- 14:33:29: The lovely @stephenfry has given his support to A Day In Hand. I first heard of it about a year ago, and love how simple & powerful it is.
- 14:36:25: A Day In Hand is about sshh, same-sex hand-holding. You hold hands with your partner or friend in public.
- 14:39:06: A Day In Hand is taking place on the 28th, saturday. It's done more than once a year, not sure how often exactly.
- 15:31:14: They fillet you like a fish, then complain you don't have a spine. You fear the sting of the slap if you dare to speak your mind.
- 16:13:04: @random_nexus I have this horrible condition that causes me to believe I'm a poet. So sorry to splash that on you...
- 16:25:30: @random_nexus I find it helps drain the cynical pus if it's put to music. XD I'm proud of the first bit, actually.
- 16:27:15: @random_nexus Actually, that line was inspired by a Jooster fic! You know, everyone kicks Bertie down, and gripes he won't stand up.
- 16:29:15: @random_nexus It almost sounds like something he would say, if he could be bitter and self aware....
- 16:36:45: @random_nexus You know, this reminds me of a small incident with my writing...
- 16:39:38: @random_nexus My coworkers have noticed me scribbling during breaks.
- 16:41:26: @random_nexus They asked me a question, adding, 'you have to know the answer, you're the smartest one here. You write stories'
- 16:42:29: @random_nexus I told them that being able to write doesn't mean I'm smart, it means I can hold a pen!
- 16:46:53: @random_nexus Writing is more of an affliction, really. About 1% of the vomit it induces is ambrosia...
- 16:50:22: @random_nexus I find it depressing that reading and writing is considered impressive in any way....
- 16:55:08: @random_nexus still.... There are plenty of young fans of Stephen Fry, and the Internet does mean people write more...
- 16:56:41: @random_nexus a lot of the writing is shit, but practice makes improvement.
- 17:10:08: @storyfan Hmm. I went to town to go interneting. For much the same reason.
- 17:12:36: @storyfan Just be as lovely as you can. You can be her friend, at least.
- 17:15:49: @storyfan In my case, I really had no friends at all until I was about thirteen. We were all the nerds that got stuff chucked at us...
- 17:16:53: @storyfan But at least we had each other, all four of us. ...I'm not helping, am I?
- 17:19:33: @storyfan Anyway, she'll be alright, I'm sure. Tell her Internet friends count, they can count for a hell of a lot.
- 17:24:18: @storyfan never discount an opportunity for emotional connection.
- 17:26:12: @storyfan I'm only a handful of years past where she is, I understand her mindset.
- 17:27:38: @storyfan tuck in, be delicious.
- 17:30:06: Speaking of delicious, my favorite word of the moment is 'pomplemousse'. It feels good in my mouth. Innuendo is intentional.
- 17:32:20: I think I spelled that wrong, but I mean the French word for 'grapefruit'.
- 17:33:28: @random_nexus I simply enjoy the feel of saying it. It makes my tongue tingle.
- 17:34:54: @random_nexus got a good one? What makes you shiver today?
- 17:39:28: @random_nexus Had to look that one up! Ooh, like that one!
- 17:42:01: @random_nexus Now, for meaning over sound, I like 'limerence'. It's the insanity and confusion caused by love.
- 17:44:36: @random_nexus Though, it has a rather good sound, too. They Might Be Giants taught me that word. :D
- 17:46:15: @random_nexus It's an obscure psych term, I can't find it in any dictionary. I had to google it.
- 17:47:47: @random_nexus TMBG are clever and joyous.
- 17:50:10: @random_nexus wikipedia: coined in 1977 by Tennov
- 17:51:45: @random_nexus Damn, how do TMBG find out about this stuff?
- 17:56:15: @random_nexus have you read Stephen Fry's The Liar? Love's unhealthy insanity is called 'lib'. 'I was in 'lib' with you.'
- 17:58:16: @random_nexus Well, a real word exists for it! 'You make me limerent.'
- 18:01:11: @random_nexus Its used that way amongst fluffettes, but it really means what limerence means. Love that causes obsession, stupidity.
- 18:02:59: @random_nexus ...you know, unless Stephen listens to TMBG, he might actually not know the word. Disturbing thought.
- 18:05:31: @random_nexus Exactly! Limerence is the kind of love that makes movies and pop hits and Romeo and Juliet. It's marvelous and dangerous.
- 18:14:08: @stephenfry I have a lovely word for you. 'Limerence'. The state of insanity and confusion caused by intense love.
- 18:15:24: @random_nexus I'm trying to write a musical, and one of the songs I'm struggling with revolves around that word.
- 18:17:29: @random_nexus the musical is called 'the know-it-all' He uses and abuses his intelligence to hide his intense insecurity.
- 18:19:18: @random_nexus 'i'm too clever and cowardly for my own good and I never speak directly though I know I should...'
- 18:19:54: @random_nexus '....so I say you make me limerent.'
- 18:23:50: @Kakareen I'll have too look at your poem tomorrow, my various devices are nearly dead of battery.
- 18:25:14: I'd get a car charger for this thing, but I'm afraid I'll then end up sitting here for ten hours and won't be able to start my car.
- 18:28:23: @random_nexus I desperately want to finish something, I've started so much, you know? I keep getting stuck. I have 1/10 of holmes musical...
- 18:30:06: @random_nexus I've finished a few fanfics, but that's really not good enough.
- 18:31:42: @random_nexus I feel like I can't write more than 500 words worth of anything. Dammit, I'll write something tonight!
- 18:33:40: @random_nexus I do feel very chatty today. I ought to see if I can talk to a page for awhile.
- 18:35:08: @random_nexus you know those coworkers of mine? They later asked me, have you published anything?
- 18:36:22: @random_nexus when I said 'no', they said, 'why not?'. I couldn't come up with a decent answer.
- 18:37:55: @random_nexus it's a damn good question. That does it, I'm off to create. Toodle-pip!
- 18:39:31: @random_nexus yes, but I've never even *tried*, that's what stabbed me as nonsense. What's to lose?
- 18:40:38: @random_nexus anyway, yes, live to the fullest, etc., bai bai!

