Notes from a dragon godmother

[veronica_rich]

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!

Um... what?

*I'm confused.*

Have no fear, I don't intend to adopt anymore than the three I already have. Then again, if they don't hatch and they die instead, I might be forced to... :P

lol. You know, I adopted one after first following a link of the_dala's. But I never really figured out what I was supposed to do with it. I'm sure it's dead by now. Oh, well. (My inner reptile is a bad mother. :P)

You too have quite a number of friends who have adopted dragons, I assume?

I may have to steal this.

My kids had a Tamagochi once, and it beeped constantly. I finally hid the damn thing and it died.

They didn't speak to me for weeks...

Sooo, where can I get these things?

:P

*giggles* The scary one with vines is going back into the cave now it's grown.

A friend of mine had one of those things... looked like a gremlin... didn't shut up... ... Ferbi, that's it!

Apparently if you wanted it to sleep all you had to do was shove it somewhere dark. *shakes head* Nope, not this one. It carried on talking to itself all night, if memory serves. In the end we buried it under a lot of clothing in her cupboard.
