stellar_muddleCurious (but cute), the local rosellas appear to be acquiring the open window balancing trick off the cockatoos. As long as they don't acquire the _picking out the rubber from around the aluminium window frames_ habit. And now they are playing musical window ledges...:)
Strangely bouncy today, after being somewhat mopey for part of yesterday afternoon. Sometimes I think I am getting too invisable or just too good at blending into the walls. Sometimes I am ok with this, other times, less so. Yesterday afternoon tended rather towards the latter.
Hence (to a certain extent) the previous post. Obviously the camoflage is working, given the response rate (which today I am giggling over or at least quite matter-of-fact, but wouldn't have helped things yesterday). But it does lead to some interesting questions about LJ and reactions to/interactions within LJ (and eventually outside). How much is posting about letting lose information/opinions and how much is finding out other people's responses to them? How much do people care about comments, or the fact that people commented at all?
Also, looking at the meme aspect, what percentage of the memes going around are used to solicit responses? How much rely on the chainletter effect to propagate ie Comment here/do X, then post this in your LJ (often And the poster will have to reply with something) vs answer the questions and pass on to/pick on 5 friends vs straight quiz? The latter are tended towards the release info about you, whereas the former is about the response.
Just how tied up are we on the response/acknowledgement of our existance? Why does it give such a buzz and how addictive is it?
And will I get any responses to this..? (Allowing for the small number statistics factored in by a small audience pool and how their days are going and whether they managed to finish to the end of this post...)
Make someone's day and smile at them...
