Good Things

[davidn]

That "tell me something good about myself" meme is one of the greatest things ever. It's strange that we feel so uncomfortable talking about things like that when not constrained into it by a rule set (what?) - thanks to people's replies, I've been feeling good about things all afternoon despite going through an excruciatingly dull test on the new system for the eight hundredth time today. Someone's got to do it. The only worry is that my cynical edit of the meme text seems to have been copied into my immediate friends' journals and will eventually propagate around the universe.

Another thing that I've been looking at recently is videogame_tales, which I'd really recommend you to read if it sounds like that's the sort of thing that appeals to you. Rather than just simple discussion of computer games, it's more a series of articles about experiences with them - from semi-obscure nostalgia to things that everyone will recognize, tirades on the Mac "chimes of death" startup sound and ways of explaining game glitches, all written by some genuinely funny people. And me.

All that means is that it was a good cynical edit :)
It's quite hard to put into words why you like some people - you know that there's a lot about them you think's great, but it's almost indefineable. There are people who are lovable in sentences, and people who are loveable but not in sentences.
