Am I a verb?

I do _not_ have a harem!

Glee #1: bridgetester made something up!

Glee #2: regyt didn't make something up!

It continues to be lovely out, pretending to be summer, weather-wise, but not nearly as humid as summer usually is. I like. :)

So, I have a really difficult time remembering that most (all?) the people I have been or am close to think of themselves as shy, because they either have never been shy at me (that I could pick up on) or were shy around me in a situation that I can't imagine anyone ever _not_ being shy in.

I have frequently been informed that I make it easy to not be shy around me (or perhaps at me). I don't really understand this, though.

I mean, yeah - I probably would not notice anyone (to a degree where I remember them later, at least) who was being highly shy at me, so that'll automatically select out such people. But... there are some people who tell me they are shy who, when I first met them, were being _anything_ but shy. (my roommate is one such example)

I do wonder if it relates to the fact that I may not behave appropriately around people who are being shy, if I have sufficient social energy that I am not myself being shy - perhaps because I may not pick up on it? And, well, I'm sufficiently random that I will share interestings observations with anyone who happens to be nearby... which might give shy people an opening with which to interact with me? And, well, people doing sufficiently interesting things is likely to cause me to just start talking to them about it.

I don't know. I don't get it! Yet another thing I should figure out how to bottle up and sell - the defusing of shyness that I apparently exude.

Anyone happen to be able to explain this to me?

I was suddenly grabbed by the idea that I've seen many other people use, where they suggest that people comment anonymously in their journal.

So! IP logging is off, and anonymous posting is allowed (neither of these are changes from normal, actually). Tell me something! Anything! Be secretive and yet spark my curiosity at the same time. Make me crazy, wondering who posted what. :)

Be silly! Be crazy! Be brutally honest! Confuse me, entertain me, make me laugh too hard to breathe!

[Note: If there are cruel comments posted, no matter who they are about or aimed at, I will delete them. Go elsewhere to do that kind of thing. (honesty is fine. Cruelty is not)

I don't actually expect it to be a problem, as I cannot think of any time that anyone has posted anything nasty or cruel on my journal, but I wanted to have stated it anyway.]

So, I'd been avoiding replying to the 'comment and I'll tell you why I think you're nifty' things, mainly because I won't do it myself, because my friends list is too big and I'm not sure I know all of you well enough. But! I was sufficiently curious about what carocrow would say that I commented anyway. (probably so curious because of a combination of not being someone I know in-person, and for nifty journal reasons)

The reply charms me so much that I share (after asking, since it was a locked post). :)

"wispfox, you are a true sensitive, a lute string for the universe. I can sense your ability to alter your environment as well as change colors with it, like a little gecko. You are small and swift and lovely, like a hummingbird. I am glad that we are on the same planet."

I AM A GECKO!

(geckogeckogeckogecko...)

I'm not entirely sure why being a gecko pleases me more than the hummingbird, since, well, hummingbird! But it does. Not to say that the hummingbird should feel left out or anything, 'cause hummingbirds are fascinating and colorful. :)

I get to be music and a gecko and a hummingbird! *gleeee*

*intensely pleased*

Holy random downage, Batman!

In an oddly depressed mood. Honest compliments and not overly contrived attempts to cheer me up would not go amiss. At the moment, *hugs* feels like they would feel contrived, perhaps because they would not be real.

I was wondering, while driving home, what it is about my journal that makes you people want to read it.

And, for those of you who know me in person, if that is why, or if there are other reasons.

So - share! Tell me what brings you to read my journal, if you are so inclined. My curiosity wants to know!
