Utterly pointless blather

[thegrrrl2002]

Warning: Dullness ahead.

Bleh. Work has been very dull this week. Which I have to remind myself isn't necessarily a bad thing, since I've had very awful non-dull jobs in the past. It's just that nothing is going on, and it's dull, dull, dull. I'm dull, too. My clothes are dull. My hair is dull. Just sort of not-really-curly, just frizzy and, yes, dull.

My lunch was pretty darn dull, too. Turkey sandwich. How not exciting.

I keep trying to work on my ficathon fic, but it's dull, too. Jack and Daniel are failing to light up the page. At this point they're having a dull, pointless conversation. Maybe I can move them on to having some dull sex.

<a "href=http://www.hyperdictionary.com>"Hyperdictionary</a> has 19 definitions listed for "dull". I personally like "so lacking in interest as to cause mental weariness". It lists "irksome" as a synonym, which doesn't work for me. "Dull" and "irksome" are two totally different things, aren't they? I can be irked by dullness, but being irked is never dull.

"Irked" is very strange word.

Anyway let me just say that that my job/life/self is so lacking in interest, that it is causing me mental weariness. At least at this very moment. Thank goodness for my flist. You folks aren't dull at all.

I am sending you Paul's pants as an icon tonight becuase they are not dul. They are nice and frilly with red bows. I don't think they are irkesome either - unless Jack finds them in Daniel's bed. That would be irkesome.

I sympathise with your feeling of dullness. I feel the same way. I cannot be bothered with this gen fic, and desperately want to make it slash becuase at least then I could write a nice undull hot steamy sex scene.

Aha! That's it! Eureka! You and me bopth need to go and write a competely pointless PWP. Right now. Race ya....

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Wait, those are the panties that Daniel found in Jack's bed! And they are *so* not Jack's size. Or color. He prefers the lavender bows.

That slutty Paul.

Pointless PWP. Huh. You may be on to something...

Bad Jack! No biscuit. Daniel will have to plan revenge involving a pair of handcuffs, some squirty cream and a banana.

Oh yeah!

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

And a blindfold.

Squirty cream? I thought that was a given. ;-)

[nicci-mac.livejournal.com]

Squirty cream? I thought that was a given. ;-)

Well 'cream' is a given, but Jack prefers whipped and Daniel prefers sqyuirty so its often a bit of a toss up. Whipped.... hmmmmm riding crops... but I digress!

At this point they're having a dull, pointless conversation. Maybe I can move them on to having some dull sex.

Isn't that what marriage/long-term committed relationships are all about? (Smugly asks the person who's never had either.)

Hey, at least you can entertain yourself with dreams of Toronto Trek. Which Kylie Lee informs me you're all going to be at and which I will attend only in spirit, since I can't afford to go in the flesh. But my spirit is ready to get down!

And I can see how dull things would be irksome, but irksome things aren't dull. Stupid dictionary.

[nicci-mac.livejournal.com]

LOL - I love your icon!

[gigitrek.livejournal.com]

Is that for me? Thanks. Yours is not without a certain charm itself. Bizarre charm, but charm nevertheless.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Rule #1. Marry someone who makes you laugh. Then you can laugh about being dull together.

I think you must come to TT. Really. You're already in Canada, how far away can it be? Can't you, like, just thumb a ride over? I'll buy you dinner. (You do have restaurants in the great wilds of Toronto, right?)

It's irksome that you aren't going.

[gypsy86.livejournal.com]

I do so love that icon.

and if it helps, this was the most entertaining post on my whole friends page in... a few days at least. And it's about dullness! That's talent, my friends.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Daniel is so pretty there, isn't he? Thank you so much.

Although I'm a little worried if my post was the most entertaining post you've read in while. LOL! My dullness entertains? I must be the Queen of Dullness! All bow down before me!

There now, you've made me silly. It's much better than dull.

[gypsy86.livejournal.com]

oh yes. Very pretty. As lovelypoet would say, "Puddle."

It's an interesting conundrum. If you feel dull but you're entertaining someone else, can you actually *be* dull at that point?

I think the heat has gotten to me. I'm all philosophical today.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Well, now you've gone and made my head hurt. In a dull manner. Give you a screen door, and look what happens. You wax philosophical. Must be all that fresh air!

It's actually pretty hot and sticky here, too, BTW. I'm ready for the AC. The glass of wine (whine?) didn't help, either. Now I'm just sleepy and hot and sticky.

[gigitrek.livejournal.com]

You do have restaurants in the great wilds of Toronto, right?

I've never been to Toronto, but I imagine it's like the rest of the country. You eat what you can catch in your rusty steel trap.

And yes, it is in the same country, but we're not exactly Paraguay, here. According to Google, it's 3434 kilometres from here to there, which equates to a lot of money in airfare. And even more in gas. (88 cents a litre? Are you mad?) So, to the irkity of all, I won't be there this year. Maybe next.

Besides, this way I can maintain my mystique a while longer (because that's blown right out of the water the second anyone meets me in person.)

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Kilometres, litres...you all are so cute with your funny words and funny spellings.

I suppose you will have to remain a faceless mystery to me for the time being. ::sigh::

[gigitrek.livejournal.com]

Yes, we're a cute woodland people, not unlike Ewoks. We send the insufficently adorable ones to you. Which explains Bryan Adams and Jim Carrey.

As for faceless, just picture an intellectual Cindy Crawford. That's what I look like. Uncannily, actually.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Ah, an Ewok/Cindy Crawford combination. You know, that's just how I pictured you!

[reedfem.livejournal.com]

I agree, this is one of the more entertaining things I've read today. As I've always maintained, Grrrl can't write anything I don't like. So, there you go.

And I read a mention of PWPs, I'll be most irked if none surface...

Plus, I just figured out that "flist" isn't some odd typo that everyone seems to make!

Doesn't the word "succulent" just sound like what it means?

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Suck? Did someone say "suck"?

Oh, SUCCulent.

What was the question?

[destina.livejournal.com]

I am too dull. And annoyingly under-sarcastic, too. *bg*

I'm having a lot of trouble with my ficathon story, as well. It just goes in circles, like a hamster on a wheel. What this story needs is a beagle! And you know, a kitten or two.

Or maybe I should just shoot myself. *g*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Beagles! Yes. I'm sure your fics need beagles. All-knowing, telepathic beagles.

How gawd-awful.

And I suspect you are far too nice for anything other than gentle sarcasm. Which isn't a bad thing at all.

[selenay]

Has anyone ever done a survey into how many times a day we can make fun of Sorrymain? And the beagles?

I mean, she comes up at least once at every gathering and regularly in list or LJ talk.

BTW, your dullness was very entertaining :-) I almost said that you should feel dull more often, but that would just be...wrong.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

We complain and complain, yet she provides hours of amusement. Maybe we should thank her.

Sorry to say I'm feeling less dull today, but it's still morning, so things could change quite rapidly. ;-)

[raqs.livejournal.com]

Dude! Hold on to the mystique. It's, like, Internet gold.

You can tell yourself that anyway.

When I feel dull I like the word "stupid", as in "in a stupor", as in "stunned with a monkey wrench."

and now I will be unpopular and say that I lerv my ficathon story - which guarantees that it will sucketh in the eyes of others. Lo.

Lo anyway.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

"Stunned with a monkey wrench". I like that. Fits very well. And it has a certain panache, unlike "Stunned with a pair of bolt cutters" or "Stunned with a table saw".

And I'm horribly envious of your love for your ficathon story.
