OMG! LONG LOST TWINS!!
I'm getting a little tired of LJers who can't spell and try to cover it up by consistently spelling wrong so we'll think all of it is intentional.
"Luk at me. Im a bisy persin. i typ wery fast bcoz im wery wery bisy. i kant b botherd wit speling 'n' shit. Hehehe"

Whenever I find out that two people have the same birthday I immediately think "OMG! LONG LOST TWINS!!". Just the same day-of-month and month. Not even the year. And I think "OMG! LONG LOST TWINS!!". It's a really stupid thought actually and I realise it when the moment has passed but before that happens, it's "OMG! LONG LOST TWINS!!". It doesn't matter if one person is thirty and the other sixty. I still think "OMG! LONG LOST TWINS!!". Some faulty wiring in a particular part of my brain, I think.

Is it me or are lj-memes getting goofier? So goofy, in fact, that I'm beginning to like it. Some of these memes are like a parody of the whole meme culture: Top ten trivia tips (My God!), Dear Cupid and that Quiz (Click here - Take the quiz - Post your results) where the questions don't even try. I think someone who hates memes is responsible for this new wave of memes, and is doing it as a joke. But I am liking it.

Beware of managers who insist that their projects have a lot of challenging work. Testing the effects of sleep deprivation on one's own body is challenging. Be wary of those who use the word interesting too.

Some of them are so out-of-touch with reality that they think people get off on hard work.
"This is a very good project to join. It involves a lot of hard work. You'll love it."
"If I want to work harder, I'll get myself a second job (and I'll have twice my current income). Thanks for the offer though."

Here's something that has always confused me: The idea that people who commit suicide are insane. Or foolish. Or are out of their senses.
My uninformed opinion:
It takes a certain level of insanity (aka optimism) to not commit suicide. Why go through the motions of life and then die? End it now. Life is just a lot of hardship and the occasional orgasm.
I really think that rational people (the ones who can look at the world, at themselves objectively and make rational decisions) are the ones who end their own lives. These are the people who realise that there is no point.
It is the survival of the dumbest when it comes to suicide, and maybe that is why irrationality (aka religion) and a belief that something more than the material world exists has survived through the ages.
That felt good. Jabs at religion are always fun. (You fucking loons.)

Idea for a T-Shirt:
On the front: Life is just a lot of hardship and the occassional orgasm.
On the back: If you aren't fucking Jessica Alba, End it. Now.
