RE: The 28 Minute, Five Minute Freewrite ~ The Elusive Concept of 'Discord' ~ Original Photography and Original Story ~
A very interesting approach to discord. I love the innocent and safe world you paint with tiled basements the playroom for father's display of one of his hobbies and the living room a space for passing a boring but wonderfully nostalgic night with the family in eggshell white, flowered curtains, and electrical mayhem.
Apropos of nothing, when I first saw your response to the cat-bot, I knew we'd be fast friends. As, the first time I encountered a bot, I too had a bit of a 'discord' with him as well. And often when I am chatting on a discord channel, a bot will appear saying, 'dds has earned lever 5' or some such, I cannot help but interact with the thing. It's either years of being taught boring WASP manners or impish ways never 'ruled' out in the nursery. Either way, we'd be an unstoppable delightful duo on any discord channel (how's that for illteration?)
You earned lever 5? But you haven't even thrown levers 2 - 4 yet! Do you even know what these levers do?
Oh dear, not dreaded lever 5...
My dad was good at some mayhem. Don't think he ever really grew up. Maybe that's where I get some of my view on life.
It always tickles me when you enjoy these romps through memoryville. They are fun to write as well.
As for responses, we must have had the same teacher. Be it out of impishness or proper manner-ly-isms, I am so inclined as well. Though it's also just darn fun to respond. I am SO bummed CatFacts has gone away. I'm down to re-replying to older ones. I even wrote to the author and asked if I could get more. No response came back. It saddens me.
This discussion sounds familiar. Have I told you that before, about CF? I spout so much 'brilliance' hack hack, on here, that I forget where I've been. And as to where I'm GOING? HA. Never HAVE had a handle on that slippery little guppy.
I must look into Discord again. I signed up, but never really went back. Need some work on process again. SO compu-literate. But that might be fun. Maybe we'd become famous...then again, maybe we'd be dis-invited on the channel. DDS and DDA take up all the bandwidth. Whatever that means. Well, have a peachy day.
