Bored of memes, ask me something freeform...

...oh, and preferably make it something that requires more than a simple yes or no or factual-data type answer, though there's no way I can really police that anyhow. It's rather frustrating when you have tons of people out there sharing their daily cornflakes-and-milk and you aren't precisely that kind of person to go into that much mundane detail 'cause it doesn't strike you as being important (and sharing the details and intensities of your love life seems a bit irrelevant to anyone else but the parties involved). And when you don't know what everyone else is interested in hearing about in your life, and so you basically gank quizzes and shite, which is like pulling things out of a hat to react to on-camera.

Enh. It's certainly not as if I have nothing going on in my life, but it takes a certain amount of energy to filter and sort and recount it for a general audience. So, to avoid the horrorvacui of a blank topic waiting to be filled with anything atall, I'm dropping the ball in your courts, to be redropped in mine. Feel free to riff off anything I've said on here before, too.

And then I'll pose you some random queries.....fair enough, 'stead of just passing things around ad infinitum.

I still need to read your other reply, but so far, I'm in love. :)

I'm rather curious, having read a bit of your journal, what exactly goes into this intensely ambivalent relationship you seem to have with the mental construct of "Woman"....surely they can't all be carbon-copies of the same exact archetype, can they?

(And if the ones you've dealt with are, then I'm sure as hell staying away from 'em too...)

So are they high-maintenance, shallow, hyper-mundane, or what? I suppose that one could say most people (of either/all genders) have skewed habits/patterns that have been imprinted on them without resistance because they're unremarkable and don't take the trouble to clarify themselves to themselves, but that part seems more in the line of "normal" (i.e., unenlightened) vs. "eccentric"(self-aware) than any sex/gender dynamic.

And it shows a great deal of ill-concealed anxiety, too, even if you like to fool around with gender signifiers yourself. There's a reaction in there, and it seems odd in a person of your intellect and fineness of logic that it should be such a memetic monolith.

That's a big part of it. I'm sort of like a diamond that became lost in a field of coal, or a monk that got lost in the woods, searching for the forest, running around in circles.

This is something I wrote a short while ago:

I was about to step into the shower and then changed my mind, feeling that it might be a good idea to remove the nail polish from my toenails first so that I don't smell like nail polish remover, which reminded me that I may need to remind myself to make a point of reminding sandalfon to pick up some cottonballs as they're a lot better than tissue paper for removing nail polish. Maybe I can tie a red string around my big toe, but then I'll have to find yet another way of reminding myself what that's for and reminding myself that I put it there in the first place.

Welcome to a snapshot of the inside of my brain... is it really any wonder that I'm totally insane?

So, you take an essentially highly-gifted female brain, put it into a male body, smack it around a few times, add in a bit of testosterone, shake well, and you have me.
