1. Will there be a powerful, touching soundtrack?
If not, then no. I need some kind of musical cue to let me know how to feel.

2. I think my potential drama should be scored with an old tone-wheel organ
You know, like the old radio plays.

7. That could work, but only if there's also a foley artist.
Rocks in cigar box for thunder, that sort of thing.

3. I want a story
A heart rending story...
Worthy of the classics.

5. I'll provide photos
And I'll use vague questions to sort of outline the happenings without being explicit. That way I can stretch things over dozens of threads.

4. Will you tell me how much you've grown as a person because of it?
And will you use flowery prose?

9. Indirectly these will all be about what a noble, tragic figure I am
And about the terrible injustice of people whose behavior doesn't suit my every whim and caprice at all times.

11. Can you also rehash the same tired stories about how you've been wronged?
And can you manage to work those stories into every post you write?

12. That depends.
Will something dramatic be happening to you every 15 minutes? - Or closer to once every 2 or 3 years?

Will you be sharing it with us to increase our enlightenment? - Or because you're perhaps seeking to condescend by way of how much more enlightened you are than us lot?

Will you be seeking advice, help, or support? - Or will you be grinding our noses in how much more exciting your life is than are ours?

13. I'd prefer to hear when mundane things happen to you.
For example, did you scratch any itches today? If so, WHY did you not post about it? Did you listen to any music? Because I didn't see any "I'm listening to so-and-so right now" threads from you. I have no idea what you had for lunch or dinner, or if you did any snacking. jp, you're a great guy, but you're really not holding up your end of the Lounge at all lately.

16. Ever feel you have an itch that will never be scratched again?
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 09:15 PM by jpgray
Like the poison ivy of shattered dreams, it is. One big crockery rash. ;(

I wore sandals instead.
