A Dramatisation of My Thoughts, With Notes

by SaoirseIsASocialist @ Monday, 14. Jul, 2008 - 09:09:52 pm

Saoirse1: Oh, are we blogging, then?
Saoirse2: Yeah, well, it's been a week. I mean we really should have blogged on Thursday-
Saoirse1: Ah, yes, the Birthday. Are you mentioning that?
Saoirse2: Uh-huh. I thought I'd say something like: "I am now half-way to thirty; fuck."
Saoirse1: You like that line.
Saoirse2: I do. I think it's the semi-colon.
Saoirse1: I think it sounds kind of stupid, really. Crude.
Saoirse2: You middle-class snob!
Saoirse1: Do I really need to explain Marxism to you-
Saoirse2: Oh, God, no. I know about the means of production already.
Saoirse1: If you say so. Hey! Maybe we should blog that.
Saoirse2: A political blog?
Saoirse1: Yeah! Why not?
Saoirse2: Because it's boring, that's why. You just miss debate club.
Saoirse1: Yes; I do. But so do you.
Saoirse2: I miss the people. You just miss the arguments.
Saoirse1: And? As great as Bookmarks is, there's not much to argue about.
Saoirse2: God, you're obsessed.
Saoirse1: You like arguing!
Saoirse2: I like shouting. Not the same thing, you know. You're all into the way it has a logic to it. An emotional logic.
Saoirse1: Look, anyway, we're meant to be writing a coherent blog post.
Saoirse2: I hate it when people refer to commenting as "posting"... We should mention lunch with Dominic and Joshua's birthday party.
Saoirse1: Advertise the lasagna of Silva's? Sure. It was a nice meal. So was the dinner party.
Saoirse2: Oh my god, caterpillar cake!
Saoirse1: Yes, and the caterpillar cake. (Smiling)
Saoirse2: Patronising.
Saoirse1: Sorry. What else has happened? Oh! Book club!
Saoirse2: Yes, I can't believe we're in a book club. Sure is you.
Saoirse1: It was great! I mean, you liked seeing Sanna and Dominic, and don't go and tell me you hate reading now!
Saoirse2: Of course I don't. It was fun, yes.
Saoirse1: Anything else? We should probably introduce OtherDominic?
Saoirse2: Why? I've met him twice!
Saoirse1: That's true. And I guess we don't really introduce people on this blog.
Saoirse2: No, we don't.
Saoirse1: That's it, isn't it? Has anything else happened?
Saoirse2: Micheal Rosen came into the shop!!!
Saoirse1: Oh, yes.
Saoirse2: I'm still starstrucked.
Saoirse1: But that's it, right? My Week (edited edition), by Saoirse?
Saoirse2: Mm.
Saoirse3: Oh, God, now I have to make this coherent. Ah, fuck it, I'm too tired. And maybe it'll work to just literally show my thoughts.

NOTES: Not literally how I think, although I do sometimes get the two separate personalities that are me arguing. Obviously, I have not included suppressed thoughts, nor ones that aren't in words.

its sometimes called posting because of the http method called POST, used for when you send anything to a server, like when you comment on a blog, reply to a forum topic or make an online purchase.

when you play facebook pacman, it uses POST to send your score to the website.

I think saying "post" is more general then "comment", people who use post for all the things listed above seem to use it for when they comment too.

Thank you for that, Jakov, but does http really affect most people's general vocabularies? Really?

(Or is it just because sometimes the button says "post comment"? Maybe?)

"Comment", as a verb or a noun, is much more specific and useful than "post", which, in this context, tends to mean something else entirely.

Dominic1: Blogging gimmicks! I love these!
DominicA: Tell me about it *rolls eyes*
Dominic1: You can't talk, you obscure Futurama reference you
DominicA: Sorry. Any opinions on the Great Posting Controversy?
Dominic1: Of course - since when do we not have opinions? You post a blog post (*not* 'a blog') but you leave or add a comment, I suppose.
DominicA: What about Jakov's HTTP point?
Dominic1: That's ridiculous. Does he talk about GETting a post to read?
DominicA: You'd have to ask him...
Dominic1: It would be easier than trying to get inside his HEAD.
DominicA: OK, stop now.

I KNOW!!! And he signed this poster near me!!!

This is because Saoirse1 represents my sensible,logical, calm, political side, and Saoirse2 the wild(ish), impulsive, stupid, crude side.

Saoirse3's the voiceover girl. She just says whatever sounds good.
