zhinxy at 06:00pm on 18/05/2009ow crazily weird and dumb and faily can I get even with all the crazy going on in my life right now, I don't even know...
10:24 PM me: ...I just realized I volunteered for something by accident...
That I would happily help with, but...
Okay, here's what happened, now how do I explain this...
10:25 PM amiangelwings: o.o
me: I had part of this linkspam post open, with like a thousand other firefox tabs because now that I'm feeling better I'm trying to catch up on mammoth fail and everything, right... and they were looking for a paid user to set up a feed, right?
But somebody already did it before I could say anything, right? Yey!
But the page was also looking for volunteers to collect links
But I somehow left a comment on THAT post I meant for somebody else in a friendslocked post somewhere else saying I'd be very willing to help them for a totally unrelated thing... I...
10:26 PM So I volunteered for something I didn't mean to...
And the person is like, hello I haven't seen you in these discussions before...
And I was like... WHO IS THAT? myself
http://linkspam.dreamwidth.org/674.html?thread=5282
10:27 PM lulz, how do I explain that...
amiangelwings: o.o
me: I swear that's what happened
... I have no way to explain that either
10:28 PM Should I just say, uh, um... wrong volunteering, how do you do that? Because I totally wouldn't mind helping.
At ALL.
but...
uh...
10:29 PM this confuses me.
10:32 PM Well, it would make sense that you hadn't encountered me, since I am a flake who leaves comments on the wrong posts. Regardless, i really would be very happy to help?
...That's honestly exactly what I'm thinking right now. Gah.
10:34 PM I've been up for too long
10:37 PM What do you do if you accidentally volunteer for the wrong thing and then have to introduce yourself? Lying a good idea?
headdesks
10:39 PM ...I'm just really nervous because I don't want to deal with people I don't know right at this second, with everything going, on, I think that's it
10:40 PM also I'm typing weird and you're probably having an ami party with cats or thinking how weird I am...
9 minutes
10:49 PM me: sigh
10:50 PM amiangelwings: i wouild say
that you didn't mean to volunteer
but you would be happy to
and laugh about it :)
me: I know, I normally would, I'm just like... How do I explain this. hee
10:51 PM I meant to volunteer for a seperate cause! I'm very activist and so flaky you never see me, because I'm always in the wrong places?
10:52 PM amiangelwings: that works!
me: oh merciful jesus why do I let myself have a computer...
M amiangelwings: that works!
i am awersome
and lurky!
:D

11:06 PM me: Hold on, is this good for a beginning?
Oh dear. Well, let me explain what just happened. I had joined up to follow along with mammoth fail, and had roughly twenty firefox tabs open, including this post when you were looking for a paid lj user to help set up a feed. In two tabs, apparently, since I saw that somebody had graciously beaten me to it for you. At the same time, I'd been helping a friend set up an anarcho-feminist comm, and so that comment above was actually... meant for them. I had, after all, not been involved in racefail09 except in friendslocked posts/banner linking IM conversations with involved friends, and was in the process of trying to catch up, so just popping in to volunteer out of nowhere might have seemed odd...
11:07 PM amiangelwings: yus :)
11:10 PM me: So while I truly and honestly would be very happy to help collect links, I ask you to keep in mind that though I strive to be an activist and ally, I apparently get very, very confused sometimes... and this is something that no amount of examining may ever fix.
(Does that work, do you think?)

11:15 PM amiangelwings: it's very self deprecating at the end.. but yus
11:17 PM me: Okay, but if anybuddy makes a fail post about my non-race-related-racefail-fail of my majory failyness I'm blaming... You! And bees!
amiangelwings: poor bees D:
