greybeta: (D2 Icon - Kat)
[Poet's note: D2 had to write five hundred words of lavishing praise for Miss Kat, aka [livejournal.com profile] zarhooie. She made him the icon you see used for this entry. Pretty cool D2 icon, eh? According to alchemy's law of equivalent exchange, D2 has to give something free in exchange for a free icon. There's a Vietnamese proverb that says, "Words are free, so why don't we choose to give each other pleasant words?"]

From the land they call Scandinavia,
Comes an angelic Viking named Kat,
She of a last name too hard to say.
This epic poem will try to avoid rhyme,
For that would be too contrived,
For a person like Miss Kat.
Oh yes, D2 calls her that,
Because that is what she prefers to be called.

Last night, D2 wanted a “D2” icon,
So he called upon those with more Photoshopping skilz
Than the positive pessimist to make one.
He promised five hundred words to any friend
Who could deliver him an appropriate avatar.
Miss Kat thought this might be a good way
To get an ego boost from D2.
So she submitted an icon to him.

(Do you know it is too easy
To write unrhymed poetry?
You aren’t forced to think of forced words
To end endless lines of turds.
Five hundred words D2 must pen
Solely dedicated to praising the Augustanan.
Nope, Miss Kat won’t accept a single digression
As part of D2’s five hundred word dispensation.)

The icon was so good D2 had to approve.
Ah, but now Miss Kat wanted an ego boost.
Why shouldn’t D2 approve the request
Of a fellow Narcissist?
Narcissus loved himself in that one myth.
Since Greek myths were written in verse,
D2 then decided to laud Miss Kat
In an epic poem, for better or for worse.

(Now, look there is a place and time
When it’s appropriate to use rhyme.)

(If you study German opera to a T
You will have to study Richard Wagner.
Wait, wait, it’s Wagner,
With the W pronounced like a V.
He is most famous for the Nibelung Ring tetralogy,
It was time for the Norse gods to wane.
We learn about the “choosers of the slain”
Who are also known as Valkyrie)

D2 and Miss Kat met randomly.
It says so on Facebook.
Miss Kat commented on something he wrote.
D2 then friended her to improve his writing.
[livejournal.com profile] zarhooie made fun of [livejournal.com profile] greybeta on her LJ.
Then she realized half her friendlist read the positive pessimist.
She profusely apologized.
She swore to check mutual friends more.

So, what does D2 think of Miss Kat?
Honesty, she is a very special person.
The type of girl who will make a lucky guy
A wonderful, wonderful wife.
That’s because she knows how to cook
And is willing to answer D2’s cooking queries
Without making too much fun of him.
Will D2 ever find a girl like that back home?

Now, it’s true that D2 despises Miss Kat’s
Rather strange treehugging tendencies.
If Miss Kat could save a centenarian tree
By hugging it naked for three days,
Then she would do precisely that
Because she’s a very nice person.
By the way Miss Kat wants to randomly warn you…
“Don’t fry hamburgers naked!”

Miss Kat is too nice, really
Since she’d be ever so willing
To satisfy D2’s BDSM curiosities
If he was actually into BDSM.
She tests his patience with her wild sex stories
To the point where he threatens to hang up the phone.
She finds it all too funny
To make fun of a shy Baptist boy.

D2 and Miss Kat share a common bond
In that they both respect two great writers.
D2 of course respects his rodent sensei
While Miss Kat feels very close to ‘Song.
D2 and Miss Kat emulate their styles
Because they are both powerful in their own ways.
And while D2 hopes to meet The Ferrett in person,
Miss Kat has already had the pleasure of meeting ‘Song.

I believe I now only have thirty three words left.
Miss Kat, perk up.
Migraines suck!
But you don’t.
Because you are awesome!
A nurse!
An angel!
A very, very special friend!

Really.

Administration
Added a picture of myself to my user info. And a caption (that isn't quite a thousand words).

A picture is worth a thousand words
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Yes, I'm Asian. Seven-eights Vietnamese, one-eighth Chinese to be exact. Yes, I am wearing an "Eye of the Storm" University of Tulsa T-shirt. I currently attend and hope to graduate from the land of the Golden Tornado Hurricane. Yes, this picture was taken at a Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour Qualifier. I am a nerd and I like anime and video games as well. Yes, I am for some odd reason smiling in this picture. I am a positive pessimist after all. And yes, I do have a charming smile. I unfortunately am much too busy to entertain a ladyfriend at this jucture of my life.

Something that happened in my life
As Jacob-kohai would say, "Bloody feck!". An extended family member just came down with a severe mental illness. Must run in my family.

Random observation
Waking in the middle of your wisdom tooth surgery is a very, very painful experience.

I'd hyperventilate.

Then I'd try to scream...

OMG THE PAIN, THE PAIN! MAKE IT STOP!!!!@##$#%!@%!@^@!^@^&$!

No seriously, it would hurt.

So let's all take some and pray/give thoughts to those who experience such horrors.

Like a certain Polymer Potter friend of mine, bless her heart.

Random factoid
The capital of Namibia is Windhoek.

Verse of the Day
"But these things are written that you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name."
~John 20:31

Convos of the Day
Zen with the one handed drummer and Kat's theory on buying meat )

Quote of the Day
"Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose honest arrogance and have seen no occasion to change."
~Frank Lloyd Wright (you are an ignorant idiot if you do not know who Frank Lloyd Wright is...after you click the link)

Links of the Day
Dualistic Dissension points out that even Hell is God's domain. Well, it's true!

We see this theory at work, for example, in the genealogy of Jesus’ ancestors. They have been artificially grouped into three lists of 14 persons each (see Matthew 1:1-16). Why 14? Because the name "David" has the numerical value of 14. Counting the consonants only, D (Daleth ) was the fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and W (Waw) the sixth. David (D+W+D) therefore totalled 4+6+4=14. Oh so that's why Matthew made such a big deal about fourteen generations. I'd always wondered that. Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] thanoslug!

Sports Report
My prediction: Texas 45, USC 42.
Actual score: Texas 42, USC 38.

How I relax
I play the piano to relax. It forces me to focus on something else. Then when I memorize a song there will be background music to my random musings on life.

I am an insensitive, arrogant prick because...
I am a product of my environment. Observe D2, age ten...

D2: Mommy! Daddy! I got a 4.0! I got all A's!
Dad: Well, little boy, that's what we expect around here.
Mom: Yes, little boy. A is for average.

Question
Is it better to be honestly arrogant or hypocritically humble?
