an earing for the penis.
I know I live a sheltered life.

Dont feel bad about the beatles :Beat: thing I didnt even realise it till you mentioned it. ^_^
