The story of yesterday includes delightful skinnydipping in rather cold water that did not diminish the obvious attraction that the body of one Brady felt for that of Jean. She giggled inwardly. He, having a total lack of bodyfat, shivered and shivered when he got out of the water. Taking pity (and inwardly delighting), she warmed him fulllengthily until a man appeared on the other side of the river and their bare buttocks went flashing through the woods. More giggling. He laughed and asked her if she were... seeing anyone, and grew delightfully frustrated at the confusing sorts of answers she delighted in giving. He nipped at her ear while laughing and couldn't resist, later, stopped at a stoplight, turning around to attempt to steal kisses. Green means go, Brady.
There's this thing I do, right? I meet a boy, and I am my most Jean ever until I find out that he likes me (like, LIKES me). At that point, I go PHEW inwardly and start to discourage overmuch attachment. I watch in mirrored surfaces for him to watch me while I walk away, but would be more discouraging later if he did, though I'm disappointed if he doesn't.
What do you think about that? Do you do it too?
I figured you'd been skinny dipping - jean swimming in underwear sounds
wrong. Sounds like a good time, though a bit of a tease ;-)
I've seen the thing you do. Or, rather, heard about it. I find it
interesting as to what it could mean, as you were not your most jean when
you met me, but continue to be more and more jean each time we spend time
together. This seems to go opposite of what you normally do.
This is easily explicable. I knew already that I didn't particularly like you when I met you first.
In addition, I do not do as well with people when I am introduced to them. I prefer to meet people on my own.
I'm not sure what I think about it, exactly. I shall venture a guess as to
why you do it, though.
I think you fear people not liking you, as you've made yourself. People not
liking Jean. Because of this, you shower them with how wonderful Jean is
when you first meet them.
I think the reason I don't know exactly what I feel about that is because I
think that eventually, and eventually being soon, someone will be hurt by
this, and because of that, you'll be hurt too. I think that you'll find
that in college, where everyone is new and there are no premade friendships,
there will be many more sad Ryan type faces than the other places you've
been. Even still, I wouldn't want you to change.
I think that fear is too strong a word. I don't like it when people exclude me from their lives when I WANT IN. I want YOU to love me so that you'll let me love you. Needing love isn't just about being loved... it's all about being allowed to express your own without things turning weird. I have a need to love and to be loved. Constantly.
I think that in a right world there would be no sad ryan faces. I attempt to live in a right world and draw other people in with me.
How do you think I can avoid hurting people?
to you, specifically...
Heard about it? I am curious.
