lists! and memes! and things!

I was staring blankly at the new meme going around--prove your existence! Which you know, would be awesome except I end up friending whoever I meet personally, so that when I finally decide that my fatal illness (still picking one) finally sees me crossing over to the Other Side, they can be easily bribed into silence with a single locked lj post. It's just messy otherwise.

Plus, these people have met me, sure, but can we really count it when there was a.) alcohol involved b.) bondage tape involved c.) vicodin involved or d.) boots involved? So I split up the categories and you can see which one looks the most legitimate.*

*some people qualify in several categories

*I accept small denomination 'gifts' in exchange for removing you from the SUSPECTED SOCKPUPPET LIST as giving me money for an LCD 42" TV (ALSO ON MY WISHLIST OMG) is considered validity of your existence. Send C/O svmadelyn.

I have done my fannish duty.

Also, God, LJ, STOP ERRORING OUT OKAY? And whoever sent the lj shamrock? THANK YOU!

*edited to add cuts cause man, this was long.

Bondage tape! \o/ That never did make a fic appearance, did it? Hrm...

[josselin.livejournal.com]

You're the one who bought the bondage tape, right? You should write it!

[amireal.livejournal.com]

I gots a shamrock too!

Though personally I feel I should be in the "People who woke up at buttfuck dawn to drive 6 hours so you would stop whining and NOT BE ALONE OMG" chategory.

[nebulist.livejournal.com]

Where is the People Who Saved Me From Ozzie-Loving Degenerates list?

And why is Pru not on your sockpuppets list? Oh, wait... I know why.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

You are in the drinking category!

God, that *guy*....

[bkwyrm.livejournal.com]

Where is the list for "people who admired my outfit at Club Vivid and wished they were as tall as me?"
Because I'm on that list. We met at VividCon, but I don't think we ever got lost together or had dinner. We just consumed alcohol.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I have you under--smoking I think? I didn't forget!

[svmadelyn.livejournal.com]

WE WEREN'T REALLY LOST. WE KNEW WE WERE IN SEATTLE. THERE WERE TAXIS. WE COULD HAVE GONE ELSEWHERE ANYTIME. WE WERE JUST TOO FEVERISH TO USE REASON.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

WE WERE AT A PIER LOOKING LONGINGLY AT RAW FISH. WE HAVE NO GROUND HERE.

[flambeau.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm merryish, so you have met me! Don't you remember my wacky Swedish accent?

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I am unconvinced. But a pound of Kona coffee and I will totally be behind you.

[ltlj.livejournal.com]

You should totally come to the next ArmadilloCon so we can prove our non-sockness together. Or at least we should do dinner or lunch or something while I'm there.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, definitely.

*still suspicious of you*

[jacquez.livejournal.com]

you can't have basingstoke, as she is MY SOCKPUPPET ROBOT.

ignore any claims from her that I am HER sockpuppet robot, or gnome, or minion, or oath-sworn slave. LIES. all lies.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

*makes notes in notebook while muttering darkly*

[vampry.livejournal.com]

Okay, I can totally vouce for hecateshound's reality cause I hung with her at Eclecticon. And I would have been able to for researchgrrrl as well if she'd just have shown up!!!

Wait - who can vouch for me?

[seperis.livejournal.com]

It's a twisted, twisted web.

*looks at you suspiciously*

[trobadora]

I call shenanigans! This is clearly just a pre-emptive strike so we won't suspect you of being OMG TOTALLY NOT REAL! But you failed - I see through you! All those people you claim to know are obviously your sockpuppets!

Prove me wrong, why don't you! :D

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I'M TELLING svmadelyn TO INVESTIGATE YOU NEXT! YOU ARE ON MY LIST! BUY ME A PONY AND MAYBE SHE WILL GO EASY ON YOU!

A BROWN PONY WITH WHITE SOCKS!

[corinna-5.livejournal.com]

I am EMBRACING my sockpuppethood! Sockpuppet rights! Help, help, I'm being oppressed!

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Oh like we believe YOU are a sockpuppet! PROVE IT!

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

[info]mysesfool

Is that my sockpuppet from another dimension?

YOU LEFT YOUR KING IN ASIA!

[seperis.livejournal.com]

GOD DON"T THAT MOVIE MAKES ME WANT TO CRY WHILE LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY.

*fixing*

[amandajane5.livejournal.com]

Where's my listing under "People whose lighter I dropped down a grate and won't ever let me forget it"?!

[djinanna.livejournal.com]

*scans lists*

*cries*

[seperis.livejournal.com]

FIXED! SORRY!

*hugs frantically*

[devin-chain.livejournal.com]

I'm real! Thanks for the verification. :)

[eleveninches.livejournal.com]

It's true. You've discovered my secret. :(

[malkingrey.livejournal.com]

Ummm...back in the days when we were all on mailing lists instead of on LJ, I was on various lists with vampry, researchgrrrl, koimistress, hecateshound, and jacquez, but the only one I ever met face-to-face, I believe, was hecateshound, and we were both using different names at the time.

So I could be a sockpuppet still, for all that any of us know.

[out-there.livejournal.com]

The hell? Why the hell am I a sockpuppet? Aren't you supposed to be interesting or all LJ-drama to be a sockpuppet? Wouldn't that immediately put me back on the boring-and-therefore-real list?

Hmph.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I'm really hoping for money gifts here, not protestation of innocence.

*suspicious*

[adannu.livejournal.com]

But... wouldn't being a sockpuppet mean the loss of any opposable thumbs? Because, given that I'm 40+ hours into playing Okami on the PS2, I'm pretty sure I have opposable thumbs. *g*

*totally bribes with awesome coffee from a local coffee roaster*

[boniblithe.livejournal.com]

If you and I have met like 57 of the same people but never met each other, can we use the Kevin Bacon logic to say we have actually met anyway?

[seperis.livejournal.com]

It would totally count.

[taraljc.livejournal.com]

And someone else here that I went blank on completely. God.

HELLO ME SUGAR.
