Notes from a dragon godmother

Dear f-list:

Your Neopetsesque baby dragons and dragon eggs, and scary-as-hell miniatures of Audrey II with vines and mouths and various other tentacles are adorable. But as someone who spends roughly one-third of her time on LiveJournal these days clicking on every god- blessed, one, I feel a right of intrusiveness as a sort of scaly godmother, and have a couple of suggestions:

1. When your eggs and dragons take up more space on a journal entry than the words you type, maybe it is time to stop adopting new eggs. Move slowly AWAY from the pixellated Jurassic Park. WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN YOU ALREADY HAVE.

2. If you start naming them after the Winchester brothers' imaginary grandchildren, so help me, I WILL defriend you. This includes my sister, should she ever figure out where the adoption site is. (Please, don't tell her.)

As for all the rest of you who are dragonfree by choice - keep clicking for your friends. It's what all us cool kids do!

My sister had one of those when she was much younger. Somehow, Mom ended up taking care of it and actually paid attention to it. This went on for a few months, at least, until the battery gave out.
