Mind me asking how you met her?

I Guess I Don't ed_rex October 23 2006, 22:23:49 UTC

Since she's revealed herself, I can say it was right here on LJ.

I am shocked - shocked! - that you would mock L.R. Hubbard thusly, with such wicked sarcasm. I think it was in fact the bubble-tea and the weird lighting at the bubble-tea place.

Geoffrey, it seems you have a crush. Has anything come of it since? :)

Nothing Is As It Seem ed_rex October 28 2006, 21:17:25 UTC

Not a crush, young grasshopper, but something much more rare - a moment when one is gifted with the sense of another person in her entirety - or at least, the illusion of same. The universe in a grain of sand, or a metaphysical soul manifest in a smile.

I think it was an experience vaguelly akin to what William James called "religious experience", those moments when one feels a mystic connection to the greater universe of which one is only a small part. (You can ask me about my own, 3 month-long religious experience tonight, if you want to.)
