Humanoid everything
It has recently been weighing on my mind how annoying companies’ use of humanoid things is becoming. Everything imaginable has been given a human face or shape. If it’s an animal, one can rest assured that it’s been put on its hind legs (even if it has none) and given a smile. Every time I go for the box of cookies, I have to look at this dorky looking cookie sitting on its side, staring back at me with the cheesiest grin that makes me feel sick for eating it. Many will argue I simply resent the fun since I never had a childhood, but I don’t see how it can’t get annoying after a while.
I thought I’d get into the game and make something humanoid. The first thing that came to my mind was a toilet; how tempting it would be to give it some eyes and turn the bowl into a big gaping smile. But then I realized that had been done already. I had difficulty coming up with anything that had not been done before, so I ended up making a humanoid human face.

Sup William?
IB decided to pull a nosedive for a bit, so I thought I’d come annoy you here.
You prolly won’t even bother to look here. At least not for quite a while. But I gotta keep up that stalking persona somehow, don’t I ? =P

Of course I’ll look here; it emails me when people comment!
But you’re off topic. So come harass me on irc.initialized.org:6667 in #purezc. If you dare!

Sorry, I don’t have any IM clients installed - I can’t type fast enough to use em.
You should have a shoutbox or sommat here for this sort of thing.

IB’s back up now - I’ll bug you there.
You can delete this stuff - right?

If he gets a shoutbox, I want one too.

I can delete it, but I’m not sure I want to — this blog is dead enough that it doesn’t matter.

So then why did you scold me for being off-topic?

Dani: Did you post me some lovin’?
Yes, but I guess it’s a secret cuz it didn’t show up.
That’s why I prefer BBCode and preview windows like message boards have.
And I didn’t think image tags were permitted here, but hopefully they are.

Nope - guess not.
