It's International Intrigue by a Nose!

It's International Intrigue by a Nose!
Which I suppose indicates that three votes equals a nose. Some noses I've seen are worth a hell of a lot more than three votes. I had a date with an Italian girl from Pittsburg once, and I want to tell you, her nose....but that's another story. It did tickle me though.

So! The topic of the Twelfth Virtual Symposium will be International Intrigue, whatever that is. I reckon it has more to do with noses than you might sniff out at first whiff. And THAT reminds me of a joke told just today by my sweet friend and sweet blogger sweet_VM, in her post A few laughs I sure needed this one today. It's about a man and a woman in an elevator. So this is something of a double pimping. She's Canadian, and that's another story, and another country too, so there's your international intrigue for you right there!

Anyway, the purpose of this post is to inform folks that a topic has been chosen for the Twelfth Virtual Symposium, and it's international intrigue. The virtual symposia are the invention of another sweet friend (He'll bridle at being referred to as "sweet" here, and that's reason enough to do it.) That friend is humorlife. Any blogger who wishes to participate can post on the topic in any fool way he or she wants- in posey, prose, pictorially or in video. If you can figure out a way to do it mathematically, go for it. My old friend normalisoktoo could probably have pulled that one off, but he hasn't been seen much around here lately. I sure miss him , and I wonder who'll take up the slack and respond numerically. Or algebraically.

At any rate, The Virtual Symposium Returns Lets Pick A Topic. Visit humorlife and read the details for yourself. It's an easy and entertaining thing to do. We write our posts and then spend a few days burning our eyeballs reading the other bloggers' posts. We scramble to respond to the comments others make on OUR posts- if we get any comments. But we will get comments! This is a terrific exercise in building a community of thought here. We share ideas and chew the fat about those ideas. We laugh and think and scratch our heads, like: "What the fuck is this... individual... getting at?" And all the while we are meeting new people and getting to know them a little better. It's the best thing to happen since the invention of the free porn video clip.

humorlife, The Virtual Symposium Returns Lets Pick A Topic

And one more thing- it took me til the next day to realize that I had pasted the link to the wrong post! And even nightsoul1962 didn't give me a heads up on it! The blog is humorlife but the post is Unknown. You can get there with either post, but Unknown is the correct one, so visit Unknown instead.

 Thank you! And... I should really get better at keeping up with comments (and other correspondence) myself, so I am simultaneously pimped and chagrined!

But what, no mention of your usual potential benefit of being a symposium contributor?

And you are correct: I not only bridle at the adjective you've saddled me with, but do wish you'd take a different tack... which, I reckon, will only spur you on.

A most recalcitrant lot, these bloggers...

I, for one, don't envy you for dealing with all of us, little and not so little divas.

But, you do it so well.......

'Cause you're all worth it!

And you'd be surprised at how relatively small the symposium diva population is, compared with, say, the real world. Folks really do get that this is a communal effort...

Within the symposium, we've created a community of very supportive folks. And that ain't my doing: That's everyone else!

The benefits are manifold and very pleasant. It's just been a heap of fun and a learning experience for me. How can you have more fun than while learning and meeting entertaining and sexy new people? I can't thank you enough!

As for keeping up with comments and correspondence, we all fail at that occasionally. Shit happens. I used to watch nearly two hundred blogs and tried to comment on all of them, but it turned out to be too much. I just couldn't keep up. I had bitten off more than I could chew. It wasn't on purpose, and when I had to cull some of those blogs to make it more manageable, it really was wrenching. I had picked those blogs to watch because they had shown some very cool stuff and I didn't want to give then up. And if you're a blogger and a watcher stops commenting or even stops watching, you wonder why, and you wonder what you've said to piss them off. But it usually isn't anything like that- life simply gets in the way, and you get busy with it.

Well, you know, there are divas here, and a few Adonises (Should that be Adoni? I never learned any Greek, just Latin.) But there are also some lost souls who don't know yet which way they're going to turn. This is really kind of a halfway house for the lovelorn, or at least the terminally horny. But later, they will remember this place and if we play our cards right, they'll remember it with a smile, or a broad grin. That just warms the cockles of my heart!

