I really like those. Especially the blueberry one. :)

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Thank you :) But you didn't answer the question.

Good question.
My thoughts?
+ Shits 'n giggles.
+ In order to take over the world through some overly convoluted plan involving lasers and Mark Twain's head in a jar.
+ So that said friends and minions may make you never-ending amounts of blueberry scones, thereby possibly eliminating any grumpiness (assuming you'd prefer not to be), tailor you evil black suits and cool black contacts (freaky veins optional), genetically engineer you A ROG (angsty love also optional), who can wander about in the caveman fashion, therefore aiding (perhaps giving more than just 'a hand') your escape from (or to) real life.

I've either been drinking too much or too little caffeine today. Take your pick.

- Shits n giggles you can have with random acquaintances.

- I sort of gave up taking over the world. I mean, what would I do with it? Where would I put it?

- I don't actually eat blueberry scones. I don't look good in suits for more than ten minutes (after which I sort of sag into myself and look like a hobo put in a tux). I don't think I can handle contacts, despite the cool. And while I know in theory that I do like Methos, at the moment I feel complete lack of love.

- You can tell if you drank too much caffeine by the eyes. If the skin around your eyes feel stretchy, it means your eyes are very wide open and you had too much. If you can't really keep your eyes open for more than thirty seconds per round, you had too little.

Thank you for your answer!

Why win friends and influence people?
*confused* Are we supposed to?
I just thought it was bad fiction.
Also, I thought friend(s) is something that happens to you, you know, a bit like cats and falling in love. I never knew it was possible to win one. Apparently I've luckily been buying the wrong kind of lottery tickets. I prefer my own way.

*runs to you and hugs you*

*and then growls a little and runs back into angry!cave, before I forget*

[calime]

*puts on tin glove and pets very carefully*
Is the cave snug?

[zing_och.livejournal.com]

Well, how should I know? I don't! Want to influence people, that is. If I did, I'd be in charge by now. Ok, maybe not...

Winning friends is always good, though. They give you hugs. And cookies.

On the subject of winning friends, I'm with Calime. Wasn't aware they were on offer in a raffle. Wouldn't enter it if they were.

As for influencing people, well, it's something I get paid to do at work and, at least occasionally, have to do with household teenager if I want to at least pretend to be a responsible parent. Wouldn't mind if I could influence a lot of people to stop being bigoted, homophobic, flaming arseholes, but . . .

*hopes you are comfy in your angry!cave*

I like the icons.

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Seems like far too much work to put in, for to little gain.

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

No.
But arm bone between two rows of teeth - is snug.

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Thanks re icons.

So, that book should've been called "how to be a popular bitch and brainwash people into submission", then.

Hell, sounds better already.

[zing_och.livejournal.com]

sounds like it's a bad day for you. I'm sorry.

*hu... on second thought, throws you a cookie. From a distance.*

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Eh. Thanks hon.

[babydraco.livejournal.com]

Having friends is supposed to be fun. And influencing people is how you get things done.

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Is it fun?
And I don't have anything that needs getting done quite this desperately.

And on that topic/mood, chat's up.

Why win friends and influence people?

Coz it makes life a little less bumpy?

Nah, scratch that - move over, I'm sure there's enough room in this cave for two :-P

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Seems like it makes life a hella lot MORE bumpy. And not the good kind of bumpy, either.

Your icon: *meganods*.

Why win friends and influence people?

Hmmm. Winning them? That makes it sound like you don't have to put any effort into the relationship, just grab and run like a meaty bone during a feeding frenzy. Real friends are there even when you're snarly or mean or sad or silent for a while because you just don't know what to say anymore.

And you can influence people just with a quiet hug. So *hugs*. Now I'll just go crawl back into my little cave for a while until I can smile again. Just remember, I'm still here, watching every little thing you do... Hee!

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Hon... you have real troubles, ones that exist outside your head. And you handle them like a strong, powerful person even.

So take your toes out of this messy puddle of a post. Go read ones with naked people frolicking in them.

[mischief5.livejournal.com]

So take your toes out of this messy puddle of a post.

Nope, not gonna. Cuz all troubles are real, inside your head or out. And hugs work on both. So *hugs* Big 'uns!

And, yeah, I'm reading pr0n right now. Feels good. :)

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

I want to write! *head go 'splodey*

[cinder1013.livejournal.com]

because winning friends is much easier than making them, which takes too much clay and time, and cheaper than buying them.

and influencing people to do my bidding is a pleasant past time. Otherwise my whips and chains would get all dusty and that just won't do.

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

I think I might like your answer best. The clay does it. You get much cookies. "How to win cookies and influence milk".

[cinder1013.livejournal.com]

yay! cookies! also worth winning, but those would also be worth making. Less work.

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

I have a small bit of clay. Maybe I make me a small friend.

But not in a creepy way.