- 17:11:26: @strawberrysgirl Memes can do that. Reality is unrealistic.
- 17:14:18: @stephenfry I think you like darts more than you like Wagner!
- 17:26:23: Okay, fine, I don't like Twilight either, but I'm also sick of people thinking they are being impressive by complaining about it.
- 17:26:44: .... And I would k
- 17:28:40: And I would like to apologise for being one of those people once.
- 17:32:09: @strawberrysgirl I haven't seen much on Twitter, but on LJ and a few webcomics I follow, even South Park. It's gotten old.
- 17:33:55: @missmercyb more recently, there was a BBC radio drama of J & W.
- 17:35:21: @storyfan heya! Don't scrape your nose on that grindstone!
- 18:04:33: @missmercyb "The unpleasantness may be due to the cyanide, madam."
- 18:10:38: @missmercyb :D Hey, it's Jeeves. The only way the coffee could taste bad is if it's meant to!
- 18:22:26: Dammit, I want a Jones soda. Like, NOW. And have no real way of acquiring one.
- 18:22:41: :(

- 21:07:54: @waqaychay late reply: oh, they are divine! They really hit the spot when I ran out of Holmes canon. I haven't heard the audio, though.
- 21:10:58: @MarcyRubin oh, I do that all the time. I hate making people worry. I hide even more around people who know... #bipolar
- 21:12:24: @missmercyb Buffy reference! That's ten points! :D
- 21:15:59: @hughsbeautiful oh no! D: Maybe it'll still be on the online version?
- 21:17:58: @MarcyRubin Exactly. It seems easier than having to see 'that look'. But hiding does make it worse sometimes.
- 21:26:30: @MarcyRubin I have a friend who suffers from depression, and so she 'gets it'. Takes me seriously without freaking out.
- 21:43:54: @MarcyRubin there is a support group, but Ive been unable to attend yet, I'm always working when they meet...coworker invited me.

- 23:35:54: Has anyone read the Oscar Wilde mysteries by Giles Brandreth? I love so much, but hardly anyone has heard of them.
- 23:37:37: @random_nexus I think we can all agree that main advantage we have over other species is thumbs.
- 23:38:22: @random_nexus Maybe a bit more curious and clever, but mostly it's the thumbs.
- 23:49:56: @supertamsf she is a misguided little duckie, that Prejean. She also has a weird name. I wonder what it means to be 'pre- jean'?

