Less A Shout, More A Whisper To The Ear
They say that great minds think alike, but what they fail to add is that lessor minds like mine may also pick up signals from greater minds.
For the last few days, an idea evolved in my head that originated from DJ D and Dan complementing me on this blog, which I wanted some way to actually point out that it is down to them and my other friends who read here - and, reader, this may well include you - that I continue to attempt to keep this thing alive.
My first thought was back to the days of GeoCities, where you’d find websites from ‘young people’ with highly contrasting neon colours for text and background, and such varying case use in writing that it was a form of capitals punishment. Always the young people would include a line acknowledging the existence of their friends.
The idea grew to a more detailed element when I saw the re-occuring meme floating around LiveJournal that you write things that you think of are like a person (for example, a song that reminds you of them; what movie they would be). This seemed a little off-track, and I’m not a great fan of relying on memes.
The thought of acknowledgement wouldn’t dwindle. Instead, it took a different path and after indirectly coming in to contact with a rather distinct group of students, I actually did manage a ’shout out’, which to my knowledge is forever kept secure from an audience. It wasn’t detailed, merely an acknowledgement of how I thought they were decent people.
This brings me to today, where I wake up early, and in between other thoughts I consider how I could stretch this and say the things I think of with regards to my regular visitors. It’s about four or fives hours before I was thinking of dragging myself out of my covers, so to fill time I went to other people’s blogs, and through Doho’s I ended up at VeggieMacabre (Bill from X-Entertainment’s community), I sometimes pop by there in ‘lurk mode’ because he’s a great writer and seems to be very well structured with his thoughts on many different topics.
Then I notice, days ago he’d done a ’shout out’ and now I wonder whether I’d ever have been able to be as well-spoken about it as he was. In fact, I sincerly doubt my eloquence on the matter!
So, because I still want to issue my thanks, I will say that I love you guys - you all mean a lot to me in many different ways - and hope you keep coming to see me here. I’ll also add that if you haven’t read his stuff, go have a glance at Bill’s blog, it’s an absolute joy to read.
