When I get plonked off...
Posted by Script Writer | Category [ General ]Comments (26) | Trackbacks (0)
Very few events have an impact on me which is so profound that it makes a dent on my ego. After all, it does take a lot to fish on dry land.
A few days ago, as I was happy and cheerful, I knew things were not very right. Some part of the universe had gone drastically wrong. It is not often that I am happy and cheerful. And it is not often that things don't go wrong.
I visit the blogs home page of fullhyd.com and I see that I have been plonked off the most popular blogs list! That is something a man can take lying down. But, being plonked off the list by two people in one day is not something any homo sapien who calls himself even remotely human would take very kindly to.
What does that mean? No, I am not referring to what a human being can take kindly to. I am concerned with the big picture. In the over all context of things, this could have a potentially profound impact on the world of blogging. It could change the face of blogging as we have come to know it.
Depending on whether your tastes are classy or slapstick, not necessarily in that order, you would be in a state of either lament or ecstasy, again, not necessarily in that order. But this post is not about you - why would I ever write about anyone other than me? And, it is not about me, either. Man, what is going on with me? I am actually not writing about me? Well, I guess the impact is already being felt and is much more sinister than I had previously fathomed it to be.
Those who have been following my blog (that <i>handful</i> of the most <i>blessed junta</i> on fullhydblogs) would know that I have made a habit of writing on subjects which, ideally, should not even come under the defintion of the word. Others <b>had</b> been lucky - until now, that is. As Cypher would have said, "Why oh why didn't you go elsewhere?" Need I say any more?

You mean you actually have a topic? You follow a subject in your posts? Oooh... that's so exciting. I mean, I'm one of the handful (somehow that sounds so sleazy), but if someone asked me what you write about, I wouldn't be able to reply coherently.
And yes, you need to say more. You do a perfectly nice job of talking about fascinating nothing.
In case you think this is rude, it's not. I'm just being bitchy and bs-ing here. And you don't need to apologise either. :D

Aran, I never said I follow a topic - one of my most endearing traits, as you must have come to realise by now, is digression. I think I have made it into an art form. That and the ability to go on and on about I, me, myself (leaving no room for Irene).
I won't be apologetic this time but allow me to be grateful. You happen to be one of the very few audience I have and for this I am eternally obliged. Please, please, please promise me you won't desert me!
In case you think this was a pathetic whine of a loser, well you were right.

