caught in a bad romance
Apparently my new theory of introspection is to make LJ posts late, late at night, when my filter has failed and my brain is shutting down and I'm having problems keeping my eyes open. Clearly, this is when I'm at my most lucid.
Which is why I'm going to steal a meme from sacae.
1) You are not alone. You are walking in the woods. With who?
Ned. I can't imagine walking in the woods with anyone else. Hell, I don't even like the woods. I'd rather be alone, but I'm too tired to force my imagination any other way. This is awful and I hate myself and it's not boding well for the rest of this meme.
2) You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal is it?
A squirrel. There are squirrels in the woods, right? Like, a bajillion? Maybe some birds too. Pretty birds that sing songs and that I can watch fly around and laugh about because they look so happy, so very happy and pleased with themselves.
3) What interaction takes place between you and the animal?
I'll watch, and smile, and take pleasure in the fact that they are doing whatever it is that they're doing but have stopped long enough for me to see them. I'll laugh at their antics, and then when they're gone I'll continue walking.
4) You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing and before you is your dream house. Describe it.
Two stories, white with pink-ish/peace trim. A good size, not too small. Lots of windows, and a wrap-around porch. A garden filled with flowers and and vegetable patch on the side. Potted plants on the porch, comfortable wicker furniture, windchimes tinkling from the eaves. Kind of kitschy but cute, elegant and plain. Curtains of different colors in the windows.
5) Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
Maybe a very low one, so that I could grow vines and climbing plants.
6) You enter the house. You walk into the dining room and see the dining room table. What do you see on and around it?
A white or pale wood dining set. The table is set for a lot of people, maybe five or six. Plain crystal glasses, white china with a flower or geometric design on it. A nice centerpiece of flowers. All of the chairs have cushions on them. There are windows in the dining room with rose colored curtains on pretty metal rods. There's a china cabinet in the corner with my grandfather's egg collection and my grandmother's collection of sake cups.
7) You exit the house and a cup is on the ground, what kind is it?
A tall crystal glass, the kind you could make an ice cream float in.
8) What do you do with the cup?
Move it out of the way.
9) You walk to the edge of the property where you find yourself standing at the edge of a body of water. What kind of body of water is it?
A lake, but a large lake. The part that borders my property is a sandy beach and shallow water, with a stream inlet nearby.
10) How will you cross the water?
I wouldn't. I would stand and watch and dip my feet in the water and think about how I would fish it. There's a little wooden dock with a rowboat nearby, but I don't use the boat. I just sit and think and then go wade into the water until I feel the sand slipping out from under my feet, and I stop and float on my back.
1) The person who you are walking in the woods with is the most important person in your life.
You've got to be kidding. Fuck my life forever.
2) The size of the animal is representative of your perception of the size of your problems in your life.
That's comforting.
3) The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is representative of how you deal with your problems.
I... watch my problems play and then laugh? Wow, no wonder I'm so fucked up.
4) The size of your dream home is representative of the size of your ambition to solve your problems.
We already knew that about me.
5) A lack of a fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at all times. The presence of a fence indicates a closed personality. You'd prefer people not drop by unannounced.
6) If your answer did NOT include food, flowers, or people, then you are generally unhappy.
Wait what. I didn't even think about food or people being an option. ... Then again, I didn't even really want someone to be walking with me.
7) The durability of the material with the cup is made of is representative of the perceived durability of your relationship.
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH WHOM, EXACTLY.
8) Your disposition of the cup is representative of your attitude.
... I moved it out of the way. My attitude is to... move things out of the way?
9) The size of the body of water is representative of the size of your sexual desire.
Is that so.
10) How wet you get in crossing the water is indicative of the relative importance of your sex life.
Okay wait something is very wrong here now.
That was mildly depressing. I'm going to bed now.
