I was ranting at Treyu and Tohim on IRC before I realized that it'd be much easier to just make a post about it! There isn't a word limit, for instance!

I mean, not one I could meet anyway.

This is Cait

[agirl_gonemad]

I want to hold your hand, entangle your fingers with mine like the threads holding my soul together.

l-lol.

Also, people of the world: if someone has their headphones on, they PROBABLY DON'T WORK THERE.

*adds you as a friend.

:| Was that a bad pickup line? I can never tell because I would actually be so very reluctantly charmed if someone came up and told me that. RELUCTANTLY but still charmed.

[agirl_gonemad]

It's the reluctant part that makes me go "aww you're sixteen and never got laid, I might decide to help you with that" as a response to that pick up line. It's not bad, so much as it is earnest in entirely the wrong way.

See whereas I think anyone using that line is probably being so ridiculously over-the-top on purpose. And that's sort of charming. That you would think up something like that and say it even knowing how utterly terribly beyond the pale it is.

I imagine anyone using it would have been laughing, and actually reaching out to thread their fingers through yours. I imagine a slight curve of the lip and laughter-tinged voice idk idk (flails hands at you)
