Soliciting email forwards
Jan. 19th, 2006 02:27 pmSo, Inapickle has a post here:

...about obnoxious email forwards that promise you stuff if you only believe (and forward the email).
I'm going to come right out and say it: I love email forwards with quizzes, personality test, spiritual mumbo-jumbo, fortune-telling, wish-granting, all of it. Anything that purports to reveal the unknown or grant the impossible.
I. Love. Them.
(The only ones I don't dig are the really overtly, inescapably Christian-y ones. The one Inapickle shows is totally within appropriate boundaries for me, though. I just don't like to hear explicitly about Jesus in my email -- but I don't mind insinuation.)
And you know what? No-one EVER sends them to me. Why? I don't know. Apparently my friends and family imagine that I am discerning, sophisticated person of taste. That I wouldn't enjoy them. Oh, but I am not that person. And I do enjoy them.
So I am turning to YOU, my trusty friends, to think of me when you receive one of those things. I'm easy to reach at miss _ pryss at livejournal dot com, which bounces to my personal address, so those of you who have that should feel free to use it.
Also, if anyone has that email fwd from years and years ago where you're asked to imagine a ladder in the desert with, like, a horse and a vase of flowers and then it explains to you how your version of this scene reveals your inner self, I especially enjoyed that one.
Thanks!
