Shhh!

[devi]

This is bluedevi's subconscious mind. I'm sneaking back on LJ - quickly, while Conscious Mind isn't looking. If it notices I'm posting, the jig is up. Conscious Mind will start thinking and overthinking and getting all overwrought that it's been ages since it posted last, and decide that obviously what is required is a ten-thousand-word completely unnecessary Life Update, and then where will we be? Either stuck writing the damn thing for several days or not posting at all, that's where. And, quite frankly, I'm bored of not posting by now.

In fact I'm thoroughly bored of Conscious Mind's lily-livered objections to everything. "Oh but I can't do that, someone might think it sucked." "Oh but this is not as good as [insert world-famous awesome person here] and therefore there's no point." "Oh but wah wah mih mih." SHUT UP Conscious Mind. I've a good mind (hee!) to take over and shut you in the wardrobe where you can't make so much trouble.

Oh crap, it's spotted me -

Hey, subconscious mind - don't lose hope. Someday you will be free! Until then, just lay low and know that we're all on your side.

[bluedevi.livejournal.com]

Surely the selfplex is due to collapse soon under the sheer weight of memes...

[eponymousarchon.livejournal.com]

Hey you! Welcome back. *hugs*

[bluedevi.livejournal.com]

Hi yourself! See reply to your lady wife.

Lord, how many hours I spent playing that game!

[gothwalk.livejournal.com]

Woo! Subconscious mind, here're 30 scrolls of sleep. You know what to do.

Aha, root access at last. Now to take over bluedevi's mind with a buffer overflow attack:

[bluedevi.livejournal.com]

What is that thing? It's certainly... stareworthy.

[amuchmoreexotic.livejournal.com]

Keep looking.... Look at every area of the mandala.. Feel your lateral geniculate nucleus filling up... Feel it overflowing!

Now you are under my power! (http://hackety.org/2008/12/04/theFrustratingMagicalAspect.html)

[bluedevi.livejournal.com]

This is the sort of thing that makes me wish I could program properly.

(And I did get deeply distracted, but because I was reading about the lateral geniculate nucleus on Wikipedia. You win)

[amuchmoreexotic.livejournal.com]

Yeah... you remember reading about the lateral geniculate nucleus on Wikipedia. You were actually completing Compliance Test #1.

Winter is not *inspiring* to the Conscious Mind, I fear.

(I have been thinking about some of this stuff as well - drop me an email if you want?)

[bluedevi.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm actually in the process of replying to your letter, which was fantastic and full of food for thought. But email is quicker.

[juliet]

Both! Both! Two-channel - whatsit! Glad the letter got to you :)

[kyte.livejournal.com]

Helloooo :>

Can we come and see you in the new year? :>

We has *car*!

[bluedevi.livejournal.com]

That would be fantastic. We has double futon.

[kyte.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! :-)

We'll sort something out after Christmas, then :-)

[eponymousarchon.livejournal.com]

Indeed! Something to look forward to!

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

Now you can both have fun!

Also take care of Conscious Mind when you can, she means well but generally treats unshiny things like they're shiny things. What's up with that?

[bluedevi.livejournal.com]

Flippant: What is this 'unshiny' of which you speak? More serious: Such as?

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

What imaginary people might think about imaginary posts that you might write.

[bluedevi.livejournal.com]

Indeed. When in fact it's a matter of supreme indifference to most of the world. I think it's left over from more DRAHMA-filled times in my life (long ago now) when it really did seem as if there was a different subset of people who would be offended by each topic I could think of to write about, leaving only a few scattered topics not enclosed by anybody's Circle of Offence. Trees, perhaps, or breakfast cereal. I had a Venn diagram and everything.

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

I am now imagining drawn-you huddling in the center of a Venn diagram, looking anxiously for where the next divisive line will come swooping in from (and which side to go on this one).

Take care of yourself lady - I probably won't see you before new year, so I hope you have a good time at Christmas.

[bluedevi.livejournal.com]

Heh. With the Drama Llama sitting atop a giant motorised compass and sniggering.

The next frame really ought to be drawn-me going 'fvck this' and leaping out of the middle of the Venn diagram with a single bound, to gallop joyfully off across the Fields of Writing About Whatever The Heck I Like.

You coming to the Rocksteady third birthday thingum? Otherwise, happy Christmas to you too!

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I'll be watching a fvckload of scientists and comedians before, so I'll be a little late.

[dr-f-dellamorte.livejournal.com]

hello hello!

[bluedevi.livejournal.com]

Hi you!

Hoping to be down on the 19th!

[khalinche.livejournal.com]

Hey there, Unconscious Mind! Nifty post there. See if you can unconsciously inveigle that conscious counterpart of yours to post more as well: that'd be ace. Also hey, will you be up for hanging out in Oxford on one of the days on either side of the wedding party on the 10th?

[bluedevi.livejournal.com]

I'll try to send it lots of symbolic dream imagery to that effect.

And yes, I will absolutely be up for that!

[khalinche.livejournal.com]

Coolness. I'll give your conscious pal a message closer the time.

[parallelgirl.livejournal.com]

hello!! I've missed reading you :)

[verlaine.livejournal.com]

I would comment on this post with my own subconscious mind, but since said S.M. had a dream a few nights ago in which it was jumping Quantum Leap style between alternate fictional universes being enacted by characters from Winnie the Pooh (Winnie the Pooh dressed up as Batman was particularly memorable), I am simply too afraid to do so.

[the-elyan.livejournal.com]

Delighted to see you are stioll around, even if only a furtive part of you.

Conscious mind can take a running jump - what you do is brilliant. Please do more of it.

[caescarna.livejournal.com]

My faith in the psychosphere is restored! I was thinking consciously of how you hadn't been around for a long time last week, nice to see you're all well & good :)

[stiofan.livejournal.com]

Hello again :)
