cteoyfd

[lobelia321]

Someone called almostnever has, apparently, declared this to be Comment To Everyone On Your Friendslist Day.

Now my first thought about this was 'ooh, I'd better make a post so that people can comment'! Isn't that absurd and self-absorbed?

And my second thought was 'ooh, but which Friendslist? I hope it's the Default List because if it's all of the List I'll never get to bed tonight'.

And my third thought was 'ooh, I've just posted something totally inane, a weather report, and the two people who mentioned cteoyfd on their journals immediately commented, and this means they only commented because of cteoyfd and not genuinely, and this cheapens all comments!'

My fourth thought was 'ooh, comments, who cares, just collect 'em'.

I am possibly having too many thoughts upon this topic.

Also, all of my thoughts seem to begin with 'ooh'.

ETA: My obsession with this concept appears to be endless. I have since had two more thoughts!

My fifth thought was, 'so how often do you have to comment in your Friendslist? Do you comment on every single post? Or just once per person? Because some people post a lot! And do comments to comments count?'

My sixth thought was, 'I could signal my cteoyfd comment of the day by entitling that particular comment cteoyfd, and that way people would know, aha, this is cteoyfd comment, and then any subsequent comment or comment I would have made anyway would be untitled and not part of cteoyfd'

I am now a pretzel, I am so tied up in thoughts.

Also, I have developed a worrying affinity for the acronym cteoyfd.

Yet more ETA (see what this meme does to me?):
cteoyfd stands for 'comment to everyone on your friendslist day'.

Seventh thought: Does this mean you also have to feedback every fic that appears on your Friendslist, whether in a person or a community post???

Also, I have been naughty. I have been commenting the acronym cteoyfd in all sorts of people's journals. Just the acronym, without explanation. Some of these people may not know this meme is happening. Also, they may not know that I singlehandedly decided to acronymise it. But it is so much fun being naughty. *hangs head but continues doing it!* *runs away like nine-year-old who's rung neighbour's doorbell*

well *this* person is having a bone-idle afternoon and would've commented anyway.

cteoyfd sounds very welsh.

b.x :D

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Eek, you commented before I even finished my ETA!! Ooh, Welsh. How would it be pronounced?

[birdgerhl.livejournal.com]

in a welsh accent.

*snicker*

b.x ;)

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

Ha! I said that down there, before I'd read up here. Heh.

[severusslave.livejournal.com]

Why don't you just explain the word cteoyfd to me, hun?

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

comment to everyone on your friendslist day!

Hm, I will ETA the post to make this clear. :-)

[severusslave.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's an acronym! Ah. Typing it in upper case might be helpful to point that out more. ;)

It could have been a foreign dish for all I know.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Ooh no, this is special lower case acronym. *cackles somewhat evilly*

[severusslave.livejournal.com]

Dork. :)

[birdgerhl.livejournal.com]

you think too much. ah, the curse of the academic!!!

i think the idea was just to give folks a friendly wave, you know, esp. if you don't usually comment on their journals. i don't think you have to comment on multiple posts. it's easy for me though, i only have a small (but perfectly-formed) flist.

b.x :)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

One can never think too much.

*sniffs and tosses hair*

[birdgerhl.livejournal.com]

oh 'belia. you do make me laugh.

*giggles*

b.x ;)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Have a cteoyfd.

[birdgerhl.livejournal.com]

and you *are* being naughty, yes indeed!!!

*approves*

b.x :D

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

*slaps you on wrist*

[birdgerhl.livejournal.com]

*enjoys it*

b.x :P

[bunnysquee.livejournal.com]

#7 - yes.

i'm bad with the commenting lately and now you've made me all guilty ...

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

No, no, I wash my hands, this is not my meme! This is just me obsessing about somebody else's meme! But er, feel free to burden some of my guilt. There's enough to go round...

cteoyfd whee!

[badgermonkey.livejournal.com]

I'm boycotting commenting too because I am still sulking about my fic.

You fbed. You're OK. Everyone else can go uncommented and like it.

(Not that I hold a grudge or anything).

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

No, there was somebody else who commented! I saw!!

Have a cteoyfd , anyway. Except you haven't posted so I can't cteoyfd you officially.

Also, why is there no wedding list link on your wedding website? And no address for sending gifts to??

*smites all those who Did Not Eff Bee*

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

Oi, you. It's waiting in a special tab until I get a decent period of time in which to read properly. Am also, of course, planning to rec, because I have read the beginning and nearly died. Tis true! Parts of me are dead. But then I had to stop because I had to go to work in the morning and they seem to prefer me alive there, god knows why.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

This is true, you know. She has 84 tabs.

You are utterly insane. At first I attempted not to think about cteoyfd, but it has proved impossible.

My first concern is that I don't most of the people on my friends list and I am confident that they do not know me. I do not know how or why my friends list was created. It would be very odd for me to comment in their journals.

I might wait a few days and than announce a 'declare yourself to strangers on your friends list day'. That would be dcytsoyfld.

Or, I quite enjoy posting to people who are not on my friends list and with whom I share no interests. It is a more maverick approach. You should start a day of that.

How is your back? I was away during your posts about it. Has it improved?

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

dcytsoyfld *cackles insanely*

I should point out that cteoyfd was not my idea. It is a meme I picked up from somewhere, like one might pick up a flu virus.

My back is better, thank you. Still tender, and I'm not going swimming tomorrow nor lifting heavy things.

Honestly, a day of posting to people who are not on my List! No, that's one you have to start! :-D

Oh, and that link I posted, to everyone's favourite pics? That has some yummy Ewans. Incl. one of Ewan in bed with Jude! Do you know it?

[freyafloyd.livejournal.com]

i am going to look at the pics. I am confused by the time on your post, which doesn't seem right, or maybe mine is wrong. I am not entirely sober so that may explain it.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

It is now 22.47. Perhaps LJ thinks I live in Ethiopia?

[freyafloyd.livejournal.com]

This pic thing is marvellous.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Isn't it just?

[firiel77.livejournal.com]

I enjoy reading your journal, hehe, but sometimes I think you think too much. :D

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

As I said to birdgerhl (who, strangely, told me the same thing): One can never think too much! *said in lofty tone, while tossing hair and sniffing*

[firiel77.livejournal.com]

Well, it's certainly superior to not thinking enough!

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

I couldn't be bothered to explain this morning that you only have to comment once per person, and communities don't count.

This is all academic, however, as I have COMPLETELY FAILED cteoyfd. I left two comments all day, not including this one. Oh well. Also, cteoyfd looks kind of Welsh. Which is a plus in my book.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Acronyms r us.

[msilverstar]

cteoyfd to you too!

(you once anointed me "most likely to comment on any given post" and I've tried to live up to it since)

(please note it's still Friday in Pacific Time.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Oh, I remember that!!! Wow. :-) Thanks, sweetie.
