scribbles and lies - Mark your calendars: January 27th is Rabbit Hole Day

Jan. 2nd, 2005

06:26 pm - Mark your calendars: January 27th is Rabbit Hole Day

A few months ago, I had a dream in which LiveJournal and everyone on it went completely nuts for a day. The entire world had turned upside-down and inside-out and nobody was their normal self anymore. And it was such a good read, that I think it should happen for real.

January 27th is the birthday of Lewis Carrol, author of ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND. Alice fell down a rabbit hole into a place where everything had changed and none of the rules could be counted on to apply anymore. I say, let's do the same: January 27th, 2005 should be the First Annual LiveJournal Rabbit Hole Day. When you post on that Thursday, instead of the normal daily life and work and news and politics, write about the strange new world you have found yourself in for the day, with its strange new life and work and news and politics. Are your pets talking back at you now? Has your child suddenly grown to full adulthood? Does everyone at work think you're someone else now? Did Bush step down from the White House to become a pro-circuit tap-dancer? Did Zoroastrian missionaries show up on your doorstep with literature in 3-D? Have you been placed under house arrest by bizarre insectoid women wielding clubs made of lunchmeat?

Let's have a day where nobody's life makes sense anymore, where any random LJ you click on will bring you some strange new tale. Let's all fall down the Rabbit Hole for 24 hours and see what's there. It will be beautiful.

------
For consideration: this only works if you spread the word, of course, but three and a half weeks is forever in LJ Meme Time.

Rabbit hole

(Link)

I added you to my friend list so I could participate. I heard about it from karnythia.

So, my boy toy shows me the most annoying clip on line. A guy hears this song. He asks him roommate if he hears it too. Roommate says no. Roommate gets sick of him asking. He twitches a lot and dies. Then roommate hears is too. Goes crazy. Kills other roommate. Clip ends. How does the song go you ask? "Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring. Banana phone. Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring Banana phone." I trip an fall into the rabbit hole. Every thing looks like a Van Gogh painting. Pretty. The girl from last rant, we will call her Piglet for now, is walking around singing, you guessed it Banana Phone. I choke slam her. Ooopps her head popped off. I put it on a spike in my yard in warning. Yeah! Rabbit hole spits me back out. I still have a smile on my face.

Slightly offensive. Watch out. Really funny

rabbit hole day ?

(Link)

January 27 is the birthday of my first husband, alas he turned out not to be nearly as interesting as Mr Carroll.

In fact the animal I would prefer to nominate as a mark of remembrance of the anniversary of my ex's birth also has extremely long ears. It has four feet, is an ungulate, but unfortunately its tail is somewhat long and stringy rather than short and fluffy.

In short, it's this animal I have in mind.

But really, I'm much too nice to say so.

Wow. you sure do have a LOT of friends.

In the rabbit hole,they have tails, don't they?

For years I've been having sex at a place called AS YOU WISH. It's a sexual fantasy warehouse.

No REAL relationships out there in the world for me. (At least I haven't TRIED any)
But it's ok. The sex in that place is fine. You pull up scenarios...like, you know..."C2 please and I would like Lonnie as my partner".

I've been to three doctors in my adult life. Three doctors three opinions BUT one part is the same in three prognoses. NOT OPERABLE. Too much of *this* intermingled with too much of *that*.

I've had all clothing altered and in my adult life I have to finally come to the realization that my...um...problem...will be forever visible to the world.

And FORGET a man to love me for what I am. I, MYSELF, wouldn't even love me.

But no worries. Lonnie is sturdily built and has a good sense of humor. AND he doesn't mind when I ask for him more than once at AS YOU WISH.

Did I forget to say...?
My caudal appendage is VERY rare. That distinction doesn't help me get dates.

My FL has quite a few people doing it, too.

This is great fun. Here's to a yearly tradition!

Copying my entry, because it's a friends-post. It might help to know that my husband works for Seattle Opera:

My morning email came down the chimney, today, which I thought was funny, because we didn't have a fireplace last night when I went to bed. I found a group of fruit flies passed out on the windowsill next to my half-full glass of wine leftover from dinner, as if I hadn't told them time and again not to do that on a school-night.

I decided to forego my usual yogurt and made eggs for breakfast, because they were squeaking "me, me!" when I opened the fridge. I don't think they like being inside the cardboard carton. The yolks floated above the whites on my plate like a rainbow-slick of oil on the water.

Luke called during his break. Brunhilde had come by on her horse, this morning, and taken the crew out to breakfast. A ring of fire surrounded the diner as they ate hashbrowns and strawberry shortcake. Sometimes I really envy him his job.

Cute entries. I liked the lye/lie bit. Mind if I write that down in my journal? (my paper one, i mean)

Oh, and you've made the comments friends only, so I'm replying here.

My apologies to crisper, who is brilliant for having this idea. ;)
