Into My Arid Days [Like Wind]

Another poet I find appealing is Edna St. Vincent Millay. That's why I've bastardized text from one of her poems for tonight's journal entry title. It makes me happy to make titles that will evoke the feeling I had when I wrote an entry, when I read back through this record in the future. Perhaps it seems meaningless or unrelated to the entry

I can't even tell you how often I've had those feelings of anxiety. Seems I still have those remnants of my younger years when I was the geeky little wall flower who didn't know how to talk to people. Sometimes I *still* feel like I have nothing interesting to say and I'm just an observer of those who are fascinating. Why should anyone want to talk to me? I'm just this chick, ya know?

The nice thing, I've found, is that most of the people I've met at the Merc all think they are nothing special and that no one will be interested in who they are. Those times I've kicked myself out of my social anxiety have been scary, but well worth the effort.

....It frightens me a little how much I could have written parts of this post, right down to the part about the SUPER SEEKRIT JOURNAL (which I found, because I am an excellent stalker) and Edna St. Vincent Millay, who I have loved since my grandparents brought me back an anthology of her work in sixth grade.

I think I like you. (Though I haven't met you yet; our ...uh, auras or something, could clash with the sound of a thousand sapphire bullets being fired from a thousand automatics, but I somehow doubt it?) -- that'll change, maybe, tomorrow night? ^-^

(It would be hard not to like you; we love the same boy, and he's uniquely constructed.)

Though I fear that I shall be utterly intimidated by you when we meet (that boy we love certainly makes you sound pretty darned amazing), I also really look forward to it. Perhaps we'll like each other so well that even the sound of a thousand sapphire bullets will sound like the swelling strains of triumphant music, heralding an era of new friendship? Or, um, something?

Nooooo~~~! Do not be intimidated! I am made of fluff and marshmallows! >D I abuse emoticons! I make a lot of jokes about cannibalism to cover up the fact that, if it were consensual and actually safe to do, I'd probably eat people! >D Hee.

*ahem* Yes. :D