- 17:38:26: @chaoticchaos13 Well, there you are, then. I KNEW that study was bunk. Now I'm annoyed they teach it in school.
- 18:02:02: @Fryphile the daily mail just claimed in a recent article that Stephen is leaving for America, citizenship and all. I doubt it, but....
- 18:04:32: @Fryphile ....as an American, I am excited by the idea. But one must consider the source. They've extrapolated from the Ferguson interview.

- 21:12:46: You know what has always bothered me about that music and plants study? The one that 'proves' rock n roll is bad for you?
- 21:14:05: I don't recall the music ever being specified. Just 'rock' and 'classical'. Well, hold on....
- 21:16:32: Is 'rock' the Beatles or Led Zeppelin?Is 'classical' Bach or Wagner?
- 21:19:27: I can't imagine a vulnerable bean sprout responding better to 'Ride of the Valkyries' than to 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'.

- 17:51:35: @thebilly you've got it wrong. A no brainer is a problem that requires a zombie for the solution.
- 18:11:10: @thebilly in some cases, yes. But often a rental, or a frozen one from the supermarket will do in a pinch.
- 18:12:46: @monirobot whoa, what happened?
- 18:17:10: @stephenfry they never listen, do they?
- 18:34:12: Something is wrong with the music! 'Bill Murray' keeps repeating! #frys

- 15:14:32: Hello, after that whole incident, I felt it best to just go home. It was terribly embarrassing.
- 15:23:02: @storyfan I left straight after I posted that last night. Too flustered by it all.
- 15:27:07: @storyfan but three separate emergency vehicles showed up! First responder, police car, and abulance.
- 15:29:17: @storyfan last night, when someone called 911 thinking I was dying in my car.
- 15:30:06: @storyfan I know! Why didn't they tap the window or something?
- 15:31:12: @Kakareen I can tell you, the 911 folks were just as flummoxed on that point.
- 16:16:56: @missmercyb it doesn't have to be my fault to be embarassing.#-_-#
- 16:28:24: @stephenfry ok, I now believe you're feeling better. *grin* You're adorkable, really.
- 17:32:14: Just watched the Intelligence Squared debate, EXCELLENT. 'Is The Catholic Church A Force For Good?'
- 17:34:14: Yes: archbishop of Nigeria and Anne Widicombe No: Stephen Fry and Christopher Hitchens

- 20:11:47: @happymrlocust I'm glad to have read 1984, but I don't think I would read it again. It left me rather depressed.
- 20:19:21: @strawberrysgirl they ought to be AT LEAST half and half, but there are always more men than women at those damned things.
- 20:23:01: RT @FereJohn Last few days to vote for Stephen Fry as a Changemaker on Change.org http://bit.ly/KnWdB
- 20:23:52: @FereJohn didn't see your message till just now, I'm afraid. RTed.
- 20:26:15: @happymrlocust a lot of the scifi classics are really bleak like that. Brave New World, for example.
- 20:28:19: @happymrlocust but I guess the reason they are classics is for what they say about humanity and society, which is unlikely to be cheerful.
- 21:00:10: Some one thought I was dead in my car or something and called 911. I leaning towards the dashboard to improve my wifi signal.

- 16:27:17: @stephenfry I've had to take a break myself when I got depressed. Please come back when you are able.
- 16:29:14: @stephenfry No matter what a few twazzocks say, I think you're lovely. You've helped me be a better, happier person.
- 16:32:36: @alandavies1 kind of an odd thing to say, but if you're able, could you call up Stephen and tell him a joke or something?
- 16:35:59: I'm sure he'll be alright, but seeing as how I was horribly depressed myself a few weeks ago, I'm worried about @stephenfry
- 16:38:17: @alandavies1 OH! Thanks so much! I feel like I can relax, now. :)
- 16:45:23: @fryphile I've *just* come out of a depressive ep, so I'm a bit tangled up for him.

- 20:26:41: @Fryphile delayed reply: hell, I had to do something!
- 22:12:33: @storyfan sometimes, it does work that way, though. Jack and Gwen = Gwack. Horrible names for horrible pairings
- 22:15:36: @stephenfry You deserve to have bad days like the rest of us. We don't expect you to always do a happy monkeydance. Sending you love!
