hi mneylu and suicidal bunny! i saw you at shadowplay but didnt want to bother you because im shy and neurotic. next time ill say hi.
my friend neil was bemoaning how no one ever hit on him. M has been hit on several times at shadowplay, and the time before last some random guy came and sat down with me. well, someone was listening because as he was walking home at 3am, some guy hit on him.
this episode made me think of a call-center of the gods:
"All of our Gods and Goddesses are busy answering other prayers. ...Please continue to pray. Your worship is important to us."
of course, at the call-center of the gods, none of the really important gods ever answer the phone. instead the prayer lines are maned by demi-gods, minor gods and other supernatural religions beings. the call center is for prayers, curses, and moral advice. of course, you can never predict which minor god you will get, nor which religion this god happens to be from. its all totally random. hence prayers and curses going bizarrely wrong, and getting dubious advice, all the while thinking youre talking to the right person. eg:
(some christian guy)"my daughter is marrying someone i dont aprove of. what should i do?"
(some minor demon)"you should stone her to death. what a bitch!"
(some guy)"really?!"
(smd)"definately! thats within your rights."
(guy)"gee, thanks!"

I was suprised to see Nigel Bennet's name in the list of plays, but I don't think I'll be able to see his either.
