His Writing, Incidentally, Looks A Bit Like That Of Someone I Know.
I received a truly amazing card through the post today, apparently from Derren Brown, which means that his psychic powers are even more impressive than I'd realised, because this isn't the address I included with the ukulele. It had me laughing so hard that my housemate thought I had lost my mind, which was an opinion that did not appear to be altered when she actually read it. I wanted to show it to you, but, sadly, not one of the photographs I took with my housemate's extremely blurry digital camera was readable.
Here is a description instead.
The envelope says, WARNING: THIS ENVELOPE CONTAINS MAGIC, SUGGESTION, PSYCHOLOGY, MISDIRECTION & SHOWMANSHIP. (Plus, pure evil + devil beards.)
The inside left: *POST TO YOUR LJ WHEN YOU GET THIS*
(Sometimes I can't be bothered with subtle manipulation. Just do it.)
(And, hey, you don't refuse a request from Derren Brown. You can't refuse a request from Derren Brown.)
The inside right reads as follows:
Dear Harriet,
I hope you don't mind me writing to you like this, but I can't help but be aware of the intense mental energy you've been devoting to me recently.
Seeing as I get many, many lunatics writing to me and proposing marriage (Coops filters them out for me), I thought it was time the tables were turned. Over the next few weeks, I will subliminally manoeuvre you until you end up in a church, where I will be waiting to marry you. At that time, I will of course allow you to choose what you do. Of course, I might manipulate your choice. I'm evil like that. *nod nod nod*
See you soon,
Derren

P.S. You might want to get your housemates to check their keys and change the code on your burglar alarm, if you have one.
It strikes the balance between charming and creepy perfectly and I adore it. Thank you so much, 'Derren'; you have completely made my day!
This seems an appropriate time to repost one of my favourite memes: the Hey, Let's Blur The Boundaries Between Fiction And Reality meme (or the informal roleplaying meme, if you prefer).
Ask any character you think I might be able to manage a question, and I'll reply in-character as them with an answer (or possibly reply as myself going 'WHAT THE HELL, I CAN'T DO THIS'). Feel free to ask either as yourself or as another character.
Real people are not out of bounds, but obviously this is just for fun and I am not actually claiming to be any real person. Um, apart from, you know, me. I'm real.