*Laughing* I actually had in mind your oft-stated observation that the symposium is a good way to meet other bloggers and possibly fuck them.

As for being overwhelmed by the bogosphere... I am very fond of quoting a wise man who once said "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."

Long story short: All are welcome to participate in the symposium any way they choose, whether by contributing or leaving comments or just reading and enjoying. It's all valid.

I'm not superstitious or obsessive compulsive, but I like to keep my comment count even in number. Not that I'm a fucking diva. I've worked with a few dickless divas who were masquerading as males. You are correct- writers can be insufferably egocentric, especially when they identify as writers or artists. I think we had a similar discussion once before, about tortured writers "creating' versus the craftsmen who crank out copy daily and hit a zone now and then where the prose flows (That's poetry right there) and they find they have channelled a damn good piece.

(Sorry, had to step outside and let the dogs out for a few minutes.)

Terminally horny lost souls? That's not really a new concept, they represent good portion of this site's population. Divas and God's-gifts-to-humanity take great chunk of it too. Thankfully, not all of them blog, and even less participate in symposia.
Still, organizing this crowd and dealing with site's never ending issues - it is a lot! Add to that divas of all genders - and it could become overwhelming.

Wuuf! She let the dogs out! So did I but I walked Gracie in the driveway. If I let her go in the yard she'll start barking. She's a coward. She'd never bite anything, but she makes a lot of noise not doing it. Rocky, on the other hand, killed quietly and quickly. He would never have suffered a woodchuck to enter my garden, let alone raid it. As he got older, he'd make a quick step in a rabbit's direction and be content to watch them run. When he got even older, he quit looking at them altogether, pretending he just didn't notice them. It's hell to get old.

I think blogging is not such a bad way to work out your kinks, diva or not. It can get a bit tiresome for old timers who think they've already been there, done that, but we were all new here once. I do agree with you though- there are some egos and ids on the loose here. I blame marketing. The site promotes this place as a cum rag for men with zero social skills. It COULD be a learning experience for both sexes, instead of sink or swim on your own, but there is just no guidance for the troglodytes, except for the tough love they get from the female members, and men are awfully resistant to learning from mere women.

I'm house/dog sitting for Mari. Her dogs rarely bark and mostly at people who try to talk to them through the fence. Squirrels provide endless entertainment for them, they'd run after a squirrel but wouldn't bark. Thor, the pug, is the leader of the pack. He isn't a hunter but runs after a squirrel just to scare it off of his territory. They're fun to watch. I miss having dogs.

I blame marketing too for the invasion of hapless fools. They either learn quickly or leave the site. Every month there's new wave and everything starts over again. I'm very grateful for auto-reply feature. It saves me time and aggravation. I feel sorry for other women who don't use it.
You were right when said that highly creative people like artists and writers are high maintenance. I know, I was married to one for almost a decade. I recognize the familiar behavior in some people, but if they write well it's all worth it.

They make it worthwhile to read their stuff, but living with them...oy vey! PD is less compelled to write now than when she was more troubled, and she also thinks she's less creative. There was an urge to vent, to try to explain why she was as she was that isn't quite the same now. It's not like that with me- I'm simply a pleasure to be around at all times!

And thanks for pumping up my comment count. We also have a lot of beer left to drink.

HaI That's what NaughtyInSO said, too. Frankly, I didn't think it through. I've read some hilarious bad porn, some of it purpose bad and some of it just clumsy and, well, bad. But I'm beginning to think we might have dodged a bullet, too. Hell, there's a bad porn story right there! Dodging a cumshot facial! "I heard it whistle past my ear and splat against the wall behind me, and breathed a sigh of relief! He had missed me again, and I'd live to see another sunrise without my eyes full of semen, even though my jaw was aching and my lips were worn raw!"

I might write about her sometime, but we really didn't hit it off. She was a fairly devout Catholic. I thought she was nuts and she considered me blasphemous. Go figure- me, fucking blasphemous!

There's no shame in being Canadian. Some of my best friends are Canadian!

Yeah, I think I'm beginning to agree on the bad erotica. That might have turned out to be torture on a site wide scale. The place would have had to hire a therapist.
