@X. Dell, it IS odd, it’s also how I came to be in the road shows.. I was/am very shy and I had horrific stage fright. I did all of that in order to confront my fears. I mostly beat them but whenever I speak to a new person, I’m terrified inside yet I swallow it down and force myself to actually break ice..
Years ago, in my foolish youth, I used to hitch-hike all over the place. Sometimes I’d find myself on an open road in the hot sun and even if I was running behind, I’d take off my sandals, carry them in hand, put my thumb down, and just walk for miles in my bare feet on the side of the road. I’d listen to the wildlife and the passing cars, I’d cherish the sun on my face and feel the filthy road dust in my skin and hair with pride. I was the warrior..
I dunno about the sandwiches, everyone thinks that’s weird.
“I’m not nearly as well put together as I usually appear.” having never met you in person, i can’t really speak to this, but from all of your pictures, i think you pull off the deception quite well! : )
“I have serious issues with low self esteem.” 2011 is the year that everything is coming together for every person i know. since that circle includes YOU, i hope this changes for you, too. now that your health is stabilizing, maybe your confidence will increase with it?
“I suffer from a certain level of body dysmorphia.” i like being thin, but i don’t like my chicken legs… i think i’d look funny with a thin body and full legs, though, so i just deal with it by not wearing shorts as much as possible…
“I’m incredibly shy in person but I fake extroversion well.” it’s likely because i come here to visit you in your space, but i’ve always found you to be very personable and friendly : ) you are a gracious host, my dear, and it’s an honour to be here…
“If I say I don’t care; I actually mean it.” just one of many things i love about you.
“I enjoy the feeling of hot highway tarmac on my bare feet.” okay, that’s a bit weird
“I like peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches.” um, yeah, we’re drifting into the cabbage here…
“I trance out when I dance.” the only way to dance, in my opinion.
“I really don’t like children; except my own.” hear, hear! and if i had children of my own, i’d probably like them too… but it’s not a guarantee! : P truth be told, i really don’t mind kids- it’s their parents that drive me ’round the fucking bend!
“I’m very well educated for a grade eight drop-out.” the school of life teaches us way more than the sheeple factories we process our children through. i think we could devour many pints together if we ever get the opportunity!
peace, girl!

@slimblue, I kinda explained some of the oddities to X.Dell ^up above.. I think that we’d barely even need to talk, you and I, we’d mostly just need to nod and chuckle a lot from mutual knowing but I think we could chatter on endlessly, in fact I’m sure of it!
