[...walk on, walk on by...]

Man, I have this urge to post but few fannish things (or even interesting real-life things!) to post about. I tried with the MBTI thing, but duuude, did that go over like a lead balloon or what? Even so, I hold to the position that it's interesting-- or at least, it is to pop-psych nuts like me.
    I want to ask people what they wanna see on here (besides H/D pr0n), and yet I don't wanna feel pressured so I don't. Heh. Better not to know some things. Maybe.
    I also feel weird 'cause there's not that many compulsive posters on my flist (anymore); well... compulsive-posters-of-thinky-posts (not just 'update' posts, which are nice! better than never-update posts). Um. What was I saying. I think I'm saying I aspire to be like lykaios when I grow up :> (And I also wanna ask people who should I friend for many thinky fannish posts, especially of the H/D variety, but yaoi/shoujo meta will do, but... eh. Then I'm like 'but adding people is scary'. -.-)

Anyway, my point was that I was picked up by a hippie today. Like... literally.

I was in Barnes & Noble to pick up a book, so of course I picked up 4, decided to stay to have my take-away as I read through the other 3, then got a chai, and then stayed until closing (it's the story of my life). I blithely assumed no one noticed me even if they looked-- I mean, there were several knots of college-age slackers here and there in the adjacent cafe-type-thing they always have in Barnes & Noble's these days-- nifty how that works, isn't it? I like to pretend I'm invisible!woman, and most times people play along (and I generally don't think too much that they're whispering about me except I suppose sometimes they are).

Naturally, I missed my bus twice, and was walking to wait for whichever one came next (this also happens often) when this woman pulls up in a car and says 'wanna ride home?'. She looked harmless, so I said 'yeay', and she said I looked 'forlorn' as I crossed the parking lot, haha. Of course, she turned out to be a 'healer'-type hippie (Reiki or something) and told me I had a very bright energy so that she couldn't help but notice, as it shone brighter than all the other erstwhile Barnes & Noble browsers. Haha.

...Man, that sort of thing always feeds into my sekrit megalomania, I swear. Wouldn't it be nice if I sekritly had this beacon of 'HAHAHA I AM COOL' even though I look like a loser? It's sort of like having a second identity as a princess!ranger. Or maybe that's just me.

I let her drive drive me all the way home even though I just wanted to go to campus, listening to her talk about her life with her house-to-house moving meditation circle (or whatever it is) and how having a child grounded her and how she's learning to verbalize things and how we assign meanings to words, did you know? (Yeah.)

I usually don't feel comfortable with strangers, but sometimes I do. It's almost enough to make me feel 'normal', though naturally it's because I have such a bright aura, hehehe.
    It just goes to show you: some people are 'aloof' and 'untouchable'; I'm just... a weirdo-magnet. (But it's better than being aloof! Hahahah, I don't think anyone can seriously look at me and be like 'omg, she's just TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL'. Thank god; I'm so introverted I'd never talk to anyone if that were true, ahaha...ha.)

And I also wanna ask people who should I fiend

Well stated, my friend, well stated.

Also re: taking rides from strangers, O_o.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

....Yes, see, it's good to know you appreciate my Arte. *coughs*

But she looked harmless! And I, with my MAGICAL PRINCESS ENERGY, could CLEARLY tell that from A MILE AWAY!

[addictedkitten.livejournal.com]

Why did you edit it, fucker? That was an awesome typo. I would totally fiend people if I could.

What a fabulously entertaining Mary Sue you would be.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

...i know, but. i have a knee-jerk need to correct all typos :( IT'S LIKE A DISEASE :(

I would be...!! :(( I even know what color sparkles would shoot from my fingertips and *everything*. I've picked out the dress color-scheme, have my eye on some minions... all I need is SECRET AND OVERWHELMING AMOUNTS OF SHEER DESTRUCTIVE POTENTIAL. Yes.

[notrafficlights.livejournal.com]

:P Even when I do post thinky posts you never comment, biyatch.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

*facepalm* If y'mean the Y - The Last Man stuff, I was waiting till I uh... read the last 3-4 issues or so; and I haven't watched the Oscars or any other TV in like... yonks. :(( Actually, that's a lot of the problem... people -are- posting... about stuff I don't follow... ^^;;;;

[notrafficlights.livejournal.com]

Heh, I was just ribbing ya. It's cool. There's absolutely no pressure to comment on my posts. XD

[loftily.livejournal.com]

I like when you post real life things. Like your hippie story. Which is crazy. Make a happy-making list! I feel like everyone should make a happy list post sometime in their LJ careers. (I have made, like, sixteen.)

[lykaios.livejournal.com]

i aspire to be like you, girl of the sixteen happy lists.

[loftily.livejournal.com]

:"> gosh. It is not hard! I make lists like this all the time to cheer myself up. They are more fun when you post them and other people post theirs in response, though.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

I like your new icons, whee. ♥ I'm a sucker for flowering trees. I wish there were always flowering trees :( It's still snow on the ground outside :/

Heheh right now, I'm happy 'cause: man, pretty boyporn; I have new shampoo!; I'm looking forward to supper; I want to finish my gritty-violent-badass-with-nearly-no-redeeming-qualities book; I'm trying to make plans; that girl in a puddle reminds me of the Hana Yori Dango ending song; um. The people upstairs play okay music, even if it's loud enough that it's like I'm playing it -.-

...I dunno, it's not v. uplifting, somehow :-? It's usually like that :>

[loftily.livejournal.com]

I like them too! When I went back down to six, the Lion King ones just weren't effective anymore. So I went for sad springtime. :))

Mine aren't always uplifting either, though. Just kind of, this is what was good about today, even if it was just some little stuff. What kind of shampoo? I love new shampoo. ♥.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I got two(!) shampoos just 'cause shampoos make me happy. One was a Herbal Essences one with kiwi, kumquat & fig (...), but mostly it's green and springy-smelling, and there was another green one called 'Fruitis' that I thought I'd try. I barely resisted getting the milk&honey one 'cause it's so sweet, but I went for refreshing. And also 'ocean' bodywash, ahahah. There can never be enough fruity shampoo :D

Though usually what makes me happy is stuff I've read, which people wouldn't get if they didn't read it. But I did get my pretty ring with the leaf design in the mail yesterday.... that made me happy for like, 20 minutes :))

dude, i can't imagine any hippies ever driving up to OUR barnes and noble and offering me a ride home. well, this wouldn't work for a number of reasons, because one, i'd be lame and not accept, and two, i live fourteen miles away from the barnes and noble here, but still.

dude, there are some people on my flist i can't even wring an UPDATEY post out of. although i don't really try. and it makes me sad. and i like your journal. and i know how you feel and i feel like posting sometimes, about anything, because i just do, and after i write a forty-page long entry that i refuse to cut i don't exactly feel accomplished but i feel nice.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

See, I didn't know it was odd to accept rides when the person offering was a 'normal' looking chick my age, I guess? What is she gonna do, rape me with a spoon? (....well.... I -guess-, but.......) I didn't know she was a hippie till she started about how she noticed my energy :D :D I was like O RLY?? :D :D

No one ever offers me rides, except that one dude in California that uh, clearly wanted some action so I was like 'okay, I won't come with you but I'll flash you', so I did. Um. We were on the corner of a sorta-busy street, but. No one was looking. Right. -.-

If writing lj posts was a job, I'd... I'd probably procrastinate a lot more, but.

[loftily.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaha oh Reena. :>

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

....See, I said I was a weirdo-magnet 'cause it's *true*. It's like they know I'm One Of Them, or something. In other words, I have a lot of stories like that. Though I only flashed a guy the one time. :>
