But I've got promises to keep

My Dreamwidth Pledge to You (list in formation)

I will not tell people on LJ that my Dreamwidth user name is 'swinefluevog'.

I will not start a 'Ten things I assume you know about me post' with "I am a genetically engineered super ape (distantly related to Monsieur Mallah) who escaped from the Soviet space program at a tender age and led a fugitive existence in an Eastern European traveling circus until fleeing to America after the fall of the Berlin Wall."

I will not cross-post with comments disabled on LJ, only to edit the LJ post's 'comment on DW' link to Rickroll my hapless readers or redirect them to a random stranger's post.

I will not use however many Dreamwidth invite codes I receive to breed a mutant zombie robot army of sockpuppet journals to do my bidding, because they'll only achieve sentience and band together to turn on their creator in the end, and that would be very sad (for me).

ETA:
I will not suggest that people read me on Dreamwidth instead of LJ, despite the identical cross-posted content, if they prefer to follow the darker, edgier "reimagined" version of my journal.

Oh...that'd never occurred to me, but now I kind of want to do it.

Alas, April Fool's is past!

By the way, my second pledge was inspired by identifying with your frustration re: writing a "known or knowable things about me" post.

Can't be done! I mean, hell, I have enough trouble keeping my resume up-to-date.

Also, I am a genetically-engineered super ape. It's just that the mechanism of the engineering varied....;>

Hey, say no more! Personally, I just got tired of all the rumors that I'd been exposed to cosmic rays in my brief career as a cosmonaut, or that I was a guinea pig for a new formulation of Super Soldier Serum.

Now I feel like I'm oppressing you with my assumptions post!

Not at all! I just flailed in trying to come up with ten things that were both reasonable to assume that people reading my journal knew about me and, well, interesting enough to be worth knowing in the first place.

I always find those posts interesting when I see other people do them, but then when I think about them for myself, it's like uh...what could I say that isn't obvious from my posts anyway?

I'm just not that autobiographically inclined, so I can't think of ten things that it would be reasonable to assume that people know about me.

*snerk* For me, it was more that I looked at it and went, damn, how is it that C. can just sit down and do this shit in a reasonable and sense-making fashion? I can't do that....

I note that this is in no way a denial of that possibility, however. [Neuro-engineered research drones with subject-specific cognitive limits are literal-mind minded like that.]
