An IM conversation with John Dick:Obviously, he later rescinded his childish objections to becoming famous.alperabut: you know what causes me pain? jdsd525: Your blog addiction. alperabut: friends that start conversations with "You can't blog this..." alperabut: and then proceed to give me verbal gold jdsd525: Sounds more like you love it. alperabut: no, I frigging hate it because I know it would make a great piece of writing and I'll forget it eventually, so the universe loses another wasted piece of mental energy alperabut: I came up with a compromise that seems to work, journalist-style - "what if I blog it and credit it to anonymous?" alperabut: that separates the real secrets from just plain embarrassing gossip jdsd525: Oh man. You're going to end up killing yourself when you get a realistic perspective on blogs. jdsd525: Talk about wasted mental energy. alperabut: stop it alperabut: there you go again jdsd525: Ok... jdsd525: I'll be nice... alperabut: I know, try jdsd525: Ready? alperabut: ok, commence niceness jdsd525: I'm going to make your day. alperabut: hit me jdsd525: These thoughts you're expressing to me now... jdsd525: BLOG THEM! alperabut: ah haha, that was genius alperabut: !!! alperabut: I shall do just that jdsd525: It can't make up for all the gold you loose but you can get at least one post out of it. alperabut: can I credit this conversation to you? jdsd525: No. jdsd525: I'm always off the record. alperabut: DAMN YOU AND THE HEAVENS ABOVE!!! alperabut: ok, ok jdsd525: Lol.
