cblj_backupThe army doesn't hire mechanics, private!
They hire Fleet Technical Support Specialists!
I swear I am not making that up.
Also, I'm not a big fan of the "say ten nice/nasty/neurotic things about your flist or people on your flist" memes, because, well, it just throws people into confusion and when your friended to friend-of ratio is 1:15 it reads as elitist.
Commentary post-hack: As of October 2008, my friended to friends-of ratio is 1:23.
But I like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cluegirl's idea of saying ten things to ten people who are not on your flist and, ideally, who do not even know your journal exists.
1. Please Stop Capitalising Every Word In Every Sentence You Write Before I Forcibly Take Away Your Shift Key.
2. Not to judge you morally, because I'm okay with it if you are, but if you're taking money in return for sex you are performing acts of prostitution. You ought to at least call it what it is, if you really aren't ashamed of it.
3. I know you're married now and neither of us are sixteen anymore but I think you should know that if you offered I would totally still commit adultery with you. And you are the only person I can say that about.
4. Okay, you can complain the room is dim if the blinds aren't open or you can complain that open blinds let out the air-conditioning but you cannot do both in a single week.
5. I would marry you purely for your ability to make moist butter cookies.
6. Oh my god, please bathe. Please, please, please bathe.
7. Don't think I didn't notice that you never cashed my postdated check. I promise I'm paying it forward.
8. You are proof that there can be Crazy Dog Ladies as well as Crazy Cat Ladies, and that is why I love you.
9. You have no idea how badly I wanted to work for you or what a fabulous opportunity you missed in ME.
10. Thank you for making her laugh.
