If you...ate the one, then threw it up, and then ate THAT, would it count as two apples?

Yes someone was looking for competitors. I think it was Bill and Courtney. You need a teammate!

Who wants to team up with Rachel?!

SHES AWESOME!!!

I really think this is going to be fun and a great learning experience. Anyone who doesn't join, if they can, is crazy. Also, anyone who turns Rach down as a partner is insane.

Our offer to bring the mother f'in ruckus remains intact. Rachel would be a fine partner for anyone lucky to snag her up.

Mere and Rachel vs Team Bitches Get Sitches (Courtney and I)?  You are ON!! 

Do we now get a prompt like Thunderdone or do we just go from here?

So, out of curiosity, is there some sort of curse that causes these battles to die before they're out of the starting gate? I haven't seen three out of four submissions for battles here and I'm wondering if we're supposed to submit to the Workshop, which I assumed was the planned course of action here, or if there's some other secret drop-off place that I'm missing.

PandaMask from Los Angeles is reading More Than Human April 25, 2012 - 4:22am

There's a guy five blocks from where you live, don't look him in the eye, he'll tell you where to go.

Well, the issue not only lies here but in Thunderdome as well. I'm usually spot-on with deadlines, but because of personal issues I have somewhat faltered on this. It's very unlike me, but I wouldn't expect many people to know that in LR.

Also, from what I know Dakota has been very busy and Renfield is MIA in general.

It's up to the community to follow through, just like Thunderdome.

I only manage the Duo Competition and the Prompt of the Week. I set this up as a practice field. Although I would like to see more participation!

Submit to the workshoppe.

Curse? If preoccupation with real-world events is a curse then yes.

"Curse? If preoccupation with real-world events is a curse then yes."

I am currently cursed.  I discussed it last night and my best friend has possibly been hexed with some sort of witchcraft.  Her direct quote, "I belong with a serial killing voodoo priest".  She has worse problems than I do, apparently. 

More updates to come.

How are you cursed?

I'm serious btw.

I just meant I have real world events getting in the way of my internet events.

 

Furthermore - as a tip - if you find out someone has a collage of you in which they have replaced the eyes with mirrors and cut mouth slots into them, this is not something you should consider flattering.  And it cannot be over looked.

Um, hmmmm.....that is......so, um......good luck with that?

I think a lot of us have had real world stuff going on, a lot of us aren't really posting as much, which isn't a bad thing either....I can't write though....

Jiminy Christmas, that's really creepy. That means something if it's coming from me. Did this happen to you or your friend?

Yeah, real world events blow, some do at least.

That's the issue with me. I used to have my mind glued on LR, now I'm barely on. I also feel like I'm spread thin.

Ohhhhh burn! I know if I could come up with ideas I could, but I am drained....

 

But seriously that mouth/mirror eye thing....yeah....that's kind of creepy....the nearest I can figure, the eyes are the 'window of the soul' and they think yours is a gaping black hole, or like something that devours others souls....But seriously, you pissed someone off really hardcore. 

 

Panda, yeah, plus it's spring...

The holes for a mouth just bring up odd images.

avery of the dead from Kentucky is reading Cipher Sisters April 25, 2012 - 5:11am

Matt - really?  That's what you got from that?  You don't read the right books.

First - I probably made some of that up.  You can just guess which parts.

Second - the mirror eyes are so you can watch yourself fucking the mouth slot.  I mean...sort of obvious. 

Matt Attack's picture
Matt Attack from Richmond, Va. is reading As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner April 25, 2012 - 5:14am

I guess I don't think of fucked up things like that? Also, what are the right books! I mean think about it, a mouth devours, so, and the 'window of the soul' thing....

 

sigh

 

Whatever happened to just sex?  Why does it HAVE to be like over the top! I mean kinky is one thing, no one can fault that, but coming up with creative ways like that is just odd. 

PandaMask's picture
PandaMask from Los Angeles is reading More Than Human April 25, 2012 - 5:15am

That's what I thought but didn't want to say it. But if you do that who are you really getting off on? Yourself or the picture?

I don't think you made any of it up, but that's just what I think.

avery of the dead's picture
avery of the dead from Kentucky is reading Cipher Sisters April 25, 2012 - 5:19am

Matt - I guess you did not relate the serial killing voodoo priest to the whole mirror eye/mouth slot thing.  You should have.  It's not kinky, it's extremely scary and wrong. 

And I made it up.

Oh! cause if it was real it would be an extreme form of narcissism and dehumanizing. 

serial killing voodoo priest"
 

That was alright. Not like "oh my God" ....as for being cursed, yeah, life  happens. Panda, I haven't forgot about your PM, still have it up yo.

No, I didn't mean it in a bad way. I just can't concentrate on what's being said.

No, I haven't slept at all. I'm gonna try again right meow.

All I know is Courtney and I are rocking on our prompt.  As for the real world getting in the way, yeah, that always happens.  As for feeling drained, it's important for artists to "recharge" once in a while.  Take some time, do things that recharge the batteries and get back into it.

"cause if it was real it would be an extreme form of narcissism and dehumanizing."

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

But more importantly, is it still called Stockholm Syndrome when you start to love your stalker, or is there another word for that?  ...like possibly voodoo

 

Matt Attack's picture
Matt Attack from Richmond, Va. is reading As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner April 25, 2012 - 7:30am

I think it is only Stockholm if you were kidnapped by them. If it is just a stalker and you start to like them, then you're just crazy.

So...when you see the collage of mirror eye/slot mouth pictures of yourself in the closet with all the burnt down candles around it, and you get a warm fuzzy feeling of acceptance and love....you're saying that is not what would be considered normal? 

Noted. 

In further news, two people with known social disorders can sometimes make a great team.  Until they don't.  And when it turns sour, it could be very messy.  Unless they both have severe apathy.   

I think I want to start a home business where I make fortune cookies that say really upsetting things. 

What thread is this?  Meh.  Doesn't matter.

Matt Attack's picture
Matt Attack from Richmond, Va. is reading As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner April 25, 2012 - 7:45am

Yes, the mirror self fuck thing is....wait, what? Did you say it was normal? 

Yeah, unless they don't give a shit, it would be messy. It depends on the social issues though....like if one is totally disorganized, and the other has OCD and needs to clean, it would benefit everyone. 

Give me examples of said cookies....I have always been told to add the words "in bed" after every fortune cookie. 

avery of the dead's picture
avery of the dead from Kentucky is reading Cipher Sisters April 25, 2012 - 7:56am

No, I asked if feeling flattered by the mouth slot is abnormal.  Which I guess the answer is yes.

 

Miss Fortune Cookies  (HAHAHAHAHA - get it?  I'm going to be SO RICH!)

um....

In the end, even your cat will leave you sad and alone.

Your stalker is seeing someone else behind their back.

I just feel like you all missed me.  And my glowing personality. 

The way i light up a thread with the warm glow reflected in the shiny mirror eyes of all my photographs. 

If I had a stalker, I'd send him presents.
