I just plurked my last plurk.

(And now, I'm gonna plurk to my plurky plurk while plurking with these plurks plurkily.)

I just realized that I could never love it. I'm sorry, Jin, I tried. I really did. Hard. All right, maybe not that hard.

Not sure where it failed me. Probably the karma thing? It did rub me the wrong way. Kinda like that MLM stuff, where you simply have to keep buying their products just to maintain a certain amount of commission.

I would like to change my profile's background, please. (Oh, that would be 10 karma points, sir.)

Hmm, what about using my own CSS? (Twenty-five karma points, please.)

Really? What about my name, surely I can change it? (Sorry, sir, that would require 40 karma points.)

But it's my own name! All right, all right, tell me how I get to use those funny emoticons. (These ones, sir? Fifty karma points would get you these and more, sir.)

Dude! Really? But you ripped them off YM, gosh! (Sorry, sir, that's the policy. Nothing I can do, I'm just your imaginary customer service officer.)

Fine. Can I just cancel my account, please? (Sir, I really don't know how to tell you this, but you can't.)

I can't? What do you mean, I can't? Wait a minute... I see, if that's how you wanna play this. Tell me, how many points must I have to cancel my account? (Sir, I'm afraid I cannot help you, points or no points.)

Lemme get this straight. You live in my imagination and you cannot help me? I would like to speak to your manager, please. (As you wish, sir, this is your imagination.)

So you're the manager, huh? Good. How do I cancel my account? (I'm afraid that is not currently possible, sir. But may I know why you would like to cancel your account?)

Why? Why? Because I cannot do anything around here with my current karma! Just cancel my account, please, I don't care how you do it. (But, sir, no one has ever done that. Feedback we have received from everyone seems positive so far.)

So let me be the first, then. Everything's gotta have its first, right? (I'm sorry, sir, not in this case. However, may I interest you in our upcoming features? They're really cool and may change your mind.)

I don't friggin' want your upcoming features! If I want cool things, I'd go get myself a refrigerator! Geez, what good is your imagination if you can't get what you want in it? (Yes, sir, I understand. That must be very hard to take.)

You know what, shut up. So there's really no way I could get out of this? (Sir, you requested that I shut up.)

All right, all right, all right, don't shut up. There. Tell me. (Sir, we simply do not cancel accounts around here. Even if there were such feature -- which there isn't -- would you be willing to do it at your own risks? Mind you, such feature would not have been tested before, since it would practically be unused.)

Hmm... That's a good point, Imaginary CS Manager. When we're done with this, I would make you my imaginary project manager. (Why, thank you, sir.)

Well? (Just between us, sir -- since I admire your persistence in this matter -- you cannot cancel your account. You can, however, invite more of your friends to use our service.)

Huh? And why would I want to do that? (You see, sir, this would ensure that you do not suffer -- please don't quote me on that -- alone. You will have your friends to share with.)

Hey, for once you actually make sense. Lemme think this through... You know what, this may just work! (Glad I can be of assistance, sir.)

In fact, now that I think about it... That could be why I received so many invitations! Smart friends. Thanks a lot, Imaginary Manager. Now I see why you're the manager. (My pleasure, sir, and you're most welcome.)

Oh, this is so great! I'm so gonna start inviting all my friends right now! Good day to you, mate. (And to you, sir.)

[No customer service officers or managers were harmed in the making of this silly conversation. Plenty of minutes wasted, though.]

Nah, Plurk is not that bad. You can cancel your account for free.
