Oh, go on then...

Fill in the blanks:

I ____ j4.
j4 is ____.
If I were alone in a room with j4, I would _______.
I think j4 should _____.
j4 needs ______.
I want to ____________ j4.

I'd like to know who says what, but I don't really mind anonymous responses. Really I'd just like to see as many responses as possible, because it's moderately interesting and IT'S NOT ANOTHER BLOODY CLICKY-BOXEY AM-I-GOTH-OR-NOT QUIZ.

And I must say, actually, it'd be refreshing to see some honest-to-goodness dirty responses to this meme. Or is everybody too polite and too British to say things like "I want to fuck [whoever]", or "[whoever] needs a damn good seeing-to"?

I do like your serious answers as well. And yes, they are useful, and interesting.

If I were alone in a room with j4, I would let the situation (not just in the room but in the wider world at large) dictate what happened next and would be unlikely to tell any of you lot about it - my God, a comments page is about the worst place imaginable to be saying any of these things. Certainly I would be very interested in learning more about many of her listed interests.

Heh. Now I'm wondering which of my listed interests...

You may get mail. (Eventually.) Or I might decide to post it as a LJ entry instead. Tricky one to write.

Unrelated: just by way of silly notions, do you have anything in mind for your 05/05/05 birthday party, like the spoof launch of a fifth-generation mobile telephone service? I was amused to note that the combined age of you and addedentry on that day will be - drumroll - 55.

Wow, what a fantastic coincidence! And of course 5 is a superbly Discordian number... no, I've already had one Discordian birthday party. (23 on 5/5)

addedentry: we absolutely must have a joint birthday party that year. Suggestions for five-related party themes etc. greatly appreciated. (The idea of a spoof launch of O5 is a hoot, but I suspect it's one of those things that might be funnier as an idea than in the implementation.)

I can think of five-themed things that people could give me for my birthday (five gold rings? a fiver? ... or something else entirely?) but it seems a bit greedy to start posting birthday lists for a birthday in 2 years' time already.

I always had a wholly irrational grudge against DougSoc as an institution and regarded membership thereof as a slight upon its members. (Can I justify this rationally? No, not at all. It reflects badly on me.) All the same, I was rather amused by the concept of its Childhood Regression Night. A probably-wayyyyy-too-obvious theme, therefore, for 55 on 05/05/05 would be "the fifth birthday party you wish you had had". Or, I suppose, the fifty-fifth, if you prefer.

Impractical idea for present; the five blessings of Chinese art: easy death, longevity, serenity, virtue and wealth.

Childhood Regression Night

You don't need to blame DougSoc for this -- I knew about this idea long before I'd ever heard of DougSoc. A friend of mine had a Childhood Regression Party for her 18th birthday, and very entertaining it was too. The only real problem is that having a childlike party would mean I couldn't dress up in exciting clothes (as I usually like to for parties). The idea of 5-year-olds in PVC catsuits or corsets or insanely high heels is just... disturbing.

What a wonderful set of blessings. I don't think I've ever heard them before, but they're a great thing to aspire to. (Are they in order of importance?)

The idea of 5-year-olds in exciting clothes is, I agree, disturbing, but there have been many others commenting that children are wearing rapidly increasingly exciting clothes recently. Draw your own line, because the set-to-shock fashion industry probably won't, claiming that those adults who have never grown particularly tall deserve to wear exciting/fetish/different-people-will-see-it-in-different-ways clothes just as much as those of us who have reached four, five, six or seven feet in height. What a black thought.

Blessings source: "A Book of Numbers", John Grant (pseudonym), Ashgrove Press, 1982 - ISBN 0 906798 19 1. No order implicated, but I know I'd prefer to experience them all starting at the fifth and working backwards rather than working forwards. Probably tied together with the Chinese reading right to left, or something.

OK. I'm off to watch the news. (Nearly put "read the news" first time...)