Dear Script, (I hope we're on first name basis by now :p), by the time I waded through your last paragraph with your codes and all hanging out for all to see, I somehow got the impression that you were saying you write on particular topics. Now that I've read it again, I realise that it was meant to confuse. And I am. Congratulations. :)
Ohh and I'll read you. Somehow your wandering through nothingness so elegantly makes me want to come and read you.
12 Aug 2004, 3:38pm
Aran, your last paragraph in your comment lit up thirty-six million light bulbs in my head, and in a few other places as well. In fact, I am so lit up that my boss has ordered the office lights to be switched off so that they can save power, a miser that he is.
On a more poignant note, however, my objective was not to confuse people. I fervently believe that only those who have atleast half a mind are liable to be confused. Honestly, I do not credit the junta that reads my blog with this much intelligence.
PS: No offence meant.
12 Aug 2004, 4:55pm
I am offended.
I have only half a mind. Am halfway to insanity. Can't you tell?
13 Aug 2004, 11:04am
Well, this time I need to be apologetic. My intent was not to offend you in any way. However, since I have managed to I guess I shall continue with it.
Half-way to insanity? Now you sorely disappoint me. I had put you on a pedestal thinking that you were already at your destination. I do not understand this, Aran. Everytime the co-efficient of the respect I have for you rises appreciably, you do something so juvenile that it plummets to depths so deep that even the giant squids find inhospitable. Why? Why? Why?
13 Aug 2004, 7:43pm
Dear Script,
Now it's my turn to be disappointed. What makes you think that I have not reached my destination? I'm already there. Halfway to insanity is EXACTLY where I want to be. Gimme that pedestal. Hope the G. Squids can live in peace now.
Yours half-insanely,
13 Aug 2004, 8:23pm
This time I need to be profoundly apologetic. I had thought that you would only rest once you reached complete insanity. I did not know you lacked ambition.
This state of affairs has indeed put me in a quandry. You rightfully ask for your pedestal but I am in multiple minds whether to give it to you or not. Though you did achieve your goal, it was only half of what I had set for you.
Oh well, what the heck! There is just too much thought involved here for my mind to be capable of. Can you help, since you have half of yours intact?
13 Aug 2004, 9:49pm
Script, I do not lack ambition. I have, in fact, reached the place where I had wanted to go to. Who would want to be completely insane? Halfway to it is the place to be.
And what makes you think I'll even want to acheive goals which someone else sets for me?
Since you asked for the help, yes, sure I'll help you get rid of that pedestal you have lying around. Give it to me. I'll take care of it. Don't worry your poor self about it anymore. :D
ps. I don't have an intact half a mind. I have a whole mind. But it is halfway to insanity. There's a subtle difference between the two.
pps. Profound apologies accepted. After all, you cannot help the way you are.
14 Aug 2004, 11:40am
Aran, it is disturbing that you, of all people, should ask a question as lame as "Who would want to be completely insane?" I am the perfect example.
Your second paragraph pained me deeply. When you said that we were on first name basis, I had automatically assumed that it meant we could have some expectations of each other. I guess I was wrong. :(
Thank you so much for making the decision for me. I am greatly indebted to you - you managed to save three months of my time over it.
PS: When I had said 'half a mind intact' I had meant it in the sense of half of it being not insane.
PPS: At last! :)
14 Aug 2004, 3:02pm
Just because you're completely insane doesn't mean I would want to be too.
We are on first name basis. No goal-setting for each other though.
Script, All of my mind is half insane. Why are you having so much trouble with this concept? Ahh... that's b'cos you're all insane. You manage to be disturbed, apologetic, moved, indebted - all at the same time. What would you do without me? :p

What does that mean, Aran? Does it mean you are leaving me? Does it mean that you would not be frequenting my blog anymore? Does it mean that I am actually a loser?
:( :(
14 Aug 2004, 4:06pm
I'll leave it to you to understand what it means. You can do it. You have it in you.
ps. No. No. Yes. :D
14 Aug 2004, 7:36pm
Damn, Aran. For all your statements you turned out to be a fair weather friend, after all. Leaving me all alone to find the answer to one of the most profound questions! How could you?
PS: Yahoo!!! Yahoo!!! You too? :(
14 Aug 2004, 8:51pm
It's called encouragement, dear Script. Gentle nudges and kicks to make you reach your full potential. show you what you're capable of.
Yours,
Brutus.
;)
14 Aug 2004, 11:55pm
Gentle nudges and kicks are all fine, but you just have the tendency to hit below the belt at times. And that, my dear Aran, hurts.
15 Aug 2004, 7:20am
No Scripty, don't take it that way. I adore you. There, I've said it. Now they'll come and take me away. :p
15 Aug 2004, 11:16am
:) :) :)
You have put many a smile on my face this morning, Aran. Just made my day! And, don't worry, they won't take you away. I shall come to your rescue, which is not saying a lot but it is the thought that counts, right?
16 Aug 2004, 3:09pm

Dear Gormu
Spoken like a true idealist, haven't you? But, seriously, do what in our living rooms? You are not implying that we are 'doing' anything, are you? Tch, tch... That is so not expected of you!

18 Aug 2004, 1:36am

18 Aug 2004, 9:47am
Ah, Gus beat me to it.
Just wanted to say - get a room!
18 Aug 2004, 10:22am
Et tu Neurotron? And you do this to me? The only person who has not goofed up the spelling of your name! Just what is this world coming to?
18 Aug 2004, 5:32pm
Aww, you're right. That does deserve some consideration. And don't think I don't appreciate it...
May I get you a room?
18 Aug 2004, 7:31pm
You can, by all means, get me a room, Neurotron, as long as it is the Presidential Suite in the Taj. About Aran, ask her what she needs.
