you have GOT to be kidding me

Read this slowly. Let the words arrive before you decide what they mean.

I would like to formally resign from coincidences. #

No. Seriously. I made `Bambolina_fashion_kiss`. Guess what appeared? `Bambolina_fashion_smack`. SMACK? What the hell is smack supposed to be? -.- I’m sorry but this has moved beyond annoying and entered comedy. At least if you’re going to make something that looks suspiciously like mine, improve it. Smack. Mado’. And before somebody arrives to explain to me that I don’t own words, yes, thank you, I am aware. I don’t own Bambolina. I don’t own pink. I don’t own HTML, dolphins, perfume, football teams or the Italian language. It is the sequence that annoys me. One thing looks similar, fine. Another, fine. Sidebar labels, profile phrases, graphics, nickname things, and now I make Bambolina_fashion_kiss and suddenly Bambolina_fashion_smack exists? Come on.

So I’ve decided I’m changing things, partly because I’m irritated and partly because I now want to see whether I’m imagining the pattern. Blue is finished anyway. Everything is pink from now on. Dolphin? She can have it. Favourite animal: lion. Yes, lion. I already like them and at least now I have an excuse to put a tiny one in the sidebar. Sampdoria stays because I’m not changing things I actually care about just to play Internet chess. Angel stays too, even though I saw Angel appear in one of her tests and that one irritated me more than it probably should. Angel has an actual history for me. Mom wears it. I discovered it because of her. I’ve been stealing hers for ages. I associate it with her coat, our hallway, Christmas, her work meetings downstairs, me spraying it before Yuri arrives. Could another girl independently wear Angel? Obviously. I’m not insane. But again, it is all the little things appearing together that make me raise an eyebrow.

Anyway, enough. I have plans tonight and I refuse to spend Saturday conducting anthropology on Splinder. Pink top, black trousers, Angel, techno. She can keep Smack. Whatever Smack is.

Remember me, Eclipse.

Why?

Because every thought leaves a trace. If something moved you, disturbed you, softened you, or made you think, leave it here, quietly.
