*this is not a song that anyone in the mansion might know--it's a song of John's composing, the overture to his musical about Houdini. he's trying to make a key change work, and having only partial success*

John Jeckyll--good luck with your lovers, Mr. Jones.

[notallworthy.livejournal.com]

"Please. Call me Tom."

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

Tom Jones. You probably aren't familiar with Broadway, if Handel is the scope of your musical tastes, or I'd make a joke.

[notallworthy.livejournal.com]

"I probably wouldn't get it." Despite the fact that that Tom Jones' stage name comes from this Tom Jones.

*that Tom Jones fails! And John doesn't know that bit of trivia* I imagine you wouldn't have read the novel, either--bloody thick book. I really only skimmed it for exams, myself.

Typist: Notifications are getting touchy, and I can't edit John's journal display, so I can't get to Tom's comments manually. If I don't reply very quickly, I'm sorry. =(

"Novel? No. I've never been one for reading."

Typist: Odd that you can't change it. If this is what your e-mail notification looks like, Their reply was:

Click on the view thread option from one of the old comments. It might work. Or you can try a new journal style. My personal journal has the same style and it lets me edit.

My taste runs more to plays, really--however, I get my share of Jekyll-and-Hyde jokes. Unless you've never heard of that one, either.

Typist: Ooh, going to the thread sounds like a brilliant idea! Thank you! Some people are not able to do several things, and I am one of them--not able to do them, I should clarify, on any of my journals. They are:

1) Make long posts
2) Add userpics
3) Edit custom friends groups
4) Edit journal styles
5) More stuff that's also showed up on the support boards

So it's hopefully just a really temporary problem that's local to me and some other users--but thank you for the old comment tip!

"No. I've never heard of it. I suppose that means you don't need to worry about me making jokes." He gives a beaming smile of Tom-ness.

Typist: Threads are awesome. That what I've been doing to get around the whole recursion error problem. And it's rather odd that it's doing that to all of your accounts...

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

*sees your beaming smile of Tom-ness, and matches it as well as John can* You don't seem inclined to make jokes at others' expense. Rare trait.

Typist: *uses your trick--and lo! gets in!* I agree, although from what the people on the support boards say, that happens to everyone who has these problems. =(

"I don't see why I should. I don't have enough wit for that sort of thing. I'll leave it to smarter people like Rick."

Typist: I should send a sympathy bouquet...

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

Does he make jokes at the expense of others?

Typist: One flower for each character? ^_~

[notallworthy.livejournal.com]

"He's made me into a joke once or twice."

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

How so?

[notallworthy.livejournal.com]

"We're very different people. I'll 'Mr. Carstone' him about being proper, and he'll 'Mr. Jones' me about not thinking before I act and we'll go back and forth."

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

And you're fairly sure you love him.

Typist: Also--I totally didn't realize how much Richard and Curio fight until I went back and reread. I don't think Curio fights with anyone so much as he does with Richard.

[notallworthy.livejournal.com]

"He died for me."

Typist: Do you mean fight in the bickering sense?

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

I'd heard that was less than permanent here.

Typist: Yes, mostly, but they've also just yelled at each other a few times. Richard thinks about sex way more than Curio thinks is healthy, and Richard thinks Curio's worldview is disturbing. ^_^;;

[notallworthy.livejournal.com]

"Neither of us knew it at the time and thank goodness that it is."

Typist: I don't remember yelling. And I totally second the sex obsessed Victorian opinion.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

Indeed. *trying sososohard not to be a jerk, and so changing the topic (with mixed success on the not-being-a-jerk front)* How's the sex?

Typist: Hmm. Maybe I just have a lower threshold for yelling. ^_^;;

[notallworthy.livejournal.com]

Oh god is Tom blushing now. "Ummm... neither of us really know what to do..." he mumbles.

Typist: Where was this yelling!?! *totally not yelling*

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

*forgive John for laughing, Tom--but he does* Not like being with a woman, it seems?

Typist: They fought a bit here, and there was one incident in which (by my standards) Curio outright yelled at Richard here.

[notallworthy.livejournal.com]

Tom blushes even more and looks at the carpet as though a new galaxy had opened up and he was busy examining it. "No..."

Typist: Give me a moment to review the incidents.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

Ugh. You won't want to go back once you've deciphered it. Women. *shudders* Most misguided attempt to gain my parents' affection that I've ever made.

[notallworthy.livejournal.com]

Still looking down a little sheepishly. "I like them. But I like Richard as well. It's less confusing with them."

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

They're untrustworthy, ungainly, and unattractive. They're rather like gay men with breasts, in fact, but infinitely less enjoyable.
