LJ Match

I had assumed that this LJ Match thing that was spreading like wildfire was a program that filtered through all the interest lists of LJ users to give you links to the people who score the most interest matches with you.
I was terribly disappointed to see the questionnaire...one of my pet peeves is this a or b, true/false crap that seems untrue and vague and useless whichever way you answer. Ergh. I started it out of curiousity and then gave up in disgust. Does anyone know if what I mentioned in the first sentence exists? THAT seems quite simple and logical.

i was unable to access the LJ Match thingie... disappointing to hear it's vague and useless; i'm much more interested in real communication than pet peeves... i was under the impression that paid users had access to a similar function that returned a list of people with similar interests (for all that means... define a person's interests in 150 words or less), but since i'm a freebooter (argh! like a pirate!) i can't access this function...

back to scanning the colours from the clouds///

Meh, yeah. I don't know if what you're talking about exists, but my own two cents is that I started to do it too, and gave up in digust at "Height and weight between ___ and ____" ...what the fuck is that? I don't know? I don't say to myself, "oh she's PERFECT...only, an inch / inch and a half too short..." I realized at that point, yes, this is some bullshit singles / dating bullshit. Fuck, I don't even get with people like that;

"our statistical data matches congruously. we should court and possibly copulate." LJMatch, suck my fucking ass.

*thinks a bit* 'course, I am on the comet-tail of being drunk, so I'm sure I sound a bit more teeth-gnashy than I really am, but I guess...I just am kind of irked. Annoyed.

*shrugs*
Kind of.
