meet & meet & meet again

for some reason I just can't work at home. i've been meaning to write my counselling paper for a week... but. need to meet a friend at uni tomorrow in hopes of motivating each other to at least start. since it is due in <2days. but i'm not worried because.. I have hold of someone's same paper from last year. hurrah!

I am terrible, yes.

so today! well I woke at 4am and never did get back to sleep, lay in frustrated freezingness despite two doonas, three blankets & two cats.

previously had had a disturbing dream about a friend of mine in which she cleaned my house while dressed in a provocative bunnie costume consisting of a fuzz-tailed g-string. & floppy ears, of course. I don't think I will tell her about it.

was horribly bored by my choice of outfits, so thought I would wear a hat. but in the box labelled "hats" I found only wigs. so? wore a wig:



"you have no idea how many looks you're getting," said James.
"sure I do. I just wish they wouldn't pretend like they weren't."

because every time I looked at someone I found them looking at me,
UNTIL I LOOKED AT THEM and their eyes sped in every other direction.

I was accused of having a foundation for everything of apathy, and an avoidant attachment style (positive self, negative other).
so? my outsight is 20/20.

I've been having vague dreams that aren't quite asleep and aren't quite consciousness. It could, of course, have to do with the seven hour soundscape I put on every night before I go to bed.

that is terribly Romantic. I wish you could film them.

I wish I could remember them. I feel like they are in the pattern of answers, but they're slippery, and my mind can't hold them for long.

You are very lovely,

You are also fascinating, which is infinitely more important.

Praise indeed. :)

Holy crap nobody ever reads that!

Er, I mean thankyou very much - I enjoyed writing it. :)

[identity profile] ninedeadleaves.livejournal.com 2006-06-01 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Do you write much? I'd like to read more.

[identity profile] avantave.livejournal.com 2006-06-01 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's what I do.

The easiest way would be for me to add you to my LJ reading list so you can filter through the memorable "My Writing" posts at your leisure. That stuff is usually just a draft, though. Like the userinfo.

Does that suit you?

[identity profile] ninedeadleaves.livejournal.com 2006-06-01 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, me too. I'm just going to add you and if you'd like to add me also then all will be gleeful.

aw, yay

I feel like such a matchmaker!
not that I actually did anything..

Never forget the delicious power of proxy.

Well, I'd stare at you as well. But for positive reasons. You look positively radiant to me ;-) And, I have a tendency to stare at people without submission to social norms. It makes for a more interesting subway ride.

Reading Bartholomew? (Positive Self, Negative Other)

& radiant, wow! best compliment evar.

I believe he's the one who first published the idea of positive/negative self/other... look for a 1990 paper. I'm not an expert.
