Second, third, second, and third thoughts again

in #life5 years ago

Apparently, 6 days is the time frame for coming full circle and rejoining a new online community.

Eighteen hours after submitting my introduction post, I put a dastardly hex on my pushy friend.

Don't worry. I have not one inclination of how to do a proper hex. I just told him I performed one in order to get a rise out of him. Neither the hex nor the intent-to-irritate worked.

Exactly 32 hours after that, I rolled my eyes as I found myself sitting in front of the computer, pulling up my secret passwords, and trying to remember which was the one to unlock the ability to write here again.

Posting. Yes.
If it were any more obvious, it would have been called the "Use this password to write on Steemit" key.

Had he not called my home at that very moment, I probably would have posted sooner. The annoying man-child had been spying on my new account, and rang to "double dog dare" me to write again.

I logged off out of spite. Spite can be a nasty wench, however.

I was finding that I was awfully curious about this world, and truthfully, I did want to write. The double dog dare hounded me (pun intended, of course), but I waited a full 22 hours more to begin jotting down my thoughts. God forbid he think that he be the one to spur me on to greatness.

Here I am, again. I'm sorry @thekittygirl, no cupcakes this time, but I did have a delightful peach dessert lately.

Now that I'm here, I am staring at the curious pattern in my wallpaper, hesitating and wondering what this post will add to the world. I imagine not much, but why should that stop me?

We are all neighbors on this strange little planet, and if we don't find small ways to communicate and influence one another, then I suppose we aren't much use to anyone.

Speaking of being useful, my pushy, man-child friend, if you are reading (and we both know you are) you could leave a comment and encourage me. It also wouldn't hurt you to put one of your famous, magnanimous large votes on this silly post, either. If I am here, you should be here too. @thekittygirl or @jamerussell will graciously teach me how to take your vote money out and I will treat both new friends to cupcakes. @crazy-unicorn, what do unicorns eat? We will eat magical food together and celebrate my pushy friend's generosity.

I will try to think of a more intelligent or intriguing post to share for next time. Since you spent the time reading this silliness, I need to leave you with something worthwhile.

I challenge you to give a thoughtful compliment to someone who doesn't expect it. Take the time to make their eyes light up and their cheeks blush. Admire something about them and make sure they believe you before you end the conversation. If you take the challenge, I would enjoy hearing about it in the comments.

Until we meet again.

Contrary to my instincts @stormcharmer, I went ahead and put your introduceyourself post in one of my series posts, so that others may learn the gentle charming way of writing a post up even if they have neighbors who drive them crazy with challenges! And those cupcakes are looking better all the time!!!
Please do not forget about @brittandjosie, she is my other half in making up those @heyhaveyamet posts, and she picked yours out for me to work up and post. After all, she deserves a cupcake too, along with @thekittygirl who we affectionately call Kittypedia, and if you came in and met her, you would understand why.
Tip: if you use the Keychain browser extension you can eliminate the hassle with the keys, you just set a password for the Keychain like we do, and it's easy peasy(to quote a really good friend!)
Till next post, full Steem ahead!

Thank you! a cupcake for @brittandjosie as well!

It will be a cupcake party

Thank you for the continued aid. You are quite the knight, Sir James.

Ahah, idk why but I love your writing style :)
And what do unicorns eat? I don't know. I mean... I'm a crazy one so... yeah, I wouldn't mind sharing a cupcake with you people :D

I know why!

I am secretly an insane pegasus.

Everyone knows that a crazy unicorn and an insane pegasus make the best of friends.

You shall have a cupcake with rainbow sprinkles; they are the choicest.

How are you, my friend? Time for you to post again soon? Then, I will come visit your blog.

I'm fine :)
I am currently writing my next post. But it is something very specific, a tutorial for some software of music production so not everyone might be interested :/ And it's very detailed so I don't want to rush it!
So yeah I'm still active, just not posting often ^^

I saw it and visited! :-)
