I've only had this thing for eight hours and it's already died once.

I'm not even doing anything to it. I think it's just sensing my inherent lack of maternal warmth deep down in its little eggy circuts.

Buffy... do you have a Tamagotchi?

[classyslayer.livejournal.com]

Not by choice! The government made me take it!

I can babysit if you want, I used to have about ten.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong to mine. It just keeps beeping and nothing makes it stop.

[classyslayer.livejournal.com]

Mine does that too! I think it's defective.

[onhispaths.livejournal.com]

I can't decide if I should be worried about what they'll try to make us do next.

[scienceexplains.livejournal.com]

"Not doing anything to it" might just be your problem.

Well I tried feeding it but all it did was beep angrily at me and make a weird face!

It's strange; when I was in high school, we had to carry around bags of sugar for a week to discourage us from engaging in the very activities the government here is trying to promote.

We had eggs. But they kind of hatched into these gross sucker things and tried to turn everyone in Sunnydale into pod people.

I kind of prefer the angry beeping egg. At least I know it won't hatch into something demony.

...I hope, anyway.

Oh, that thing? Mine's been at the bottom of my purse all day. Whoops.

[scienceexplains.livejournal.com]

That explains why Child Protective Services came by the office this morning.

[disparages]

Hey, if they think they could go a better job they can take it back.

[scienceexplains.livejournal.com]

Were these things really popular? They're like pet rocks, only more irritating.

[classyslayer.livejournal.com]

I'm glad someone is a worse digital egg parent than I am.

[disparages]

It was a gift!

[classyslayer.livejournal.com]

A gift or a cleverly disguised social experiment? I think, anyway. Either that or they're trying to slowly drive us all crazy.

[disparages]

Oh. It could be that too. The crazy thing though- definitely happening with or without the alien pet.

[classyslayer.livejournal.com]

That's probably because they've got like twenty other projects ongoing to drive us all crazy. If one fails, the other is bound to succeed!

[disparages]

Yeah.. Whenever you want to go Slayer on them I'm all for letting it just happen. I might not even know about it beforehand! Sounds more like good old fashioned justice than impending evil and doom, if you ask me.

I threw it out.
